Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2024
Size: C414Style: InstrumentalsConfiguration: SingleVerified Purchase
I got this mic after a few month period of searching, and I have to say, I love this thing. It sounds fantastic on my voice. It has great evenness, not too bright, not too dark, it suits me incredibly well. Plus it has a ton of versatility (which I don't really use too often, I mainly use this for voiceover). I will say it is a little susceptible to plosives though.

The microphones arrived within two days - well packed and sealed.

I have yet to take advantage of all the features of the AKG microphones, but so far, I am very impressed.

Great product and great seller.

Reviewed in India on September 14, 2022
Size: C414Style: VocalsConfiguration: SingleVerified Purchase
Bought this mic to take my voice over work to a more pro level. Having used Rode NT1 & Rode K2, I was just blown away by the sound quality of this mic. If you have a decent preamp and/or audio interface, this mic can do wonders for you in both voiceover and vocals work. It has many in built patterns like cardioid, hypercardioid etc. for your choosing. It produces a nice flat sound which gives you a lot of room while editing in the digital w/s. You can use this for voiceover, vocals, instruments and anything and everything. I would highly recommend buying this product as an all-in-one microphone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst experience from Amazon! Ever.
Reviewed in India on September 3, 2021
Size: C414Style: InstrumentalsConfiguration: SingleVerified Purchase
First of all I gotta say I personally love the sound of this mic and used it alot of times before.
But Amazon ruined the whole experience for me kudos.
1. I got a defective piece right of the bat, the front capsule was not picking up any sound.
And had a lot of noise, tried changing cables didn't solve anything. Unboxing experience ruined, got soo frustrated having to spend soo much money waiting 7 -10 days for the delivery and getting that experience right of the bat.
2. Called customer service everyday and they kept giving me different excuses everytime and kept delaying the refund process. (Also they didn't have a replacement option,hence the refund, which ruined the experience even more for me) 7 days already passed and I have to wait another 7-10 days or even more who knows? For the product to get picked up and returned and another 4-5 days for the refund process. And all they could tell me was "let's hope for the" that's very assuring thanks Amazon.
3. I had to postponed a few recording sessions of my clients, costing me alot of money and wasting my time unnecessarily. And bring me a lot of frustration and headaches. Thanks again.
.
My advice if you love this mic like I do (or planning to buy any expensive electronics) save yourself from this kind of unnecessary frustrations and headaches. Go to a store and get it offline or elsewhere where there is proper quality check of the products before they send out the product. Cheers hope this helps 👍
