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 Mexico on July 21, 2021
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 👍
