Audio-Technica AT2035PK Vocal Microphone Pack for Streaming/Podcasting, Includes XLR Mic, Adjustable Boom Arm, Shock Mount, & Monitor Headphones, Black

I'd recommend just going for the usb version. Its a lot more simple to use and the mic quality isn't much different than the XLR with the use of proper filters. The mic stand is sturdy and a bit noisy when adjusting but overall great.

Most reviews I see on Amazon are for products that have only recently been received by the buyer, but my review is based on four years of use.The AT-2035 microphone, cord, boom arm, and shock mount have held up incredibly well over the years. It has survived weekly use, two full house moves, and curious toddlers who have knocked it down more times than I can count. It has proven to be extremely durable and performs four years later just as well as the day I bought it.The instructions for setup are easy to follow and online support from Audio-Technica has been more than enough to assist me in all of my needs. I've used it for live audio during Zoom calls, recording voiceovers for work projects, and personal projects. The audio is always crisp and clear and there have been no integration issues with the half-dozen different recording programs I've used over the years.If you are a first-time XLR microphone user, you will need to purchase a USB audio interface if recording to a PC or Mac. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface has been an excellent partner to the AT-2035 and I would highly recommend purchasing the two together.This has proven to be an excellent microphone for me as a beginner and has grown with my needs and skill level. If you want a purchase that will hold up over time, I can't recommend this one enough.

Good value, but the sound pick-up is super sensitive...like if you have a fan going in the background it will pick up the whizzing noise. Unless you have a really good soundproof studio, you will struggle with audio quality.

The shipment was so fast! Arrived way earlier than expected. Couldn’t be more happier. The sound quality is great. The only thing negative is that the quality of the boom arm’s like it’s made of some cheap material. But I love it overall. Especially the service of Amazon. Never disappoints!

I am using 4 of these mics for a podcast. The audio quality is excellent. The build quality of the mic is solid. No issues so far and I don't expect there to be any given how well they are constructed. The booms are simple but work well. The booms are not smooth when moving them on the fly but that is a very minor complaint. There are much higher quality booms out there for that sort of thing. The headphones are ok. That is to be expected for cheap studio headphones. I really wouldn't care if someone broke these, but the do the job well enough. If you want quality headphones, go get that separately. Comes with zip up mic bag for storage, xlr cord, boom, at2035 microphone, headphones and a sticker!

I am impressed with this bundle. With a proper preamp, vocal recordings with the AT2035 are crisp, quiet, and clean, especially with the built-in low cut switch enabled. It’s nice that it comes with a boom arm as well: this piece required a slight tightening of a bolt and is now mounted to the side of my desk, holding the mic safety and firmly while allowing good range of motion. The shock mount is also an excellent addition for sonic isolation. Setup was remarkably easy. The headphones are also very good for this price point, preserving high fidelity audio, muffling background noise and sitting extremely comfortably on my head.

UPDATED: lowered from 4 stars to 3 for the overall package.I was mostly interested in the AT2035 microphone, but because the package's price at the time was unusually low (about the same as the price of the mic alone) I went for it. The main problem is that the joint in the boom arm where the mic and shock mount attach is not strong enough for the weight of the mic, and the pivoting arm droops under the weight of the mic. The arm itself does not droop and seems pretty stable, but the rod that the shock mount screws into should have a tightening knob (the same way that boom's center joint has a knob.) In just a few days use, the drooping has gotten worse. I need to jam a clothes pin or nail clipper into the mechanism to get it to be stable. Overall the adjustable boom is poorly designed. It works, but will require unnecessary compromises when making adjustments. Having the long xlr cable threaded through the arm is a very nice touch. Too bad the arm itself is flawed.The headphones sound very good. The cable doesn't coil, both a pro and and con, depending. The headphone cable has an attached 3.5mm plug and includes a 1/4" adaptor.The mic is the AT2035. That's the main thing. If you don't really need the rest of what's in the package, don't bother. You can definitely do better as far as a boom and stand go.

Bundle Is Great For The Price!
