I wanted a good quality mic, on a boom so I could move it in or out of frame while on a video conference, and I wanted my voice to sound good or even great, if possible. I also record voice files and use a mic for other things, including two-way communications. This mic looked to do everything I needed, and I was right. The hardware (boom, holder, non-mic pieces) are a little cheezy, won't completely tighten for rotation due to using cheap metals, but this is a minor thing and is acceptable in the home environment. It would NOT hold up for commercial use. The mic quality is really quite good for voice. I've tested the output using Audacity and looked at the spectrum closely, and it is the best mic I have used for this purpose.I had a problem that I would call "low output" and I thought that maybe the mfg would have a driver update to fix this. I found a software product on Sourceforge called "Equalizer APO" that fully fixes this problem, and I think it is a Windows problem more than a Maono problem. But after boosting the audio (+20 dB is what it took) I would call the resulting audio "tremendous" instead of "very very good".I'm completely happy with this mic and would highly recommend it to any of my friends for this kind of use.
