I was very disappointed that in the package was not a matching blue shockmount like with my surf green MXL 990. It's still a good mic, but I paid a $25 premium for the custom paint. I would get the black one if I could do it over. The 990 and 770 are both great.

Awesome quality for the price. If you’re looking for home studio set-ups, or are a beginner, definitely consider this mic. Build quality is excellent with a all metal body, it’s easily incorporated into DAWs and it sounds great!

When I purchased this, I was hoping it would replace our current headsets that are used for broadcasts. Just tested it out for a talk show and am thoroughly impressed. Great build quality and audio quality for a very affordable price.

Chris has made something great here... He has modded an entry level mic into a mid-tier microphone and it sounds just perfect. Get one NOW, you will not regret it.

Picked up two of these 770's for use in recording podcasts, as guest mics. Impressive sound quality, and feel nicely constructed. There is a red warning regarding condenser mics and close proximity recording... suggests the purchase and use of pop filter or foam windscreen to keep from damaging ribbon. Time, a good quality pop filter and common sense handling should tell. All in all, pretty nice (and quiet) sounding mic.

Received in Excellent Condition
