Amazing microphone, has a nice warm deep sound, it has more lows by default. I saw Tommy Emmanuel use this mic, and I gave it a try, and yes it's the most natural sounding mic. As he use this mic to hit the mic with a brush while doing percussion stuff, and you won't break it, still going strong, as for us too, 6 years still working great.
Before Heil we were using Shure SM58, and we like this one better. Shure is more quieter mic in comparison with Heil.
Someone here mentioned case is PVC, we got a leather case when we bought it.
So, yes I would recommend this microphone, a great sounding mic all around.
