The microphone generates warm sound with little distortion, similar to other dynamic microphones. The flexible boom arm makes it easy to place the microphone optimally. The output from headphones sounds pleasant, certainly good enough for monitoring and short-term music listening.
Unfortunately, the microphone arm does not pivot, which complicates storage of this rather large headset. Also, the cables used to connect microphone and headphones are close together, meaning that one will need an extention for devices where the XLR and headphone inputs are not in close proximity.
