I recently added the t.bone MB75 Beta to my iRig/Android tablet portable recording setup, mainly for vocals and spoken word. Compared to my several Rode M1s, it's surprisingly competitive, especially considering it's about half the price. It's proved to be sturdy and reliable, handling transport without any issues.
Sound quality is where the MB75 Beta surprised me the most. It's clear and balanced, making it tough to distinguish from the more expensive M1s. Its slim design hasn't just been great for portability; it's also made it a breeze to use with different setups.
One downside is it doesn't come with a pop filter, but that was easily fixed with a separate purchase from t.bone, and honestly, it might not even be necessary for everyone. Given its performance and price point, I'm thinking of picking up another. It's that good and definitely great value for anyone looking to save without sacrificing quality.
