Pros: 1- plug it in, it's ready to go. User friendly 2- sturdy. Built like a tank 3- attractive when the blue light is glowing 4- very nice performance. For the price you will be 100% satisfied Cons: 1)stand is weak and positioning mic can be awkward 2) I use a pc and the mic is so sensitive that I basically have to turn the input volume down to somewhere between 1 and 2 on the control panel. This was probably the biggest adjustment Durability - 9/10 Value - 10/10 Sound - 8/10 Price paid $120 Highly recommended. I was worried about USB microphone quality. But this mic is fantastic. I also tried the Blue Snowball but didn't really give it a fair shot since the at2020usb was so satisfactory. For the record, the snowball is cool to look at, has a better stand, but feels plastic-y to the touch. By appearance the 2020usb is a more serious microphone but I'll probably give the snowball another shot at some point I use this microphone everyday for recording vocals .

I use the XLR version all the time. If you have a Mic Preamp or Mixing board, the XLR version of the AT2020 is available for even less than the USB version and is of the same quality.

We do not need the best quality recording equipment, but we do need at least demo quality recording. I am seriously considering buying this mic for my guitar. If any one knows if this mic will record an amp at decent quality, can you please drop me a line? Thank you. -Juan I am in a band with guitars, a bass, a drummer, and a singer.

Very good clarity, sensitivity and quality and pretty damn affordable. The AT2020 is an amazing microphone, brilliant for an overhead for drums, for vocals and for basic spoken word/etc.
