MXL 770 Multipurpose Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Black)

I've got a number of great mics in my studio, but I was looking for something more flattering to my voice. I did a lot of listening on youtube, and studied specs, response curves, etc. It looked like the 770 would do the job, at a very affordable price, so I bought it. I'm very pleased with the mic. It sounds better on my voice than the far more expensive AT4050, SM7b, and RE320. Those are great mics, and the MXL won't replace them, but for this application it's the clear winner. (I'm using it without engaging the high-pass filter or -10 db pad, but those could be useful features for some applications.) The sound quality is silky, without being mushy. Sonic detail is good. That 10K bump is a bit much, but I'm using a foam windscreen to reduce plosive noise, and that tames the highs quite well. At this price, I didn't expect the build quality to be as good as the more expensive mics, and it it's not: the materials are lighter weight; the grille is not nearly as dent-resistant. But it's still well made, and the assembly is flawless. The shock mount is decent, and the carrying case is sturdy, and a nice plus. A studio engineer once told me that every mic is the best mic for something. In this case the 770 is the best mic I've tried for recording my vocals.
