Fits my Sennheiser MKE 600 perfectly. It’s easy to use and effective. Also ships quickly and comes with replacement bands.I’m a fan.

This little shockmount has completely isolated my mic from reverb off my desk and it looks so much more aesthetically pleasing than anything else I've seen. I just got this mount today and wasn't sure what it would like like or if it would do the job but now I can tell you it's compact, cool looking, neat (not bulky) and does exactly what it is designed to do for a fraction of the price. I am using it with an Audio-Technica AT2005 Dynamic Mic (which I also highly recommend). The mic fits perfectly into the suspension bands and the mount threaded perfectly onto the 5/8 stand that came with the mic. I don't know what the other reviewers were talking about when they comment it needs tweaking. I took it out of the package, screwed onto the stand, inserted the mic and started recording. I couldn't be happier.

does work suspending the mic - just a little awkward getting it through if you were in a rush

First off, I'll say that I bought two of these and after trying them out, ordered four more. So in spite of the problems that I will outline below, I really like these mounts and I think that they are an excellent deal. They need tweaking. But from what I've read in reviews of other, more expensive shock mounts, it seems that this style of shock mount is always going to need tweaking.(1) Very bad threads on the base. They only screw about halfway onto my mic stands and mounts (good-quality mounts made by K&M, AKG, and Atlas) before stopping. There is no visible flaw in the threads. I agree with what another reviewer said: the bases seem to have been manufactured with the wrong thread pitch. I had thought that I might buy a 5/8"-27tpi male thread tap for $21 and use it to clean the threads. But after reading the other reviewer's account of that not working, I decided to do what that reviewer did: just cannibalize the base off another mic clip. That worked fine. (Luckily, the metal screw hardware of the shock mount fit into that other clip. More on that below.) Even if you add in the price of the other mic clip, the total price is still cheap. (And I'm guessing that these shockmounts are only so cheap BECAUSE of the manufacturing defect.)(2) The plastic "tongue" that goes down from the basket into the base is slightly thinner than the tongue on some other mic clips. But there is a raised area around the hole for the screw. This raised area gives the tongue the thickness it needs to span the gap between the arms of the base. That's good. What's bad about this is that the arms of the base only grip the tongue on the raised area. As a result, the screw has to be screwed in tight in order to get enough friction to keep the basket in place. That's no big deal, because the plastic-handled wing nut is easy to adjust for correct pressure. But if you do what I did--cannibalize the base from another mic clip in order to get the proper threads--you will want to be sure and keep the metal screw hardware from this shock mount. You'll want that plastic-handled wing nut. (And considering the variety of masses and lengths of microphones, I think that it is a good idea to have a wing nut on a mic clip.)(3) Some other reviewers have complained about the spacing of the rubber bands, while others have said the spacing is fine. Of course, the variety of mic diameters means that not everybody is going to be happy with the spacing. But I don't know if anybody else has noticed a nifty thing about the baskets on these shockmounts: The rubber bands can be attached in two different orientations to achieve two different spacings. The photo shown to the left of this review shows the rubber bands coming out of the slots in the basket making an angle of 45-degrees with those slots. This orientation gives a rubber band spacing of 1/2". But the rubber bands can also be mounted so that they come out of the slots going the same direction as the slots. This orientation gives a rubber band spacing of 3/4". That's very cool.(4) The mounts come with a total of 6 rubber bands: 4 to be used right away, and 2 spare.(5) I'm guessing that the rubber bands are a fairly standard thickness / stiffness. But I find them to be too stiff. If I thump the mic stand, I can hear the thump in the PA. Not as loud as without the shock mount, but I can still hear a thump. I just swapped out the stock rubber band with a standard tan-colored rubber band from my office supplies. The color doesn't match the basket and the rubber band is twice as long as it needs to be, but that's fine. I found that I can use a single rubber band on each end of the basket, instead of two. (See attached photo.) I've used those rubber bands on home-made shock mounts (of this style), and I get much better isolation. One can feel the increased springiness in the rubber bands. The only trick is making sure that the rubber band is not so loose that the mic is not secure. And since the mic is not held so stiffly in the right direction, you have to be sure that the mic cable does not pull the mic off to the side so that it bumps the basket. But that is not hard to do. On my home-made shock mounts, I have always meant to get more attractive colored rubber bands, and to experiment with different sizes. Maybe I'll do that now that I have these commercial shock mounts.(6) There are two brass-threaded holes on the top of the basket. I'm guessing that these are for attaching a wind muff.Again, I really like theses mounts, especially for the price.Remarks on the photos:One photo shows the stock rubber bands in two different configuration. The configuration on the left (bands oriented 45-degrees to the slots) gives a band spacing of 1/2". The configuration shown on the right (bands in the same direction as the slots) gives a band spacing of 3/4".The other photo shows how a single standard office rubber band can be used in place of the two stock rubber bands. These bands are much more springy and give much better isolation, and they are so cheap that they can be replaced frequently. The only down side is that a springier mounting means that you have to be more careful to keep the mic from bumping into the basket.Both photos show the raised ring around the hole in the tongue. See remarks above.

Much more sturdy than the Rode variant. I accidentally dropped the Rode shock mount from waist height onto a hard floor which broke off one of the band fixing lugs. Looks like this version will withstand this kind of mishap.
