I even dropped it once from my table, not a single scratch. Everything is metal except the control knobs. 2) Good balance sound for beginners, unlike other USB mics at this price range. 3) USB C connection along with a 3.5mm jack to monitor your input that has no static noise problem. 4) Mute indicator along with control knobs. The only con is that it picks up boom arm noise in cardioid/front mode, but when you switch to Bidirectional/front & back mode it completely mutes it, which should have been the opposite. It's a pretty good mic for me. Although I am not a professional, I have seen many voice actor's reviews, and after using it, I'm pretty confident about my statement. You can buy it you won't be disappointed. Review: Great buy for streaming - Great in hand feel, nice to hold in hand.
