I got this mic as a lead vocal mic for singing, broadcast, voice over and live recording.
The low-cut and pad are good features especially if recording amplifiers. Sounds good on electric guitar amps as I like to place about 1 meter away from a small amp. Hits a tube pre-amp really well to give it some warmth and shape. Compared to my Rode NT1 pretty well, I've given A/B samples to clients and producers who can't hear the difference.

As someone who has worked with high-end studio mics from Neumann, AKG, etc. this is an entry level home project studio or for professional studio and broadcast recording this is a very good mic that compares to mics 10 times the price. Also good for live vocals with the pad. Great sounds for Acoustic Guitar, Cello, Drum Overheads where the Pad comes in handy.

At this price considering it ships with a solid lockable Thomann hard case, shock mount, pop-filter and XLR cable, I wish I'd got a pair as they would be very useful for stereo applications.

Conclusion: excellent quality product, nice weight to it, a head and shoulders above other sub $100 microphones, don't be put off by chinese manufacturing ! these guys know their engineering and quality control.

The "Trusty T-Bone", as it's become affectionately know, is built like a tank and has delivered for me in all kinds of scenarios. Yes, it's great for vocals but, over the years I've also had really nice results with acoustic guitars.
It's been used as an overhead/room drum mic and I even did a session where we tracked it behind open backed guitar cabs for the low end (placed aprox 20inches back). It's great, it's still going strong nearly a decade later and you should definitely buy one!

I found this mic to be fantastic and performs a lot better than the price would suggest. Its frequency response is well balanced and the low cut switch is useful for adding clarity to muddy signals, in particular singers with low voices. I have recorded both vocals and acoustic guitar with this as the primary mic and used it as a room mic for electric guitar and drums and achieved good results in all cases but this mic is best suited to vocals in my opinion. The pad switch is useful for recording loud sources and reduces the output smoothly without affecting the tone to any significant degree. As with all condenser mics it is important to remember that the tone is also dependent on the preamp used, in my case I was using a Presonus preamp for all recordings.

The case is well constructed and the shock mount works well although I found that the threads began to wear out a lot sooner than I expected.
