I think some people are using mics with very low sensitivity or crappy output sources (e.g. cheesy soundcards, amps, receivers or multimedia speakers), or even lousy, improperly shielded mic cables and blaming the unit, but who knows.

This unit is amazing

The noise and feedback I received with this device was horrible - I might have a bad unit

Considering the decent reviews by others, I may just have a defective unit.

I've owner much more expensive PP units and they weren't anywhere near as convenient or as durable as this one is

It works as it says and is thin and I can just keep it connected to my XLR cord and have them hang freely from my mic stand so that it doesn't get moved around, which can damage PP units easily

The unit itself feels really cheap

This unit arrives ready to go right out of the box

The unit is a bit cheap feeling (weight-wise) but don't let that fool you one bit!It's true plug and play too
