    Pyle Desktop Gooseneck Wired Microphone System - Table Mounted Corded Voice Condenser Mic with Pop Filter - XLR to 1/4'' Sound Cord - for Karaoke, Conference, Studio Audio Recording - Pyle Pro PDMIKC5

    • But I have used this mic over 10 hours now and the battery is still going strong, so I am hoping that this continues for a while, cause 9 volt batteries aren't cheap
    • The good: Excellent quality, nice, long cord, on and off switch, two on/off indicator lightsThe bad: Lights get stuck on even when the mic is off, mic stops working after only a month, drains battery extremely fast.
    • mic will burn your battery really fast
    • mic will burn your battery really fast
    • It drains the battery more, and is maybe a sign of it going to break soon and stop working completely
    • Update to my original post below: As another reviewer stated: it performed well initially but within a few months the mic on/off switch became stuck in the on position and the indicator light stopped working, which drains drains the battery constantly and quickly
    • Light stays on 24/7 and drains battery
    • and it just drains the battery until dead.
    • They also drain 9V batteries very quickly, so it's costing a small fortune to use them weekly!
    • The foam mic cover cannot be pulled down over this LED.Pros: + 9V phantom power works on all podium mics tried + base actually works with other podium mics! + nice positive action on mic pre-amp button + good quality speech audio from pre-amp/mic combinationCons: - red LED just under mic tip can be a distraction in some uses - does not accept phantom power presented to XLR connector - because of above, must constantly check the battery - the base failed very soon after the warranty expired
    • When it worked the sound was excellent, but it died on me about a month ago, attempted changing the battery, no luck, it won't even power on anymore.
    • The only downside is that it runs on a 9-volt battery and drains the battery very quickly which is a pain and expensive to keep replacing.
