Better than I expected but...
I bought this mic with the intention to use it on a kick.
To start with, build quality of this mic, I would say, is phenomenal considering the price. I was really surprised when I first picked it up, as it feels robust and hefty.
Now, considering its recording capabilities, it definitely delivered when placed in front of the kick. It can manage really well on high pressure levels and the sound it produces is solid and detailed enough.
My only issue with this mic is its freq range (20-10k), unlike the akg d112 (20-17k), and I can say that lacking these 10k and above is an obvious loss for my ears. But then again buying this mic was a conscious choice, as I knew that in advance.
Pros:
+ build quality
+ sounds great and definitely delivers
+ pouch and mount ring included
Cons:
- Frequency range is a bit narrowed, missing all the crispy highs compared to AKG D 112 and similar mics.
Can definitely recommend this mic, as I find it a good choice for recording kick if you are looking for a full and warm sound.

Surprisingly good
I purchased this as a quick replacement for kick drum mic and it went on a big tour. I like the sound I got, but it took some experimenting. The response (tonality) with positioning was quite different from what I expected, but once I found the sweet spot I was happy.
No disappointment here. It held up really well for a year now and stays in my Mic case.

Good tailored response for kick drum at a good price.
I had the cheaper T Bone mic fail on me so needed a replacement. I fancied getting a D112 again but whilst the MkII appears to have attempted to fix its one flaw (tricky to get through a hole in the front skin) it didn't look to have been entirely successful. The EV caught my eye, and since I've been impressed with EV mics I've had in the past, I decided to go with this. It's as well built as the previous EV mics I've owned, and I like the low end resonance. All at a mid level price.

b
worth the price
For the price of this mic, cant really beat it. Works well as a budget kick out and a bass cab mic, build is pretty great for the price and comes with a pouch and clip. Overall a great budget option that also sounds pretty good
