Super for starters
We just started a podcast and needed extra microphones, we don’t have a big budget so we ended up with the superlux E205 because we wanted XLR mics for better sounds. Well I’m very pleased with those mics and they give an awesome sound, I was missing a mic stand like the small tripod on the usb edition that I have for work zoom calls so we had to buy an arm as well. But overal a great mic with good sound quality. Easy to use with GarageBand

Good alternative for the money
I use this microphone for some general usage at my desk in my recording studio, including streaming and voiceover.
In general, this microphone does stand up to its comparison to the AT2020. In the years that have passed, this microphone has managed to pack that punch into a sub 50 euro package.
In sound specific terms, the microphone is mostly faithful in representing a voice. It's not a perfect reproduction, but it does not hugely deform your voice beyond comparison.
It does a good job at picking up the wide dynamic range of sounds that a room with reverb would produce.
The microphone's internal Phantom amplifier is of decent quality, requiring less than 12'o clock on my UMC204HD to get to full scale gain. At that point, I cannot detect a noise floor issue with the mic, and solely pick up the background noise in my room.
If you're to some extent fine with tweaking small parameters and have the capability to, this is a very viable and capable choice to consider.

For the price, this thing is amazing
For €38,- you get a low noise, high output microphone that can hold it's own against mikes costing 10x that much. I couldn't believe it. It's not going to replace my Shure KSM 42, but for some things, it might be better.

Looking at the price, you really get a great quality product. The standard mount is quite plastic though, but the shock mount you can buy fixes that issue. A really cheap quality microphone for just regular use if you prefer having a separate microphone instead. Clear enough sound, might not really use it for vocals, but it's good for starter artists for instrumentals, like acoustic guitar and so on

OK budget mic
I can compare it only to Focusrite one.Superlux sounds a bit of flatter, but still OK for its price

Good for beginner
It's been two years now that I own this microphone. I used it to begin recording vocals, and instruments like an electric guitar.
The sound isn't excessively great but it does perfectly the job for beginners that really want something cheap to start with (this microphone survived more than half a dozen moving out from France to Sweden etc, it's quite robust thrust me).
