for the price you can do worse.
This was the first microphone I bought with the intention of using it for podcasting.
With a little EQ I was able to get a very natural sound with this mic. Any criticisms I would have of the mic would be that the sensitivity is quite low and amplifying the signal afterwards was amplifying unwanted noise. That said, I did many recordings with it after experimenting with distance from the mic which were perfectly acceptable and I even recorded a 45 min CD with the acoustic guitar using only this mic. Sure it didn't sound out of this world, but it was quite acceptable.
Having the built in USB is great, but the mic really comes alive using the XLR out and a decent pre-amp.
For this kind of money, you could do a lot worse.

Hybrid value for money everyday mic for mix use
Perfect mic for first radio or vocal recordings. It can be used as a single unit with the USB and as a member with others with the XLR connected in a mic mixer. I gave 4 instead of 5 because the next generation model (Plus) have also great features together with on-off, headphones mini jack and volume control!

Does the job
Í have little to no knowledge about microphones and recording but bought this to use with my Mac and Garage Band for recording acoustic guitar and vocal takes. It works a treat. I have used it for live performances a few times also as it has a USB port as well as a regular XLR which makes it very versatile.
I am completely satisfied with the t.boine MB88U

Good value Mic
I actually included this Mic in a past order to put the order value up so that I could get free shipping. I was very surprised how good it was and although it will never be a Pro recording option, it is great for recording quick demo's. It is also good for anyone into Podcasting as it has a USB connection.
