I am a professional voiceover artist with 15+ years experience. Until recently, I have done the majority of my work in radio station production studios. However, I just built a recording booth in my home and needed to equip it for VO. I cannot even begin to explain the amount of research I put into this purchase. After all, a good microphone is crucial to my success. Now, would I love a Sennheiser 416 or a Neumann? Of course. Do I have $1000 + to spend on one? No. So, after doing the homework, I decided that the AT 4040 was a good middle-of-the-road option. I definitely made the right choice. Paired with a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 this mic sounds incredible. It is perfectly crisp and clear for voiceover. It is sensitive enough to capture the texture in my voice but not so sensitive it picks up my next door neighbor's sneeze. I highly recommend this mic to anyone in the market for a broadcast-quality voiceover mic that won't break the bank.

The star of this bundle is the AT2020USB microphone, and it does not fail to impress. At first I was worried about it being too sensitive, but when set up in even a reasonably appropriate space (I recorded an audition in a walk-in closet), it's perfect. The dynamic range is incredible, and I love that it can be used as a USB "soundcard" for overdubbing / playthrough without any noticeable latency. The volume slider to mix between your recording and the PC output is especially a nice touch.As for the included items: The pop-shield is a well-appreciated addition, and really elevates the quality of the recording. It's a little stiff and hard to get in place but not enough to put me off. The cable ties and microfiber cloth are basically gimmes with little added value, but convenient trinkets.I'm taking one star off the whole package because the headphones are possibly some of the worst I've ever used and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless you have absolutely nothing else. Even with significant equalization work I was never able to get a decent sound out of them, plus they're uncomfortable to boot. A $20 pair of Sony headphones from a department store gift rack sounds better.

VERY nice sounding mic, although I have to admit that I'm not a professional Voice Over artist, so I'll speak more about the expectations I had and the apparent build quality. After doing a lot of research over the period of a month or so, I chose the AT-2035 because of the price vs reviews and anticipated quality for what I really need as an aspiring VO artist/hobbyist.Some of the other reviewers had problems with the shock mount on this, so I was expecting a very tight and difficult fit. In fact, it fits like a glove - and not the one OJ Simpson tried on either - but a proper, nice fitting glove. This mic is hefty and feels and looks solidly built. The case fits the mic nice and snug but not too tight (as some other reviewers complained). The pop filter is a nice size and quality as well as the long and heavy cable. I'm very impressed with this setup and the price and would highly recommend it.

This is an excellent value bundle. Everything was packaged and shipped intact and with care. The headphones that came with my package were not the Samson headphones shown in the picture, but Resident Audio R100 headphones. I really like them, so no complaints from me. The pop filter is also just fine. Now--this microphone: WOW! I got this for recording vocals and acoustic instruments. The quality on this is unbelievable for the price point. The slightly warm tone it adds is so complimentary to any voice, and the live vocal mixing feature on this is a complete game changer. Especially with a pop filter, the mic catches no white noise and really just creates a smooth and crisp recording. I've tried two Blue mics before (the Snowball and the Bluebird), and found both to be pretty noisy. This beats Blue by a long shot. The only thing I would say is that the mini tripod stand is close to useless, but what can ya do. Everything else about this bundle is well worth the price and I would recommend it to anyone!

I didn't do much with the mic (so this review is not for the mic itself, which is supposed to be good) because when this came through the seller had smashed everything together in a plastic bag that was too small for it all and he damaged the pop filter and poked holes in the microphone box. It all looked like a return, and yes, he actually shoved that entire pop filter into the bag you see in my photo. The nylon had pulls in two places and the frame was warped. I had to peel the bag off the box to get it out. When I finally got out the microphone, I discovered the pop filter didn't even fit the microphone stand so there was no way I could attach it. Utter rubbish. Skip the third-party seller package and just buy the microphone and a separate pop filter.

I'm not in love with this mic yet but still assessing. For the money it does give some options. It's close mic proximity is a plus as initially I wanted to deal with a noisy environment. It does at least for me require more preamp gain than I would like but that may be inherit in this model of dynamic as well as the way I have used so far which is going through a mixer feeding analog in to my computer. I have used it plugged straight in via USB and it's signal is hotter and sound is cleaner which makes sense. This is not my primary mic. I do think it will make a usable secondary but as said still assessing.
