I have been recording and engineering for more than 30 years. I own quite a number of excellent microphones ranging from AKG, Rode, Audio Technica and more. I was helping a friend mix a song he recorded on his digital work station and told him how impressed I was by the sound of his vocal tracks. He pulled out the M-Audio Nova and said that was the microphone he had used on all of the vocals. When he told me it was around $100.00 new I had to have one. I have microphones that cost 5 to 6 times more than this mic but honestly this mic ranks right up there with them. Don't think the cheap mic comes with a cheap sound, it is an excellent vocal or acoustic instrument microphone. (Remember it is a condenser and needs to be powered by your mixer, recorder or pre amp)

As Rick says, this is the best under $200 mic going.It is crisp and clear and warm and clean.I like it on acoustic guitar, and placement is not critical.I like it on my voice and it seems to have less quirks than the Oktava 319 and MXL 990, both of which I have.It is very hefty and solid and tracks recorded with it stand out. Vocal prescence is excellent.I am quite happy with this mic.Deal-wise, I was fortunate enough to get a B-stock lightly handled show mic. It came with a cable and case and cost ME less than $60 delivered.Extremely hard to beat at that price. It even came with a cable.This mic is a very good deal at the 99 bones it is advertised at currently.You could easily spend more and get less.
