Audio-Technica AT2035PK Vocal Microphone Pack for Streaming/Podcasting, Includes XLR Mic, Adjustable Boom Arm, Shock Mount, & Monitor Headphones, Black

Most reviews I see on Amazon are for products that have only recently been received by the buyer, but my review is based on four years of use. The AT-2035 microphone, cord, boom arm, and shock mount have held up incredibly well over the years. It has survived weekly use, two full house moves, and curious toddlers who have knocked it down more times than I can count. It has proven to be extremely durable and performs four years later just as well as the day I bought it. The instructions for setup are easy to follow and online support from Audio-Technica has been more than enough to assist me in all of my needs. I've used it for live audio during Zoom calls, recording voiceovers for work projects, and personal projects. The audio is always crisp and clear and there have been no integration issues with the half-dozen different recording programs I've used over the years. If you are a first-time XLR microphone user, you will need to purchase a USB audio interface if recording to a PC or Mac. The Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface has been an excellent partner to the AT-2035 and I would highly recommend purchasing the two together. This has proven to be an excellent microphone for me as a beginner and has grown with my needs and skill level. If you want a purchase that will hold up over time, I can't recommend this one enough.

I am impressed with this bundle. With a proper preamp, vocal recordings with the AT2035 are crisp, quiet, and clean, especially with the built-in low cut switch enabled. It’s nice that it comes with a boom arm as well: this piece required a slight tightening of a bolt and is now mounted to the side of my desk, holding the mic safety and firmly while allowing good range of motion. The shock mount is also an excellent addition for sonic isolation. Setup was remarkably easy. The headphones are also very good for this price point, preserving high fidelity audio, muffling background noise and sitting extremely comfortably on my head.

I'm a gamer who is really tired of shelling out significant quantities of money for lights and a wireless setup that requires constant charging, issues with connectivity, subpar audio for both input and output, and to boot, doesn't have a long life cycle. I just got weary of it. This pack was slightly more than a "good gaming headset" that might last a year. So far, the audio is wonderful. I've paired it with a simple, easy mixing board from Phenyx (the PTX-100) - very much a beginner's setup. I like my voice, I practice with my voice, I like to actually have my real voice and not the muffled version of it cutting in and out, when I game. The headphones are fine. Nothing crazy, but definitely usable. Love the shock mount, paired that with a simple pop filter, looks classy. The boom arm is hot garbage. I kinda thought it would be, but the final connection, prior to the 3/8" connector cannot be controlled. It swings very loose, there is no knob, just three screws/bolts. A pair of pliers could probably be used, but using pliers when you need to reposition each time is nuts. I know it had to be a less expensive arm for this to not cost Audio-Technica to provide. The mic on its own is superb. And the shock mount is great. Headphones eh. I still give a 5/5 for value.

I am using 4 of these mics for a podcast. The audio quality is excellent. The build quality of the mic is solid. No issues so far and I don't expect there to be any given how well they are constructed. The booms are simple but work well. The booms are not smooth when moving them on the fly but that is a very minor complaint. There are much higher quality booms out there for that sort of thing. The headphones are ok. That is to be expected for cheap studio headphones. I really wouldn't care if someone broke these, but the do the job well enough. If you want quality headphones, go get that separately. Comes with zip up mic bag for storage, xlr cord, boom, at2035 microphone, headphones and a sticker!

I'd recommend just going for the usb version. Its a lot more simple to use and the mic quality isn't much different than the XLR with the use of proper filters. The mic stand is sturdy and a bit noisy when adjusting but overall great.

UPDATED: lowered from 4 stars to 3 for the overall package. I was mostly interested in the AT2035 microphone, but because the package's price at the time was unusually low (about the same as the price of the mic alone) I went for it. The main problem is that the joint in the boom arm where the mic and shock mount attach is not strong enough for the weight of the mic, and the pivoting arm droops under the weight of the mic. The arm itself does not droop and seems pretty stable, but the rod that the shock mount screws into should have a tightening knob (the same way that boom's center joint has a knob.) In just a few days use, the drooping has gotten worse. I need to jam a clothes pin or nail clipper into the mechanism to get it to be stable. Overall the adjustable boom is poorly designed. It works, but will require unnecessary compromises when making adjustments. Having the long xlr cable threaded through the arm is a very nice touch. Too bad the arm itself is flawed. The headphones sound very good. The cable doesn't coil, both a pro and and con, depending. The headphone cable has an attached 3.5mm plug and includes a 1/4" adaptor. The mic is the AT2035. That's the main thing. If you don't really need the rest of what's in the package, don't bother. You can definitely do better as far as a boom and stand go.

Works perfectly, vocals are accurately represented. The nuts at mic end needed to be tightened, but no tool provided. It is still a good purchase for podcasting.

Boom arm where mic is has to be really tightened, but it still moves the mic down. Fixed solution is have the mic upside down like in the pics and videos.

Lo recomiendo bastante, tanto para la captura de voces como otros instrumentos como batería y guitarra acústica que es donde lo he usado. La calidad que da es bastante buena para la categoría en la que está; utilizo dos Interfases y en ambas me da buenos resultados; los audífonos con los que venía el paquete me vinieron como anillo al dedo. El brazo tiene maña para utilizarse pero fuera de eso no me ha dado problemas, he tenido sesiones de grabación donde lo utilizo más de cinco o seis horas y en ningún momento me causo inconveniente.

I use it for recording audiobook. It is so good.ŵ

This is working very well with MacStudio M2 and Berhinger Uphoria UMC22. So far this is only the set which is working and I tried few. The mic is giving great noise and the headphones are great too. Only the arm is hard to find where to fit as the desk barely has edges. It will be great if there something heavy to place on the desk and fix the arm for it instead of the desk edges.

The microphone itself does not raise questions - good quality for a reasonable price. But the headphones are very mediocre. And the mic mount just won't hold the mic! And after 2 weeks of use, it completely fell apart !!! I highly not recommend this set! Buy all accessories separately!

I use this mic alongside with my UA Volt 276 and sounds fantastic for singing and talking to friends.
