- “it just has really nice noise rejection so if you're using this in a live environment or a noisy environment it should perform well there”

- “which makes it perfect for live performances because it's not capturing all of this extra sound this background noise of other musicians other players is only going to capture your voice”

- “it's still capturing all the juiciness of the voice without hearing too much air going through to the microphone it kind of clears that out with the windscreen”
