  For the money, it's incredible. The case and the accessories that come with it are very satisfactory and, combined with a Behringer sound card of the same brand, they work perfectly fine. I mainly use Audacity and, in general, there are no issues. The only negatives I would say are that it doesn't come with any cables and that you need a sound card with Phantom Power for it to work properly. And because my friend experienced it, activate the Phantom Power FROM YOUR SOUND CARD, 9/10 of them have a switch at the back to turn it on, otherwise it won't be powered enough and you'll hear it very low or not at all.

  I heard good things and made the mistake of buying it. First of all, I have to say that it came in a very nice packaging inside a small suitcase, the microphone is all metal and heavy, it has satisfactory sound for its price and will cover most of the population, but not professionals. However, after 5 months of use, it presented a problem, a sound like crackling or static noise. At first, I thought it was the audio interface's fault, I got another one but the problem remained... I even changed the cables but nothing works and I am really disappointed. I used it for recordings and Discord, but with so much noise, it is really useless.
  If I were you, I would save a little more money and go for something more quality and reliable.
  I hope I helped.

  Very good build quality, sturdy, very good sound, clear. I have had it for four years now and I have it on Phantom Power 24/7 and it works flawlessly. The only negative thing I have to say is not exactly a problem. Just in a small area in the front, because I clean it often, the color has peeled off a bit. Other than that, I am completely satisfied, it is the best value for money in its category, I believe

  The Behringer claims to be a condenser mic, but it is not. It does not have a diaphragm like true condensers. I want to warn anyone looking for a real condenser mic that this one is NOT

  FOR THE MONEY (30 euros) THERE IS NO BETTER!

  First of all, let's start with the fact that you don't need any sound cards or mixers or anything. Just plug it into your computer in a USB port. The quality it produces is unbelievable for something that costs 30 euros and connects via USB. Usually, with these features, you get much worse sound.

  -CAUTION-

  The microphone is condenser, which means it picks up background noise unless you are very close to it. It's one of those microphones that you have to stick to your mouth. So if you are far away from it, the background noise will be heard. You shouldn't swallow it either, but a distance of 15-20 centimeters is good.

  For even better sound, with a program on your computer like Audacity for beginners, or Adobe Audition for advanced users, you can watch a tutorial on YouTube and make it sound like a 1000 euro microphone.

  And for streaming, it's perfect, just again, watch a tutorial to add filters and enhance the sound.

  In a few words:
  BUY IT WHILE YOU CAN :)

  I really have no words for how much value for money Behringer products offer....and this microphone is no exception. Quality construction with a plastic storage case, beautiful, and most importantly, a very good microphone for recording vocals or musical instruments. Ideal, I would say, for people like me who are trying to "build" a homemade recording studio on their couch as economically as possible. I highly recommend it.
  P.S: It requires Phantom power to operate. At first, when I connected it to my external sound card, I got scared because it was dead. But as soon as I turned on the Phantom power setting, the microphone came to life. ;)

  Very good microphone but I do not recommend it under any circumstances. It has a lot of noise, in fact. If you can cover it with a vinyl sound in case you are producing music, then take it, but generally it has a lot of noise and maybe I will sell mine to get a better one, I don't know, I will see, but generally it has a lot of noise, guys...

  With an external sound card, it is perfect for recordings. It has a clear sound. For its price, it is very good. It comes with its connector that fits into the base, which is not included. (It is a condenser, so it requires a console with phantom power).

  2. In my opinion, the C1 is worth more than the C1U because it can be used with a console or sound card. It doesn't limit you. I would recommend the C1U for those who do streaming and don't want to spend extra money on a console.

  Update 18/04/2020

  After so many years of use, it still stands.
  Regarding the noise:
  If you have a satisfactory external sound card, the noise is minimal. Unless you are a producer who wants absolute silence, obviously you won't go for the 35€ microphone. However, once after so many years when it presented noise, I grounded it with my hand and foot on the ground and the noise stopped. I can comfortably make recordings without any noise. If you have the volume at high levels, yes, obviously you will have noise in most microphones.
  Anyway, I recommend it, it's value for money.

  I bought it as a backup for a radio station that I manage and it outperforms the "professional" condenser microphones that cost 150€ each.

  I bought it a month ago and I'm really impressed. I replaced a Shure dynamic with this one in my home studio and I couldn't believe my ears. I highly recommend it.
