The design, ease of use, linking, price, and capabilities of these mics is a dream come true. Unfortunately they sound terrible.

What I use it for: I don't use them.

One downside / caveat: I have spent hours testing and experimenting with these to get some voice quality I would accept and I have to use audio software to get them to sound a way I still don't like. I regret the purchase.

Great microphone. It's the budget version of the Shure mic you see every podcast using. I think it is almost identical in sound beside the higher priced SM7B has more of a bass tone.

What I use it for: Recording and streaming.

One downside / caveat: The software it comes with is several GBs.

These are the headphones I use for everything. Comfortable, simple and great sound quality. Professional studios use them.

What I use it for: Broadcasting, editing, music, anything I want to hear what the listener or viewer will hear.

One downside / caveat: You will need to replace the muff parts after so much use. Then padding starts to lose its fluff. They are around $20 a pair. Using them alot, I have replaced them once per year.

I love this keyboard. It have lcd keys you can turn on or off. The keys are larger than normal. Has all the features you want and isn't a flashing Christmas tree. Its also fairly quiet compared to other keyboards.

What I use it for: It's the keyboard for my desktop computer.

One downside / caveat: You have to relink the USB cord after a power shutdown. (Unplug it and plug it back in)
