Review: Great vocal quality - The AKG C520 has a 2.5 m (approx.) cable and connects directly to the XLR input of a mixing desk, amp etc. It's great for situations where you require good separation between the vocalist and the background, such as a keyboard player etc. It has a surprisingly good vocal quality and is a very useful addition to any home studio or live performance gear.
Review: Insoportablemente incómodo, y no vale la pena - Una desventaja es que el cable es delgado y me parece frágil. No se puede desconectar para reemplazar. Con un cable tan delgado, me perece inevitable que se quebrara y por el precio es una lastima que no hay manera simple de reemplazarlo. Lo que lo hace terrible, sin embargo, es lo incómodo es el soporte. Aun después de ajustarlo por una hora, simplemente no podía soportarlo. Aprieta la cabeza demasiado, y el plástico alrededor del alambre metal es incómodo. El cuello del micrófono es demasiado corto, tanto que si quiero el micrófono en frente de mi boca, lo necesitara tragar, aun después de ajustarlo. Al hablar de ajustarlo, es muy difícil. Cambiar el lado del micrófono o ajustar las ganchos de oído me hizo sudar. Pensé que lo quebrara por la fuerza necesaria mover las piezas del soporte o quitar el micrófono. Quizá con otro soporte sería buen producto, pero ni siquiera podía evaluar como funciona por como se siente tenerlo puesto. Por el precio, esperaría que fuera más cómodo.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, no complaints so far.
*by A***N on 26 December 2019*

I wanted a headset mic to wear while playing ukulele. I'm not a good enough player to be able to play without looking at the neck at least sometimes, and I also have to look at music, plus still engage with the audience. So I need to be able to move my head around while singing and still be heard on the mic. This thing does the job just fine. I was hoping it would be ok, because I really didn't want to spend a ton of money, but I wanted quality, and the reviews seemed to be decent. The one review of it being uncomfortable to wear, I honestly don't know what's up with that because it's adjustable. Maybe that person has a large head? I do have a very small head, so maybe that has something to do with it, idk. But I have tried it out and adjusted it to my liking and I don't see how it would be uncomfortable even after a long wear, but I haven't put it to that test yet. I've worn it for maybe 30 - 45 minutes while I was first just checking it out upon receipt. As far as sound quality, I have nothing to complain about. I'm just using it with a little Roland AC-90 amp. I was experiencing some plosives so I played with moving the mic farther from my mouth. I ended up having to move it a considerable distance from my mouth, which I would have thought would then affect the sound quality and/or volume, but it really doesn't at all, which is nice. Because I had a concern with wearing a headset mic that I won't be able to move away from the mic when belting out higher notes like you can with handheld, but with it moved away from my mouth not only does it eliminate the plosives but I don't blast out anyone's ear drums when I belt, yet I can still be heard just fine when I sing quietly. I think part of that is the amp, though, too - I do love my Roland amp. So I haven't actually performed with it yet, only tested it out for a bit at home. The only thing I can say is that it would probably be nice to go wireless, instead of having the wire to deal with, but it's not so bad, and I think I'd still rather deal with that than risk battery or signal issues in the middle of a performance.
