On to some of the features. Obviously portability is key here. The mic will easily travel with you do to it's convenient size. The attached mic stand is extremely versatile. Even more clever is the tripod hook up which will allow you to hook this up to a standard camera tripod. Buy yourself a tiny one and you can take it with you on the road if you prefer to stand...which I do. Or if you wanna hook the mic up to a regular mic stand it also comes with a hook up for that...which works flawlessly. The mic gain adjuster is responsive. The mute button is extremely cool to. One feature that separates the raspberry from both the apogee mic and the irig mic studio is that it has true zero latency headphone monitoring. Great sounding at that. While I hate to admit this...I really can't do my work without monitoring myself in my headphones. Too many years of hearing my own voice, ahhah.
From a physical stand point of course this mic like all blue mics...is beautiful. Such a cool looking mic. They did a good job with the grill/capsule area as well. I can put my mouth about a fist length away talking off axes from the mic and I have no need for a pop filter if I use good mic technique.
As far the devices I tested this on, I used windows 10 and....I used my samsung galaxy S7. It worked flawlessly on both. So although this mic does not advertise as being android friendly it worked great for me with a simple otg cable connector. Though I've heard it won't work on all androids.
Perhaps my one complaint is that if you really turn up the gain you're gonna start to hear some mic noise. But at reasonable gain levels it's very quiet. Also as far as the claim that this mic helps to cut down on outside noise...I'm not so sure it does that in a major way. Though I did feel like even when recording in poor conditions it wasn't terrible. But certainly you're better off finding a quite/dead space.
But in the end I think this mic is killer bang for the buck. And I would expect to see it come down in price over the years. It really puts high quality portable sound within the reach of many. At $199 bucks the average VO talent can buy this mic, a decent pair of headphones, and an inexpensive audio software...and boom they're in business. And for those VO talent who travel with all their gear when on vacation...try the raspberry. I'd rather not have to lug all my stuff with me wherever I go.
The raspberry sores with flying colors if you're looking for a great sounding portable mic to use on your laptop, iphone, and even android with certain phones. And it's very competitive even to use as your main mic in your home studio. Simply put...this mic rocks!
1) I wish it had a high-pass filter switch/button. The onboard monitoring is very handy for zero-latency recording, especially when laying down vocal ideas, but the mic's low-end is a bit prominent and boxy. Would be nice to roll off those lows for both better monitoring and recording.
2) The knobs are a tiny bit cheap feeling. Especially how hard it is to push the volume button to mute/unmute. They should have splurged for a more solid plastic or metal.
3) There's no shock mount offering from Blue. I guess you could use a Yeti stand or something, but it'd be cool if they made a cute little shock mount for these things. It's such a nice looking little mic, it deserves one.
I'll have to experiment more with proximity to try and tame the low end. I recorded some guitar at the 12th fret, aimed at the sound hole and it sounded nice and clear, if a little boomy and mid-rangy, which I dialed out in Logic. I also haven't tried my Senheisser HD600 headphones to see how well they're powered. I'll give an update soon.

Anche l'oggetto sembra essere di buona fattura, peccato per gli economici (ed inutili) potenziometri a rotella per la regolazione del volume in entrata del mic ed in uscita della cuffia. passi quello della cuffia ma quello per il microfono era meglio non averlo affatto.
I also have an iphone 8 so will use it with that but find it too expensive as it js officially outdated.
