First use was fun and had me excited for the next use. I prepackaged everything to keep the mic clean and safe. Second use was all disappointment. The main volume knob was lose and wouldn't work. The mute button no longer worked, but after pushing it a few times, it actually turned the volume up. And now, if the main volume is turned down too much, there is no volume whatsoever. I have to unplug the mic, plug back in, and push the mute button for volume. The sound through the mic now sounds as though it's busted, having a light static popping sound when listening to yourself and can be heard in recordings.
