What to know before buying

The listing calls the microphone dynamic cardioid in its feature text but lists its polar pattern as Unidirectional. Confirm the intended pickup-pattern specification if that distinction matters. Mute, headphone monitoring and volume controls are stated to work only over USB. The listing describes a shock mount as equipped, but its explicit contents list names only a windscreen, so confirm whether a shock mount is included with the selected listing.
