I would prefer to not have to spend $25 on a 100 pack of nylon set screws in addition to the cost of the bar if possible. The audio output via the mixer was better than with my USB mics such as the Yeti or Samson ones I own. The mic quality is great as well based on what my friends online says. Ill update this review if anything goes haywire down the road, but so far these seem like a keeper. Also, its finally compatible with all phone services in America. There isnt much choice. These are not officially licensed. I?ve replaced them with some more rigid ones I had. I will say first couple time you where it either use a zipper helper lol use your husband my wife helped me put mine on until I could do it myself! the quality of the product and sound is great.
