I use it to sing while playing the harp. I chose this over the Shure SM35 mostly because I think the AKG looks better, less invasive. Easy to wear, I love that the mic can go either on the left or right. Great for singing, warm and clear sound. No issues using it on stage with sound technician, however when performing only with your own amp (I have an Acus One for street) for small venues or when busking there are frequent feedback issues and you need to keep gain very low, still trying to figure out how to avoid this. This is due to the nature of the mic (condenser), but most neckbands are! In general I am satisfied and I use it regularly to perform live.
