  I use it for recording vocals, acoustic/classical guitar and in this area it is crystal clear, while the pop filter satisfactorily suppresses the "sss" of the voice. I removed one star due to its high price and also because Rode forces you to buy an XLR cable which I personally do not need (but I paid for it).

  Excellent microphone. Solid construction with many features:
  * HPF flat, 40 Hz, 80 Hz selection,
  * Attenuator 0 - 5 - 10 dB, if you want to record in a noisy environment, and
  * with a selection of diagrams that is quite good - I use it.
  Used for voice recordings in a noisy and non-isolated environment (home). I used the ATTN -10bB option, but I did the basic processing on my digital console, isolating the external noise there.
  Quite satisfied with the sound it produces.
  Completely noiseless microphone (I have had it for 1 month). I can say that in the headphones I could hear (when amplifying) the noise from the console or from the sound card I was using (Focusrite Scarlett solo 3rd Gen).
  One particular "issue" it has is that it is very heavy (together with the shock mount, its weight reaches about 1.5 kg). This means that you will need to pay attention to the support base you will use.
  Good quality/price ratio. For the time I bought it (12/2020), the decent microphones on the market were more expensive and did not have as many features.
  If you don't have high demands, a good solution might be the NT1-A without the HPF, ATTN, and diagram selection. It is also about 100 euros cheaper and much lighter.
  The frequency response is "almost" the same (unless you plan to use it professionally, in which case search for the diagrams on the internet or buy something more expensive).
  + The company provides a 10-year warranty.
  + It comes with the shock mount.
  - I imagine there is an issue if you have to constantly store it because the company does not provide a case with the purchase, only a fabric cover.
  +/- It has a very long XLRm/XLRf cable (6m) for those of you whose console will be at home and you will be recording in the neighbor's place.
  Looks good for now.
  Good recordings...

  This all in one package is a very good value for money at €225 that I bought. Plus, it comes with a 10-year warranty when registered on the Rode website.
  The microphone has a good and balanced frequency response, but it tends to enhance the higher frequencies a bit. This can be good or bad depending on its use, voice, and individual skills.
  Attention, the weight of the microphone is considerable. If you add a shock mount and pop filter inside...
  For desktop use with an arm, the arm must be able to support 1.5 kg.
