    Customers like the sound quality of the microphone. For example, they say the sound separation was good, and the audio is clear with less ambient noise.

    Received Damaged and Without Components
    I've been looking for a stereo microphone to attach to my Sony HDR-CX560V Handycam, and after reading other reviews and watching/listening to reviews, this seemed like the perfect choice. Unfortunately, since the camera has an AIS shoe and the mic has a MIS foot, it couldn't actually be attached, but that wasn't even the biggest problem I had. First of all, the mic itself was actually damaged when it arrived: as you can see in my photos, it almost looks like it was chewed on. Secondly, the cable and wind screen that were supposed to be included were not, so without the cable, I had no way of actually testing the mic to see if it met my expectations (let alone if the damage affected its function). All I wanted to do was exchange it for one that had not been damaged (and actually came with the other components it was supposed to come with), but Amazon would not give me that option: either I had to exchange it for an entirely different product (which may or may not have suited my needs), or just get a full refund, so I chose the latter. Maybe next time, I'll deal with Sony directly.
