This is my second mic and I must say it is absolutely amazing! The sound is crisp and clear, true to what you want to deliver. The build seems strong, has a good grip, and beautiful aesthetics. Loving it so far!

No coloring of tone here. A solid feeling mic that makes the sound source sound just like the sound source sounds. If you're expecting something to add a hi end sparkle, look elsewhere. I'd compare this to the AKG C5 but with greater fullness of tone.

I purchased my OC707 locally, so this is no criticism of Sweetwater. In initial testing I noticed that this microphone is extremely sensitive to plosives. This was an issue during live performance, too, and I had to modify my technique to try to control it. I have other condenser stage mics, such as the Audio Technical AE5400 and the Audix VX5 that do not suffer this problem at all. I also noticed that if I touched the lower basket, the microphone would hum. This problem persisted regardless of the XLR cable or the mixing desk I used. I decided that I could avoid touching the grill for the time being and took it to a show. During the show, on several occasions the microphone made a loud thunderous noise. Needless to say, I had to swap out the microphone to complete the show. I don't believe this was caused by condensation, as it was a warm night indoors.

After experiencing the technical issues with the microphone, I returned it to the authorized dealer for repair. Six weeks later, I was still waiting for repair. Eventually, the dealer said that they could not tell me when the mic might be repaired and offered me a refund, which I accepted. I was happy with a refund, as The sound signature of this mic doesn't quite have the air I want from a condenser Its main presence peak is centred at around 4K, which I'm sure suits some vocalists, but didn't really work for my voice or offer the sound I wanted.

I will say that I really like the design of the microphone, but for me, that was really the only thing I liked.

The OC707 is at least as good as condenser mics costing much more. Male vocals/rock band- spent a good deal of time experimenting (EQ-ing, RTA, different mics, different voices) with some high-end condenser mics with the guys in the band. The OC707 is my choice because it's very clear and very well balanced...cuts through the mix well in a 6 piece band with 5 other vocal mics. It has a fairly tight pickup pattern, which suits my close-up mic technique and also does a great job of eliminating feedback from all the other mics/instruments on stage. Looks good too...seems rugged (pretty heavy) and well built. I'm surprised these mics aren't more common given the good performance for the money they offer.
