This is a quick overview of the PROAR Fangdong microphone. Ridiculous name. But actually an amazing mic for $50.
It's currently on sale on Amazon. Non-affiliate link below:

With the discount it comes to around $50 and I honestly haven't seen an XLR this good at this pricerange. When you compare this microphone to $50 microphones or even $70 microphones there isn't a comparison. This is beating out $100 XLR microphones like the AT 2020, MXL 990, MXL 770, RODE NT1A. And dare I say it, even the AT 2035 and NT1 5th gen. It's a subjective thing but I think this microphone is ridiculous value for the dollar.
