Physical set up was fairly easy, and general design with floating mic and shield are nice. The mic picks up all sounds from any direction, so it does not seem to isolate the voice in front of the mic. My computer thinks it is both a mic and a speaker, so I have to change the computer speaker settings or I don't get any sound when using this mic. There are noo off or volume controls are on the mic. All that said, it works well enough for my purposes now that I figured out how to get sound while using it, so I will keep it and see how it goes.
