The Icon microphone is a little more temperamental than its sibling the Ethos microphone, and though there are many times I don't want to change the Icon's excellent designed properties, there are many times that this extra filter makes recording easier while still creating an great final product, albeit a slightly different one. It offers another tool for flexibility in difficult recording situations.

This is how it should have come from the factory! While not as stunning, still looks great and sounds even better!

It’s Surefire. Do we really need to question their quality? This piece flawlessly operates my Scout Pro Dual Fuel and DBAL A3. It’s lightweight and does what I need it to with minimal space. Even better was B&H and their techs were able to answer any question especially the number one of if it’s ACTUALLY in stock. I highly suggest Surefire and B&H. Great price on it and next day shipping was $15! Can’t beat it!

I swapped out the Shure SM7B for this because it took too much to drive it (I used a Cloudlifter) and the results were inconsistent and just okay, at best. I had read about this mic being similar in build, but a supercardioid condenser mic instead of dynamic. The sound was warm and clear like a dynamic, and no additional switches to fool around with. Just plug in your XLR cable and get to work. I re-recorded all of the podcast episodes (they're short-form) I originally used the SM7B for (none of which sounded the same), and finally got the pro-grade sound and consistency I wanted! I'm absolutely in love with it - you get what you pay for!

Wanted the OEM version of the windscreen for my Earthworks ICON Pro mic, with the least amount of coloration due to some other windscreens characteristics.
This fit the bill (& mic!) quite nicely, and works like a charm to my radio station.
Would highly recommend this item if you have an Icon Pro mic & need a proper windscreen.
Honestly, I'd love it if the mic came with one, BUT- (& this is a HUGE BUT!) for what you pay & get as far as quality with the Earthworks ICON Pro mic itself, (this ain't a kids toy mic!) if you're playing with the big boys & desire a broadcast microphone with AMAZING specs & sound, then you likely can afford to drop another benny on the proper windscreen. I always maintain, you get what you pay for!

I love my sr314 except for the plosives rejection. This adapter foam windscreen works great. the foam is a bit longer than I expected so I bought the extra form and made it a bit shorter. Now I can alternate between the two of them for the different voices and no plosives!!

TL;DR - This mic is incredible. The sound is super crisp and clear, and even though it's not a dynamic mic, it does a great job of eliminating background noise. Bottom line - buy it if you need a great sounding mic!

Long story - I create YouTube videos about cars and riding our Yamaha WaveRunner personal watercraft. I try to record my voice live to save time while editing, but sometimes I just have to do voices overs at home.

I used to use a video-style mic going into my iPhone, and it sounded okay, but I wanted the sound to be great. After reading and watching lots of YouTube reviews, I knew the Earthworks Ethos was the one.

I purchased a PreSonus Studio 24c and the Ethos and love that I don't need a signal booster to get quality sound...and believe me, the sound is quality - once I figured out how to speak properly.

I have never used a mic that was so sensitive (in a good way), but it picked up the slightest noise I made while talking. Once I figured out how to not make clicks and other noises with my mouth, I absolutely fell in love with this mic. I didn't even realize I was doing until I listed to my first recordings.

I have a very minor EQ setting in the higher frequency that I use, but other than that, I just record my voice into the built in Voice Memo app in the Mac and import it into DaVinci Resolve Studio.

I used to record into Logic Pro, and that audio came out better, but the process is more time consuming. I often make a lot of short voice overs, so the Voice Memo app works good enough. If I needed to record something with the highest quality, I'd do it in Logic Pro.

Overall, I love this mic and really can't say enough about it.

At the new price point, this is one of the best broadcast/vo mics in my arsenal, hands down. Crisp, focused, and more portable than an SM7B (or another new favorite of mine, the BP40), the Ethos is a fantastic mic. Avoid the Icon, hoard the Ethos.
