Okay, so this is a microphone stand. Plain and simple. The clips to hold controller are very useful, and the clip actually holds some older video game USB microphones, unlike other mic stands. The stand is made of plastic with mostly plastic connnections, which means that you can't get the adjustable parts as tight as you'd like. The main adjuster requires two hands on the lower part of the stand to tighten adequately, so if you go the wrong way, the mic will slide down and you'll have to reposition. If you want to hold the mic while you sing on the stand, it may slide down even when fully tightened. Also, the screw on the mic clip is loose, so expect to tighten it before you play with a Phillips head screwdriver. The clip is removable, so you could put it on a real mic stand if this one ever breaks. The major design flaw is that the controller clip for Xbox 360 does not let you hook up a plug and play charger to it while it's clipped on. So while I'd have loved to use this time to charge my batteries, I can't.

To sum it up: It's a cheap plastic stand with tightening issues, a great clip design for holding the microphone, and a controller clip that won't let you charge an Xbox 360 controller. If you can live with the above-stated problems, then you should be fine. I am satisfied, considering.

What you see is what you get...and that's all. The spring loaded microphone stand is decent and the microphone clip is very nice. I love the ability to hang your wireless controllers on the stand and even use one of the extra controller clips to hang my guitar (by the strap). I have one major complaint which keeps this product from rating five stars: nobody sells additional controller clips. You receive three clips, one for each major console system (xbox 360, PS3 and wii). If you're like me and only want one microphone stand, but would like to hang all your controllers on it, you're out of luck. I suggest writing your own review and posting your contact information so other buyers can email you and organize a trade. That's what I did and now I have three Xbox clips and just hang my Wii remotes from their cords.

I bought the mic stand so that I could simultaneously sing and play guitar at the same time. It works wonders. The stand has nice controller clips that hold your controller for you so that you want have to pick it up off a table or the floor between songs. Nice adjustable range on it and very sturdy. I definitely recommend it.

I purchased this product last year. I like to play guitar and sing at the same time in Rockband, and it worked excellently for that. The microphone stayed in the clip most of the time, and was rarely removed. The clip only lasted two months. It is a cheap plastic product made up of two plastic pieces and a large spring. Once it breaks it is difficult to find a replacement. Mic holders at your local music store are not compatible with this product because the stand is made of metal tubes that are smaller than regular mic stands. I replaced this product with just a basic mic stand with a rubber slide in/out holder for just $5 more. It is heavy duty and can't break, and has now lasted over 14 months and will last as long as I want to keep it around.

Great Universal Microphone stand that also holds controllers. I will list the cons and pros.

Pros
1.Can be very adjustable to very low to very high
2.Not as cheaply made as I thought it would be
3.Great price
4.Cord organizer
5.Rubber feet
6.Attractive design makes it look like a real stand

Cons
1.Only has one controller clip for a ps3, wii, or xbox 360
2.Cannot purchase additional clips
3.Should have made one for a ps3 that comes with like 3 ps3 clips, or a wii one that comes with 3 wii clips, etc...


Overall I am very happy getting this to go along with my rock band 2. It looks like tons of fun! [....] if you want xbox 360 clip or wii clip. I will trade either one for a ps3 clip. Thanks!

The clip that holds the microphone is not very durable. This was a Christmas present for my 18 year old daughter. Now 2 weeks later and the clip is now broke. Can not be fixed, so now I am left with a pole and no way to hold a microphone.

Just to let you all know, the clips for your controllers are clear, not black like how they are in the picture.

I love this stand! Very simple and super useful for singing and playing guitar at the same time. The clip that holds the mic is great! Easy to adjust the height, just twist at the latch at the middle of the stand and slide the it up or down, then twist it back.

One more note on the controller clips, I have an Xbox 360 and only use that clip, so i can't testify for the Wii or PS3 clips, but if you put the controller all the way in the clip (like how it is in the picture) than I'm always afraid that I'm bending the clip too much and it will break. So far it hasn't but I'm just always careful with it. Plus, it puts the controller at an uncomfortable angle to use it when navigating through the game or adjusting the mic setting. However, if you put it in the clip enough for the battery pack of your controller fits just inside the clip (not all the way) than the controller actually tilts towards you making it more comfortable when navigating through the game.

Overall, I love it! Very fun for those avid Rock Band / Guitar Hero players!

I couldn't have asked for more for the price...

Heavy enough not to wobble. Small footprint. Controller holders (1 for each of 3 console type controllers) if you need 'em. Good quality mic and stand parts. Clip to hold wire on stand near the bottom.

When we set up to play our new band hero game (Wii), my wife had one complaint: because you have to pinch the mic holder to open it and put the mic in, it takes two hands to put in and take out. She says she likes the kind where you can just align the wire and slide it in or whatever... but I like the clip - secure and easy to use (if you're willing to put the extra effort and use two hands!).

I bought this to complement my purchase of Beatles Rock Band - since you will often encounter playing instrument/singing and more than one person at a time!

The great part about the stand is the clip for the controller - since you need that controller close-by for microphone use. Simple, but brilliant.

I bought this so that we can multi-task with Beatles Rock Band. It works great, and I also enjoy the controller holder.
