Do I really need a shock mount?

I have one; it came with my scissor arm I believe. They're nice, and if it isn't going to be much more I'd get one.

 

This is what I have I believe. Not 100% sure though. Hell, my shock mount may have come with my AT2035.

You definitely do not need one, but it would be a nice addition if you can afford it.

no.

 

It prevents static pops so your friend's ears don't hurt when you talk.  Basically.

what is it for exactally im not too clear

if you bump your desk it won't be as loud, and the vibrations from your pc etc. wont get into your mic

 

tbh only specific people need them

That's not what a shock mount does.... That's a pop filter.  Having used the AT2020 for over a year, I would recommend a shockmount if you have one.  Any little bump your hands make on the table from typing, mouse movement etc will be reflected in the mic just like how WAN Show had to put a t-shirt under their mic a few weeks ago for a similar problem.

QUOTE ME IN A REPLY SO I CAN SEE THE NOTIFICATION!

When there is no danger of failure there is no pleasure in success.
