Is a clip. Has a spring in it.
It's a great clip. I cannot believe that it was shipped in such a gigantic box filled with over 600 cubic inches of packing peanuts. That's just crazy.
Pros: It's a clip that holds skinny microphones that standard clips will not.
Cons: Nothing about the clip, but Crutchfield's shipping department needs to cool it on the oversized packages.
Crutchfield response on 3/14/2016 Environmental concerns are always on our mind at Crutchfield. The packing peanuts we use are 100% biodegradable! Drop one in a bowl of water and watch it dissolve. They're made up primarily of corn starch, and we make them in our warehouse in big batches, as needed. It's a process we invested in years ago to help protect the environment. Currently, we're exploring ways to make our shipping boxes smaller so that we can better fit shipments of any size, but especially small orders like this.
