OK, I'm not young, but always turn the mic switch off if I leave it un'attended, for sonic reasons and for anti idiot reasons.
That apart, this mic is very, very good in every way a mic should be good.
I used it at my regular weekly gig in town and it really brings all & every 'nice' piece/part of my old voice together.
I have a recent Boss acoustic singer combo (from thomann) which is definitely capable of making the signal from this mic into an impressive sound, love it.
The extra gain from this mic is almost one quarter turn on my mic pre "better" than my best dynamic mic.
Almost zero noise when this mic is hand held, as my lady singer prefers hand held, she also enjoys her voice through this mic too.
As I always use below 80/100z roll off on my eq, this mic suits plenty.
Happy with this mic + manufacturer 15 year guarantee.
