I use them mainly for overhead drums, I could try them also on the voice, taking on outside, and guitars.

OVERALL OPINION

3 years
I made a comparison accurate (overheads, even offering, same room, without touching the settings of the slice, etc..) with two standard references: AKG C451 and Neumann KM184. nivo wholesale prices ac double each time (neumann = 2 times the price akg = 4 times that of Rode). frankly, the NT5 is doing more than well: the C451 is a bit brighter, but with a little eq mm was the thing with the Rode. when the neumann, they are a bit more neutral, but frankly the difference is not obvious finesse. So basically they provide, I have not found better than the NT5 in the same price, if one takes into account the product in its entirety: robustness, quality, versatility, etc.. perfect as a pair of static home studio when trying anyway sthg seriously.
WARNING: not recommended outdoors, there are really too sensitive to the breath / wind. ditto for a vote even with a antipop c limit, better a large diaphragm in mm price.
