OVERALL OPINION

I have a pair for 3 years ... It has not budged. Instead, I rediscovered her in making its decision (because the new stuff as and when ...)

And I was pleasantly surprised during my last miking acoustic guitar (rhythm) in XY stereo miking.
It sounds airy, very rich (a little runny in the lower midrange). Really nice! Let's say I found the sound of this guitar when I passed from the control room of the recording. This guitar fits well with other instruments at the flat.

I sometimes blame them for being a little "hard" tiring to listen to some decision and sometimes a bit aggressive in the upper midrange (eg cymbals). Not that I would put microphones in overhead for a battery jazz. But for rock it works well!
Views defining and precision, it is clearly better, but it's more expensive of course. It is obviously not in the high-end ...

on the other hand, they are more sensitive to wind than other microphones in the same style (to avoid outdoor)

So still a very good value for money. It is located in the entry-level ... quite correct Do not dream to get the sound of your dreams.
