Every sound engineer should have these in their collection
These mics were recommended to me when I attended a recording workshop. When I saw how cheap they were I was sceptical but decided to buy them anyway. They paid for themselves the first time I used them when making a video that required the mics to be setup out of shot. I can't believe the quality of the sound from such a small mic and to get a matched pair complete with shock mounts, windshields and a stereo bar mount in the kit is astounding. I cannot rate these mcs highly enough.

Multi Use Condenser Mic
Natural sounding condensor mics. Can be used as a condensor mic for dialogue as well given that it records within the range if 20hz - 20khz. Also worth noting is the pad and low pass switch feature on the mics which are useful depending in the situation.

A hiden gem
I was sceptical at first, but decided to buy them. Did not regret though.
I use them as overhead pair for drums but I can predict they'll work fine in other setups as well.
Pros:
- Very affordable
- Includes a stereo rail (which is very useful when using the mics, shock mounts and windscreens)
- Has selectable pads with high pass filter cutoffs
- Designed to be used for overheads for sure
Cons:
- Very, very tight shock mounts (but ok, not much of an issue really)
- Not for recording acoustic instruments as they sound a bit "thinny"
In that particular price range, look no further!

Very very good mics
Have gotten these mics as a pair of overheads for drum recording. They are extremely cheap and shoot very well above the price point.
About the only con is that the case that it comes with is a cardboard box but it does its job and for the money I would not expect anything more.
The mics come with all adapters, shock mounts and even a stereo arm which can get you started in no time. The stereo arm feels a bit flimsy but not bad by any stretch.
The build quality is great. The mics feel superb in the hand and have not found any issue with the construction.
The sound is clear (a tiny bit on the dark side) and sits very well in the mix. It consistently produces a very usable sound and considering its price point I am thoroughly impessed.
Would recommend this and will try to use for other applications.

Just got it, and recorded few vocal lines....
There is nothing much to say against it. You can make professional recordings with it. The only thing, I would do differently is box. I would make box that you don't have to unpack everything, and place it in box, but just to put i safely, and when you need it, grab it...screw it on stand, and there you go. Best mic is the one that is always on ready to record..

NT5 Quality on a Budget
I can't recommend them enough. Just do it, if you can, pull the trigger, a great asset to any mic drawer.

AMAZING MICS- read this
I know this sounds silly, but I use these mics for vocals in my EVERY NIGHT show, I have a Beatles tribute band and we perform in extremely loud venue, where you need tons of volume out of your mic and NO FEEDBACK , after trying many many mics, so expensive ones etc,,,these mics are by far the best, powerful, crystal clear, and because they have a very small diafragma you won't get FEEDBACK at all even when is dead loud. I bought already 8 of these mics and I've been using them every single night since more than a year ago, and they are SUPERB despite their low price, can't get any better go for it , you won't regret it !!!

Excellent - highly recommended
Used for live recording of string instruments, especially on the violins. I had surprisingly excellent results in both XY and wide stereo methods.
Used also in combination with the Rode M3's as to enforce the high frequencies.
Used in sound design and gave good results in creating squeaky and wind effects.
The low-cut filter and the switchable pad makes it very easy to use in different environments.
All in all this matched pair is a very great value for the price.
If I may criticize something is that the stereo bar seems to be a little fragile. But, I can live with that.
I really recommend it for studio and live recordings as a tools to use with other mics.
Low-cost but very good results!

Amazing quality for the price
I bought these, a friend bought the Behringer equivalent and another friend the Rode equivalent at the same time. These are far better than the other two in all aspects (considering that the Rodes stopped working within the week, which could be merely bad luck, but still...).
The sound quality as overheads for drum recordings is exceptional, with a clear and defined sound that is very easy to mix. Also for recording acoustic guitars, same results.
I bought them to have a cheap set for Uni projects, but I will still use them at a pro level because they really are THAT good.
