Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

They are well built and sturdy (i dropped one and it seems undamaged) and sound good whenever i use them for live gigs. They have a nice crisp high range, which compliments the deeper robust sound from my rode ntg2. They give have the best quality but... Read More

Samson c02 mics are amazing for the price. Specs are terrific for mic-ing hi-hat.

These are the perfect stereo pair of microphones for recording a choir. Also very useful recording acoustic guitar. They work very well as choir mics.

The case is nice & they come with wind covers when you buy them in the 2 pack. They come with a nice case that includes a windscreen and clip. These came packaged in a really sweet hard plastic carrying case and lined with foam.

My griping aside, these things do a borderline-acceptable job as overheads. They work well on an acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin as well as cymbals. We use them for acoustic instruments and they deliver every time.

Cons

The difference is astounding bad. Kinda *. Will be returning.

Quality

I am very happy with the quality of build and sound

Quality is good using them with a samson system

I purchased these microphone for a group oof senior singers and the sound and dynamics of the microphones are unbelieveable

The only issue i have is that one of these mics from heavy use will randomly shut off and i have to turn off the phantom power ... Read More

Price

Got the set of 2 for a very good price and they sound great with my fairly inexpensive 2channel preamp

These are an amazing value for the money

For a little over a hundred bucks they really took my recordings to the next level

I can’t believe they’re only 100 bucks for the pair

Packaging/appearance

These came packaged in a really sweet hard plastic carrying case and lined with foam

They come with 2 shock mounts and we used 2 mic stands positioned hi above pointed down about 10 apart

As i mentioned above the two mics came packed in a handy little hardshell travel case

This little box can accept either 14 inch 34guitar cables34 or 34xlr34 cables

Competitiveness

I have not tried them in a studio or compared to other sdc mics but among the affordable chinese made overhead mics available i... Read More

Yes there are better more expensive microphones out there but this pair of samson mics will most likely do the trick if you are... Read More

Honestly you wont be able to tell the difference between the brands

My first set of small diaphragm condensers so i do not have anything to compare them to except sm57s
