Feature:
Comes in a small zipper bag, and a foam wind shield that is little loose on the mic

Quality:
Soild metal (zinc?) shell that provides good protection for the the mic element. Haven't used it for percussion

Value:
Great value for the money, compares to mics costing over twice as much

Desirability:
A handy small condensor mic, has a quality look and feel, top unscrews to show high tech insides

Sound:
Very transparent sound, very low self noise, plenty of output, quite diectional, overall sound quality compares with my Rode NT3

Support:
Haven't needed to use their customer service or warranty repair, just one sheet for the manual, no warranty card.

Overall:
I bought a pair because I needed something small as hanging mics and require low self noise and directionality for recording purposes

Quality:
I dont think you'll find a better mic at twice the price. I've had a couple of inexpensive condenser mics that didn't sound near as good.

Value:
As I said, I don't think you'll find a better mic at twice the price.

Sound:
Even used it as a vocal mic for a trio, they said it sounded clearer than thier #300 studio mic!

Support:
Just a guess, haven't needed any'support'

Feature:
Standard mic.

Quality:
Not too bad. Not too good either.

Value:
I waster $120 on a pair when I could have just saved the money and gotten something better. Do the same. If you have ears, you'll yearn for something more.

Sound:
I understand it's a cheap mic, but I bought it based on peoples reviews who said it sounded better than more expensive mics. I should've stopped right there.

Support:
Never used it
