No issues - the mics had everything I needed.

I have used this mic to record acoustic guitar. The sounds is as good as many more expensive mics.

No issues - just take from the box and use.

Feature:
What features are really needed, all needed is there...

Quality:
Does feel fragile, gotta take care of them well....

Value:
Come on, look at the price... Whatz more, i only paid 50% of it for a brand new match pair, the shop was on clearance sale.... wow, i really had a deal...

Desirability:
It looks really great...

Sound:
I luv the sound of these. Let me put it this way, compared it with an AKG C1000S and recorded samples on the same cymbal hitting a few spots. Then i played back to a few friends to hear and see their feedback. Everyone pointed that the Samson sounded better. Sometimes it's better not to tell people about the mic when you let them compare, they always tend to prefer the well-known mics more just becos of preconceptions they already have. Rate it an 8 becos i haven't had chances to compared them with NT5, MK012 or KM184s.

Ease of Use:
Besides cymbals, i have used them as room mikes, but they tend to pick up only higher frequencies. Used them on vocals and they didn't fit my friends, actually was only right for my own voice. They are best on cymbals and as a bridge pickup mic for acoustic guitar.

Support:
Don't know...

Overall:
Stop talking about those big names, on mics it's not WYPWYG, i can name you numerous occasions where the more branded overated mics lose out greatly to the cheaper unknown ones. Like i say, i met a person who kept swearing on a branded mic even though the cheaper ones were obviously better sounding. People have preconceptions that are difficult to break...

Feature:
The factory windscreen is poorly constructed for bass singers. I recomend getting a Windtech 1300 windscreen for the best sound. These windscreens are only about $5 to $6 on various websites. With the 1300, this mic becomes a gret inexpensive bass or any othe part mic. If your bass singer sounds good, everyone else will. It will not make you a bass singer if you do not have the vocal ability to sing that part

Value:
In my opinion this mic is terribly under priced. It should sell for at least $200 a piece

Sound:
It can be used for all four parts of my quartet. I would use it for the bass part if i did not have the Cadilac of Bass mic's, The Shure Sm-81. I was very suprised that such a love priced mic could had those real low notes so well. If i had not ben able to aford the Sm-81. this mic would have been more than adequate.

Support:
don't know have not need it

Feature:
Single pattern, I use them to record live bands from the audience. They sound great

Quality:
they feel as solid as any Mic I own, or have use

Value:
For the price these sound fantastic. Actually, I won't say "Any" price but for what one might use these for I don't see the need to spend any more on a set of Mics. I've used Nuemann, Rode, AKG, Cad, Shure etc.... No less quality here, in fact I used one of these mics to do a voice over for my son's homework project, Perfect!!

Desirability:
There really shiney....who cares the sound great.

Sound:
Bright, accurate, and open.

Support:
don't know

Overall:
until I break them or get them stolen
