Review: unbeatable value and good quality - In terms of value in relation to quality, these mics are hard to impossible to beat; for the price you get two condenser mics with fairly good quality wind covers, mic holders with 3/8th/1/2inch threads and a decent carry case. Add to that, the very good construction and materials of the mics - solid, heavy - really good feel to them. I don't know about professional use, but these are the best microphones that I have and they are capable of producing clean sound, so great for audio, music recording and video. Having two mics means that you can record stereo sounds or two actors for video recording. In the sound test that I conducted, I used two prosumer recorders, a decent field recorder with XLR connectors and a reasonably good quality pocket sized recorder with a 3.5 inch jack input; this particular model is no renowned for its 3.5 jack sockets, it has to be said. In sound editing, I normalised each take to -12db. There is a noticeable drop in sound quality in the second recording, which may have something to do with the recorder's ability to properly power the mic which does need phantom power, something that the field recorder has. I tried another pocket recorder, but without any form of phantom power, the performance proved unusable - so take note; ensure your recorder has phantom power or you will be disappointed. In both tests I turned up the gain to just below audibility in my headphones; I could have added more gain probably without much adverse effect, but it is better to be sure. In both recordings, there is some sibilance, but that is more about my voice, I think, than anything the mic is producing and I could try using a pop filter. Overall, I am satisfied that these Samson mics are good to use and capable of producing good sound quality in voice recording.
Review: Excellent microphones - very well made quality product - Excellent microphones - very well made quality product. Performs perfectly and is very durable. Captures subtle to loud noise levels perfectly. Highly compatible. Very pleasing looks and form factor. Makes volume control a lot easier.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value
*by A***R on 15 February 2021*

Really good bang for the buck. They’re by no means a matched pair, but for the price they work well as room mics with a touch of EQ to even out the self noise. I’ve used them as an X-Y pair on a chamber string group with good results but did have to add something else to fill out the bottom end. There’s a definite gap above this price before you get to something with noticeably better quality. The spec says these are super cardioid, but I’ve found they behave much more as a regular cardioid.
