excellent

This has been a very good buy for me. The mics work very well with acoustic instruments. But a bonus that I've found is that they can be used even (in a pinch) to record voice. Good price too.

Good mic but careful about moisture

Good

Good Product

Very good Sound Quality Using on Oh for Strings and indoor Dialogues .. i am impressed with the price tag while its sound quality..

This pair is making a huge difference in the clarity of tone and volume on instruments.

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.

Allora, premetto che il mio lavoro è la musica, passo metà della vita in vari studi a registrare me stesso e gli altri....ma ho anche uno studietto casalingo dove uso un po' di microfoni senza pretese.....voglio una coppia di condensatori per riprendere un po' di tutto.....bene, non voglio spendere 1000 euro...cosa faccio cerco qualcosa sui 250 300 euro?....no non serve a niente, con 88 euro spedizione compresa posso registrare dignitosamente il mio pianoforte o mettere i panoramici alla batteria...se volete fare sul serio allora è un'altro discorso.....non spendete soldi per vie di mezzo, non ne vale la pena, questi Samson sono davvero incredibili per il loro prezzo....consiglio davvero....basta non aspettarsi la qualità di una coppia di microfoni seri....per quelli bisogna aggiungere uno zero a quel 88 Euro...almeno...ciao a tutti...ah dimenticavo mi è pure arrivato un buono da 10 sterline per acquisti cari...fai te!

Me encanto

Buena calidad-precio

I’ve had these for a few weeks. I’ve used them as drum overheads and room mic’s. You will not buy better mic’s for the price. Can’t wait to use them on the acoustic. I’ve used 500$ rodes and agks. These sound pretty much as good.
