I purchased these for low budget shows etc, when my usual stock of Sennheiser MKE2 & DPA were a bit over the top for the budget & risk getting damaged.. They sound really good as a disposable mic. Very hot compared to others, I would recommend a gain setting of -36dB on sennheiser packs. Clip included is Black not beige. I Hair mount them anyway. They won't compare to a MKE2 or Essential, but are equally as good as a ME2. I've bought over 30 so far. They hold up well too, only faulty one was DOA before use which was replaced immediately.
