User Reviews:
Feature:
on/off

Quality:
I have taken these on the road, dropped them. hit them with a drum stick… and they continue to work perfectly

Value:
it was cheaper to just buy the six mic (drums) but when i needed another for more cymbals… it was a little pricey.

Desirability:
long slender black and smooth, how could you not want it. actually they blend in very well and dont really get in the way.

Sound:
i record my cymbals on my drumset with these (with my band). I get perfect sound, aside from having to buy a soundcard for my computer.

Support:
The mesh on the tip was cut, from factory, i took it to shure and recieved a replacement with no argue.

Overall:
so far they are amazing and i wont need a replacemtn until i become an extreme audiofile…

These mics are freakishly cheap for the quality you get.

They’re awfully pretty

They’re very true to the original character of the sound.

I would buy again.
