One mic in the pair came defective
Both microphones in the set worked well in the beginning. Then I put them back into the box and only used them again a few months later. It appeared by then that one of the microphones produced a noticeable noise like there was a sand constantly moving inside the capsule. I switched the capsules and confirmed that the problem was indeed inside the capsule. I was able to make the noise disappear by giving the capsule a light kick with my nail, and the microphone worked fine for that day, but the problem reappeared a few days later. I "fixed" it again by kicking the capsule. I don't know for how long this kind of "fix" is going to work, and I don't like having this unreliable stuff as part of my setup.

Functional, but lifespan is questionable.
I've owned multiple sets of the C2s, for different purposes, and your use dictates their lifespan. As studio microphones, the repeated connection cycling can cause mechanical faileure, as I've experienced on one of mine. However, in a static setup (e.g. as an XY pair for a lecturn), they work wonderfully. A bit bright for some purposes, but good for the money. Would consider them ideal for budget installations or as a last minute replacement, but would be worth investing a bit more into high quality versions - the B5's are pretty good.
The included stereo bar is very useful too.

Small price but also quality
Obviously to cheap to be decent microphones. I bought it just to check them and for this price you get what you get. Wouldn't use them in a professional setting but good for testing, etc.

Good for money
Used for stereo field recording of sounds of nature. Compared to other mics they perhaps lack a little bit of clarity in high-frequency range. Easy and sturdy for everyday use, and they come in plastic casing, so that's a big plus. Added padding switches are a nice feature. They come as a pair - so you'll get a excellent value for the money.

Great for the price
Them working and not sounding like garbage for the price is amazing and totally worth a purchase.

For OH:s in this price range, these aren't bad at all. Sound is a bit cold, and you have to be careful with the placing. The cutting option was handy. For my band's pre production needs, these worked up just fine.
