T Bone MB 60 set
great value for money
ive used them regularly with an 18 piece big band and the tight polar pattern
is great for isolating spill from adjacent players
3 niggles
the bass response rolls off quite shaply from 150 so not good for Baritone of bass Trombone
the capsule in soft mounted and works well to remove handling noise BUT unfortunatly the wiring to the capsule has no slack to accomate movement of the capsule
I've had 3 fail after falling out of clip and landing windshield first ( the windshield was fine but)
the capsule bounces forward and beaks the connecting wires ( was able to rescue them)
The plastic 5/8 to 3/8 reducer supplied with clip
isnt deep enough the thread only just engages with 5/8 clip socket by about a turn and a half as a result they soon fail ( why oh why are metal thread adapters such a rip off
you will need adapters with lip as the plain thread version screw right through the 5/8 socket into the plastic below and if over tightened can shear the thread from rest of the clip.
despite these problems i had 15 of them

Cheap and reliable
I bought these mics for stage use when I rent my PA system for events. The main reason of the purchase is that they were extremely cheap, meaning that I didn't have to worry about the mics getting used unproperly or damaged.
They definetly do their job. They're handy and their overall sound serves their purpose well, and considering that is around £8 (€10) per mic in my opinion is the best quality/price ratio.
Best usage I found to them so far is backup mic, backing vocals and use in small stages and venues.

Good mics, but not for every purpose.
These mics are sturdy, look good, sound really ok and I would say neutral.
In a rehearsal space on lower end PA there are no nasty surprises.
They have decent rejection but not that great handling noise.
Compared to "the industry standard" their body is not as well dampened, and/or capsule suspended which means, considerable handling noise, and an audible resonance of the body.
My feeling is that the capsule is very versatile and good sounding and that with just a bit less corner cutting this mic would be great.
As is, this mic is very usable, especially if it is not abused, or does not have to work in a very loud environment. I would consider using this mic even for recording different sources from a mic stand.

Surprising
For live vocals they are perfect,i only put on small shows and a small pa,so its great to have something with good build quality that doesn't break the bank,i could buy 6 for less than the price of a sm58 or the like,which is good as things can go missing at shows! always good to have spares!

Great set of mic's and they're dime a dozen
I bought these to have when we need to record lot's of stuff and the quality of the sound is not 100% important, just as long as it's better than cell-phone recordings. Turned out they are quite good actually! They are the standard, of-the-bat, dynamic microphones good at a bit of everything. I could see these as a back-up vocal set or perhaps for less integral drum recordings. The case they come in is a great bonus too!

Cheap Alternative To Industry Standard
Fantastic microphones. After doing some reasearch I wanted some microphones for recordings but didn't want to spend too much money. I was skeptical at first but after borrowing this item from a friend I knew I had to have a set. There is not much difference in sound quality from the more high end microphones on the market and any problems there are can be easily fixed by some post production.

Great microphone set, best buy
I ordered this set for a karaoke system. The microphones are well built and the sound is very good, coming from them. The price is amazing and this is a best buy from my point of view. It's not one of the best choices in the microphone segment but it will surely do the trick. Paired with a microphone preamp they will surely not let you down. Also, the carrying case is very handy, all the microphones fit nicely and are always ready for transport.

Good for certain situations
I brought a couple of packs of these for use in the classroom. The quality of the build is actually surprisingly good and for the price the sound quality of perfectly fine.

Great for the price
I bought these to have some extra mics for recording purposes in my basement. i do not need a perfect sound and with these mics for drumrecording i am completely satisfied. of course, there are better mics and i would recommend to test some mics for singing but just to have some mics to experiment with, these are a great deal.
