C-2 Stereoset : Can't argue at the price

I wanted to start buying a range of microphones of different types and patterns to build a basic set. At this price, I couldn't go wrong so took a shot on these. They are quite nice overall, very small in design, almost toy like. The set comes with an adapter for the microphone cradles to allow easy set up of an XY stereo pair, which I thought was a great addition. The sound overall lacks bottom end but overall is quite pleasant for entry level and mid level studio and field recording. I AB tested these against a pair of C1000s and found the C1000s ahead. This is a horses for courses microphone. If you aren't going to be picking over frequencies in fine detail, or more over if the end result doesn't require this then its a good choice for a budget. Professionally these have got most of their use recording performances for GCSE music coursework and as such are arguably overkill in relation to the required audio quality.
