NT5 MP : Very good for the price.

I have used them for many years, but manly on a "hobby level", even if I have also used them on a couple of CD productions. Good microphones, good resolution and detail, even if they are not as revealing as the classic (and expensive) KM84/184s.

The pop filters and mounting brackets do their job just fine for the money, too.

I have used them on studio recordings of guitars, wind instruments, drums, vocals (ambience mike), percussion etc. They always deliver a workable sound, even if I normally need to eq them a bit, especially the lower range, wich is not as "tight" as some better mikes. The higer mid is also not as clean as some better models, too. But it is not always you want "clean" so that is not necessarily a bad thing.

I have also made more "documentary" recordings (live church choier ets) and used them for live performances of both rock and more acoustic music. In fact, I think they are even more value for money live, as the potential improvement from a more expensive mike is often not audible in a live mix.

I would buy them again if they were stolen or lost.
