MS 2005 : Why Spend More?

I have used these stands at a couple of gigs and also use them at home for recording. They are fairly light, pretty sturdy and easy to set up in the position you want. There isn't much more you could really ask for in a mic stand.

With this product you get a decent quality mike stand at a price far below some other brands. Sure you could spend more and get something a little more durable but I can't see it being worth the investment unless maybe you have an incredible heavy gigging schedule. Also, these stands may not be particularly suitable for certain situations, like holding a pair of heavy tube mics as overheads when recording a drum kit, but many more expensive stands would also struggle with this.

I have only had these stands a few months and only time will tell how reliable/durable they really are but personally, unless something cheaper comes to the market, I can't see myself buying any other brand of mic stand in the future.
