C-2 Stereoset : Best Budget SDCs

I've had these mics for a couple of months and so far have used them for recording acoustic guitar, a choir, and drum overheads. I'll break down how I feel about the sound for each one. Acoustic Guitar: A touch more harsh in the high end and a bit brighter than I'd like, but overall a really good sound, which also works when doing stereo via X/Y or ORTF. Choir: They captured a lot less of the room sound than I initially expected, but adding that reverb back in post made them sound absolutely perfect with only minimal EQ tweaks (meaning a little boost in the low-mids and removing some room resonances). Overheads: Gorgeous sound! They sound very natural and capture almost exactly what's in the room, although harsher in the high end than optimal. That said, they take EQ extremely well and all the harshness can be removed with a couple of bands - the sizzle that remains is beautiful and it fits in the mix perfectly! In regards to the overall build, the mics themselves feel really solid, especially for the price point. The case is plastic and not the best feeling, and the foam cut-outs are a bit small and you need to squeeze hard to fit stuff in, but it's not the worst to deal with. The included stereo bar is frankly the weakest part of it and I bought a K&M one immediately - it's made of plastic and doesn't hold itself tight that well; the K&M is metal and much more solid while only costing 10€ more. Considering the price point, I would definitely recommend these for anyone looking to get their first pair of SDCs!
