I picked up a pair of them a couple years ago on Ebay for $41. I think they sound great for low cost mics. Do they compare with the Neumann or Schoeps, not even close, but for the $ they're not bad. There are a few shows on Archive that sound decent. Not mine but https://archive.org/details/Furthur2012-10-06 sounds better than my Neumanns, but I was stuck way in the back. I think if you get them cheap enough you'll be thrilled with them.
