Just wondering what the shock mounts are like? Metal or plastic...

For the money - You could just throw the mics away....if the shockmounts (and windscreen) are decent...

EDIT (Sorry for the misplaced post, Brian...)

I had never seen those before.  The shockmounts look *very* similar to the Superlux HM-32 (I believe that's the model #) mounts:





Mostly plastic, but they do alright.  At $5.99 each, they're the "disposable" mount.

If the mics are any good, they'd be a steal priced under $25 with mount, screen, stand and shipping!!!
