Reviewed by W. Keith on B&H Photo Video

These Samson C02 mics do very well when used for recording indoor interviews, which is why I purchased them. At the $117 dollar price getting two is more than just a deal. I did add Rycote Windjammer BaseBall wind screens for handheld work.

So far so good.

These are GREAT as stereo overheads in a live stage setting. It's almost unbelievable how well they reject sound from right next to the kit! Highly recommended!

I read reviews that suggested that for the price, these are good mics. Yikes, at double the price, these would still be good mikes for the price. Great for starters, fantastic as a set for interviews

I read the reviews and was skeptical they could deliver quality at this price point. These sound fantastic as drum overheads. I haven’t used them for anything else.

I was using an SM57 and wanted to try a pair of condenser mics to record acoustic guitar in stereo. Reviews on these were very good and the price was right. Very happy with them.
