I would compare these microphones to the Rode NT-5s as they are similar in price range. While they aren't the cheapest mics of this kind, they are cheap considering how great they sound and their overall versatility. One of the best things about these microphones is how inexpensive they are. It also works great on mandolin, banjo, and other acoustic stringed instruments. Since they are small diaphragm mics, they are great at picking up the high end of a sound and therefore are great for these instruments. I have used this microphone mostly on acoustic guitars, drum overheads and for getting just a general room sound. The multiple polar pattern choices make it a versatile mic that can be used in a few different practical recording settings. I've been using the Oktava MK-102 small diaphragm condenser mics for about two or three years and have found them to be great mics that are useful in a number of different settings. The only problem with these mics is that the newest Oktava models are worse than the microphones they made a few years ago. The MK-102s come with a clip that is sturdy and will home up the microphone well. I have used it only in the recording studio, but I could see it being used for a recording a live show as well, as they work very well as overheads. The Oktava MK-102 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone with an interchangeable set of heads used for changing polar patterns.
