We're using in a church worship service, one for picking up spoken voice and one for picking up an acoustic guitar and variously also our children's choir.

Both microphones work excellently, have nice clear noise-free sound, pick up even children's voices quite nicely without having to overdrive the sound system, and appear to be fairly solidly built.

My only disappointment with them is the AT2020 side-address condenser - I thought that it work as a mic from either side, but it is unidirectional. There was nothing in the advertising telling me that it should work from both sides, it was just an assumption I made, which assumption comes from the fact that I know very little about microphones. Perhaps it's a known fact that "side-address" means one side only, I don't know.

I don't offer that as a complaint, only as a helpful guide in case someone else who doesn't know much about microphones is wondering how it works.

As I said, sound-quality-wise, these are both wonderful, and we're getting another set for the church.

The AT2020 and AT2021 condenser microphones included in this package are simply great quality. The microphones are very durable and aren't cheap like many microphones at this price level. They sound really clear and fresh, which is a relief upgrade from my old Logitech [ew] microphones.

The 2020 produces rich sounding vocals through my Roland AC60 Amplifier. I even took the mic to the bathroom to capture the natural re verb of other rooms and the results were excellent. I opted to spend the extra $40-50 on the small diaphragm condenser 2021. This was a good choice because it sounds absolutely awesome while miked up to my acoustic guitar.

True, there are much, much more high quality condenser microphones available on the market. But, ladies and gentlemen, for this price it isn't going to get much better! Best bang for the buck. 5/5!

the AT2020 is great for voice, the 2021 for guitars,etc the combo price just makes the quality for price untouchable. I use the AT2021 for passivly recording groups in a room sometimes, the tiny size and solid construction makes it a take anywhere mike
