Open Style Electric String Instruments

I use this mic to record string and wind (brass mostly) instruments.  The different patterns make it effective in a variety of spaces depending on whether you want to reject other sounds or include reflections.  Versatile and great sound quality.

This mic sounds very nice for vocals, plucked string instruments, and woodwind instruments (at least that's what I've tried it on). I highly recommend it!

Very open, clear and accurate microphone. Sounds really beautiful and well balanced. It's good for both instruments and vocals from classical to pop music. The quality of this microphone is exceptional and it's definitely worth than the price. I am now mainly using this microphone along with Neumann and DPA microphones. I highly recommend this modernized amazing cardioid condenser microphone to all musicians.

Needed to replace my computer headphones ..something easy on and off and of the open style...so I can hear the phone...these are just the ticket. I can wear for hours at a time and they'll play loud! Great price from B&H too!

I love this shimmering style! I was delighted to open it up! Wonderful style! The case is simple and very pretty... everytime I’m on the phone... I can #ShineOn!

A quick way to not string cables across the stage.

Great for Vocal and Instruments!

I love this product. It has a unique style when you open it. I use this backpack for school and it's really useful with many pockets. It's nice and stirdy and I will use it for a while. It's also great to pack my cameras for traveling. It's super durable I highly recommend! #sweepstakes

If your style is bokehlicious, this is the lens for you. The super creamy bokeh is too die for. Not the sharpest lens when shot wide open, but the dreamy bokeh more than makes up for it. It is a challenge to nail the focus at f/0.95, so take a series of shots just in case. Also, make sure you get a neutral density filter if you want to shoot wide open in mid day. Attached is a photo shot wide open at f/0.95 in a backlit situation.

Although I wouldn't call the X2HR a reference style open back headphone, I would say they are a very enjoyable pair to listen to all kinds of music on. I've listened to everything from Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop, old school to modern R&B, all eras of rock to Death Metal, and the X2HR sounded great with all of them. Great detail, ample bass that holds together and the soundstage is wide but not so much that you lose the mix or the vocals. The X2HR is bright, but never sibilant and the treble range allows for great resolving of ear candy usually lost or hard to hear in poorer performing headphones. I would say the EQ is a bit more of a V shape, but there is enough midrange where recordings never sound hollow. I find the fit very comfortable for my large head and the build quality is excellent. I will say that ear fatigue settled in for me after about 2 to 2.5 hours of listening at a moderate volume. All in all, a great set of cans.
