Value for the buck!!

Figured I'd give the 3 pack a try as we needed extra mics for large jam sessions..............could not believe the way these mics sounded compared to the high end mics we already had. Try some! You won't be sorry!

Rating

My company purchsed the R21 mic package back in 2002 when we first started our gospel group. The first day we use them, we were over whelmed at the by the suburb sound that the R21 produced. We had (5) shure 68 mics before we purchased the R21s and we decided to purchase (6) more R21 mic packages. Wouldn't trade them for nothing. Rating these mics 10+.

Great MIc

This an overall great mic for the studio. If you're going to live track, this is a great way to go for vocals. I would even recomend these for condensing. I stuck one over the drums, in-front of my guitar cabinet and one in-front of the bass drum. If mixed properly, they sound fantastic. I've even taken the bottom heads off the toms and stuck a mic inside and they sounded great, no distortion or anything. I haven't tryed out these mics live yet but a mic that's this good in the studio probably wouldn't be the best sounding live. It would probably be better for backing vocals rather than lead vocals. I now have two sets of these (6 mics all together) and they're used everytime my band and I record.

Great purchace

Love them i can get alot of volume out of even the shyest singers that back away from their mics

grat for the pricw

good mics but don't use as hand held mics but if you have the money get 3 sure sm 58s or 3 sm57 (whats the diffrence?) but overall they are good mics. i use them to mic bass drums, snares, amps and vocals and they sound great and they don't distort when things get rough.

Great package deal, good mics

These mics are good for the price. They have a bit of handling noise but with enough experimentation this can be avoided. I would highly recommend them for backing vocals rather than a main singer. They are good if they are held up by a stand rather than held up by a hand.
They also come in a carrying case that is very durable.
If you are on a budget, get these. They are a great deal.

Not bad at all

These are no 58's, but they did get the job done and they were quite inexpensive. They worked well on both amps and vox. Minimal feedback hassles, no stress about energetic musicians knocking over a stand ('cause they were so cheap). These were used all weekend for multiple bands at an outdoor festival with no complaints--although nobody raved about the awesome mics and asked where we got them either.

They are not as robust as other reviews made them sound; they are shorter and lighter than mics pros will be used to, although they are by no means flimsy or cheesy. The clips are inexpensive (think Radio Shack), and the case looks cool in the website images but it's really pretty much just for show--like a tackle box with a foam insert.

Still, they really did sound surprisingly good; they have a nice little high-end bump that give a lot of air without causing too much sibilance. And for fifty clams for THREE of them, I am not concerned about their longevity.

I can recommend them freely, mostly because they are so affordable. I'd rate them higher, but I don't want to mislead someone looking for serious pro gear (which you won't get for this price anywhere).

Samson r21 vocal mic

These mics are absolute Crap. You have to get right on it for your voice to be heard. Move any where left, right, or back just a little bit and the volume is gone. I know good mic technique but these do not help. I mean total volume drop.
The reason they give you three is they are very fragile and BREAK. One got knocked over by an enthusiastic fan, hit the stage and exploded! Then, one pin inside the XLR broke. Then the last one took a dive and came a part. Basically, you get what you pay for. Oh and the latch on the cheap plastic box broke too.
Pay the xtra coin and get a shure 58, They sound great and are solid.
