They’re great!
I can't believe I'm the first to review the nickel finish pair!
I have used 184's as main mics for classical/chamber recording, string quartets, steel and nylon string guitar, solo/overdubbed piano, live piano in a band context, group and individual vocals, upright bass, drum overheads, percussion, harp, banjo, cajon, djembe, etc.
They are clear and detailed without being strident. The midrange is smooth and silky, and the transient information is excellent. Off axis sound is clear and even. They're small and compact and can get in tight spaces. They can handle a decent amount of SPL, and are very quiet.
This is my second pair of KM 184's, I love them. If Neumann reissued the KM84, I'd buy 2 pair right away. But I'd still keep a pair of these for the rest of my career. In my experience, you can't have too many of these mics.
