I've not had the opportunity to try one. I've corresponded with a couple
folks who did try them before release. I'm awaiting your report.

My take is that they should work for specs like the MKH-60 for the mid
and like the MKH-80 for the side. At least for nature recording. As it
sits it's not up to those standards.
