They make a pretty good low priced mic. They do not equal mics like the
Sennheiser MKH, but in their price class are very good. I don't own a
pair, but have built a modified SASS around a pair for someone else
which was very nice, here's my SASS page:

For recording ambiance I primarily use the mod SASS/MKH-20.
