Klas,
    re: barrier,
     Depends the packaging options, if the end user is not going to open th=
e clips take the  wrapping off to expose the omnis in order to place them n=
ear a barrier perhaps an alternative may be offered for those that wish to =
experiment? Altering the packaging from your original to such an extent may=
 void any warranty you offer.

Ive not found any reason why they would not sound fantastic if they are nea=
r a surface other than the need for post EQ or alteration to the response -=
 it depends on the barrier.

Heres similar capsules used in a different boundaries:

An example of how mine sound in urethane ears after EQ can be found in this=
 article:-
http://www.urlme.net/blog/?p=3D1307

Or a nature recording:

or Log spiral plate:
http://www.urlme.net/blog/?p=3D1150

or in my ear:-
http://www.urlme.net/blog/?p=3D1096

Its always possible to create EQ curves for a dummy head bringing them
to free field similar to large diaphragm condensers:-
http://www.urlme.net/blog/?p=3D1053

Or to add deliberate 'interference' structures around them to boost key fre=
quencies, after such increase in sensitivity the hiss in this example at 7k=
hz all but vanishes once inverse EQ is applied bringing the mic back to fre=
e field. (or diffuse if you prefer that):-
http://www.urlme.net/blog/?p=3D1032   (as used by Gordon Hempton)

Maybe if the intended use is in DIY gear I would strongly urge you to offer=
 them for such purpose even at premium prices? Im sure a lot of recordists =
would be very interested in access to these capsules and would be willing t=
o beat a path to your door. The increased interest would also highlight att=
ention to your other products which is a win win situation.

Kind Regards
Mike.
