hi sayasachi,

yes i have had one of these for sometime. it's smallish size and light weight
make it very convenient to use.

however compared to sennheiser's latest mics it is noisier. this is certainly
noticeable in quite environments. the stereo also could be better - the 's' 
signal
is definitely low compared to the 'm'. i had some correspondence with 
sennheiser about this.
they say it's designed this way mostly for film and studio use.

in short i use this a lot for recording in urban and louder environments but 
there are
better choices strictly for wildlife, eg mkh60/30 or similar combinations (it's 
a pity
sennheiser don't make this pair into a single bodied mic).

bests
peter
