They are noisy and bright, perfect for some live duties, don't know as I would use them for studio work ( the B5's are better), on loud sources probably OK. For the price good value for money.
Like the Berry C1's they are a good introduction to condensor mics, just do not expect Neumann quality.

i got a pair a couple of weeks ago, have only used them twice. Once was for a live full band recording (2 elec guitars, vocal , drums , no bass 
) and they are pretty bright but they gave fairly decent recordings. The accoustic guitar sounded okay , but probably not if its just a one acc guitar and vocal style track, i prefer my studioprojects b1

yeah thats pretty much what i figured from the spec's..Seem like they may be pretty "hyped" and the bass response looks like fuck all. I wasnt considering buying these as i have alot of decent microphones that would blow these out of the water, as i say i was interested in anybody that has tried them just to satisfy my curiousity. For the price of them it still seems like a pretty good deal for "entry level" condensors, and also for live work. I dont really like using mics that are expensive and easily wrecked, not to mention hard, or in some case's nearly impossible to replace. I have been hearing good things about studio projects as well. They seem to be a much loved condensor in the home recording market. Hats off to behringer though for attempting their coup, im not a huge fan of them but round my way (belfast , northern ireland) they pretty much have the market sown up. It is pretty hard to get decent mics here, luckily i have a mate thats been collecting studio mics for years and i can use them at any time.

Northsiderap notes there have been recent threads on this, and I expect I would have already commented in one of them.
However, I might as well do so again. An acquaintance of mine got a pair, returing them because he was dissatisfied.
I was not convinced of the reasons for his dissatisfaction, so I bought a pair as a challenge (um, mainly to prove him wrong). Because they were so cheap I had little to lose: a pair of mikes for the price of two tanks of petrol!
I tried out a few things with them. I didn't find them noisy, but they did seem to be less sensitive than, say, the NT5s I have. If I turned them up to compensate, then the noise I got was not from them, but more from elsewhere in my system.
I have recorded things using the c2 and something else, then asked for preferences. Some say one, some say the other.
I have recorded vocals using it (something I would not normally do with this style of mike), and they came out ok.
For the price, they are hard to beat.
