So Blue is doing another Hummingbird blowout. Basically two for one from nearly every dealer. $299 a pair seems pretty awesome. Any one have experience with these?

been curious about these as well - I like side address condensers on toms. had been using ATM450s for a good while, but they are kinda thin sounding much of the time. I scored a Shure Beta 181 recently - wondering how these stack up

I have a pair. They are very bright, but not too shrill. I do love them on toms. They’re very easy to position.

I’ve been impressed so far and def want another one!

Apparently the capsule is based on the Blue B1? Never used one but have read some good things... Went ahead and got a pair. $299 a pair seems like an easy decision.

There were a few retailers that had the same deal, I suppose it's a clearance from Blue or something, but FEA has no tax and free shipping, so that's worth quite a bit! Anyway, I bought a pair. I didn't need them, but I'll find a use for them or resell them later or something. I really swore I'd never buy something I didn't absolutely need.. Whatever, lol.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Blue, no experience with any of their products after the Logitech buyout. Even the case is really solid, and filled with a nice rubbery filling instead of the typical foam fillers Ive seen.

I think it's a good deal but I'm trying to wonder if they are an upgrade or if I'd find a new use.
