It may not be an issue for you at all if you're not going to be using it on those sources.

In terms of how the mic sounds, you really need to try one for yourself, sorry....
Thanks. I appreciate the feedback. Looks like I need to find a shop to let me demo a pair of 4038s. Anyone got any recommendation?
