they are not comparable to the royers IMO!!

the royers (of which I own two r-122s) are accurate, very musical and natural sounding!

The t-bones (of which I own two too) are super compressed sounded, highly coloured, poorly detailed, transient mashers of the first order! GREAT for some things (as shaman mentioned: room mics!!) but I've never used them over the royers for FOK, acc gtr, vox, OH, snare, HH, dirt gtr or pretty much any application where I want a really usable representation of whats in the room!

You do get what you pay for in this situation! They are ten times less than the royers and ten times less useful in most situations!

they are however, very cool and I do use them frequently in more FX-y type roles...

If I was to go for a cheapo ribbon - I'd grab a single Beyer m-160 rather than two of these!!!
