Anyone familiar with Audio Technica ATM10 mics?

Are these mics good for any particular application?
Someone is giving them away. They need a double A battery in each unit. Never saw this before. Any info on these will be appreciated.
Thanks.

I don't know if you still have these mics, but here is what i know.
I have had nothing but bad luck with the ATM10s since i received them as a giveaway about 3 months ago. At one of my band's practices, i wasted like half an hour trying to figure out what cable/connection was malfunctioning. It turned out that the microphone stopped working. On the one that does work, the XLR connector is loose, so if the cable gets moved, i get popping sounds. These mics aren't great for too many applications, but i heard they are best on piano. I've used them on Acoustic guitar and overheads, on which i have had 'ok' results. I am more happy with these mics now than i was when i wrote this AT review found here. Have you used them yet? If so, what did you use them on? Any luck?
