don't. get a matched pair of rode nt5 instead. if you can spend a little 
more, the nt55 might be interesting, since they come with swappable omni 
capsules included. i haven*t had a chance to test the latter, though, 
but maybe you get a chance to listen to them in the shop before you buy. 
or use an online retailer and make use of your right to return them if 
they are not satisfactory.

best,
