You may have got inferior Oltava ones, or the rip-off Chinese ones.
The only place(s) to get Oktava are the Soundroom www.oktava.com . They do
thir own selection, weeding out the crappy ones, doing the QC that the
factory never used to do.
If you are talking abouty the pros and cons of Oktava mics, you really
need
to specify where they came from to be meaningful.
