I did see one review from someone where the SL300 had some kind of off static running all the time, but the video's creator did note it may be his equipment was faulty. And even so, I could just record like half a minute of 'silence', picking up only the background noise, and then just copy-paste that over each other for the full length of whatever I'm doing, except in reverse phase to cancel out the static noise, right? I mean, isn't static a certain form of sinusoidal wave?
Also, you say you would get the SL300, but I should get the SL150 - is this because you're more focussed on the other uses of the microphone as opposed to singing and recording just speech?
Dammit I thought I did reply, but apparently I didn't hit send or something. Now to type it again:
The static is only a result of either fault equipment or poor mic placement. As long as you keep it away from electronics (your computer for instance) you should hardly get any static; the noise cancellation side should also help. Reverse phasing the static won't really help though, as it would probably leave an awkward frequency gap in your recording.
You never did specify what the SL150 is. Is it unidirectional or omnidirectional? I merely gathered that the SL150 was a unidirectional mic by a quick Google search. Whichever you choose, I would prioratise unidirectionalism.

Alright. Well, the SL150 is only unidirectional, wheras the 300 is both unidirectional and omnidirectional, depending on whichever setting it's in. That's the only difference I can find between the two, other than the minor difference in price (20 dollars I believe). So both mics will have unidirectional capabilities, but the 150 has this exclusively, whereas the 300 seems to have both. I think I may go for that then. Again, omnidirectional is good for out-of-house recordings and for certain instruments, right?

Omnidirectional completely depends on the context, but is much less frequently used than unidirectional. The only things omnidirectionality is used for is recording something where the sound doesn't come purely from one spot, such as a group of people talking, outdoor ambience, a band, etc. However, the vast majority of things people record generally only require a unidirectional setting. Though if you have the money, the SL300 is definitely a good choice, because having both is always a nice plus.

Alright then. I think I'll take that one then. It's only the 14 euros more expensive than the other one, so I don't really think money will be the problem. I think having omnidirectional will allow me to experiment more too, which is always good. Thanks for your insights!
Also, while we're on the topic, what types of polar patterns do your mics have? What do you use the different types for, usually? And do you use them in unusual cases? Sorry to bombard you with all these questions, but this new gear has quickly caught my interest.

Tedious and worthless discussions in the Rayman Legends topic at best.
