Does anybody recognize these mics?

Another longshot: T-bone T500.

Unfortunately you won't find anything about these mics on the net. It's like they never existed, but I own a pair.
 
I don't think anyone could identify them based on that picture. They look like black small diaphragm condenser or an end address dynamic in that form factor like some of the ones from Beyerdynamic.
 
Thanks for the answers, I know the photo is really bad but it's the only one I have.. And I'm curious too about the T-bone T500!
 
Sorry, my mistake. It's the T-Bone EM 500.

You can find a few for sale, or mentioned in a rider, but nothing else. They seem to come from a drum mic kit. This one:

The ones I have were part of about a dozen "defective" mics I bought from a DJ who was stopping because of Covid. Bought these mics for the case, to use for DIY. Tested and they work, so I haven't used the bodies yet.

I don't really trust a lot of Thomann's listed specs, but here's what I found. Curiously they list it as only going up to 15KHz.
 
Thanks for that spec sheet.

I took one apart...

The capsule looks like it could be an electret. I's marked "07K05", but that doesn't ring a bell. The PCB is marked "FX-510", but that doesn't tell me anything either.

A short search turned up this page:

Looks like it could be the original, I think. Specs look similar, size looks similar.

EDIT:

Looks like this could be the capsule, from Kingstate, which is also a Taiwan company:
