How well would these work in video production?

It would depend upon what you intend to shoot. The best uses for the microphones would include things such as choral or acoustic music in a controlled environment. If you intend to capture ambient or general sound such as machinery, ocean waves, dogs barking, cars driving by, these would be quite sufficient. If you intent to capture dialogue, I would suggest either a worn mic, a handheld mic (if you don't mind it being in the shot), or a shotgun mic (with or without a handheld boom). For the M5s to work well for dialogue, they would need to be so close to the speaker that they would necessarily be in the shot on a stand as these cannot be handheld without serious handling noise. You would need something much more directional to get decent sounding speech.These microphones arranged properly basically pick up the same sounds that our ears do in real space--but that doesn't always quite work for video. In real life, our brains do a fantastic trick of filtering out all of the background or unwanted sounds so that we can zero in on what we are trying to hear. Video confuses that process in our brains, so we have to take a different tact. We have to capture sound that actually isn't perfectly true to life, but makes it seem that way when we watch the video.I don't intend to be patronizing with this response; I just want you to get what you really want.

I do not and have never had something to records with. If i were to buy these mics what else would I need to record. Like cables and equipment?

To record with these mics, you would need two balanced XLR cables. You would also need some sort of pre-amp into which to plug them which is capable of supplying phantom power. You would also need a recording device. Many recording devices include preamps and phantom power so that you can run the XLR cable directly into the recorder. As a baseline for a quality recording device, consider something like the Zoom F4 or the Sound Devices MixPre3 or MixPre3M. Zoom also makes less expensive devices, but the preamps really lack in quality by comparison.

Would these sound great as audience mics?

I think they would do quite well. They are fairly bright, but for applause, laughter and audience pick-up they would probably be great.

can they be used for asmr making？Are they Binaural Microphone？

These are not binaural microphones; however they could be use as part of a binaural rig if you have a dummy head or some other similar apparatus in which to mount them that would mimic the spacing and shape of human ears.
