Review on 🎤 Shure PGA48-XLR Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone for Spoken Word, Karaoke | On/Off Switch, 3-pin XLR Connector, 15ft XLR Cable, Stand Adapter, Zipper Pouch by Sam Anez

That's the way it is with this microphone. It's from Shure, which undoubtedly means it has excellent build quality and is made from premium materials. However, it has a TERRIBLE running noise and the built-in wind/pop filter isn't very effective. Vocals sound clear and clean, but there's a very faint static hum in the background, which (to me, at least) is quite annoying. I bought it for street interviews and cannot use it for that due to handling noise. I don't know what I'm going to do with this mic, maybe I'll use it in the studio on a tripod. Be sure to use the optional wind/splash shield, and this isn't the best mic for handheld situations. I love Shure and they will always be my #1 source for mics, but nobody can make a quality mic for less than $100. Can't recommend and I'm disappointed.
