I recently switched from using a handheld stand microphone to headphones with a microphone when playing the guitar to have more freedom of movement. I have to say that this mic sounds so good. It's almost as good as my sm58 shure mics. I bought and tried the Audiotechnica Pro8HE which is pretty damn good too but this one loses. Shure has a fuller and richer sound in my opinion. I use mine with a Shure SC1 transmitter and a TQG (Shure connector) so make sure you buy one with the correct connector. This product was packaged in a Shure box and shipped within 24 hours. Good business! Buy yourself one.
