Great microphone at a great price

My SM58 broke after a few years and I temporarily needed a cheaper replacement. That's when I came across this microphone. It is very similar to sm58. The sound quality is about the same, the build quality is about the same, and it even has an on/off switch! This mic is a little more sensitive to explosives, but I can handle it! This is a great mic at a ridiculously low price.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Defective

Excellent Shure quality and price with a great value switch.

Excellent Shure quality and durability. Doesn't sound as good as the 100€ models, but still high quality. We use it for documentaries and it gives us great results. In addition, it has been dropped and dragged several times and is still in perfect condition. The only drawback is the on/off button. Now it's very "clicky" so you can't be sure if it's off or on. It is secured with a piece of tape over the button. Very important!

Pros
  • Good item
Cons
  • Great price

Amazing microphone in vocals

I've had a few mics from other manufacturers and didn't realize I was missing out until I got my hands on one. This is an amazing microphone. Sounds crystal clear and feels very professional. Don't listen to reviews that it makes noise when you hold the microphone in your hands. To be honest, it's hardly noticeable. I only bought the PGA 48 for karaoke at home, so buying one of the high end Shure mics was a no go for me. This one is perfect for my family. Bought from XLR to 1/4 jack. It…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • It's ok

It's $40 and NOTHING ELSE

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…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Functionality

Just connect and start working immediately!

I had problems connecting 2 microphones with 1/4" mono jacks to the mixer. I tried a 1/4" mono to XLR adapter, but they didn't help. Work. I'm still not sure if those old mics are bad or if the adapters I bought were junk. So I had to spend a little more and bought this microphone. I was amazed and delighted when right out of the box it just worked with my blender, no hiccups or wonder why it wasn't working, no it just worked, no questions asked. The way its "cardoid design" is meant to capture

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Great microphone - especially for the price!

First of all, the microphone is awesome! I've been looking for a good but cheap microphone for a long time and came across this one. Pros: Excellent sound quality On/off switch XLR cable included Microphone holder included Price Sounds like Sm58 Cons: A bit noisy when hand held but when using a mic stand it's great. Don't come with dragons. If you want to use it with a guitar amp, you'll need an impedance transformer. This basically allows your low-impedance device (microphone) to be connected…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing! I'll write
Cons
  • later

I bought this mic because I wanted a home karaoke system on a budget without too much quality to sacrifice. I have no experience with how high quality (expensive) mics are supposed to sound, but I have experience with crappy mics. I mean the ones you use in your typical Korean karaoke bars. If you've got a decent singing voice (but you're not going to be an American Idol winner anytime soon), you're probably looking for mics that reproduce your voice well without breaking it. Bank. I think this

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Protection

Good karaoke microphone for home use.

I bought it specifically for home karaoke. This is a small setup that has been a lot of fun for us since we started it about 1.5 years ago. The karaoke setup became more popular due to the pandemic, we still wanted karaoke and the only place we could do it was at home. I used my computer mic (a Blue Yeti condenser mic) and sent the audio straight to a vocal-only speaker (a Bose Rockin Roller Mini). It worked but I always had to worry about feedback and it was still better than nothing. I…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember
