Shure SM58 Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Pneumatic Shock Mount, Spherical Mesh Grille with Built-in Pop Filter, A25D Mic Clip, Storage Bag, 3-pin XLR Connector, No Cable Included (SM58-LC)

I made the mistake of thinking I could save forty bucks and get by with the Shure PG-58. Im no vocalist but occasionally need to do announcements or accommodate a guest vocalist through an instrument amp (rather than a P.A.). Whatever the reason, the PG-58 simply doesnt have sufficient gain or oomph to be of much use with the Roland Cube / Peavey amps I try to employ it with (I use a 1/4 adapter with the XLR connector that comes with the mic). When I borrow a Shure SM-58 mic from someone, the difference is instant and dramatic--its a far more efficient (i.e. louder) mic, producing a full, clear sound, and without additional pre-amplification, demonstrating why its the most popular microphone in the world. For five bucks extra, I cant fathom a reason for avoiding the SM-58S, the version with an on-off switch. Its a small price to pay for quick solutions to feedback or the unwanted pick-up of private comments by indiscreet band members. And even if youre an instrumentalist, it may be wiser to select the SM-58 over the SM-57. The former mic is a little more ostentatious, but its also slightly more adaptable, and the screen can filter out a certain amount of wind noise and unwanted non-musical sounds. Above all, the SM-58 has proven itself to be the Sherman tank of microphones, simply unparalleled for ruggedness and durability.

If you are using these ear buds to listen only, they are fine. However the sound is very muffled through the microphone. So phone calls are impossible.

There isn’t a better microphone in its price class.

Perfect sound! I bought 3 already to my band.

The sound is good although I expected more on this product. Maybe a few more tweak in the settings in my mixer will give this mic an edge.

This is the 6th SM58 Ive used, and for vocal amplification, I havent found anything better, there is a reason it is so widely used, and thats because of the sound and quality.

Bought this for karaoke good weight to the microphone and good quality when you sing into it. I have two of them!

Was very excited to purchase a Shure SM 58, but after a bad outing at an important gig last night, noticed the bad handling noise and horrific mid range feedback, i was very skeptical about the authenticity of this mic. After web search found that this is indeed a fake.. Very disapointed..

This is a fantastic mic, everything they a promised!

Very good products and very good service.
