 "Nady or Shure?" 2010-02-11
By R-block (NY,)
I bought the Nady pcm-200 before the Shure, the Nady has more power fatter sound but it's very stand noisy. The noise makes it un-useable on a wooden floor like most stages are made of. The shure has no mic-stand noise less S-and-P problems and it's just more professional,The extra cost is worth it in the end.

 "Great Looker" 2010-01-19
By C. Byers (Pleasanton, CA USA)
My son was so happy to receive this microphone for Christmas. I can't tell you about the sound quality, but according to him Shure is a good brand. It was definitely one of his Christmas morning highlights. Its a great looking mic that makes quite a statement. Thanks to the supplier I received this item just in time too.

I sing lead vocals for a 20-piece Big Band, and I also own a Web business for which I do audio recording; so, I wanted a mic that works well for both applications. The Shure mic exceeds my expectations.



From a live perspective, the mic does a great job of clearly picking up the lows and mids in my voice. It gives a very true representation of my tone, and doesn't accentuate plosives at all -- even when the volume is cranked up. I've gotten lots of compliments from musicians who can't believe how inexpensive the mic is for the quality. Plus, it looks FANTASTIC on stage.



Recording is great, too. It picks up vocals without pulling in too much ambient noise. It has a warm, well-rounded sound.



I love this mic!

 "A Stunning Visual W-O-W... A Compelling Audio B-L-A-S-T" 2009-06-18
By Raymond Anthony (The Woodlands, TX USA)
It seems the whole world looks like a bowl of oatmeal with sameness all around. But, if you want to stand APART from the crowd and ABOVE the crowd, get this fantastic microphone! I use it both for prop effect and actual audio recording for my entertaining videos. Its quality, appearance and performance are second to none and the price is fabulous. Go back and take a look at the old Elvis videos and films and see how he turned the original classic mic into a piece of moving art that defined his style and charisma. Be creative when using this microphone, honor its heritage... and you too will turn into a unique performer and personality!

 "Poof goes the dream of a practical Pop" 2010-01-16
By Samuel Chell (Kenosha,, WI United States)
The high-end mics I've worked with at the radio station don't require a pop filter between the microphone and the announcer (thank heavens). The filter is internal, built into the mic. But when recording at home with a mic costing a hundred or less, you'll soon discover the necessity of a pop filter for muting those P and S sounds (unvoiced stops and sibilants, they're called). And even after picking up a pop filter, don't be surprised if you still find it necessary to consciously mute those particular sounds, de-emphasizing them vocally by speaking more softly and off to the side of the mic.



The hope is for a pop filter that isn't as large, heavy, and awkward to use as most. The Blue, unfortunately, isn't it. The instructions say to hook it to a mic stand, which should be understood to be a heavy-duty, floor-standing mic stand, not the little desk stand that many if not most audio hobbyists use while employing a Blue mic with their computer. Granted, I'm able to attach the Blue and other pop filters to the thick and heavy base holding up the screen of my desk-top computer, but it's an awkward arrangement, a nuisance to set up and requiring constant adjustment.



One of these days someone will invent a practical internal pop filter or a miniaturized, lightweight one that can quickly and efficiently be used in conjunction with a small desktop or computer mic. But we're not there yet. We're still at a stage where building your own "pop filter" with a piece of stretched nylon stocking inside a jar lid is apt to be at least as effective as the commercial ones and a lot less expensive.

 "The POP is the TOP !!!" 2010-01-10
By M. McGinnis (Vermont)
I'm not sure why the previous negative reviewer called this overbuilt(???) but this is a professional, all metal heavy duty pop filter that is widely used in many high end studios typically selling for $70-$100. I bought mine here for $28.10 and now it's priced at lower $24.63!!! This is the typical price for the cheap plastic pop filters that keep falling off mic stands. I have a large diaphragm condenser mic which works excellent with the large Blue Pop. Check other websites for reviews on the Blue Pop and you will find that this one is clearly the winner!!!

By Bill Barol
Looks great, but the screen is so overbuilt and heavy the gooseneck can't adequately support it. I returned mine.

 "It's a Shure thing" 2009-12-08
By Mike Lurie
The Shure SM58 vocal microphone is the only microphone I trust in the field and onstage. It captures live sound from interviewees and rock star singers in a crisp and clear manner without costing too much money. It's got a solid design, omnidirectional capture, and good pickup from a distance. Every broadcast news reporter and singer should be using this microphone for live-action sound. I wouldn't use it in the studio for recording or voice-overs unless you have to. You will be satisfied with this microphone--it's a Shure thing.

 "Great mic" 2009-06-01
By Aaron Hawley (Phoenix, AZ)
I bought this mic about a month ago, its really great. Sounds very clear, and audible. The tone isn't completely accurate, but most of that has to do with my recording device. Anywho, its a good mic, and I hear its durable. I'll be writing another review after I drop it down a flight of stairs, to see just how o.0 (I've heard its THAT durable, but I'm not really clumsy so...)

 "The most famous!" 2009-05-19
By XAVIER EYCHENNE (Houston, TX)
This is with out a doubt the most famous microphone in the world.

It is resistant, very resistant, that's why I recommend it for live shows, gigs, talks, etc.

The sound is great!!

Compared to microphones from other great brands as jts, peavey and fender the sound of the SM58 is more clearer and more defined,.

No wonder is the choice of many many professionals for singing, for vocals and fot backround voices.

Even though is a little bit more expensive than other brands, the quality of sound and durability and resistance of the materials make the justification of the price.

I have seen that most professionals prefer the SM-58 without on/off switch. Tahe note on that detail, they say it sounds a little better, for my experience I couldn't hear the difference, but it is a point to consider.

On the other hand, if you want an even better and more expensive vocal microphone, you may want to check the Beta 58A.

Please note this microphones are made specially for vocals, not for instrument pickup, if you need one for instruments such as a guitar, harmonica, or wind instruments, you may need a Shure SM-57. It works for vocals too! but is not as resistant as the SM-58 that's why I prefer it.

In conclusion it is a good buy, and you will never repent to have the most famous microphone in the world in your studio and in your giggs.

The SM 58 produces very clear and crisp tones. Also has a nice, balanced weight, at the same time is pretty sturdy. I think it is an excellent buy for the price.
