Reviewed by Aaron on B&H Photo Video

This is the perfect mic for the price. Looking for something to do interviews on the fly and didn't need to spend $100 on an SM58. This is the perfect choice since it's still solid a a rock, sounds amazing, and has most of the features of the 58 without the price tag.

Great mix for the price.

I use this mic in place of my AKG when I'm away from my studio. It's light and compact and makes a good travel mic for me.

I do small events with PA and also some radio broadcasts...I have looked for a stout mix that can hold up to use and abuse. This is the mic. Sounds like an SM58 but easier to afford.

Definitely a bargain for the price and brand!

Price was fair because it is far better than the karaoke mics. Which is what I bought it for. It has a much more clear sound and with less distortion.
