The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because it's less expensive to buy all four microphones separately. Not sure how that makes sense, but it doesn't detract from the quality of the product.

Reviewed by Laurel on Guitar Center

I've ordered a lot from here and everything has been great up until this last purchase of the sm57 microphone, cable and stand package. It was delivered with the box fully ripped open, with the contents and packing material spilling out on the ground where it was left. I'm not sure yet if anything was damaged, as it was bought for a present and they have not gotten to try it out yet. I will be in contact if items are damaged.

it is a very bad mic

I have to say I was really disappointed with this microphone. I've pretty much tried it on everything you can think of and the tone is consistently muffled and muddy. If you're looking for a Shure mic in the same price range I'd recommend the Shure SM58 instead.

I would never ever purchase a bundle again.

I don't really have anything to say. They shipped the cable and the stand, but no cable. Now I have to waste tons of time to talk to their sales engineers about exchange order and stuff.
