Pros

Great mic, sounds like a 57 (same capsule), solid shure build quality. Fun for freddy mercury fans who want to use the mic he was known for using while live. This is the best mic i've ever used.

They are at least 35 to 40 years old. Plugged these puppies directly into my ev zlx-15p. It's a very durable mic as i have dropped it a couple of times. Built like a tank, great silent switch and the nostalgia factor is icing on the cake!

The bottom line is i still like them and they are a good buy for the money.

Packaging/appearance


The pop grilles were dented and the foam inserts were turning to powder.

Competitiveness


This is a great alternative to the sm57.


The mic it replaced way probably $400 - $500, and it was awful, by comparison.


It is the predecessor to the sm58 and both looks and sounds sort of like it.
