Review: I am very impressed; this is a lot of microphone for the
money. - This is actually a pro–sounding mic and at an amazing
price. Imagine a Shure SM58 at a third of the cost but housed in
plastic instead of metal. I did a side-by-side comparison with
this mic and a Shure SM58. To my ears, which are pretty
sensitive, the two mics sounded identical on vocals (male with
range from low F to high G), and I actually preferred it over the
SM-58 for an acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. Sorry I didn’t do
electrics because I only have a dinky practice amp. I think the
trade-off for the low price is in the material. An SM58 is
nigh–indestructible, able to take insane forms of abuse from high
impacts to freezing, and even cooking. This mic, on the other
hand, is a light, rigid plastic of some kind. My initial
impressions were just don’t drop it on the floor or anything like
that and you’ll be fine, as long as it’s handled carefully.
However, the threads for mounting to a stand are also plastic,
and I do wonder how long the plastic threads will endure their
job without wear. I’ve had no such problems yet, though. If one
only uses stands compatible with the metal adapter (included),
this should not be a concern. Contrary to amateur complaints…
THIS MICROPHONE HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH BUZZ OR RADIO FREQUENCY
INTERFERENCE. Any such problems come from the CABLE, not from the
microphone. The cable included with this microphone is just a
bonus; it is of poor quality and not suitable for serious use.
Always use a low-impedance (XLR) cable to avoid such problems. No
microphone in the world can guarantee a signal free of unwanted
interference if it is connected to a cheap high-impedance cable
like the one included here. Toss the cable, keep the mic. This is
an amazing–sounding dynamic microphone for home/studio use and at
very low price; just handle it gently. Oh, and it does look
really cool. The photos are accurate. Wishing everyone good
health.
Review: Impressed with what I paid for - I bought this mic out of
impatience in waiting on a Yoga 50's mic I wont on ebay, and also
because it's red and would look great for my band on stage. Oh
yeah, and it was super cheap (like $22) lol. When it came in I
really wasn't expecting much at all, I already knew it had a
plastic shell and I had read some reviews about it before
purchase. When it came in I was pleasently surprised that the
plastic was nice and thick so I don't expect it to break unless I
am trying to break it. The curved back feels great in my hand as
I'm singing (I don't use a mic stand) The best surprise was the
sound. While this is by no means compariable to a $500+ studio
mic, it is way better than the run of the mill mics you are going
to buy for $20-$40. It picks up everything very well (and I mean
everything so make sure you cover the back if playing live and to
keep the noise to a minimum when recording) It sounds way better
than the Shure PG58 that we started with (to be fair it's a low
end Shure mic that's about 8 years old) I'm not a recording
expert, but we did 3 songs with this mic (vocals only, everything
else was direct) We did an intro with a speech, an acoustic with
clean vocals, and a heavy metal with screams. All of these sound
great so far. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cool
and inexpensive mic for demos and live shows.
