Good inexpensive utility mic for live sound reinforcement. You can close mic almost anything. I do not use them to record with in the studio. I have three. Always buy them in a multiple package deal or mic stand/cable deal on sale. I have not tried to hammer nails into 2x4's with them, but they do seem very road worthy.

Good mic on a budget

I got 2 of these mics in a PA package and they really are much better then I expected. My main use so far has been recording electric instruments with it and it gives crisp recordings on my pc run through a mixer. I may have to pick up a couple more to mix my drum kit and at this price I don't mind getting a few to get banged up.

Great pickup for Karaoke and Speech Great Mic at Great Price

I picked up three of these up on a GC special and I have never regretted it. They are perfect for vocals, speech and music. I have never had a problem with the mic making any noise or failing to pickup. These are just great all around mics

Great microphone for backup vocals in a rock band. I also used to mic my acoustic guitar at a small show. Solid construction is durable for gigs and sound is very good. Basically a copy of a Shure SM-58 at an affordable price.

After leaving my sm58 at our practice space before a gig I realized the err of my ways and bought this for practice. After using I would have no problem using them interchangeably. Not sure it's as road worthy but not really planning on giving it the Roger Daultry treatment.

not a bad practice mic, I wanted to start adding vocals to my band and works great for karaoke just doesn't have an on off switch and the connection jack is somewhat poorly made but other then that works as it should with no issues

They sound great. I use them hosting karaoke

I host karaoke 3 times a week in addition to my musical career. These are low priced and sound great. Drunk singers have dropped them and they still work. They're every bit as good as an SM58 for this purpose. Granted I don't gig my band with them I use Sennheisers for that.

cheap, sturdy, clear sounding

sounds clear enough for most applications, i wouldnt use it to record vocals but its perfect for those rowdy diy gigs where youre afraid somebody will break or steal your gear. why buy a 58 for $90 just to have it stolen by a crack head when you can get a DR for $50 new or $20 used.

Great budget mic, compares favorably to the SM58

As good or better than the industry standard house mic SM58 for clarity, warmth, and responsiveness. Comparable pattern and characteristics at distance. A tremendous value for performers looking for a BYOM or venues/hosts needing to swap mics w/each performer.

This was a great deal when they had it two for $30. These are versatile work horses as long as you're not running over them with cars they should last and if you don't particularly care for the sound, you can edit it and post but overall it's a good microphone

Better than an SM58

I did a side-by-side with a Shure SM58 and found this mic to be clearer, more sensitive, and with a more usable pattern length for performance when pulling back. At this price point, this is a great budget mic for live performance.

Used for livestream music. Worked well without excessive need to turn up the gain on mixer. Very little background noise/hiss. Sounded clear and picked up voices beautifully. Wish there were a on/off swith, but really can't beat the price.
