Great performance mic.

I use Shure SH55 Series II mostly for recording purposes. Voice and all kinds of guitars. The delivery was fast as usual. Very good product for this price.

The Mike has great sound

I love this mike, its sound is stunning, however if you are anyway breathy it will train you how to work better with that as it picks up on that easily. We use this with the Fender 100 and it's a gorgeous sound.

The classic!

If you are looking for the perfect vocal sound, I would recommend you buying another mic as this one sounds a bit flat. But it's the looks that make this mike the one to go after! Good build quality, too.

Classic sure quality and sound

Well, I was using this model previously, its classic already. Best quality/price combination. If you want simpler design you could buy 58 model - it has the same inside and it will be a bit cheaper, but I need mic for live performance so I have chosen this one.

Classic sure quality, durability and sound.

Concreet!

Like concreet and build like a tank!

We use it for recordings in sessions where we don't sounds of the room in the singing mic

It has the looks

That’s a damn sexy microphone, beautifully made, and very sturdy. However there are some issues with it:

1. In loud rehearsals and gigs it doesn’t stand out and cut through the mix no matter how you will eq it.

2. Compared to other Shure microphones is very silent, even if you max the volume in the console it doesn’t get louder. I was rehearsing with my band and with the same channel settings the SM 58 was 2dB louder.

It’s not a bad microphone however I feel the SM58 is more suitable for rehearsals.

I’m currently using it in my home studio only

It is what it is.

Great for the look, and works well for quiet intimate cafe/restaurant gigs.

But I found it not the best for larger, louder gigs it struggled to cut through the mix and turning it up only resulted in feedback.

I found myself sing with my lips having to touch the casing nearly.

But at the end of the day, it is what it is. If you want the mic that looks vintage, this is the one and only original.
