Shure SM58 LC 5-stars Reviews

Standard

Nothing to argue about! One of the absolute most classical microphones, all time. Never breaks, always works.

It's not the best sound, compared to expensive recording microphones and such. But there really is nothing to complain about. This is a standard microphone for a reason.

Shure SM58 LC Review

I think that everything is said for this product. In short terms - in my and my band's opinion - the best mic on the market. Versatile, well built, strong, great tone and good looks. If someone's buying a mic, without knowing what to buy - this is a product with no mistake, you cannot miss with this one.

Great mic, industry standard for a reason.

Recently got one of these and have used it regularly for gigging. Excellent mic, good sound, sturdy microphone and it comes with a mic stand attachment and a small gig bag. No bells and whistles but no need for them either. This mic has never let me down and almost everywhere I go to gig you'll see a Shure SM58s lined up on stage. Probably not the best mic in the world but for the price it's ideal for anyone doing pub/club gigs or small time recording.

Excellent

Excellent robust microphone.

The best for the money

For this price you simply won't get a better stage mic. Sounds perfect, REALLY STURDY, and nice overall. I saw in YouTube where a guy drove over it with his car and put it on the bbq, still worked!

Can't go wrong!

Can't go wrong with SM58s. They are everywhere, and there's a reason for that! They sound good and are practically indestructible. One of the best live stage mics out there. You won't be disappointed with an SM58.

What can you say about this mic that hasn't already been said?

If you are a person unsure what vocal mic to buy listen to this, I bought this mic 8 years ago and it still works despite getting a hammering over time. It's been used primarily for vocals, but as a drummer, it has covered many other jobs (due to other mics failing) I've used in on my snare and even as an overhead, and when EQ'd correctly, your drums can sound huge, both in studio and live.

These are durable and one of the best sounding mics ever to be designed and built.

best mic ever

I own a shure sm 58 microphone for 5 years (still in great condition) and i recently bought another 2 of them.

Is extremely solid , it sounds great and is good value for money. They are good for home studio and for live performances.

Trusty microphone!

I've used the SM58's for several years now; back in the day giggin' and nowadays just foolin' around at home. This one I mainly use through GJ2 to iphone; works well as expected. Great mic for the price!

Better than expected

I bought this because of the brilliant sound quality that they provide, i wouldn't hesitate to buy another, just as i expect a good microphone to be. Clear sound quality and a good build quality. A very good microphone overall

Bulletproof

This is an industry standard mic. To the extent that the word 'microphone' is often just replaced with 'sm58'

I've bought a few of these of the years (not as replacement, as additional mics) and they are constantly good, they just don't break.

Do it.

Industry standard and rightly so

Many of my positive comments regarding SM57's also apply to their cousin the SM58. These guys are the sstaple live venue microphone of choice.

Their frequency response is typically ideal for vocals, though adaptable enough to be turned to a number of other applications in a bind, especially brass instrumentation.

The absolute key here though is durability. You could throw an SM58 under a train and use it the next night. It took a year of constant useage for our last set of these to start to deteriorate in any perceivable manner and when you consider that they were being hurled around by hardcore punk singers every few days that is high praise indeed.

Brilliant bits of audio equipment absolutely perfect for any music venue.

Warning: Make sure you buy these from a reputable retailer as past experience saw us mistakenly buy Chinese-made cheap copies of these (virtually identical) and they were absolutely dreadful. SM58's always go for around the same price. If you see them significantly cheaper elsewhere, be very very wary.

Sure Sm58 - Workhorse

This mike has got a ridiculous amount of use and sounds great on everything I've used it on! It's the industry standard for a reason!It's one of the best and especially for the money! They're essentially indestructible but is still one of the best dynamic mikes on the market! 5 stars!!

Best mic in the business

Industry standard by all means, you can't go wrong with the Shure sm 58. Ideal for live performances or speeches. For recording purposes, the sm58's along with other dynamic mics are really only suited to rock vocals. For the most part, condenser mics should be used when recording, but there's absolutely no harm in using both. Excellent mic. Reliable and sturdy, great sound quality.

Legendary Mic

Home-studio singers/producers with untreated rooms, get this one! Yeah i know it doesn't look cool like the big condensed microphones but in your case, you need a dynamic so you don't capture the sound of cars passing down the street or neighbor's dog barking. Even professional studios use a bunch of Sm58s for multiple purposes! Must have in every studio!

Great microphone!

I'm using it for both singing/voice recording and as an instrument mic, usually in front of a 2x12 cab and I am very happy with it. It produces great sounds that give you a professional feeling. Highly recommended!

Perfect:)

Balance,sound,quality can't ask for more:) I am very happy that I have it this microphone because the sound which is coming from is incredible! Now I will have a chance to try myself in the higher level of singing which is very enjoyable:) I am singing many times on karaoke events and I am finding very helpful that I can practice at home with this lovely mic.I need to say that I have a professional item for really reasonable price and I will recommend a to all my friends because it is perfect for a gift and even to simply have it at home for your own.So I am starting know my career as a singer :)

A Legend. Unbeaten. A Great Microphone.

Bought this as a first microphone for a studio project and live performance.

I didn't want to spend a lot of money. But I also wanted to get something good.

The SM58 has always been dubbed the "legendary" vocal mic. The standard to which every other vocal mic is compared to, and well, it's easy to see why.

It is of impeccable build quality, there is simply no way to find any fault in it and it can take some serious wear and still function perfectly, this is one extremely durable microphone.

The sound is very natural and true to your ears, what you get from the SM58 is basically what you can hear.

It is a great microphone.

It will always remain a legend, and rightly so.

Invincible!

The mic sounds amazing! and i think the SM58 is well known enough that everybody knows how great it sounds! you will hear it used by most bands you go to see and that is for a reason! it just sounds fantastic!

but the best thing about this mic for me is not its amazing sound, its the durability!i am buying another one for use in my band, but i have had this microphone for years! and i have put it through some serious punishment, it has been dropped on hard surfaces probably hundreds of times, the grill on my old sm 58 looks as though it has been dropped off a building, but the microphone still works perfectly. Absolutely amazing piece of kit! i would recommend this above all over microphones for use in a live situation!

5/5
