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.
I saw this thing, and how inexpensive it was, and I was skeptical. But there were lots of good reviews, and it just looked so “vintage”, so “retro”... and the Amazon listing said “Free Returns”, so... nothing to lose...
I opened it up, plugged it in to a Behringer B205 powered speaker. I used one of my own XLR mic cables before trying the one that is included. It sounded very good, and seemed to have decent output. Then, just to see, I tried the cable they included... sounds about half as loud, gotta turn the level way up to hear anything at all. I have no idea why Pyle includes an XLR to 1/4” cable rather than a normal XLR cable.
So the sound is good, and the output is good if you don’t use their cable. I cannot comment on durability, since it just arrived; time will tell. But so far, I like this mic.
