Feature:
none
Quality:
Have played with people using shures for the last 35 years and I've never seen a problem. Tough mike
Value:
compare it yourself to any mike at this price
Desirability:
i got it
Sound:
I cant believe the people who say it sounds like crap. Our lead singer was talked into an electrovoice by a salesman in a music store and told it is much better than the shure beta and the sm58. I have been using an electrovoice condenster style for years and got tired of the batteries going dead so i just got a new sm58. Funny thing happened during the first sound check, the lead vocalists electrovoice sounded like crap but the sm58 sounded just beautiful. I had to end up letting him use the shure and got stuck using the electrovoice. Dont believe all the crap about every mike will blow away an sm58, your typical salesman's line. Tell me why they are comparing evering thing to an sm58 and not the others? Because everyone knows the reputation of this mike. Take one out and do a side by side comparison with anything in its price range and i bet you will be amazed as i was.
Ease of Use:
It sounds so good it doesnt need aot of fooling around with during a sound check, even sounds good flat. So easy to get a good sound from.
Support:
never needed it
Overall:
There is a reason this mike is still the industry standard, you dont get a good reputation from sounding crappy.

Feature:
Well, its a mic, there is one with, and one without a switch
Quality:
Yes, it is good quality, but this is of no importance due to the fact that the newer SM58 is a muddy, a not good sounding mic, at least not for vocals
Value:
To say it outright, the new SM58 is a horrible sounding mic compared to the older version. For the price there is a big choice of other mics that sound better, much better in fact
Desirability:
I have got one which I bought about 2 years ago and I am not using it due to the here mentioned facts
Sound:
I own a new SM 58 since about two years now. Sorry to say that when using this mic you wonder why the SM58 has become such a popular microphone. To answer this question you should understand that there is a big difference between the newer and the older Shure SM58. While an old 58 really is a nice sounding mic on vocals, the new SM58 is a muddy sounding mic. It is unclear why shure has changed the manufacturing process of the SM58, but its is a fact that a newer version of this mic is not what it once used to be. While I can recommend the old SM58 Iwould strongly advice to not to buy the muddy sounding newer SM58
Ease of Use:
as any dynamic microphone
Support:
Do not know
Overall:
There are better mics for the same price. If you find an old SM58 - OK, but stay clear of a new one.
