Sound: I have used cheap mikes and good mikes in my lifetime as a professional musician. But I just joined a new band and the mike I was using was starting to lose its sound quality, so I purchased a SM58 and took it to practice. The other musicians in the band were aslo using SM58's. I also had three of the R11's in my bag and I said I would like to try one of them out,so I hooked one up to the Pa and tried it out. The other people asked me what kind of mic I useing and I told them. They asked me how much they cost and when I told them they called me a lier. When we went to play our first job together in a very famous hotel, there were three R11's on the stage that night along with two SM58's. My SM58 was in my bag. These mics are as good as any and I am a singer with a very strong voice that has broken down other mics. Beleive me these are top of the line vocal mics. Feature: The on/off switch is a plus and something that the SM58 lacks Ease of Use: What can I say you plug it in and it almost speaks for itself Quality: Built like a tank. Very well made Value: As I said I used cheap mics in my lifetime that actually cost a lot more than these and what I got was a cheap mic. These are as good as a much more expensive mic. Manufacturer Support: I guess it would be OK if you ever needed it. But I don't think you can do anything to these mics to stop them from working The Wow Factor: I rated it the best but, what sex appeal can you find in a mic. No it is a nice mic and its black design just fades away on the stage which is a nice attribute. Overall: I exspect to keep using these mics for a long tome. If anything ever happens to these mics I will buy more of them to replace the ones that I have. I'll keep the SM58 in my bag but it will only come out if something happens to the R11's and then it will go back into the back after I replace the R11's with new ones. The price and the Quality of the sound is the key here. You will never ever beat it.

Sound: Read the next review....it says it all. I am a life long professional musician, also own a sound company and a recording studio. I always used the "old standard" SM57 and SM58 (still do!) for the sound company and my own live gigs. I got hired to do sound for a gig where I was afraid a lot of my gear might get stolen and/or trashed, so I bought 12 R11's, and left the good mikes at home. The R11's performed as well as my "other" mikes, nobody stole them because they were "cheapos", and 5 years later they are still going strong. I have had to take a few of them apart to straighten out the ball after they landed on the stage floor, or in one case on concrete after about a 30 foot flight, but every one of my original R11's still work! I'm buying a 3 pack for my son for Christmas. Get your SM 57's and 58's for the major gigs, and back them up with Samson R11's. You would be shocked if you read the list of people I have worked with who had no complaints about these mikes. I'll bet some of those people are on several of the CD's in your collection! Feature: Its a SM 58 copy, with an on-off switch......what else can I say? Quality: Mine all still work after some severe abuse! Value: Get several. They will save your butt several times over. I've even miked drums in a pinch with these things. Not the best, but they worked! Manufacturer Support: I don't know???? Never had to deal with them. It's a "throw away" mike for crying out loud! The Wow Factor: I ALWAYS throw a few of these in as a back up on every gig I do. Overall: For a cheap, throw away mike this is the best I have found. I have owned many different brands, and most cheap mikes sound like crap and don't hold up. The Samson R11's sound almost identical to a Shure SM 58, are durable, and are so cheap that nobody steals them!

Sound: We used it at rehearsal the other night and it blew us out of the water. It sounded great! No feedback problems (we rehearse in a small room)while increasing the volume. These mics came highly recommended from a recording studio. Feature: Like the on/off switch. Quality: Nice weight and solid feel. These mics will be the bands up front mics. Value: Great value!! Manufacturer Support: Not applicable at this time. The Wow Factor: I will be ordering another 3-pack. Overall: I expect to be purchasing, along with another 3-pack, a Samson wireless unit for the female vocalist. The sound quality is the best I've heard yet.

Sound: This mic mirrors most of what we love about SM58s at 2/3 of the cost. Feature: The easy to find on/off switch is a very helpful feature in our stage applications. We don't always have a sound man... Ease of Use: Durable and well made. Easy to find and use the on/off switch. Quality: Durable and well made. It takes abuse and performs well. The sound is quite good for the price. This mic mirrors most of what we love about SM58s at 2/3 of the cost. Value: The durability and sound are much better that one would expect for the cost. The Wow Factor: It is plain black and just disappears on stage... which is what we want! Overall: Durable and well made. It takes abuse and performs well. The sound is quite good for the price. It is great with vocals and instruments. We have minimal issues with feedback. This mic mirrors most of what we love about SM58s at 2/3 of the cost.

Sound: While there are defiantly mics that sound better, the r11 has to be near the best if not the best for the price. I use them mainly for vocals but i have done some work with acoustic guitars too. Feature: On off switch thats level with the mic Awsome feature Ease of Use: Plug and go Quality: Durable, can survive stage drops/etc Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed it, thats pretty good preventative support right there The Wow Factor: It looks nice on stage Overall: I expect 3 years out of these mics but i allready know ill get may more than 3.

Sound: The sound is great, and actually we have one female vocalist who has never sounded better than through the R11, but yet it does a great job with my deep bass voice, too. Feature: Of the three mics I got, one had the "on-off" plate upside-down. That's strange, but who looks at the switch anyway? It is a nice switch, though; very smooth and easy to use. The Wow Factor: I like the all-black scheme. Kind of "on-stage camouflage." Overall: I'm about to order three more. We have had other Samsons that have held up great, so I tried these. I'm sure glad I did.

Sound: I've been using these for years now, personally, I can't tell the difference between them and a ShureSM57 enough said.... Feature: Has an on-off switch. I own 6 of these mics, they have been rode hard and put away wet, and they all still work great, and none of the switches have failed. Ease of Use: Its as easy as any other mic like it, and built like a tank. Quality: Wish I could give them a 10+ here. These mics are built tougher than other mics costing 100's of dollars. Value: I cant believe one can get 3 of these, for less than 1 ShureSM57. (Dont take me wrong, I love Shure 57's and 58's) Manufacturer Support: Givin it a 10, simply cause I never needed support The Wow Factor: I dont think mics have sex appeal, unless you are some type of freak. Overall: I would definately replace them, if they keep making them so good, and have the great price. One thing thats sort of a drag, is getting all those mic stands to mic up the drums, I do think the smaller clip ons are much better for that, and of coarse my AKG-D118s BUT before I had my AKG kick, I did use one of these, and it wasn't bad, just not the same as the AKG, of coarse thats a 300 dollar mic.

Sound: I own this microphone. I bought it at Target because I wanted to replace some old cheap ones. I thought that it would be one of the bad microphones I was trying to replace. When I got it home I was amazed by how crisp and clear the sound was. I could hear everything I said as if I was saying it without a microphone. If you need a wired microphone for less, this is what u should get. Ease of Use: Very easy to use. Just plug it in and start talking. Quality: Made well. Heavy duty and will last a long time. The Wow Factor: Even good for singing.
