Sound: Good sound! SHURE microphones in general hold the highest quality in sound. Not only is this microphone the super model chick of microphone hottness it sounds amazing and clear. Everyone can be a rock star with this mic. Feature: Of course it's fricken beautiful! The only thing I can do without is the on/off switch on the front. It is easy when performing on stage to move your hands/fingers and accidently turn it off when in the moment and getting crazy. Quality: Very durable! Value: a little expensive to me but I'm cheap & starving... Manufacturer Support: I <3 SHURE The Wow Factor: I want to marry it and have a thousand of it's babies! Overall: This microphone is timeless. I've always wanted one since I was a wee little one watching the movie Streets Of Fire. Diane Lane looked so hot using this microphone as a kidnapped singer/rock star in that movie!

Sound: After recording vocals with this microphone, I adjust the EQ gain knobs, and the middle-high band consistently has a "tin can" sound, and the gain on that band has to be lowered. The band between low and middle also becomes muddled and loses clarity if you increase the EQ gain, less so if you decrease the gain. If you are looking to get one decent vocal microphone, I'd definitely recommend getting a $100 condenser mic over this; I've had no such problems with a condenser mic. For use in performance, the mic doesn't have much presence, you really have to lean in up close to it, which is tough if you're strumming an acoustic guitar. Feature: The features I wish it had would be more presence, and no "tin can" sound. The Wow Factor: You've probably seen models posing with this mic in countless ads over the last couple of years, which is kind of lame, because now if you have it, then it looks like you're just posing too. And unfortunately it looks better than it sounds.
