Amazing budget microphone

Solid build quality and sounds almost as good as some of the other mics just with a warmer tone. Make sure to pick up a cheap pop filter along with this as the mic kinda struggles without it.

Best mic you could get as a beginner and for this price

Best Mic for its price range! This thing is an incredible quality item for what its worth. I was skeptical because of the price but in terms of quality for recording vocals. This mic is better than my Rode NT1A Which cost over $100. So this mic is well worth its value. I get some pretty good vocals with this. Honestly, super impressed with its performance and durability

Great Value for the Price

These mics sound too good to be $18 microphones. They are awesome for a mobile sound system and recording multiple people for podcasts out of studio. Accidents do happen when doing sound or recording for live events. These mics will do a good job and are affordable to replace when accidents do happen.

Decent mic

Its way brighter and a bit weaker than an SM58, but with some EQ cleans up nice.

Best budget mics for the average working band

Amazing value for a 5 pack of mics. Solid sounding midrange with big bottom. Takes EQ well, cardiod polar pattern and feedback rejection is average. Does it sound like an SM58? Close but not quite. They compare well in feel, weight and tone but are slightly "tubby" or bigger sounding. A little low end roll off with EQ helps clean up the bottom.

Works great alongside a Shure SM58!

Bought two of these, to supplement a Shure SM58 for our band. I've used them as vocal mics, and in front of guitar amps and they work great!

Insanely cheap pro microphone. Heavy duty. Does what it should.

Workhorse

At 20% the cost of a SM58 it is a great backup or primary announcement mic. If I was singing I would buy the Shure. It is rugged and it feels good in your hand but it doesn't have the presence rise that the more expensive mics have.
