I bought this microphone after four of my shure sm 58's broke during a show. The band did pay me a good price for the shures but I wanted something a little less expensive as it was a month of a good deal of heavier shows coming through.

These microphones were much cheaper and felt just as well made and I knew my high school used to use them so I figured I'd give them a shot, in comparison they were quite a good deal similar picking up at the same frequencies as the industry standard SM58's but I noticed they did not seem as good at the lowest and top end of the spectrums.

These microphones ahve been dropped slammed off a wall and kicked across stage, the covers have fallen off but thats about the extent of their problems. They withstood the tests of live bar shows and though screaming bands give me feedback otherwise they have stood up well.
