As good or even better than sm58.We've used the mic for over a year now repeatedly. After much use and drops it work great.An excellent price and a great product. I would purchase over an SM58 any day. I highly recommend and would buy myself again.

Well. That was unexpected. I figured twenty bucks it wasn't going to be too expensive a mistake if I hated it.Oh. My.WAY hotter than the SM57 I have to compare it to. Tested on a Behringer mixer, through some Tapco Thumps, this guy sounds very good, and is solidly built. VERY good off-axis noise reduction. This would be a very good mic when using floor wedges in this regard. Tested with a snare drum, kick drum, but with some terrible toms with bad heads on 'em. The snare and kick sound great, the lousy tom heads sounded lousy and loud. But with a well tuned, well cared for tom, I'm betting it will be a nice as well. This would not be very good for putting in between two drums (how I used to mic my rack toms with one mic) as the off axis noise rejection is so good. Rehearsal in two days will tell the tale of the others' opinions of the vocals.Totally unexpected quality for the low low dollars. I'll be buying more.Edit: Three gigs have passed. This thing is solid! I'm using it for my vocals. My vocal mic has always doubled in duty as my overhead for my drum set, as all the noise bounces off my face into the mic, i.e. cymbals, hats, ambient drum noise, etc. This is better for the isolation of my voice from the drums. It's a good mic! $20 well spent!Edit again: More gigs have gone by, ZERO regrets. This is a good mic! I just purchased three more, and I'll be doing some comparisons to make sure they are consistent in quality, output, etc. If I find any anomalies I'll post some more. One thing I should mention, the mic clip it came with works fine, but a tight fit.
