the shure sm58 is the biggest piece of crap on the market. check out Audio Technica or Heil sound. and the 58 came out in the 80's. dude do your research before you claim to be an authority on this gear!

[RudeDog66]

@PageIdol69 Calm the fuck down asshat, I never said I was an authority or it was the best around I said it is "considered" one of the best all around mics available and is also "considered" an industry standard... My opinion has nothing to do with what is "considered" by and large by musicians the world over. And you should do your research too, it has been around for longer than the "80's". It has been produced since 1966! Look it up. That IS research!!!

Which mic do you think is better? The Shure or The Sennheiser? Also, have you ever used Samson & Neumann?

[RudeDog66]

@Chicago10281 I prefer Sennheiser but don't get me wrong, I love the Shure... I have used the other brands you mention but have a preference to the Sennheiser...

Lakers just won! :D

[RudeDog66]

@martincolorcoded I know!!! Gotta love that revenge, we got our vengeance!

[Thegr8t2]

Wow that's wierd. It's the most common Mic!

Just picked me up one today, I've been using a e835 for a year now and have been really happy with it. Your review helped me out, thanks dude almost bought a shure.

I'm a professional vocalist and just bought the Sennheiser e935 today. I spent at least 20 minutes at Guitar Center trying different mics out in their audio room. I really loved the full sound and presence and clarity it gives. The audio pro there even commented on the difference in the way I expressed myself on it verses the other mics. I think it will be great on gigs. Next step up will be the Neumann KMS 105 - but thats $700 lol

What do you think about the ''Shure Beta 58A'' ?

[FredThaHead]

The 58 is still good workhorse mic. The newer Beta 58 I find better for vocals, at least mine. Personally I have become a fan of large diaphragm condenser condenors for vocals. Pretty hard to use those for karaoke though. But a damn good one is the Rode NT2-A featuring switchable polar patterns, and now comes with a shock mount, pop filter, and high quality cable all for under 400 bucks.

I wanted to know about microphones, not the fact that you are a "rendetion artist."

[1chomps]

ok hope you answer this asap why? the past saturday I filmed a party unfortunately my onbord camera's mic could't handle the loud speakers since it was an small place, I have another party for saturday an I need a better mic to handle the big noise of those big speakers I went to sam ask which is a music store and they recommended the e935 my question is would you recommend it for loud recording situation ? I also would like to buy a preamp box would it help to reduce the mic's noise? pls help

@Vidmary777 I tested the 58a and the e935 in-store at guitar center for about an hour. Both mics were very similar sounding, but the Sennheiser was noticeably hotter/louder, and with very little feedback - which is handy in a rock band. I've sung with Shure 58's for a long time, and really like the brand - I use 57's for my guitar amp - but when it came to deciding between the beta and the e935, I went with the latter. I've been VERY happy
