Shure SM58S Cardioid Dynamic Vocal Microphone with On/Off Switch Reviews

From a hardwired reviewer (direct feed via cable into speaker unit): This microphone carries well, comes out with clean sound and truly picks up a voice. The only downfall is that it will pick up wind if it is relatively windy outside. I recommend a microphone cover to help dull the amount of wind that hits the head of the microphone. Otherwise, great prodcut!

The Shure SM58 is a legend for a reason. It's a tank that delivers great sound time after time.

Very dependable!

Sturdy and reliable as with all Shure mics I have used over the years.

I'm a drummer who also does some backing vocals (you definitely don't want me singing lead vocals on ANYTHING, ha ha!), and I've been using a Shure AXS3 mic with a switch, so I can turn it off and swing it out of the way when not needed. The problem is, the switch on the AXS3 is pretty small and not easy to find in the dark on a blacked-out stage. The problem is worse when I'm wearing drumming gloves, I can't see or feel the switch! The SM58S has solved those problems for me, as the switch is much larger and easier to find strictly by feel. Of course the tonal quality of the SM58 is legendary, so I also ended up with a better sounding mic, a win-win situation!

I have 4 shure sm58s mics and they work very well. Just added 2 more making it 6 mics now so I now have spares. I have discarded 4 cheaper mics because of poor quality. The real problem was not the mics but older mic cords. replaced 2 mic cords and all is well again.

For decades and from one century to the next, Shure has always been my standard of the industry. It's built like a tank, I've never had a problem, ever, with Shure SM-58 or Shure SM-58S. Made for the road, ;packing, unpacking, setting up, and packing again, week after week and month after month. Thank you, Shure, and Sweetwater.

I don't see how you can beat this guy for the money!

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Great mic. Great quality.

Great mic for live performance!! The new unisphere A that I used back in the 70's!

Shure microphones are and have always been great. They are durable and reliable. The SM58Sdoes not disappoint in the least!

As a novice performer with only one year professional experience and just now try my hand as a small scale promoter, it SURE helps to have reliable gear with a trusted source of supply!!! Would I buy another microphone from Sweetwater??? I SURE WOULD!!!!!

This is great all around microphone and is an industry standard. Many professional musicians use it because it's one of the best!

I've been playing music for over 55 hears..maybe more..when I need a mic I just buy a Shure. Doesn't everybody? They work, they don't break and you can count on them to always be dependable. WHEN I NEED A MIC I BUY A SHURE..

Great all around mic for instruments and vocals.
I like the on/off switch for home studio, I use this as a talkback mic for musicians with headphones.. it's easy to leave the talkback mic in record enable mode.
I did some vocals for a song with this SM58, and it's perfectly balanced, full bodied muds, not overly sibilant.

Same workhorse I used back in the 70s and 80s. Gets the job done.

I was tired of having to borrow others' mics when I played gigs without PA and no phantom pawer from my keyboard amp. This is exactly what I needed at a reasonable price and quick delivery from placing my order.

The first person to use this microphone just happened to be Jimi Hendrix's little brother Leon Hendrix for his 75th birthday party bash in Seattle.
Long story short there was no complaints about any vocals!

No matter why you use a microphone, nobody wants it to be troublesome while being used. Shure SM58 has set the standard for quality vocal microphones that sound great and can stand up to expectations for reliabilty. The fact that is affordable makes it my go-to choice as a general purpose microphone. And, of course, Sweetwater delivered it quickly.

Great mic with a great sound. Definitely buy the one with the on/off switch. It's so much easier than relying on muting at the mixer.

Easy to use. Love the on and off button

We purchased this mic for sports announcing through a gymnasium PA. It sounds excellent with very little eq! It's balanced and full. Having the on / off switch is a huge win, as well! It gives the announcer some gained flexibility while talking to an official or a player. I'd highly reccommend it!

There are other microphones but this one has been consistent for me. I have used these for years and the price is reasonable. There are many microphones that are just as good but none are better. Good. Sound and range. My partner and I use them in our show.

absolutely love this mic. if you play live, you should get 2. : )

This is a wonderful microphone that works exactly as we hoped. It has replaced a poor-quality mic that we use at our synagogue for Zoom services. The quality is excellent, and the price was very reasonable. I will continue to use Sweekwater for the rest of our audio needs.

This mic gives me what I want and has the quality sound that Shure is known for. Since I am only a background vocalist, the on/off switch allows me to turn the mic off when not in use, preventing any unnecessary sound from being played through the P.A.

I am not a sound person but have been doing music for more years than I want to claim (in other words I am old as methuselah). I have used Shure SM58 microphones for years. These are truly workhorses! I love these microphones for their durability, great sound, ability to set up microphones for multiple purposes. These are vocal microphones but I have used these in front of small choirs, as solo microphones, on stands, handheld, in front of guitars that did not have built in electronics, to augment a small portable PA into the house sound when necessary. I have used them inside Churches, halls, outdoors, living rooms and small venues. These are super microphones! They are not fancy but if you want true, rich sound in a sturdy build, this is the best microphone I have used.

Best mic I've owned. Everything is crystal clear!

I've used Shure mics for 45 years. In my opinion you can't argue with the test of time. A big thank you to Sweetwater for getting the new mic to me so quickly and in great shape. It performs as expected. Flawless!
Thanks again,
Jim

Very good thaks for sweetwater

The Mic picks up your voice with clear marked sound perfect for a small band group we love that we have them a solid pice of necessary equipment.

I'm not a microphone guru, but I like the way this mic sounds through my audio interface. It sounds better than my podmic.

Excellent I always get a prompt and on time I like Sweetwater

Will use the speaker and mic at my daughter's upcoming wedding and it will be perfect! I was surprised at how far I could take the microphone away from the speaker using Wi-Fi. I want to hide the speaker so the audience can't see it and this will work well. The Mic is a little sensitive to hand movement so I found it best to grasp it firmly and the noise or static sound goes away. The very best part is dealing with the pros at Sweetwater who always follow up on the purchase and are helpful in many many ways. Could've purchased the same thing on Amazon but makes absolutely no sense when you can also get the pros at Sweetwater at no extra cost!

The female set-screw threading on the mic that keeps the switch guard in the on or off position stripped the first time I moved the screw. That REALLY disappointed me.

This is the first microphone I have purchased. I did my research and found it would be hard to beat the Shure SM58 for a long lasting and true sounding mic. Being a biginner all I can say is I like the "feel" of this mic, it just feels like very high quality (weight and construction) and for the little I have used it works great. I have no complaints and would recomend it.

Since 1965/1966 the SM57 & SM58 have been THE workhorse mics. The most popular mics in history famed for their great sound and durability. The toughest mics ever built. They are really the same mic, but the SM58 has the iconic ball end that is a windscreen (for singing), which can be unscrewed and cleaned & sterilized. The SM58s has an on/off switch which is a must for me because I often need to briefly speak to my fellow musicians between songs and I don't want to broadcast those conversations. Literally hundreds of thousands of musicians for decades can't be wrong and you can't go wrong buying one of these.

I purchased the ms58s

Works perfectly like you would expect from Sweetwater.

Very good cardioid mic to reduce background and feedback from front sound source. I am a baritone-bass and compared it to my two other cardioid vocal mics - Heil PR22 and Audio Technica AE5400. Superior for me to the PR22 which had weak bass and irritating highs. The AE5400 which is a condenser and much more expensive mic was "livelier" than the SM58 and requires much less gain, of course.

As a longtime musician that used Shure mics, I knew that I could still, after so many years ago, rely on a quality product such as Shure!

I will buy all of my musical needs from Sweetwater. They have a seemless return system and are very helpful. I can't say enough good things about Sweetwater.

SHURE microphones are the best overall mic's SM 57, SM 58, and more, for best use of live performance, mic'ing the drums, amps, and use for Live Vocals...I prefer the SM 58 with On-Off Switch. For roughly a hundred bucks you can't go wrong. Durable, road worthy, and dependable, your best bet is SHURE microphone. My next SHURE will be wireless, B 87 series...

I gave my 30 year old one away and got me a new one. This mic is still the boss for live performers. My new one is just as good as the old one. The old one was still a champ but I gave it to a my singing partner. Huge value and incredible sound. I bought two other mics from another company in this price range and they do not compare. This mic has the range you need to sound great. Get one.

This mic is solid for me. I use it as a general mic for voice, vocal recording, and some instrumental recording- it's just my go-to mic anytime I need one. Obviously this is intended primarily for vocals, but I actually really like how well it does on high gain guitars. Long story short, used it for metal guitar tracking one day as it's all I had, and it still provided some pretty great results. More high end than something like an SM57, but this might be a good instrumental recording mic for you as well if you're going for high end. Again, a great solid mic that can be used for basically anything and can take abuse. Cannot recommend it enough!

I've been using SM58 mics for years. They are rugged and dependable with excellent sound quality. They work well for live performance and recording. This one, with the on and off switch (S), is especially good for live performance; switch off to avoid power and volume changes during breaks in the action or after your sound check and before you actually start the show. A few extra dollars for the switch avoids pounds of downtime hassle; put another way, the switch back helps avoid feed back in times when you are not in immediate control of your instrument and vocal mic.

It's a classic for a reason!

My Dad bought this as he is getting back into singing. He has had a wonderful time using a top of the line product, in fact he switched to Sweetwater after having a bad experience on Amazon.

Sweetwater Sales Engineer called a week or two after we had received it to check how things are going. Great customer service!

Bought 2 of these to be used by the announcer in a High School football stadium. After personally using these for decades in a band setting, I knew, first hand, the absolute quality and durability of these mics. So, when the High School that I work at needed to replace the mics in the Press Box (mics that sit out in the extreme heat and cold for years on end, and are used by multiple people). There really was "only one choice"! P.S. We also purchased 2 of the Shure SM58 handheld wireless mic systems for use on the track and football field, but that's another review!

Love this mic so far. No issues, works fine. On and off switch is great addition.

Shure's SM58 mics are the best sounding, most reliable workhorse microphones around. They are sturdy, and always deliver top shelf sound right out of the box.

This is the second Shure SM58S microphone I've purchased from Sweetwater. It's a great microphone for the money and I couldn't be happier. Sweetwater is my first choice when shopping for new gear.

Tom

If you want to play live, or record, this mic is a good standard tool with quality output that everyone should have in thier toolbox.

I've heard some better mics but if you better have a phenomenal singing voice to use them. This is the 4th SM-58 mic I've bought in twenty years. They all works excellently. We use a mixing board and vocal pedals to make some of us sounds good. I've tried some clearer mics but I have to deaden the sound to cover the flaws.
This is the best mic ever. It's a challenge to break one and the on and off switch site is worth the extra five bucks. Highly recommend.

es el mejor microfono de calidad y precio los materiales de buena calidad y calidad de audio super buena

I love these new mics. They add on with my old SM58's. Love the clarity and durability. The silent switch is a great plus too! Thanks Sweetwater for great products!

Shure SM58 has long been regarded as a quality vocal microphone. It has lived up to it's reputation.

I've used these for decades. Never had a failure.

Received on time and works well. Great customer sevice.

Outstanding product and delivery was quick ....package was wrapped well, I live overseas and have never received a purchased product with shipping damage.

this mic is great, sounds great, excellent quality. I highly recommend!

This is a amazing microphone, always great. Nice sound and too clear. I have been using it since 1973 im performance and bands. Great purchase.

the Sweetwater is one of the best company in musical instrument. I live in Miami Florida walking distance to Guitar Center bath I purchase my musical instrument from Sweetwater they are extremely professional an excellent tech on site above all they are very honest an excellent price thanks to everyone of them

SM-58s are, without a doubt, the toughest and most useful stage mics anywhere. I've had mine for 25 years, have used it for hundreds of gigs, and it has never failed to work like a charm. You can pretty much mic anything with these things--vocals, guitars, drums, etc., and sound good. Plus, it's built like a tank. (I've heard that some people have used an SM-58 as a substitute for a hammer. I don't necessarily recommend that, but I do know they are tough little mics.) You cannot go wrong with an SM-58 if you want a great-sounding stage mic that will hold up to lots of use and stand the test of time.

I am a complete beginner who, at an advanced age (!), is trying home recording for the first time. I placed an order with Sweetwater for this mic and a couple of other items, and added a quick question in the notes. To my astonishment, a representative phoned me within half an hour to answer my question and see what else he could do to get me started on my project. Everything arrived on schedule, and am I'm moving ahead with the project. But the most important thing was that I had confidence in the choices I have made after my conversations with the fellow at Sweetwater.

With the virus being here and most stores closed, I wanted a new microphone. Well Sweetwater came through again with a bundle package saving me money. We are a distance apart with me being in California but they ship right away and the items get delivered in a reasonable time. The customer service is fantastic with them checking in all the way through delivery.

This time I even got an email with helpful hints on things that I can use and also the rest of the band. I shared the information with them on mic'ing up amps and they were impressed and agree we need to look into those details.

This is who I use if I need to order musical products and I recommend you do too. Thank you Sweetwater!

This mic is truly remarkable. The sound it has to offer is amazing. Crystal clear, and it also helps boost the volume of my underpowered PA. I am more than happy in regards to this purchase.

The Shure SM58 is basically the standard for live vocals. Pretty much anywhere you go where a band is playing, they are using one. The SM58S is just an SM58 with an on/off switch. It's about 5 dollars more than a regular SM58, so it's well worth the extra money. The SM58S is just your basic dynamic microphone with the usual proximity effect and cardioid polar pattern. Like any Shure product, if you take good care of it, it will last a very long time. Even if you don't, you can always buy a replacement grille, should you happen to drop it a lot.

This mic works great no feedback in close spaces. I think im in love with it.get one see how you like it.

Still the good ol'SM58 except I have an on-off switch with this one which seems to be pretty solid also! Sweetwater is really on it with ordering and shipping and my friend Shaka for following up on products! They're Sweetwater t-shirts are really nice too! Bought one for half price with my order. Thanks Sweetwater!

Great voice reproduction and clairity. Great value for the money.

I loved having the option for stand, mic and cords all in one low price. Thanks!

This Shure SM58S is one of many Shure mics I have owned over a 40 year musical career. You can't go wrong with this workhorse. Always get the "S" models. That switch can save you a lot of problems. As always, Sweetwater is the best!

It produces nice smooth sound and the microphone feels sturdy too! Hope this would last for a very long time :)

Awesome mic very clear & great mic stand. Fast shipping very good customer service. Thanks Sweetwater Also love the T Shirt

What can you say about an sm58s that hasn't been said. Exactly what I expected and don't have to worry about sound. If you need a mic, then don't even debate the choices. the choice has already been made, about 50 years ago.

Shure has always been my go to mic for any
occasion, for me, the best in the West!

Good feel, good sound and an off /on switch which is handy for round about sessions.
Has a better coverage area then my old mike. This one picks up my banjo when I"m singing so I don"t need a second mike

Nice and solid! Dependable. Having the on/off switch is nice.

I ordered this mic on Tuesday, it arrived Friday, and used it at a gig Saturday night. This is a great mic, the frequency response is supurb. It is very quiet, very little hissing. And as always, Sweetwater is wonderful to deal with, especially my sales engineer Shelby. Thanks Sweetwater.

Great all around Mic. And the 3 payment plan was perfect.

Always impressed with Shure microphones. I especially love this model to keep at foh for talking to bands in the monitors.

The best, as stated by the whole world! Loud, crystal clear, and weighty. You can hear and feel the Shure quality.

No wonder this is considered an industry standard. I have used several mics costing less in order to save a few bucks. Don't bother with that. It took one practice song to know this is the one for me. Now I have to concentrate on my making my vocals better because this mic reveals everything.......

What can I say, They're made to last. Can't beat the quality, or great sound. The price isn't bad neither. I still have and use the first one I bought over twenty five years ago, and it still works great.

This is my 3rd. SM58 mic. They look good, sound good, and are sturdy built. I have one SM58 that is over 20 years old, but no switch built in. I have other mics also. One is a Shure BG2.0 with an off/on switch. It is over 20 years old also. For us, they stand the test of time. The older ones have been dropped before. They remind me of the watch that takes a licking and keeps on ticking. I do feel that the SM58's sound the best. ( I'm glad that Shure has left a good thing alone. I hate it when companies keep changing things and most the time, I think they mess up the good thing they had, even though they tell you, we upgraded it. I used to have cell phone service out here in the country. It usually worked. Then it was up graded. Now it rarely works.) I won't buy any mics that don't have an on/off switch built into them any more. It is a feature worth the extra cost. If the feed back strarts, just switch the mics off and on to figure out which one is doing it and then fix the problem. If you're finished using a mic for awhile you can just shut it off with out messing with your controls on the sound board or PA also. Once you have that stuff dialed in, do you really want to keep changing the control positions? Different singers need more or less volume and different tone adjustments.

Sweetwater has great service and the free shipping is really great too. Items always arrive on time right to my front porch and it saves me a 50 mile round trip to the local music store. They stand behind what they sell too, unlike another place I deal with. That outfit gives you a short guarantee and then you have to pay about 20% more to get a longer one. Twice when I had a problem with something and took it back, I was told, oh, that's a manufacture problem call them. I thought that I paid extra for store's help with that. OH WELL ! They did give me a phone number to call.

I guess there may be a better-sounding, affordable, road-worthy vocal microphone out there, but they forgot to send it to this Solar System.

The Shure 58s is keeps the 58 at the top and at Sweetwater great pricing

I've been using 58s and 57s for over thirty years. They are absolutely reliable and built like a tank. For most of that time they were just stuffed into the zipper bag and thrown in with the other gear. There is little need for an expensive road case for these mics. A padded messenger bag with waterjet cut foam insert will do nicely and cost next to nothing.

About the only things I haven't done with the 58 are the Roger Daltrey swing* and the David Lee Roth nose-breaker but I've dropped (and even crushed) them in just about every way imaginable and other than minor scratches, they take it without a problem. It is possible to dent the ball but you'd have to give it a mighty whack to do so and replacement balls are inexpensive, as are replacement inner windscreens. External windscreens are also available for next-to-nothing and I keep a stash of them. If someone is sick, I'll toss the external screen at the end of the show and pop on a new one.

The 58 is definitely a live performance mic and it can work in the studio as well, although in a controlled studio environment there are other mics that are better suited and much more sensitive, which gives the engineer more to work with.

I prefer the SM58S as I do not have a sound man and there are times when setting up that you need to kill the sound from the stage. If you do not need this, there is a slider with a set screw for setting the mic to always on. For an extra $5 it is well worth it. You'll have this mic for years, so why not.

* You may notice in the old videos how they tape the heck out of the cable connection on Daltrey's mics. This is because on one occasion a connector on a cable failed and the mic flew around 130 feet. Nobody went to hospital but with the weight of this mic they easily could have. The roadie replaced the ball cover and it was as good as new.

What more can be said about the greatest vocal mic in history?

Sweetwater's Service is great and the shipping is really quick compared to other companies I have ordered from. The last two orders, I ordered on Monday morning and the order was on my front porch on Friday morning that same week. It's really nice to not have to wait 2 weeks to receive your stuff. The Shure Microphone works great and it is really nice to have an on/off switch on the mic for when you aren't using it or you have a feed back problem. I have other Shure mics and they all work good. They pick up sounds better and sound better than other brands I have used.

Reliable, clear, much prefer the one with the on and off button.

I needed another mike for our Jam Session, so I went with the standard that has been around for years and everyone knows delivers.

I had a Shure mic in the sixties, and when I purchased this one I was not disappointed, still a great sound.

Sweetwater is my choice for any gear I need.

The product arrived fast and packed very professionally. They also inclusive catalogue for their store and many other flyers inclusive. I am very satisfy with the stuffs I have ordered and will for sure ti buy fron here again. The reasons I gave 5 stars because of the packing and well organised materials inside the box. As compared to other companies..this is marvellous with the 1st look when I received the package.

You can't go wrong with this mic.

the shure sm58s has a very clear natural sound (we love them)

Industry standard lives up to it's reputation.

I confess that I was "Blown Away" by the quality of sound from our new SM58. We used it at a school reunion inside the school cafeteria. With no effects, run through a Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro mixer to SRM450 active speakers. It most definitely out-performed our more expensive condenser microphone used at the save event. It also does amazingly well at home miking a cello, run through a small Europort EPS500MP3 with a wee bit of reverb.

I've actually been using these for 20 years and just picked up another one at Sweetwater.
We use them for all the vocals as well as miking our guitar cabs and snare drum. We even use them for special purposes like recording from a cell phone or a special kind of speaker.
It's always clear. Thanx

THIS MIC IS AWESOME!!! It delivers the sound that I want. Very smooth sound. Makes my voice sound even better than it already is. No hissing,can't hear when I touch it,and only wants to pick up what I am doing and nothing else. I LOVE IT! For the price,you are getting the best quality,

This is my first and only microphone purchase. I use it for home recording combined with other modest equipment. Seems to be quite durable & routes authentic sound production through my Roland amplifier. For one "C-note," I can't complain.

Almost got the Audix OM2 for our female vocals, but in the end, the SM58 did it's traditional marvelous job. Used a Soundcraft mixer that has a swept MID-cutoff. That help with female vocals. They sounded rich, and sweet. This mic is rugged. Its Inerds are pneumatically mounted. Very little handling noise. Great mic, great durability.

Had to replace identical mic cuz I lost my other one after 15 years service. The new one is even better! Warm sound, reliable. I got the one with the on-off switch - very helpful and not difficult to find or flick on and off like some mics.

Great buy!

My first mic with an on/off switch - I love it!! Of course, the mic itself is your typical 'workhorse' of a microphone - nothing fancy, but does the job well, and will continue for many, many years. Can't go wrong with this mic for vocals in my rock band!

This is the best microphone I have ever owned. The cardioid pattern keeps out unwanted, and/or ambient noises while the intended vocals are reproduced as clear as a bell. The gain this microphone is capable of is just about perfect. There is a reason the SM58 is the best selling microphone in the world. The addition of an on/off switch really puts this mic over the top as one of (if not) the best values in microphones on the market today. For vocals, and even some instrument use, you can't go wrong with this one.

Many thanks to the staff. They were very helpful with the equipment I needed (shure microphones) and it was delivered promptly.

I needed a back up mic to go along with my DJ rig. I already have a wireless mic product by Shure. I'm pretty confident that this mic will fill the for my main mic in case I need it. The Shure product stands the test of time!!!

Warp speed on response and shipping! Now my first place to shop for gear.

These history of these mikes speak for themselves. The real story here is Sweetwater's outstanding service, advice, and people. All have been 5.0 for me and my music needs.

The SM58 is famous for its use in live stage work, and for good reason: good sound, legendary durability, and good off-axis rejection. But I'd like to tell a story about the SM58 in a recording setting. I have a Neumann TLM-193 and a Blue Spark, and I'm always striving to get the best sound out of them, you know... "that" sound. The other day, I listened to a song by a fellow home studio recordist, a very talented 19-year-old. The whole production was outstanding, and it was the first time this guy had included vocals in a song. "Your vox sound fantastic," I said to him. "What mic are you using?" "An old SM58." "The piano sounds great, too, is that a vst or a real piano?" "Real. I mic'ed it with the same SM58." "And the violin?" "Same SM58."

So, he was getting at least the same (if not better) results from an SM-58 run through an el cheapo ART tube pre-amp as I was running my precious Neumann through a much more expensive front end. Of course, skill has a lot to do with sound quality -- but this kid has no real technical recording knowledge. He just pointed the mic at the source and moved it around until it sounded good. And in any case, if it really is all about skill, why spend more than the cost of an SM58, especially if it's this versatile?

The same bomb proof reliability and flexibility the 58 is famous for with athe addition of a handy switch! Perfect for using the 58 as the lead mic for vocals or a speaking gig.

I have 2 other mics that look like the SM58, but they sure don't sound like the SM58. The difference is definitely in the quality of this Shure product. I'm happy!

I just simply love it. It's my best purchase on wireless microphone to date.

Actually, I love buying all of my equipment through Sweetwater. I have been an active customer for a few years now. Thanks Sweetwater.

This is the second one that I have owned. I find them to be excellent for what I use it for. Like the on/off switch.

i have used shure mics for over 60 years i still have my first shure mic and it still works fine the sm 58 s as far as im concernd is best on the market

This microphone has always been an excellent choice for musicians and now it's even better with the off/on switch. Lots of bang for the buck.

Excellent mic! Bought it for our grandson - a talented young man.

In searching for replacement microphones and stands for our school auditorium, I requested recommendations and quotes from a local vendor who originally installed our sound system. The response was extremely slow and the quote that finally came was completely off target. I came across Sweetwater in a search of the internet. I made the same request of them and received a quote with tons of information within hours. The next day, I had new microphones and stands in place, just in time for a big student performance. I could not have been happier with the products and service I received.

For the last 40 years the SM58s mic has been providing consistent quality, dependability and service. Surely this one will do the same. Thanks Shure for the quality!

The SM58S clobbers the compilation out there in my opinion. I've been performing for more than 56 years, and though I myself should sound better than I now do, the SM58S gets me to the peak of my vocal abilities. My range is no longer 5 octive, but I somehow have managed to keep an effective smooth low and powerful tenor range that goes over quite well when singing thru the SM58S

Plug it in and it works very well. Drop it, it works. Use it for years, it still works. It's hard not to like it!

What can you say about one of these mics that hasn't been said hundreds of times.They have been around just short of forever, and they are still the workhorse of the audio part of the stage. If you have any hesitation about buying one of these, you are simply paranoid. Get out of the business.They work and they do a SUPER job while they are doing it. If not get yourself a new soundman. END OF STORY.

Excellent for our Residence Halls. Used for programs and events.

The mic has good weight to it, and works well with vocals and instruments. The on/off switch is an awesome feature as well! Very happy with this purchase

The Shure SM58 has been a reliable work horse of a mic for decades. There is a reliability/quality sound/cost factor that just can't be beat. This time I bought the SM58S because the switch is handy when you need to mute whatever is going on, onstage.

As usual Sweetwater was fast and ready with my order. Had the mic in my hands just a couple of days after placing my order. The free shipping and three payment plan are a great big bonus.

Great for band vocals

These microphones are outpstanding in every way. A lot of bang for the buck. The only thing that would make to them better is if they were wireless and we purchased these due to budget constraints.

I bought them because reliability. I have two of them and they are still in good condition but my daughter is in the band so I bought them.

Works great. Very light. Uses aa batteries. Good Mike.

As always a great dependable mic!

This is a great mike. Have used one in the past. Clear sound, reliable. Completely satisfied.

These mics are legendary, which is the reason I bought one. Plugged it in and the sound is so clear and crisp. Nothing short of it's reputation.

HAVE USED SURE MICS FOR OVER 40 YRS. GREAT QUALITY, GOOD SOUND, A VERY GOOD MIC.
USED IN COUNTRY/COUNTRY ROCK BAND, NOW USING IN A SOUTHERN GOSPEL DUO.

While I have had Shire microphones in the past I purchased this one as I need the on/off with.
I was impressed with the speed I got it and on the first gig noticed the sharpness in the vocals.
Good mic-- I would buy another.

You can't go wrong with a proven design like Shure SM58. My son needed one for his music studies and wanted one with a switch. The SM58S is just what he needed.

This is a perfect mic for a bluegrass band. Durable, clear, responsive and doesn't get overwhelmed by banjos in the background like a lot of others.

This mic is head and shoulders better than the comparable mics that I have been using. I get the same volume level at about half the volume setting on my P.A. The built in pop shield works great also. For the money,I don't think that you can beat the Shure SM58. Oh,and too,since I don't have a sound man,the off on switch on the SM58S is worth the little extra cost. If you need to mute the mic,you just flip the switch as opposed to having to get to the board and turning down the volume.

Bright, accurate voice representation. Performance measured up to expectations set in the like reviews.

A great microphone. So good that I bought a second one. And service is the best. Thank you!

Very good price for a great product

We got the sound we wanted for our meetings. Everyone sounds great with great pickup. Very pleased. Thanks for Sweetwater. .

I have already dropped it a few times, and it still works great. I also found I get a great bass response when I place it inside my cajon.

Still the best mic for the money

Great mic, but the off/on switch was so loose. It felt like there was no detent there. It would turn itself off if you picked it up the wrong way. Not cool at a gig. I would recommend the sm58 rather than the sm58s.
The more bells and whistles, the more chance of something to fail.

Great for practice. Haven't performed with it yet

I've only used it once since I got it. It sounded great but the on/off switch feels really sloppy. I have other Shure mics with on/off switches that have a very positive feel to them. The switch on this Shure mic does not feel like it engages or disengages properly. It just kind of loosely slides. I don't expect it to actually click when moving it from one position to the other but until I plugged it in and used it, I wasn't sure it actually worked. So for that reason I gave it 3.5 stars.

Really nice microphone. I sing for a rock n roll band, and found that this works quite a bit better than my Sennheiser that I've used for years. Very affordable too. It would be difficult to find a better, new microphone as reasonably priced as this one. It's a good buy. I'm happy with it.

You have to turn the gain up wayyyyy too much. I wanted a mic with a switch and this was the only one that came with a switch. I returned this one and got a Samson Q6 with a switch and great output.
