Confirmed expectations after using this industry standard mic. Good sound with negligible noise when recording. Sturdy build. Thanks Shure.
Fantastic Microphone for vocals. Lots of fakes out there and you have to watch out but when you get the real thing you know it’s a great quality mic all round. Everyone needs one on their studio or personal recording room. Check photos to see exactly what a genuine one looks like to compare it with yours.
Very nice sturdy mic. Used it a few times now for recording and rehearsals. No problems
It’s the one the top singers use. Great weight. Great quality. Nothing else to say. Does what it’s supposed to.
Arrived on time, well packed with soft case and mic clip. Works perfectly. Thanks
Looks like an SM58, feels like an SM58, and sounds like an SM58. Your standard hammer of a microphone.
It have a very good sound quality, good frequencies, and good value amount of money, best Microphone for beginners to buy
Paired with a fethead it produces a lovely clean sound.
A sturdy and high quality mic. I work in comedy and these mics last a long time with the bashing comedians give them. Even includes a mic bag and mic stand adapter for the mic.
If you want a good quality microphone for semi-pro and pro use you cannot go wrong with a Shure.
Loved the way it clarifies the tone in my voice
Absolute industry standard for vocal microphones. Best price I could find was on Amazon too. Just a brilliant microphone.
compared side by side sound wise with sm48. spend the extra money for the sm58. it’s much better.
Its a classic what more needs to be said! Powerful crystal clear sound with no loss of powe
Amazon – please amend your product information. I purchased this mic and you incorrectly state that it requires 1 x AAA battery. It does not require any batteries.
This mic is the best vocal mic I’ve ever bought. If you’re disconcerted by the price, I think you’re better off buying a mic like this that will last longer and sound better, than a mic that might be worse, and you might end up having to upgrade.
I use this microphone for practicing and we’ll be using it for Giging. Great product works very well exactly what i expected from an industrial standard microphone.
Top notch microphone. Well built and fairly heavy, directional, so less likely to feedback. Great sound reproduction.
Best microphone for live vocals, clear crisp sound and absolutely bulletproof… There’s a reason why this is legendary…
Awesome sound, industry standard bit of kit. Rugged and built to last.
Defo genuine. Standard issue and performs as such. Good price too.
I have used this legendary microphone for over 50-years as a working professional, and it has NEVER let me down, even once, and I was a traveling rock drummer doing one-night stands for most of my life. Not only does it sound great, but it is as tough as NAILS, always and important consideration during the grueling pressures of live performance (in a pinch, it will even double as a hammer). I always buy the one with the ON/OFF switch, as it instantly stops any feedback problems, as well as silencing the mic from any unwanted noises. While some people seem to be worried about the addition of an on off switch as far as reliability is concerned, they simply don’t know what they’re talking about. I have only needed two of these mics for my entire professional career, AND NOT A SINGLE SWITCH EVER FAILED TO FUNCTION OR WAS EVER DAMAGED FROM HEAVY USE. This fear is totally unfounded, as well as any mistaken belief that a switch interferes with the sound quality… it doesn’t.
P.S. I just purchased a Sennheiser e945 as a possible upgrade to this mic, and I HATED it. The feedback issues were horrific (particularly with no on-off switch to deal with it), it was twice as heavy, and worse still, my vocals just didn’t sound as good, from top to bottom.
P.P.S. Today, Labor Day 2022 I was doing a live gig outdoors, when I actually tripped over the mic cord and the mic slammed directly into the concrete, HARD. I was a little worried since this was my only mic, but of course, the 58 came through beautifully, with just a little dent in to windscreen. When you career depends on it, leave it to Shure to come through… every time.
A very professional product.Well pleased with the overall sound.
such a quality bit of kit nice and heavyweight perfect mic for vocals and guita
If you are looking for a professional-grade mic, you can’t go wrong with this; remember if you are using it as a studio recording mic you will need to pair it with a good pre-amp to get the best performance. Otherwise, for stage performance, this mic is great when plugged into a good amp/sound system.
If you’re looking for an SM58, this is one of those. Exactly as expected.
I purchased this for my partner, he loves it, is a upgrade from his old one.
It’s any industry standard piece of kit and certainly deserve to be.
Superb dynamic range and and faithful reproduction of whatever sound you put into it.
I don’t think you’ll regret buying one.
Couldn’t believe how good this sounds my first decent quality microphone
Still the best value professional level microphone on the market. Flawless build, great weight balance and rugged as a rock.
A fantastic mic, exactly what i hoped for, nice crisp vocals and a mic that is built to last.
Many thanks.
A great mic at a great price, you can probably get more sophisticated mics at much greater prices, but if all you need is a mic to give you great vocals this is the one to buy. I’m very very satisfied.
They say you get what you pay for, recon that’s true with this, excellent sound quality
Value for money and most importantly a legendary instrument with great sound
I waited till I used it first time few weeks ago in the church when I was singing after lockdown and I think this mic is very good quality. I know there are other cheaper alternatives but my friend mentioned that this is good investment and can be used for a good few years (>5 years as other mics in my church). I would highly recommend it!
Great sound caption and fantastic material. A little expensive but I know it will last for many years
absolutely brilliant microphone, only the best will do and it is the bes
Pros:
1. Obviously it’s legendary build quality. I didn’t think it would be 300gm! It’s like a tank. You can hammer nails with this.
2. Beautifully tuned for vocals and other woodwind instruments (I play the flute and it records it brilliantly) Almost all artists use this live and it gives the flute a nice natural sound. A condenser microphone actually needs you to be more precise in your breathing and even picks up the small noises while playing. But this microphone rejects all that and only picks up the direct sound. I’m amazed at how well this mic has been designed in a cardioid pickup pattern. I usually have trouble extending the bass flute sounds, but with this mic, it actually accentuates the bass flute sound!
3. It has warm and rich bass sound.
4. Almost all classical live performances and a lot of the bollywood songs are recorded on this mic. The sound signature of this mic is familiar to everyone and hence it sounds so good.
Cons:
1. It needs a lot of gain to get a usable signal. And if you don’t have a powerful and good quality amp, it’ll introduce noise (although you could reduce it in post production). On a scarlett 2i2, this thing needs 75% gain and it is sufficiently loud without any self noise. On a Zoom H5 recorder, it gets by at level 5.5 to 6 gain. So zoom recorder’s amps are a little more powerful I believe. I believe this high gain requirement was because it was designed in the late 60s where the equipment was all analog and needed a lot of voltage for the sound mixing boards to work with.
What you get in the box
1. Mic (duh!)
2. Mic stand adapter (I thought there was a 3/8th inch adapter but I didn’t see it in my box. May be Indian version doesn’t have it)
3. Faux leather zippered pouch
4. Cable tie
5. Stickers
The microphone has a “Shure – Distributed in India” hologram plastered on it’s body. I had made the mistake of peeling it (as I thought it ruined the look of the microphone!) and as soon as I peeled it, the sticker left out a residue in letters saying “void void void”. So I think I just voided my warranty! So DO NOT remove the hologram sticker. I believe I got the original and not fake microphone. It had all the signs of an original Shure mic.
Overall I’m extremely satisfied with the product. I don’t think I’ll ever be needing my Condenser microphones with such an amazing and well built dynamic mic is available.
Note: People who want to run it off their PC or Mac.Don’t! …. Get an audio interface as this mic needs good pre-amplification.
Well there’s not much to say, it does the job, Im happy with it, good quality and you cant destroy this mic. One of the best dynamic mic.
Rock solid and just works. The standard for dynamic mics.
I owned a Shure SM58 back in the 1980s. I stopped performing for a couple of decades and when I got back into it, I read that there newer mics that were better suited for female voices, and I ended up buying a Heil PR35. The Heil is a very nice mic, but a bit pricey for some of the dives our band plays in. I bought an SM58 for those kinds of gigs as they seem tough enough to withstand just about any abuse. I noticed right away that my voice is much warmer and smoother using the SM58 than it is with the Heil. I will probably sell the Heil and use the Shure full time.
Reliable, solid and rugged. Works just as expected. In my view you cannot far wrong with an SM58 for basic vocal on stage use !!!
This is an excellent microphone. I am not a technical person but the sound quality on tests has been excellent. Certainly recommended. No wonder it is the workhorse of singers and presenters alike.
I use this with a Shure X2U (I guess that a FocusRite or Mackie etc would be fine too) for doing voiceovers for our screen capture software demonstration videos. It really is excellent. You can spend a lot more money on more exotic mics, but I’m not sure if the benefit is there, as frankly, these are not Hollywood blockbusters. A really good aspect of the Shure is that it rejects background noise so well. So no one can hear the fans whirring away on the nearby PC, or room echo. No need to treat the room acoustically. You just get nice clear, warm speech. We’ve got a much more pricey mic for shooting videos, an AudioTechnica AT4053b, and I tried this instead of the Shure for doing the screencam videos. But it starts picking up computer noise etc, which the Shure doesn’t. If I have it about 5 inches away and speak as if I was presenting to a small room, then it is job done – not even any post processing required.
The best microphone.. industry standard. If you have a powerful voice, this will stop it sounding shrieky. Worth the money.. I have two
I’ve been using this product ever since purchasing and works perfectly fine. Vocals for speech and singing are crystal clear, cannot be faltered.
Strong, sturdy and allows for one to get a fine good grip. Amplifies the voice impressively.
Good mic for amateur use, pub bands etc. If you are in a more serious set up, then look at the audix or Sennheiser range for intermediate, Neumann for professional. The 58 Beta is also a good mic (better than this again) but if you are going to pay that sort of money,then its worth stretching a little further to get the cut through you need.
It’s been dropped, it’s had spillages on it, it’s been kicked. No loss in its superb sound quality. This is a must have microphone.
This is simply “the” professional mic in my opinion. Not only is it well built, pretty tough to break and always reliable, the sound quality out of this is just something you need to hear to know the difference. And the best thing is, as pro microphones go, it’s not even too expensive. If you’ve not tried one of these yet, give them a go. It’s hard to imagine you’ll be disappointed.
Still the best dynamic mic. You know just what you get with the SM58.
I had a problem with the microphone originally, one of the wires came loose but the seller fixed it with no problems, great microphone, no further issues.
An amazingly high quality mic at a very reasonable price. Delivered far quicker than eta.
Always use Shure mics where possible.
Using at the moment with the band.
It does exactly what it says on the label.
Loving every second of it, it feels heaven and is!!!!! Its not for no reason Shure are the most popular!!!!
Just what you’d expect from a Shure product, smooth, clear and good solid quality mic. Not disappointed, I use it for heavy metal vox and regular vox onstage
his is a brilliant mic and well worth the money.. arrived promptly and well packaged. I didn’t realise that it had an on/off button but this hasn’t been a problem so far.
well pleased
These mics work perfectly with standard XLR cables, but also work perfectly with plug-on radio transmitters such as the Sennheiser SKP 100.
Shure’s trademark is “Legendary Performance”. With the SM58 this is true
Simply the best.
The ultimate in mic’s great sound quality, heavy and robust.
Will last a life time , within reaso
1st class microphone ! Bought as a gift for my Hubby’s birthday and he wouldn’t use any but Shure sm58 as he is a profesional Singer Guitarist.
Not much has to be said about this legendary stage microphone …. it as THE de.facto standard with hundreds of thousands of pro vocalists worldwide. The build quality seems to suggest that it is tough enough to hammer nails into wood! It is truly a beast and you can feel it the moment you put your hand around it. As for sound – it also makes an excellent recording mic should you not have access to more expensive studio condenser mics as the response of the sm58 is amazing!
Would recommend to anyone unreservedly.

The Shure 58 has been around for forty-seven years. They were originally designed for clarity in speaking, and so have a lift around 10 khz, with a dip just below that, and a lift below that at about 4 khz. The frequency response is one part of the distinctive SM58 sound, which makes almost everyone sound a bit brighter, clearer, and more exciting. The other part of the sound is the very distinctive proximity effect. This is a feature of all cardioid microphones, increasing the bass when the microphone is close to the sound source. On the 58, though, this increased bass alongside the 10k lift has been exploited by musicians of every persuasion for decades, and is highly distinctive.
Everything about this mic is road ready. In fact, the metal casing is so robust you can drive over it with a van and it won’t mind, though you’ll have to remove the wind-shield and gently press it back into shape (more or less) after you’ve done it. While you’re doing this, you’ll notice what looks like foam rubber which is the internal pop-filter. It also features its own rudimentary shock mount, which reduces, though doesn’t entirely eliminate, handling noise. Underneath the windshield, this mic looks a lot like the SM57 (formerly the Unidyne), also a classic, and often found micing up large amplifier cabinets.
In the barrel there is a small transformer which gives this microphone its low impedance, balanced output. I once had a Shure 58 which was fifteen years old, and on the road for most of them. Eventually, the wires to the transformer had broken off. It was fairly fiddly, but entirely possible to retrieve it and resolder, though I never found out what the brown sticky stuff was (I think epoxy) which had lost its grip on the components over the years.
This version doesn’t include a switch. For that you need the SM58s. Most pros, though, would do anything to avoid having a switch on a stage mic, because you can’t do anything if a nervous singer flicks it off.
There’s also a wireless version of the SM58 available, though the body is much bigger, and less robust.
Female vocalists may find the sound a little too robust, especially with the intense roll-off going up to 15 kHz. To get over this, Shure released the Beta 58A in 1989, which looks almost identical, but is internally quite different and goes up to 16 kHz, with a less pronounced proximity effect. The extra 1 kHz adds in the high harmonics.
The only other variant in the 58 family is the cheaper PG58. This is an entry-level mic with a less even frequency spectrum. Many people find the sound a little thinner, though still distinctively Shure 58, and much more authentic than cheaper imitations. Physically, it doesn’t feel quite as robust, though it will probably outlast most other things on planet earth.
Shure 58s used to be a lot more expensive, and today’s versions don’t _feel_ quite like the older ones. That said, both the classics and the current versions retain the same great sound, and are equally indestructible.
The down side to the sm58 is no switch, which when you don’t use a stand for live performances can be annoying, especially when another member of the band is singing.
so if you require a switch SM58s, otherwise does what it says on the ti
This bundle is perfect, in fact I’m purchasing the same bundle again. Not great for recording but does an alright job, that’s not the reason I bought it anyway. Chances are if you’re looking for this mic, you already know about it. The delivery was really fast, 2 days earlier than expected (to the UK) whether that will happen again I don’t know.
I got the SHURE SM58 LCE BUNDLE! The legendary vocal mic INCLUDING mic-stand, clamp, 5m XLR cable and microphone bag … it arrived in excellent condition and works a dream, the mic stand is sturdy and easy to put together. all in all i’m very happy with the buy!
The product was in good condition both in appearance and performance at a price I was prepared to pay. My son is very pleased with it.
I’ve been in the music business since nineteen hundred & frozen to death, & have used Shure mikes right from the start of my career. I used a different one for a year or two recently, when my old Shure gave up the ghost after 20 years plus, but never got the same response & tonal quality from it, so it’s back to the tried, tested & loved old faithful!
Delivery was a little protracted & therefore loses 1 star. This however, definitely does NOT detract from how I feel about the product itself!
The SM58 is now used regularly. The AKG D5 still competes and perhaps wins on smoothness and heaviness of sound, but the SM58 edges forward on clarity and accuracy.
Both are musical, powerful and rugged, but of the two the Shure SM58 is smaller in size and is much more resistant to feedback.
Ultimately, it is a matter of personal preference. I have SM58 days and D5 days and I use both when singing and recording. But if push comes to shove, and taking everything into consideration including the big price difference, it would be difficult but I would probably pick the AKG D5 as the overall winner. If price was not an issue, then I would declare the Shure SM58 the winner, mainly for its clarity and feedback resisting advantage.
This particular Shure model comes with an on/off switch. Unless you feel you really need that switch, you can buy the same microphone without a switch at a lower price.
This is a serious microphone, and you’ll love it. Recommended.
Great holy grail microphone used by one and all for it`s sound quality. Fantastic reliable mike so well built to give many years f service. First choice of the worlds best artists- genuinely.
This is the legendary SM-58, bought for an un-and-coming rock star. Sounds pretty good to me. Arrived in perfect condition and in good time for Christmas.
As it says: INDUSTRY STANDARD. Great sound and very tough as well. Want some more of these. I’ve bought one on another webshop (e-Bay) but found out it was fake and did not sound so well as the original one. What you pay is what you really get.
Recommended.
A good all purpose Mic for outdoor (Good strong wind sheild) use or studio and gigs, very well made too it can withstand a lot of knocks, drops, even extremely low temps and still sounds as good, though one bad point is its quite a bit quieter then most other Mics I’ve used so a good mixer/vocal FX unit is needed to boost the input.
I have been using the SM58 for many years and still have one I bought in the early 90’s. You can drop them, drive over them and generally forget having to tread lightly in a live situation. These things are built like a tank, constructed to last and give many years of great service. Bear in mind, the SM57 IS the SM58 with a different gauze head. whether mic used for capturing instruments from amps, or for vocal work, these are a hard act to follow.
I certainly wouldn’t use anything else for live work, although I have several condensers too.
A good investment.
Great mic, great delivery. I ordered standered delivery (3-5) days and it came in 2 🙂 awesome
and most of all fantastic price 🙂
I WOULD BUY FROM THIS GUY AGAIN 🙂
very good a bit dodgy sometimes as if it works its very good but somtimes it just decides not to probably the wire to the amp which is whwy i gave the 5 stars anyway.
for the price very good
On the other hand, I sing whilst playing the drums, and it’s really handy to be able to flick the mic off during non-singing sections, especially energetic parts with lots of noisy breathing. It’s also helpful when soundchecking, as it’s rather easy to check if a particular switchable mic is causing feedback or not.
It’s not cheap, but it’s a great piece of kit.
The sound from the SM58 is amazing not like a kareoke mic in a pub,
even the President of the United States uses an SM58, that’s when you
know your using the best is when someone like that uses one.
* It sounds great with most voices
* It’s durable
* It’s decent value for money
* It’s good at rejecting feedback
* It has become so established and widespread that people know what to expect from it, and how it behaves in a wide variety of settings, taking the guesswork out of things.
The SM58 has become a no-brainer for live stage vocal work and has many other uses as a general purpose workhorse. Buy with confidence.
my sm58 was like a lil tank over these 10 years…used it live on stage,in practice and in the studio…not just for my vocals but also guitars and drums on some occations…since now it finally will not work after 10 years of a beating i would only purchase this mic again…i really do not think i could trust any thing else.
so all in all if you want a mic that is really over the asking price and such a bargin that will deliver everything you want from the sound to how tough it is then buy the sm58
I’ve used mine quite a bit recording on my computer, and the sound is crisp and professional.
I have used so many terrible mics, some of which were much more expensive than this one. Of the mics I have tried (below 300) probably only 10% are worth keeping.
So buying a mic can be a bit of a lottery. And the SM58 is a guaranteed winner.
