Shure SM57 Cardioid Dynamic Instrument Microphone with Pneumatic Shock Mount, A25D Mic Clip, Storage Bag, 3-pin XLR Connector, No Cable Included (SM57-LCE), Black

What an amazing cost effective microphone which sounds amazing! - I did however return mine as it didn’t really work with my voice . Be aware if your a streamer or podcaster or contented with a face cam , unless you are prepared to be eating the mic , it’s not the mic for you. I found even with the gain at about 90% on my scarlet interface , I had to have the capsule about an inch away from the mic to pick me up clearly. So a condenser mic is probably better suited for you for that. If your looking for an SM7B type of sound, but can’t quite afford the SM7B - get the SM57, A55M, A2WS - a bit of processing and you’ll get that sound. I have an SM7B , which I love! And comparing to the SM57 and that there is a £300 price difference I think the SM57 is awesome. Although like I mentioned earlier you have to eat the SM57 for it to pick you up clearly, whereas the SM7B is more forgiving as to how close you have to have it to your mouth. Overall , I know I returned mine as I didn’t like how it sounded with my voice , if your looking for great audio for vocal and streaming join the SM57 with the A55M shockmount and A2WS windscreen and a decent usb interface and you’ll be away !

I'm not a fan of this mic on electric guitar cabs (prefer condensers and fuller range dynamics to this), but this does shine on percussive sounds, acoustic guitar, and experimental impulse response creation duties.

very sturdy microphone. high quality materials and sound. directional for targeted audio collection.

Honestly who does not use this mic for a snare it's crisp and durable dropped it too many times still works like a charm I mean it's a one time purchase

After much research to establish this was the genuine article (there are so many fakes on the market) I finally purchased this mic. Not disappointed and it lives up to it's reputation as a very robust and great all round instrument mic.

The Shure SM57 is a staple, and there’s a reason it’s in almost every studio on the planet. Whether you’re recording vocals, guitar amps, drums, or just about any other instrument, this microphone delivers a clean, full-bodied sound every time. It’s rugged and reliable, so you don’t have to worry about it breaking down easily—mine has survived drops, intense volume levels, and all kinds of abuse without missing a beat. For its price, it’s almost unbelievable how well it captures sound, especially mid-range tones. The SM57 can handle high sound pressure levels with zero distortion, making it perfect for live settings too. If you want a professional, workhorse mic that will deliver in almost any situation, look no further.

Anyone who knows what an SM57 is doesnt really need to read this review, but there you go. It's a classic dynamic mic, low noise level, looks the part, very clear. At least one of your favourite songs was probably recorded on one of these, and for so cheap!

Nice work and good job

I’ve had my Shure SM57 for a while now, and I’ve got to say, this mic is like the Swiss Army knife of the audio world. It’s been through a lot with me—live gigs, studio sessions, and even some impromptu jam sessions in the garage. Honestly, if this mic could talk, I’m sure it would have some wild stories to tell. First off, the build quality is rock solid. I’ve dropped it, knocked it, and generally put it through its paces, and it just keeps on going. It feels like it’s made out of some indestructible alloy that laughs in the face of accidents. And the sound quality? Oh boy, it’s impressive. The SM57 captures instruments with such clarity and detail—it’s like it has a built-in magic filter that makes everything sound just right. It’s versatile too. Whether I’m miking up a snare drum or an electric guitar amp, the SM57 delivers every time. The dynamic range is fantastic, and it handles high volumes without distorting. It’s like having a reliable friend who always knows what to do, no matter the situation. One thing to keep in mind is that it’s not the fanciest mic out there, but for the price, it’s an absolute steal. It doesn’t need phantom power, which is a nice plus. If you’re looking for a mic that gets the job done without fuss, the SM57 is your go-to. In summary, the Shure SM57 is a classic for a reason. It’s tough, reliable, and always delivers top-notch sound. If you don’t have one in your collection yet, do yourself a favor and grab one—you won’t regret it!

I tried a far cheaper Devine dynamic mic that performed way better.

My son is a musician and we wanted to get him a microphone for the holidays. After a lot of research and emails with his band conductor we settled on the Shure SM57-X2U. It was right in our price range, but didn't scrimp on quality of sound. The bundle we purchased included a table top stand, cover and cables - a great package for the money! As many musicians (and their parents) know, quality of the final product is most important and we are impressed. He immediately started using it for auditions, online postings, and school work and we have been surprised at how well it records. It is very user friendly and very durable (we all know how hard teenagers can be on things). The mic also has its own carrying bag which makes it safe during transport to a variety of locations. If you are looking for good quality and great sound at a fantastic price, then the Shure microphone is the one you have been looking for!

Amazing versatile microphone! There's a reason why this mic is used in the majority of modern rock records since the 80s. It is not only for recording, but also for ASMR and podcasting. This IS the essential utility microphone and I had to see it to believe it.
