PyleClassic Retro Dynamic Vocal Microphone - Old Vintage Style Unidirectional Cardioid Mic with XLR Cable - Universal Stand Compatible - Live Performance, In-Studio Recording - Pro PDMICR42R (Red)

I bought this mic out of impatience in waiting on a Yoga 50's mic I wont on ebay, and also because it's red and would look great for my band on stage. Oh yeah, and it was super cheap (like $22) lol.When it came in I really wasn't expecting much at all, I already knew it had a plastic shell and I had read some reviews about it before purchase. When it came in I was pleasently surprised that the plastic was nice and thick so I don't expect it to break unless I am trying to break it. The curved back feels great in my hand as I'm singing (I don't use a mic stand)The best surprise was the sound. While this is by no means compariable to a $500+ studio mic, it is way better than the run of the mill mics you are going to buy for $20-$40. It picks up everything very well (and I mean everything so make sure you cover the back if playing live and to keep the noise to a minimum when recording) It sounds way better than the Shure PG58 that we started with (to be fair it's a low end Shure mic that's about 8 years old)I'm not a recording expert, but we did 3 songs with this mic (vocals only, everything else was direct) We did an intro with a speech, an acoustic with clean vocals, and a heavy metal with screams. All of these sound great so far. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cool and inexpensive mic for demos and live shows.

The media could not be loaded. Listen this Mic is amazing....I am gonna order more

The media could not be loaded. I get so many compliments on how cute this microphone is in love using it for my vintage shows! Highly recommend! ✨

I gave this a 4 star just on looks, Im only using this as a prop..It looks 🤷🏿‍♂️

I bought this purely for nostalgic purpose lol. I have zero idea how it actually sounds or if it even works. I have an actual recording studio but refuse to allow my clients to actually use it lol. I was in love with this type of mic as a kid so… I got one! My business colors are black and red so I chose the red one. It is made of plastic for anyone who may be wondering. It is a real xlr mic, I just don’t use mine for amplifying sound.

It didn't even last me a whole year before it stopped working.

If your a professional with a big voice. This is not it. This is essentially a toy that plugs in. But it’s super duper cute and fun to make videos with.

I just received this over the weekend and was excited to try it out. I laid down lead and backing vocals for two songs on my upcoming punk album ( which will be released here on Amazon music under Spike! ) - using a tascam 8 track I bought here as well - no phantom power needed.The vocals came out amazingly clean and cut through the mix perfectly. The on/off switch was great for waiting out a solo or bridge without worrying about sneezing or something lol - it directly attachs to the mic stand - so not sure if I would use this for gigging as that plastic thread would wear out - but for a studio where you leave it on the stand like me - its perfect - no reason to pay more - and it looks friggin radtro (retro+rad) !
