I bought a couple of these, and am very happy. Not the best microphone in the world, but it's VERY descent. It works better than the SM58 in a loud live context thanks to its feedback resistance. I rate the sound and features as OK, but considering how cheap it is I give it a four star rating overall. It's not as good as my Electrovoice 967 or the Beta 58, but it shouldn't be for this price. You pay for a crappy toy and get a reasonably professional microphone that sounds at least almost as good as the SM58 for live vocals and is more resistant to feedback= good!
