the most common good mic around

mbwhite 14.05.2021

It's by far the most used, well known, durable, sturdy, good sounding live mic around. There's not a single tech who doesn't know how it reacts and sounds. There's not a single stage anywhere in the world with a bunch of them ready to be used. Or abused, it never fails.
But, even if it's the standard that everybody use as a term of comparison, it may not be the best for YOUR voice.
I don't love it with mine for example. There's a thing on mid frequencies that doesn't marry that good with my voice. I prefer other similar priced mics, sometimes I prefer singing with a 57.
So it may not be the best for you, but you must start from here, it's the number 1 of any mic arsenal, along with its cousin SM57.

It's a reliable microphone

Čovjek 24.06.2025

Sound: This is the sound that we are used to hear live most of the times. Like all microphones, some may fit other voices more than others. This mic sounds a little bit "muffled". It does set things back a bit so that may be a good thing or a bad one. There are better microphones out there and honestly if this one wasn't everywhere I would go for another one. And not because of the status but because, as I said, it is everywhere. About every sound guy knows how to treat a SM58 in the mix and it will sound good.

Features: 5 stars because I don't like microphones intended for live performance with added features like an on/off switch. This one is simple and just does what it is supposed to do. If you wan't a 58 with an on/off switch there is the Shure SM58S.

Quality: Big selling point for me. Feels sturdy. I also own a SM57 for a long time now (this is the same mic just with the added pop filter and round windscreen) and I banged it around countless times. Still works.
I will probably buy another live mic in the future and this one will serve as a reliable backup.

Product okay, boxes were in bad shape

Huachuca 22.05.2025

Everything was okay, functional but one of the boxes coverage was midly open. UPS put tape in front to f me “like taking care of the situation. But otherwise fast shipping! That’s a plus and mostly here that shipping can be crazy and not reliable.

Very good for vocals and recording acoustic guitar.

whatabove 25.11.2023

Sounds better compared to a microphone mxl 2003A. But there was a dent in the windshield. Not critical, since the diaphragm is undamaged.

A classic

Tööör 19.08.2021

A classic choice needed in every sound engineers mic pack.
Sometimes you just need the roughness and toughness of a good ol' SM58!
Not the best sounding mic, but there is always a vocal that will sound better on this than on a B58 or even a D:facto II.
Most times not, but when it hits, it hits.

great standart mic

Andy Marshal 09.08.2020

No question that this legendary mic is really great product, very sturdy, great for live situations, but I had to replace it by BETA58 cause I play a lot on drums and sing simultaneously and the feedback issues were a problem with SM58, aswell as it was not as loud as BETA.

Pretty good

Anonymous 12.12.2014

Perfect mic for beginners. Has a little loose cable problem when even tho the cable is all the way in and nice and 'clicked' into place, you still need to give it an extra push for it not to lag.
It's a very good mic. I'd recommend it 100%. Probably the best mic for the price.
Edit: Over a year later and this microphone works amazingly. No problems what so ever!
