For the money? Can't lose.

I have one of these as a backup to an SM57, bought in 2013 for the princely sum of £15.00. Really just reiterating what most reviewers have said - the price difference between this and the SM57 is almost as surprising as how small the gap in recording quality is. Yes the SM57 is the thing if that little edge in quality is essential, but for 95% of users, this is more than adequate.

Can't beat it for themoney

Yes, it costs less than a round for you and a couple of mates in your local Wetherspoons, so you're obviously not going to get the same quality as the industry standard it looks so similar to, but I've had mine for a few years now and it's served me very nicely. Ideal for guitar amps and if you're playing your local pub or youth club, then it's an ideal start. Mine has lasted well and still works fine, but to be fair, if it breaks, replacing it won't break the bank, will it?

Not even going to qualify the PDMIC78 with how much it does or doesn't cost.

Pyle-Pro has a solid microphone here. What it lacks from a 1:1 comparison to a Shure SM57, you can buy several of these as backup units. If you've ever miced an open back cab properly, you know that you need one microphone in the front & another in the back. PDMIC78 makes that affordably possible.

Awesome!

It's not an SM57, but it is very close in looks and sound quality. On amazon you can get these for about £11 and although they are fairly cheap, they sound professional and can get the best out a snare, guitar, bass or toms. I personally use it for Snare, High Tom, Floor Tom, High Hat, Guitar and Bass Guitar. I always get the best quality out of them using these microphones. I was surprised how perfect they sounded for mics that costed £11.

If you don't want to spend loads of money then these are the microphones to get, you can get the best sound out of your instrument with these and they give you a clear, professional tone.

oh boy

I think you would be suprised with this one. It really doesnt sound half bad for $20. If your on a budget i highly reccomend this for any beginner

Good Budget Option

Got 4 for $40 and was totally impressed. They're durable and get the job done. Good option for getting into home recording, especially when I was 15 and broke.

for the price you cant beat it

for the price you can't beat it but it's not as a sm57
