OKay

They're decent. I have two and they sound pretty identical to SM58s, with only minor tonal differences. The real difference is the build quality; real SM58s are noticeably sturdier and less delicate.

According to a Musician Magazine profile,"Sprout has come to adore a Conneaut Audio Devices Equitek E-100 tube microphone for its warmth and prescence" for recording vocals. "He also employs a Shure SM57, a Shure Prologue, and a Electro-Voice RE18, which works well with the Memory Man on vocals."
