Pyle Classic Retro Dynamic Vocal Microphone – Old Vintage Style Unidirectional Cardioid Mic with XLR Cable – Universal Stand Compatible – Live Performance In Studio Recording – PDMICR42SL (Silver)

I am very impressed; this is a lot of microphone for the money.
This is actually a pro–sounding mic and at an amazing price. Imagine a Shure SM58 at a third of the cost but housed in plastic instead of metal. I did a side-by-side comparison with this mic and a Shure SM58. To my ears, which are pretty sensitive, the two mics sounded identical on vocals (male with range from low F to high G), and I actually preferred it over the SM-58 for an acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. Sorry I didn’t do electrics because I only have a dinky practice amp.I think the trade-off for the low price is in the material. An SM58 is nigh–indestructible, able to take insane forms of abuse from high impacts to freezing, and even cooking. This mic, on the other hand, is a light, rigid plastic of some kind. My initial impressions were just don’t drop it on the floor or anything like that and you’ll be fine, as long as it’s handled carefully. However, the threads for mounting to a stand are also plastic, and I do wonder how long the plastic threads will endure their job without wear. I’ve had no such problems yet, though. If one only uses stands compatible with the metal adapter (included), this should not be a concern.Contrary to amateur complaints…THIS MICROPHONE HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH BUZZ OR RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE.Any such problems come from the CABLE, not from the microphone.The cable included with this microphone is just a bonus; it is of poor quality and not suitable for serious use. Always use a low-impedance (XLR) cable to avoid such problems. No microphone in the world can guarantee a signal free of unwanted interference if it is connected to a cheap high-impedance cable like the one included here. Toss the cable, keep the mic.This is an amazing–sounding dynamic microphone for home/studio use and at very low price; just handle it gently.Oh, and it does look really cool. The photos are accurate.Wishing everyone good health.

Puts the Oaky in Karaoke Night!
I don’t know what Oaky means. I have a number of different Pyle microphones, and I’ve always been pleased with the quality. I bought these retro-style mics to add a bit more stylistic flare to whenever we have a Karaoke event. I like the look of them, they’re sturdily built. I wish they weren’t plastic, but to get proper metal ones, I’d need to pay substantially more. The pick up is pretty good on these, and I appreciate that younger kids are less likely to treat these like ice cream cones when they’re singing Let it Go for the 78th time.

Ham radio
I use it on an ft-710 so I don’t damage any good microphones, I get the same performance out of this mic as I do my $100 and $500+ microphones. Everyone says my audio is outstanding so I have no complaints, it being plastic and lightweight makes it a no brainer for a cheap microphone arm that will have issues with a heavy metal mic. Plus its $20 so if I accidentally break it or drop it no problem.

Classic (microphone of the 50’s and 60’s)
I finally received the microphones and they look great. I will try them out on a gig and see if they stand up to brand name microphones. I like that they come with a microphone cable each (cause I ordered 2). They are plastic but we will see how good they sound. I also like the retro classic look of the 50’s and 60’s. They will be put into good use for singing. Get one for yourself and see if you like it.

Looks great and sounds wonderful. It is made of plastic but as long as it is treated with care you should have no problems.

Me gusta Iara ensayar en casa, estoy acostumbrada al micrófono shure inalámbrico y claro se nota la diferencia pero para el precio q tiene está fenomenal

Bellissimo microfono colore argento lucido, con lungo cavo da cannon a jack 6.5 compreso nella confezione a circa 30 euro. Consigliato.
