Pyle Classic Retro Dynamic Vocal Microphone - Old Vintage Style Unidirectional Cardioid Mic with XLR Cable - Universal Stand Compatible - Live Performance, In Studio Recording, Black

I gig regularly with this thing, so far am very happy with it. It’s plastic but sturdy enough I leave it on the stand in a bag with other stands I carry in and out of gigs. I can’t tell the difference sound-wise between this and the Behringer 58 clones I used to use and vanity wise I’m way cooler with this one. If you’re into the magic a mic adds to your voice maybe spring for a beta 58, you’re probably not looking for a retro mic anyway. The only knock I have is the stand threads are plastic, may not last, we’ll see. First handful of gigs no problems, if it craps out I’ll buy another.EDIT: after a month or of use 2-3 times a week the threads let go a little. Mic stand threads are plastic, heads up. Still works but won’t hold up long term.

I was really impressed!I thought it was going to be a super cheap mic.... It's price is cheap but honestly it works really well!Currently using it as a backup mic just for home studio projects.Seriously you should just buy it

Looks great. Plastic construction, but sounds good. I use it as a talk mic at my DJ and karaoke shows. Seems fairly durable, but I keep it in the box when I'm not using it.

I bought this microphone as a prop for a video we are making in my home studio. It was cheap and looked perfect for my needs so I didn't bother to check the ratings or reviews. I never planned to plug it in. Last night a friend suggested we plug it in out of curiosity so we did (using a proper XLR cable, not the 1/4" that came with it). Jaw drop time! Need I say more? At this price, buy it and you won't be disappointed. Looks cool and sounds great.

I don’t like holding a mic, this gives me an excellent alternative. Good quality, good look.

I really wanted to like this mic, it looks great. The fatal flaw is it's sound output. It is very low. The need to boost the gain at the board might cause a feedback problem. Using headphones it sounds clear but lacks the punch/vibrance of an sm58 . It's kind of a toy, it's made out of plastic.

I read the comments concerning this mic... first of all, those of you who are making the bad comments are not reading the specifications of the microphone, second, this particular mic is made of plastic (42BK) and there is one Pyle sells for that comes in a metal case. Do your homework! I bought this mic because I wanted something vintage and not expensive for my chat, Skype and for using it on Echolink (Internet based Amateur Radio Communications program). This mic suits that purpose. After setting it up and having adjusted the volume levels on my soundcard, this microphone works beautifully and my voice is clear on the receiving end of the conversation. I have attached a couple of photos of this mic on a an Audio2000 AST 421 Microphone Desktop stand that I also bought on Amazon. It's the perfect height. With my software, I control the PTT (Push To Talk) with the space bar on Echolink and with the chat program, the PTT is controlled by the CTRL key (keep in mind the on and off switch on the microphone must be left in the on position when using it on these programs). I absolutely recommend this microphone to all my Ham Radio Buddies and to all who want a simple but inexpensive microphone for chatting or Skyping. I will be purchasing the Pyle 68BK (Metal Casing) to add to my collection. Shipping was fast and received everything in working order.

Love it
