Pyle Classic Retro Dynamic Vocal Microphone - Old Vintage Style Metal Unidirectional Cardioid Mic with XLR Cable - Universal Stand Adapter - Live Performance Studio Recording - PDMICR68SL (Silver)

I like everything about this microphone, the classic sound very little feedback. A great microphone at a great price.

The media could not be loaded. I love this microphone. Yeah the box was a little crappy, so what? The sure beta only comes with a Friggen bag. Anyway, this thing is shiny as a polished turd. I used it playing at a bars several nights. Sound? My only complaint is the built in wind screen doesn’t filter out your p’s or s’s or breaths. It’s kinda like a video camera on a windy day. But the vocals sound good. Maybe a pop filter would help this but other than that the mic sounds great. Compared to the sure beta retro I got for Christmas it sounds like $55 however this is definitely worth the money and in my experience it is a satisfyingly heavy, durable all metal, decent/good sounding microphone and definitely worth it if you can’t afford the sure counterpart. But if you can afford the price difference the sure is the way to go

Sound is very full and robust. Could be awesome for a podcast but the grill needs a better windscreen. Too many plosives at close proximity. Otherwise, mic package is great! Robust case, good padding, mic stand adapter, and XLR to 1/4” mic cable. Definitely a great buy for a high schooler or ameture who wants a good mic with a great look for not a lot of money! Also an awesome prop!All that said, it has one critical flaw. It can’t be plugged into a mixer that is running phantom power or it shorts out and sounds very tinny and unusable. This is an issue if you need phantom to run other mics. Most dynamic mics are unaffected by phantom but, sadly, this one is. The original piece I bought was sent back thinking it was a defect but I got the replacement one and it had the same issue.

Really nice microphone at an incredible value price. Works great, sounds great. A little sensitive to hard pronunciations. Super sturdy and nice heavy duty feel. Flawlessly nice chrome finish. Totally nails the look of the classic version it’s modeled after.

This mic has a nice, open sound. Very smooth and good considering the price. It looks great. I recommend getting a quick-release adapter to avoid having to screw it onto a stand. It needs a pop filter for the "P's" or, learn how to make a P without the plosive sound. Very pleased with it.

I’m a vocalist and sing 40’s and 50’s music a cappella for seniors. For my purpose it has a great sound and lends authenticity to my music. I’m tickled pink 👍

This mic is prone to feedback without a wind screen. And that means the PLosives, BLasts, Sizzling S's & Teety T's are vocals that one needs to be wary of without a wind sock/screen. All of that is controlled & tamed with a sufficient wind screen. That Covid washable mask actually has a use with this mic, Not only does it keep the wind noise & feedback under control, it'll keep saliva and humidity from your voice from soaking the mic head.I gave it 3 stars for sound quality because of the feedback & wind screen. Value for the money 4 stars, back to feedback vs price. Sturdiness if the exterior is that criteria it's 5 stars for that. If singing in a bar, you don't want to fight the lead vocalist with one of these in their hand, it doesn't end well, the mic will only get bloody impacting on your face & skull. The internals are supposed to be shock mounted, so when they're done knocking you out like a heavyweight champion boxer. They go back to singing. They might be tired out from wailing on you with this hammer of a microphone. That said the internals should withstand some abuse, not that I want to drop it.The chrome steel is shinier than you'd get with a brushed steel Shure 55SH, so even as a prop a flash from a camera is going to be a blinding sunburst. We've all been behind the car in bright sun or been flashed by a camera LED flash bulb. still with all the negatives, it's a solid value. Recording & performing with it might have it's challenges.The mic I got is spec'ed to be on all the packaging. I prefer the spec & dimension numbers of the actual product to to those indicated on the html web site in parenthesis below:Frequency Range: 50Hz-15KHz (80-12K indicated)Sensitivity: -51 +/- 3 dB (-75 dB indicated)Mic Output Impedance: 600 Ohm +/- 30 Ohm (612 Ohms actual multimeter reading at the 1/4" TS)Dimensions: 2.2x3.1x7.4 (2.2x2,8x7.4 indicated)

Right out of the package, I decided to go full throttle and test it in a recording setting.The vocal sound quality is right where I like it. Very comparable to my e835.I decided to use this mic for the recording, because I like the sound so much.Well worth it. Good solid metal build. (I like it better than the vintage Shure)
