Great mic but I have a few advisers for potential buyers
What an amazing cost effective microphone which sounds amazing! - I did however return mine as it didn’t really work with my voice . Be aware if your a streamer or podcaster or contented with a face cam , unless you are prepared to be eating the mic , it’s not the mic for you. I found even with the gain at about 90% on my scarlet interface , I had to have the capsule about an inch away from the mic to pick me up clearly. So a condenser mic is probably better suited for you for that. If your looking for an SM7B type of sound, but can’t quite afford the SM7B - get the SM57, A55M, A2WS - a bit of processing and you’ll get that sound. I have an SM7B , which I love! And comparing to the SM57 and that there is a £300 price difference I think the SM57 is awesome. Although like I mentioned earlier you have to eat the SM57 for it to pick you up clearly, whereas the SM7B is more forgiving as to how close you have to have it to your mouth. Overall , I know I returned mine as I didn’t like how it sounded with my voice , if your looking for great audio for vocal and streaming join the SM57 with the A55M shockmount and A2WS windscreen and a decent usb interface and you’ll be away !

Ubiquitous
I'm not a fan of this mic on electric guitar cabs (prefer condensers and fuller range dynamics to this), but this does shine on percussive sounds, acoustic guitar, and experimental impulse response creation duties.

Legendary, Built Like a Tank, Perfect for Almost Any Sound Source
The Shure SM57 is a staple, and there’s a reason it’s in almost every studio on the planet. Whether you’re recording vocals, guitar amps, drums, or just about any other instrument, this microphone delivers a clean, full-bodied sound every time. It’s rugged and reliable, so you don’t have to worry about it breaking down easily—mine has survived drops, intense volume levels, and all kinds of abuse without missing a beat. For its price, it’s almost unbelievable how well it captures sound, especially mid-range tones. The SM57 can handle high sound pressure levels with zero distortion, making it perfect for live settings too. If you want a professional, workhorse mic that will deliver in almost any situation, look no further.

Great all round instrument mic.
After much research to establish this was the genuine article (there are so many fakes on the market) I finally purchased this mic. Not disappointed and it lives up to it's reputation as a very robust and great all round instrument mic.

Its an SM57, if you're recording, you need one of these.
Anyone who knows what an SM57 is doesnt really need to read this review, but there you go. It's a classic dynamic mic, low noise level, looks the part, very clear. At least one of your favourite songs was probably recorded on one of these, and for so cheap!

Nice little mic
Depending on how you use it i found it needs some sort of boost, ie, compression or some sort of gain which i have. The clarity of this mic is lmpressive. Well worth the price, ive always prefered a shure mic, and tis one is no exception.

I tried a far cheaper Devine dynamic mic that performed way better.

Amazing versatile microphone! There's a reason why this mic is used in the majority of modern rock records since the 80s. It is not only for recording, but also for ASMR and podcasting. This IS the essential utility microphone and I had to see it to believe it.
