Is it any good, I got a brand new one for next to nothing today from the store I buy most of my stuff from. He knew I was in the market for a wired mic and was looking at the Shure, he thought the Samson was a lot nicer mic.

Your thoughts?

I did sound for a band a few years ago where 1 of the guys used one. Sounded a lot like a Shure SM58, so if you got it cheap, it will serve well for spoken duties. Wasn't a favorite for singing, so there is some slight difference to a SM58.

I can recommend you a wired Mic for $20.00 that sounds very similar to the SM 58. Some years ago I saw some at an Electronics Surplus place here in Houston and bought about 4. One of the ODJTers here bought one and is very happy with it. I was very skeptical but my regular Karaoke Singers were always choosing it even though the Shure was available. Let me find an online link.

Here it is: Very heavy like the SM 58 http://www.amazon.com/Studio-pro-microphone-case-extras/dp/B001VNGXOC

Here they write about it being designed after the SM58: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Professiona...=US_Pro_Audio_Microphones&hash=item5653581bac

Yes .. seems to sell for $100 everywhere (same as the SM58) and the cord is worth another $15+, so nice find.
