Review: SOUNDS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS! - I have owned the Shure 55SH mic in the past, and though it's looks were killer, I was never happy with the sound. It doesn't matter how good a mic looks on the stage, if it doesn't sound good, then it has no place there other than being a prop. At first I was turned off by the blue foam of the Super 55, but then I was struck with the idea of pairing it with bright blue XLR mic cables, and I thought it would really be a "signature" look and would pop. My biggest concern, of course, was the sound. I did a little research, and was happy to read that the Super 55 is a supercardioid mic based on the Beta 58a, which I love. This mic looks great and sounds great too. Bright and clear, with a great "sweet spot," and also does well on the lows. Some reviews have dinged this mic for being bad with plosives (b's and p's), but even using it with novices at an open mic, I found this not to be the case at all. Excellent gain before feedback allows for this mic to be close to stage monitors and gain cranked without any worries. Love my Super 55's!
Review: Mic - Perfect mic. It did exactly what i needed it to do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mic
*by J***S on January 10, 2026*

Perfect mic. It did exactly what i needed it to do.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stunning Sound
*by B***E on March 26, 2024*

I was using a decent condenser mic that was dropped and only half of it worked. I was looking for a replacement, but didn't want to spend a ton. I needed a good mic for both gigs and studio recording. Well, after researching quite a bit, and finding out that this mic doesn't need phantom power to work, I decided to splurge a bit and get it. I'm a singer/guitarist (singer first, guitarist second), and I love condenser mics for how they capture vocal sounds. I expected a lot from this mic because it's a Shure, and I am NOT disappointed as all! The sound quality is stunning both live and in-studio. The only thing I've noticed is that when I use it live, the PA gain has to be turned up quite a bit, which has (sometimes) caused some feedback when the guitar gain is up as well. I don't think that's a problem with the mic, though. It's more of a problem because I play guitar quietly sometimes. The fact that I have a condenser mic that does NOT REQUIRE phantom power is wonderful. It adds so much more to the mic's usefulness and versatility. But really, I can't get over the sound quality. Stunning. For the price, which was a little steep for me, I think it probably far outshines other condenser mics out there. In addition, it seems to be very well built. And, it's gorgeous to boot. Note: I (like several others) purchased the Aenllosi hard carrying case as part of a bundle from Amazon. I strongly recommend getting a hard case for this mic if you plan to move it around. It's well-built, but it's still a condenser mic, and I don't want to take any chances.
