Best vintage microphone around for the price!
This is a great microphone! it has that vintage look and very reasonably priced. The sound quality is excellent as one would expect from SHURE. Comes with an adaptor ring which enables it to be screwed onto American type mic stands. Great buy!

Excellent microphone
A really good sound through this. Once on the stand it’s a little tight to get the lead in, but an excellent quality solid piece of equipment.

Great looks, sound less so.
Bought three of these for my wife’s female vintage harmony trio. Up to now they have used SM58’s, which sound great, but we wanted the vintage look. On the plus side they do look great. They have a matt metal finish which I much prefer to anything shiny or blingy. In the hand they feel like a well made, reassuringly heavy item. So, on the aesthetic front, ten out of ten. The sound, generally, is very good. I believe they use the SM58 cartridge and so it should be. The problem lies with the lack of wind shielding. Breath sounds, pops and plosives are very prominent. With the three of them singing and the backing track playing the problem is somewhat masked. On quieter solo songs it is, in my opinion, unacceptable. It was my vote to send them back but the ladies have fallen in love with the way they look and are willing to accept the odd explosive “p” and “b”.

Look Good, Sound Good.
Good price and obviously it's Shure! I've wanted one of these for years and it looks and feels great. Friends have commented on how good I found now too. I have friends who have had the £50 they look ok, but the sound and plastic feel doesn't cut it. Don't buy those!

One of my favourite things to own!
One of my favourite things to own! Looks beautiful and has a good sound. My band's singer prefers to use my Shure 55 over her superior sound quality microphone because its so pleasing to use. To be honest the sound is very convincing as well especially for jazz musicians even though I wouldn't suggest recording with it.

Just buy it - it’s awesome sauce
So I purchased the Shure 55sh series ii and as an owner of a Shure MV7 USB Mic I wasn’t sure if I really needed this new mic or just wanted it because it was sexy. But I arrived and I tested it out and I don’t know how it’s possible but it sounds better than the MV7. This is a heavy duty, metal quality, Mic. Hands-down, one of the nicest audio pieces of equipment I have in my studio. I am in love with this thing. So much so I’m gonna give my other Shure MV7 mic to my son. And use this vintage Shure 55 sh mic as my full-time solution. Just buy the mic. It’s awesome sauce.
