Pyle Microphone - Professional Dynamic Vocal Microphones, with ON/OFF Switch, Dynamic Cardioid, Handheld Mic for Singing, w/ 4.5 m – XLR Audio Cable, Compatible for Karaoke-Speaker-Speech-Amp-Mixer

**Title: Really solid microphone for the price** I picked up this Pyle professional dynamic microphone recently and I am actually surprised by how good it is. I wasn't sure what to expect given how affordable it is, but the build quality feels very sturdy and it has a nice weight to it in your hand. In terms of sound, it is very clear. It does a great job of picking up my voice without capturing too much background noise, which is exactly what you want from a dynamic mic. I have used it for both vocals and some basic recording, and it performs consistently well every time. The on/off switch is also a handy feature that works smoothly without making a loud clicking sound through the speakers. Overall, if you are looking for a reliable, budget-friendly microphone that feels like it can handle being moved around, this is a great choice. It is definitely a good one for anyone starting out or needing a dependable spare.

I have given this microphone five stars because for the money it is brilliant. It sounds good and like the excellent SM57 it copies, it is a very good general purpose microphone. I've not used it yet on toms, snare or guitar cabinets, but I assume it will handle such roles well. I always preferred an SM57 on vocals to the almost ubiquitous SM58 provided the singer had a pure sounding voice, and I'm guessing that this mic will perform well in such a role too. It is far more feedback resistant than I dared hope; on test I could use it extremely close to and almost on axis with nearfield monitors without feedback, which is excellent. Incidentally, for anyone who has used an SM57 on snares, a role to which it is quite well suited although not as well suited as the sublime Sennheiser MD441, this cheapo Pyle Pro copy does have a distinct advantage. The SM57 top is held in place by a copper spring clip and all too often an over-enthusiastic drummer would knock the end off with his sticks,resulting in searches on hand and knees on the stage after the gig. Frequently, the clip would be lost and would result in a long wait for my supplier to obtain spares for me. This mic seems to be free of clip fastening. I've not discovered how the end is fixed but it does seem sturdier than on the mic it copies. This mic does have one significant disadvantage though which may not effect everyone, but as an avowed lover of capacitor mics, this microphone does not like phantom power. As yet I haven't found out why, but used on a desk with global phantom power, there is a distinctive mains-like hum. Using the mic with an active DI box enables the use of the mic noiselessly with phantom power switched on, but it does tie up a DI. A warning applicable to any mic as well as this one is that under no circumstances should you try and fit a male XLR connector to replace the 1/4 inch jack. The cable itself is totally unsuitable for use on a balanced microphone, but if anyone tried wiring a male XLR onto the cable in the same fashion as the female XLR, will end up destroying this (and any) microphone if connected to phantom power with the supplied cable. If uncertain of this warning, check 'phantom power' on t'internet. In summary, it does seem remarkable that anyone is able to manufacture a microphone of this quality, ship it half way around the world and sell it for under a tenner. Despite that, this is a perfectly useable mic and looks to be sturdily enough constructed to make it quite reliable in use. The 15 foot microphone cable is fairly naff, but the microphone itself would still be a bargain at twice the price.

For the price, I don't think there is a single microphone that can compete. It is very good at dealing with background interference (particularly when combined with a decent soundcard - I have Creative's Sound Blaster Z), and the sound quality is outstanding, whilst the volume is perfectly acceptable. The only downside to this microphone is its fragility. The first one of these that I bought fell out of its stand (or the stand got knocked over, cannot remember which), and, unfortunately, the wires to the microphone's magnet detached. They are VERY flimsy wires, but they are long enough for a repair to be attemptable. I predominantly use this video for YouTube gameplay footage, but unfortunately Amazon won't let me link any of the videos, and I don't have the microphone to hand right now (searching Lukeno52 on YouTube, and looking at any video from the last couple of months should give you an idea of what it sounds like). I'd note that the PWM cable is very solid, and should be very durable - but it is also very heavy as a result. If you're using this cable with a device that only has a 3.5mm audio jack, then make sure you get a converter cable, and not a basic adapter - otherwise you risk damaging your port, as happened to me with my computer case's front panel microphone jack.

Plugs into an amp. Has an on/off button, and a long lead. Robust with great quality sound for compering or singing. Excellent for the price. I tried others, but this was the best!

Good mic works well , nice long lead

how are these so cheap i have alway used shure but these feel great and sound awesome they come in a neat hard plastic case with leads as well im blown away

These are great if you are having a home karaoke party. Not suitable for live music or recording. Not so good if you are using a powerful Pa for your home karaoke party. Very good value otherwise

Was okay

Clear and crisp sound, good for karaoke on BlueAnt X4

This microphone honestly exceeded my expectations. I originally bought it because the microphone on my device stopped working, and I needed something quick and reliable, but this turned out much better than I expected. The sound quality is clear, the setup was easy, and it worked perfectly with my device right away. My kids are also absolutely loving it and have been using it nonstop for singing, and playing games. It made everything much more fun for them. I also really liked the design and how lightweight and comfortable it is to use. The connection have been great so far with no major issues. I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, good quality microphone for everyday use or family fun.

Good to singalong

Surprisingly the sound quality is exceptional for this price. Cannot beat the price ❤️😱😱
