A solid entry level mic.  Not as much gain nor is the shock mounting as good as the SM58, but better than anything else I have found at this price.  Best as a mic for spoken word use, but not bad as a vocal or instrument mic.  On the other hand if you drop the $$$ on say an AKG-535 you will notice a huge difference.  It is a dynamic mic. so it has to be used in very close proximity to the source, so don't expect it (or any mic like it) to pick up much once it is more than a few inches from the source.  Pretty rugged and reliable, and the cable isn't bad.
