Well, for those who say this microphone isn't as good as a Shure SM58, you're right. It's much better. Warmer, clearer, larger sweet spot, more output before feedback. I don't understand the reviews describing this mic as muddy. I had it side by side with an SM58 plugged directly into a JBL EON with flat EQ. I tried the SM58 first then the e835. It was like wiping the fog off of a window. Suddenly I could "see" what I was missing in the aural spectrum. I put my SM58 on Craigslist about 2 hours after buying one of these. Don't hesitate. This is the new industry standard.
