Pros & Cons
Pros
Gls audio's es-57 is a $30 mic fashioned after shure’s industry-standard sm57. It has a little more volume than the sm57 and is perhaps a tad too hyped in the mid-range, giving it lots of presence but a slightly unnatural megaphone-like color. The mid... Read More
It is solidly constructed and seems very reliable. I was impressed by their clarity and warmth. Thanks gls for the craftmanship put into this stage mic.
Imo, the gls es-57 goes toe-to-toe with any mic i ever heard in the $100-$150 range - and blows them all away in terms of value. Comparable brand name microphones cost close to $100 so this is a excellent value.
Everything coming thru this mic sounds wonderful right off the bat. This microphone is perfect for it's intentions. This mic is simply awesome.
Cons
A 50/50 chance that this mic will not operate is unacceptable. Go ahead and spend the extra couple of dozen bucks for a shure sm-57.
Highlights
Quality
The build quality is solid as a rock and the sound is great especially for the price
I am very pleased with this gls product
And a lot of bar sound guys will mic your amp with the same thing and i used to own a really nice 100 senheiser vocal mic
It still produces a lot of bleed off axis but the sound quality really drops off
Price
Amazing sound and cant beat the price
Overall i really like them especially considering the price
Not only that but the retail price has gotten even cheaper
For the price i just paid 20
Shipping
I have also bought many of their other products and havent been disappointed with quality price or shipping
Competitiveness
Sounds great and at half the price of their competitors
It was soooo much less painful buying two of these mics for less than half the price of a sm57
Theres a certain strain of internet discourse that inspires people to engage in rhetorical competition like every musician you ... Read More
I can compare with other brand like shure with much higher price

The gls picked up more subsonic rumble maybe something happening outside this would just get highpassed out in any real situation

I certainly wouldnt say the gls is worse just a little different and a gentle high boost would practically zero out the differences

It actually seems a little warmer in the midrange but i cant really decide which one is best

I was looking to getting back into recording but didnt want to spend too much

Theres a certain strain of internet discourse that inspires people to engage in rhetorical competition like every musician you run into on public threads on facebook is the expert on all things and will prove it by making claims of ownership experience without regard to truth since you can never go wrong if you take the most extreme position
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So to sum up there are people on here telling you this mic doesnt measure up to the shure sm57 because theyre experts and theyve owned everything and they know
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
And they dont and most of them are full of crap anyway
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This thing sounds great it may even be a better mic
