Shure sm 58 is the standard of the industry. It's also indestructible.

Sm58 is muddy, i. E. It is way too muddy. Could have also been a fake not sure. I'm returning the entire kit to amazon.

Whereas this mic that i bought here feels quite lightweight in comparison.

Vocal mic is industry standard for vocals, and also good with a guitar amp. It does not need 48v of power like other condenser mics do so you can just plug and play. Overall a very good mic.

The sound is crisp and clear. I have it running through my mixer and the sound is impeccable.

None of the components were wrapped in plastic bags. I'm not sure if i received a fake or if this one is just a bad apple. I have to use all of my gain on my focusrite scarlet solo (3rd gen) and that causes a lot of noise in my recording.
