But keep in mind that if your eorroed about the handling noise, you'll be paying a little more for that too

Adding dampening material SEEMS to have reduced SOME of the handling noise, but it still has this very harsh tin can sound whenever anything sharp like a hard enunciated T or P hits it.

Lighweight feel, too much high end, lots of handling noise

It's also the heaviest of the bunch, the least handling noise, and the most expensive at a whopping $19.99!All 5 of these mics can be made to sound very similar to one another with a simple 2 band

Without any equalization or post-processing applied, a friend of mine who does professional sound work describes it as adequate, but he'd never use it because of the handling noise and build quality issues

not as nice as an

I highly recommend as long as it is paired with a better mic cable.

It compares very favorably to my Shure SM58, which it is designed to look like as well as to my older Shure Beta Green mics.

Looking into it's competitor made by Shure, I was a little bit skeptical as to the quality.
