    • True to voice especially in chest register, boost to lows
Style: D5
I really enjoyed this microphone and it felt that the higher range of any person's voice did not feel boxed in and restrained. The opposite was true, it felt open and true to the tonalities in that register. This allowed for a more real sounding microphone versus a over-processed or bottom-heavy microphone in the upper chest register. The lows do have some boost, which for my voice was a god-send as it suited my voice. I did manage to break off the protective cap on the microphone from frequent use and dropping the mic and to its credit, it's still working fine. It can sound a bit tinny / metally / mid-range, but if you can EQ it via a console, or if used on the right voice type this can be a pro versus a con. I enjoyed thoroughly using this microphone and felt that its reproduction of human voice was very honest yet still flattering. ... show more

    • I Am a Vocalist (and VERY PICKY about My Microphone!)
Style: D5
I already own an AKG D3800 which was discontinued years ago but is my absolute can't-live-without microphone. I bring the D3800 with me everywhere I go when singing with other people. So, when I started looking for additional mics for other people who sing with me, I wanted to find "affordable" mics that had the best sound quality. I wanted to find a mic that I would use myself if I didn't have my D3800. The MAIN thing that matters to me is microphone sensitivity and quality/tone of vocals. It can be hard to compete with all the other instruments (especially during practices and with guitar players with amps), so the microphone MUST be able to pick up my voice without me having to scream to be heard. This AKG D5 does the job and is absolutely the best for this price range. It's *almost* as good as my D3800 (which cost more than twice as much). I compared the AKG D5 to the Sennheiser e835. The AKG D5 is louder and has more high end. And as far as comparing to the Shure SM58... I can't stand the Shure SM58. Why do people keep buying those?? They're horrible for vocalists. They don't pick up the sound as well, and they're muddy, in my humble opinion. The Sennheiser e935 is slightly better than this AKG D5, but it's also a lot more expensive. I'm so happy with this AKG D5 that I'm going to buy more of them to have on hand for the other vocalists who practice with me. I definitely recommend this microphone. Happy singing! ... show more

    • Huge step up from SM58 and the like
Style: D5
For the same money as the most popular stage vocal mic, these produce much smoother tone, with more directivity and rejection of feedback, as well as being just as durable. There are other options but these are an excellent choice if you prefer a bit less compression and nasal tone that typifies the SM58 and its imitators. ... show more

    • Give them a try
Style: D5
I think it is one of the best economy dynamic vocal mics on the market. The band especially likes the lack of sensitivity to handling noise. In addition, the proximity effect is not as major as it is on some vocal mics. Whether the singer is "up close and personal" or back a foot or so from the mic, the AKG D5 does a fine job. If you need an economy class dynamic mic, give it a try. It may become your go-to mic. ... show more

    • Great Overall Handheld Dynamic Microphone
Style: D5
I've been using this microphone for over 3 years ever since I bought it during a flash sale on Amazon. It's hard to go wrong with a dynamic microphone these days. Out of the box, this microphone sounds great for my voice which is I think in the baritone range, but whether or not this mic will be fitting for your voice will have to be determined by you. How you like the sound is all just preference. I've been using it with a Behringer UMC204HD audio interface and it just works. I do tend to talk very close to the mic which causes it to sound a bit boomy, so I do cut off some of the low and high end frequencies with an EQ, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. It's solidly built with an all-metal construction and looks sleek in all black with the gray ring accent over the capsule grill. ... show more

    • I LOVE this Mic!
Style: D5
I have been using a Peavey for years, (early 80s). I did quite a bit of research and had seen this listed as one of the “Top Five” on several sites. I’m getting older and I don’t have the pipes I used to. This Mic helps with that. I don’t have to “push” as hard not sing as loudly with this Mic. This does 1) Saves my voice, 2)Doesn't tire me out as easily, 3) Makes my voice sound so much more “Alive”. A great mic for live sound. I’ve not used it in recording yet but once I do, I’ll report back. ... show more

    • Very nice sounding mic!
Style: D5
I bought this mic as an additional option to the other $100 category vocal mics that I own. Namely, the Shure Beta 58 and Audix OM-2, which are also very popular vocal mics. In comparison, this mic falls in between these two. The Shure Beta 58 is the hottest of the three and has the most pronounced high mid frequencies. This also makes it more prone to feedback. The OM-2 is a very smooth and even sounding mic. More high end sizzle than the 58 and more lows as well, but less mids. So this is where the D5 fits in the mix. It has the same lows and highs as the OM-2, but just a little more high mid presence. Not as much as the 58. So in order: Audix OM2 - Very smooth/even response. AKG D5 - Smooth/ even repsonse and Shure Beta 58 - pronounced high mids. The Shure has the least amount of handling noise, while the others are a little louder but not too bad. The next mic I want to add to my arsenal is the Blue Encore 100, which I've heard is also very good. You can't go too wrong with any of these four mics, but if you are looking for subtle differences to accomodate different vocalists, hopefully this review can help you. For the price, it's worth a try. ... show more
