  • Stunning Sound
Style: Supercardioid
I was using a decent condenser mic that was dropped and only half of it worked. I was looking for a replacement, but didn't want to spend a ton. I needed a good mic for both gigs and studio recording. Well, after researching quite a bit, and finding out that this mic doesn't need phantom power to work, I decided to splurge a bit and get it. I'm a singer/guitarist (singer first, guitarist second), and I love condenser mics for how they capture vocal sounds. I expected a lot from this mic because it's a Shure, and I am NOT disappointed as all! The sound quality is stunning both live and in-studio. The only thing I've noticed is that when I use it live, the PA gain has to be turned up quite a bit, which has (sometimes) caused some feedback when the guitar gain is up as well. I don't think that's a problem with the mic, though. It's more of a problem because I play guitar quietly sometimes. The fact that I have a condenser mic that does NOT REQUIRE phantom power is wonderful. It adds so much more to the mic's usefulness and versatility. But really, I can't get over the sound quality. Stunning. For the price, which was a little steep for me, I think it probably far outshines other condenser mics out there. In addition, it seems to be very well built. And, it's gorgeous to boot. Note: I (like several others) purchased the Aenllosi hard carrying case as part of a bundle from Amazon. I strongly recommend getting a hard case for this mic if you plan to move it around. It's well-built, but it's still a condenser mic, and I don't want to take any chances. ... show more

  • A New Oldie and Goodie
Style: Supercardioid
I'm doing a Remembering the Rat Pack show in October. I am wanting to put on an over-the-top show, and so when I saw this style of microphone I made it to the peak! It not only looks and feels awesome, but it also compliments my voice in a way that far exceeded my expectations. I'm running this through a power mixer, so there is plenty of power available for hitting the back of any dance hall through this setup. One of the most annoying occurrences while singing is that "pop" noise you get with lyrics that start with "b" or "p" (and others). I'm not sure if it is my experience alone that makes me avoid this sound or it may be the blue screen that surrounds the pick-up coil. Either way, I can belt out some of Frank's loud songs from about 9" away and it sounds amazing with no "pops." I highly recommend this microphone for anyone who is looking for that retro look and still wants to be heard! ... show more

  • Super 55 = Supper Happy
Style: Supercardioid
Really a fantastic microphone. I connect it with Shure MVX2U audio interface. Sounds crystal clear. I like the fact that it does not enhance the lower frequency part of your voice, so your voice will not sound muffled. Very good for video calls such as MS teams, Zoom, Skype, etc. Very happy with it.

  • Real nice Microphone
Style: Supercardioid
Bought this for my vocalist in my rock band. From previous reviews and descriptions, I thought we would need the Cloud lifter, power booster that is mentioned for this mic. This is not the case for us, this mic is powerful by itself. It booms through and not having feedback issues where other mics (SM57,58) are having that issue in a tight jam room. The classic look is really cool, my vocalist likes the mic. ... show more

  • Great microphone... Be aware of the features before you buy
Style: Cardioid
The iconic look of the Shure 55SH microphone is enough to justify it's purchase, but it helps to compare it with the similar (and considerably more expensive) "Super 55" also offered by Shure. While the 55SH is more affordable and offers the additional feature of a switch, it isn't as sensitive as some of Shure's other excellent microphones. You can compensate for this either by increasing the gain on the amp or using a PA preamp, and with those considerations the mic performs extremely well, especially in live conditions. The effective "super-cardoid" pickup pattern means that monitors can be placed directly in front of the singer and it will not feedback. I've used it for several months now in a swing band, and we love the way it looks and the way the singers look and sound when they are using it. The only cons I can offer are a) we thought we would like the switch on the front, but it turns out that the switch can accidently be turned off by the singer (problem until the singer figures out what happened), and b) a singer who prefers to hold the mic in their hand will not like the heavy weight... it's meant to stay attached to the mic stand. We solved the first problem by putting a clear plastic guide over the switch plate to hold the switch in the "on" position. Remember this mic is meant to mimic the "good old days" when microphones were big, heavy things and no one held them in their hands. Elvis used mics like this when he first started, and radio announcers could hide behind their mics. Shure holds it's retailers to a minimum retail price, so it's hard to get a deal on one of these. We were happy with the sturdy brushed chrome construction and performance of the mic, and I've already been asked to allow friends to borrow it for special functions. This one's a keeper! Bottom line is... you can get smaller Shure mics that sound just as good or better, but if you want both retro looks and great performance, the Shure 55SH will be your first choice. ... show more
