Hello,
Just lately a few members on the forum recommended me to get dynamic mic SM57 & SM58 so I got both new Shure SM57 and Sm58 mics
Before buying I watched a few youtube videos how do they sound like and I liked their sound quality...
But after buying I myself also noticed that they don't like they way I listened to them in youtube videos so I posted in one of my posts but nobody paid attention so I though may be it's my thin voice that's why so I let it go.
But recently an honorable member of this forum (when we were discussing about some other topic) he listened to my sample recording and told me it looks like SM57 is counterfeit and he suggested me to weigh both the mics so:
I removed the ball grill from Sm58 and weigh both the mics:
SM57 was: 286
SM58 was 280
I also checked the mic boxes and overall packing and accessories they look original as both the boxes and mics had Shure hologram sticker but these mics don't sound like any youtube video which made with Sm57 and Sm58
Also here I post a few pics of both the mics:

Dropbox - _IMG_0603.jpg - Simplify your life
Dropbox - _IMG_0606.jpg - Simplify your life
Dropbox - _IMG_0614 (2).jpg - Simplify your life
Also I want to mention I paid a lot more than $99 because I had to pay import duty, shipping etc..
Has anyone any idea how to know are these original mics or not?
If anyone is curious to listen the audio samples of my SM57 & Sm58 that how do they sound like then I can also post audio sample here.
Update:
I add this link in case if some needs to listen to the sample recordings:
