Tons of professionals I know are always hyping about how great the SM57 & SM58 are. I actually know a high school teacher who bought 30 SM58s and keeps them in a gigantic lockbox under their soundboard in the auditorium "just in case".
Personally, I don't think they're all that great. For the money, I think you could get an AKG or Sennheiser mic (the 835 in particular) that performs better.
The Beta57 and Beta58 are good, though. I like those alot. Shure also has a condenser handheld mic for like 170 US that I've heard wonders about.
What do you guys think????
