Obligatory SM58 plug here!

Seriously though, in my experience, I generally care more about the brand then the price. A low price mic may always be low price, but a good brand is almost always a safe choice.

I can't say I have done as much recording as others, but for all the live shows and events I've worked over the years I keep coming back to Shure.

They are companies that have their strengths elsewhere, but I consistently had issues using Behringer, Samson, and Line 6 Mics.

Interesting to hear about the Sony though. I would never have had thought to even try, they really make good everything don't they.

C-sharp when you cross the street… or you’re going to B-flat.
