phantom power isnt a probloem at all, my device provides it

ya i just looked at reviews for the shure sm58 and pretty much every single review says they are very reliable and will last decades

but i dont freakin care how reliable it is, i dont want a mic that is reliable i want a mic that sounds fantastic. and alot of ppl said that sm57 and 58 are outdated and new technology beats them easy
im not gigging and touring with my mic.. its going to sit in my room for about 3 years. so no thanks to the shure sm's

lol k, but who says there outdated

Its your choice man. But one time when you trip on a chord or a your cat/dog/idiot friend/family member accidentally knocks the mic stand down and your $300 fragile ass mic hits the ground you are going to be bumming when it breaks on you. Don't think I am judging you or telling you not to get the mic you want, I am just speaking of experience with equipment, and the shure mics I have used always sounded great as well as being able to beat someone to death with it without scratching it

those are a couple of really good mics for studio use. ive used both rhode and audio technica and love them.

well im just judging on whats happened so far
and so far

my mic hasnt fallen over one time and no one has tripped on the chord or anything and i dont have dogs and my cats dont chew through wires lol

so i just want a mic that sounds good
