Pyle Classic Retro Dynamic Vocal Microphone - Old Vintage Style Unidirectional Cardioid Mic with XLR Cable - Universal Stand Compatible - Live Performance In Studio Recording - PDMICR42SL (Silver)

I was honestly blown away by this microphone! The build quality is solid, and despite being encased in plastic, the chrome finish looks sleek, shiny, and high-end—it definitely has that classic retro vibe. No quality control issues at all, everything was in perfect shape right out of the box.The most surprising part? The audio quality is extremely crisp, with great volume output—easily competing with mics that cost way more from big-name brands. Whether for recording, live performances, or just adding some vintage flair to your setup, this mic delivers.If you’re looking for a stylish, well-built, and great-sounding microphone at an affordable price, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

This is actually a pro–sounding mic and at an amazing price. Imagine a Shure SM58 at a third of the cost but housed in plastic instead of metal.I did a side-by-side comparison with this mic and a Shure SM58. To my ears, which are pretty sensitive, the two mics sounded identical on vocals (male with range from low F to high G), and I actually preferred it over the SM-58 for an acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. Sorry I didn’t do electrics because I only have a dinky practice amp.I think the trade-off for the low price is in the material. An SM58 is nigh–indestructible, able to take insane forms of abuse from high impacts to freezing, and even cooking. This mic, on the other hand, is a light, rigid plastic of some kind. My initial impressions were just don’t drop it on the floor or anything like that and you’ll be fine, as long as it’s handled carefully. However, the threads for mounting to a stand are also plastic, and I do wonder how long the plastic threads will endure their job without wear. I’ve had no such problems yet, though. If one only uses stands compatible with the metal adapter (included), this should not be a concern.Contrary to amateur complaints…THIS MICROPHONE HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH BUZZ OR RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE.Any such problems come from the CABLE, not from the microphone.The cable included with this microphone is just a bonus; it is of poor quality and not suitable for serious use. Always use a low-impedance (XLR) cable to avoid such problems. No microphone in the world can guarantee a signal free of unwanted interference if it is connected to a cheap high-impedance cable like the one included here. Toss the cable, keep the mic.This is an amazing–sounding dynamic microphone for home/studio use and at very low price; just handle it gently.Oh, and it does look really cool. The photos are accurate.Wishing everyone good health.

I don't know what Oaky means. I have a number of different Pyle microphones, and I've always been pleased with the quality. I bought these retro-style mics to add a bit more stylistic flare to whenever we have a Karaoke event. I like the look of them, they're sturdily built. I wish they weren't plastic, but to get proper metal ones, I'd need to pay substantially more. The pick up is pretty good on these, and I appreciate that younger kids are less likely to treat these like ice cream cones when they're singing Let it Go for the 78th time.

I bought this mic out of impatience in waiting on a Yoga 50's mic I wont on ebay, and also because it's red and would look great for my band on stage. Oh yeah, and it was super cheap (like $22) lol.When it came in I really wasn't expecting much at all, I already knew it had a plastic shell and I had read some reviews about it before purchase. When it came in I was pleasently surprised that the plastic was nice and thick so I don't expect it to break unless I am trying to break it. The curved back feels great in my hand as I'm singing (I don't use a mic stand)The best surprise was the sound. While this is by no means compariable to a $500+ studio mic, it is way better than the run of the mill mics you are going to buy for $20-$40. It picks up everything very well (and I mean everything so make sure you cover the back if playing live and to keep the noise to a minimum when recording) It sounds way better than the Shure PG58 that we started with (to be fair it's a low end Shure mic that's about 8 years old)I'm not a recording expert, but we did 3 songs with this mic (vocals only, everything else was direct) We did an intro with a speech, an acoustic with clean vocals, and a heavy metal with screams. All of these sound great so far. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cool and inexpensive mic for demos and live shows.

I bought this microphone as a prop for a video we are making in my home studio. It was cheap and looked perfect for my needs so I didn't bother to check the ratings or reviews. I never planned to plug it in. Last night a friend suggested we plug it in out of curiosity so we did (using a proper XLR cable, not the 1/4" that came with it). Jaw drop time! Need I say more? At this price, buy it and you won't be disappointed. Looks cool and sounds great.

Este micrófono es genial, lo uso para cantar karaoke en vivo y mi voz sale por el speaker súper profesional. Lo recomiendo!

Looks awesome and works great when connected to my mixer

I gig regularly with this thing, so far am very happy with it. It’s plastic but sturdy enough I leave it on the stand in a bag with other stands I carry in and out of gigs. I can’t tell the difference sound-wise between this and the Behringer 58 clones I used to use and vanity wise I’m way cooler with this one. If you’re into the magic a mic adds to your voice maybe spring for a beta 58, you’re probably not looking for a retro mic anyway. The only knock I have is the stand threads are plastic, may not last, we’ll see. First handful of gigs no problems, if it craps out I’ll buy another.EDIT: after a month or of use 2-3 times a week the threads let go a little. Mic stand threads are plastic, heads up. Still works but won’t hold up long term.
