Microphone: SM58 (Limited Edition - Black)
Rating: Excellent (5 out of 5)

Advantages of the microphone:
Small and not in the way so it's great for video calls and chatting without a massive obstruction. Not too heavy, so any mic arm can easily hold the weight. Dynamic so it provides excellent background noise rejection and very good quality of audio.
Disadvantages of the microphone:
The integrated pop filter isn't the greatest. It can sound a little boomy in the low end for male speakers. A bit hard to power without a cloud lifter, but it's still usable with a decent audio interface with good preamps.
Author’s comment:
Very good mic for the price, it's well regarded for professional use for a reason. Defintely recommended for anyone looking for something like the SM7B without the steep price tag. Hard to find too much to fault with it at the price it's at.
