Pros: This is a great sounding microphone. from Shopping.com I?ve tried all kinds of mics for my home studio and I now exclusively use the Shure 87/A. Because my house (like most of us) isn?t completely sound proof using standard studio mics just doesn?t work. from Musiciansfriend.com I have used a Shure SM58 for over 25 years. The same mic and usually the best one on stage at any time. from Musiciansfriend.com Feature: no on off switch but that doesnt matter to me Quality: nice looking ,havent had it long enough to see how road worthy, but I wont be throwing it in the air or let anyone borrow it. so if something does happen to it I am sure it will be my own fault Value: as the old saying goes you get what you pay for I payed for an exellent microphone. from Zzounds.com If your like I was, you're probably reading all these reviews trying to figure out which mic is the one for you...let me tell you this, The Beta 87A is the best mic ive ever used hands down. No matter what your style, you can't go wrong with this mic!!!The sound Quality is awsome!!!Just buy it already! from Musiciansfriend.com I put this mic up head to head with the KSM-9 and in my opinion this mic blew it out of the water. In general, this mic favors clarity over warmth and that is why I love it. from Musiciansfriend.com Desirability: i completely want to do this mic!!!! Sound: used this mic after using some nasty ev mics... ive used sm58s and like others i found that they couldnt touch the 87a... from Zzounds.com After using countless large diaphragm condenser mics over the years, I've settled on the Beta 87a and the Beta 58a for my vocal work. I've produced podcasts, spoken word pieces and voiceovers with both of these microphones with superb results with hardly any EQ needed. from Amazon.com Simply put, these mics have incredible punch and clarity. I love the SM-58 and the Beta 58, but this mic bests them by a long shot. from Amazon.com Every positive comment about this microphone is right on. I finally have found a mic that captures every resonance, and clarity. from Amazon.com
