It's never easy being forced to re-think your whole ethos on things like microphones. We're all told from day one in sound engineering that for...

Excellent microphone

I bought a pair of these to add to my microphone collection which I use to record a four piece (Vocals, drums, Bass and Guitar) pop / rock band. I...

RichardH59 on 2018/05/04

Surprised by the sheer class and quality...

While I have many hi-end microphones for my studio, I still like diving in with cheap entry level or knock off mics. You never know what you'll...

Great alternative for the classical SM57

It sounds great and it feels as sturdy as any other mic. We've been using it to mic a guitar amp for recording and rehearsals and we really have no...

Don't let the price fool you, this is a very good mic and, other than the name, it is very VERY similar to the... uhn... original i guess?! :p prob...

superb clone!

owning a sm57 i was curious to see what this clone could do at a mere fraction of the cost so i decided to take the plunge and wow was i surprised!...

Ross C. on 2013/05/17

Sell your SM57 and buy 3 of these instead!

Fantastic mic! Heard a lot of good things about it so I bought it to check it out. Me and a couple of friends did a blind test between this and a...

Jimmyrockali on 2018/01/05

Decent microphone for that price, but overall quality isn't very good. Also this microphone doesn't have a transformer at output, so it is prone to...

amazing value alternative

this microphone is an obvious copy of an industry standard mic but at a considerably lower price, i bought a couple of these in with another order...

NicholasV on 2013/06/04

Excellent value microphone

Bought two of these as a cheaper alternative to SM57. I am only in a pub band but we mic everything. They sound great and have been reliable, not a...

Cheaper than an SM57 but not much inferior.

This is a surprisingly sturdy feeling mic. Some cheap microphones are so light that you can't help having little faith in them This doesn't feel...

buddhuu on 2017/08/11

Very good alternative to SM57

I bought a second T.Bone mb75 to match the other one I had. I use them for live gigs in a club, to mike the guitar amps, and the difference between...

Good value for the price

I bought this microphone as a backup. I already own a Shure sm57 and I was very curious about this mic. Since it looks pretty much like the well...

Better than Shure...

I've had an original 57 for years & needed an extra for recording more amps. I was a little hesitant at first due to the low price, but to my...

Guitariste59 on 2019/10/01

Great low-price alternative for snare or other high SPL sources

Although I don't necessarily have the most experience with the real SM57 so I wouldn't be in the position to make comparisons I do know the...

Cheap and GOOD!

I bought this to record my guitar, and it just awesome! My friend has the shure57 and it sound really THE SAME! Awesome Thomman, as always!

Pull-OH on 2018/03/19

Good but not quite a 57!

I have tested this mic using Audiomatica Clio at 90dBSPL reference against an SM57. above 300hz they are virtually identical but the slope below...

Good mic for recording amps

This is my first mic to record amps with, and i absolutely love it, it sounds good, especially for the price!

Great mic.

You are wondering what first mic to buy. OK. The answer is in front of you. I often tracking vocals, guitars, drums, just name it.... with Shure...

Teodor on 2013/11/17

Is it a Shure mic?

That is what you'll get asked. It clearly looks like a very popular instrument mic, and as far as I can tell sounds very similar. It might not be as...

on 2014/06/15

WOW! Why bother buying an SM57?

I bought this microphone on the recommendation of highly respected music producer and youtube reviewer Henning Pauly (EytschPi42). I didn't want to...

Surprisingly good performer.

I purchased this microphone hoping that it was going to be a reasonable performer, but without any high expectations considering the price. I was...

microphone review

Very cheap and cheerful. i would not recommend this for anything more than miking up an amplifier at a pub gig. But it does do the job.

Ross E. on 2013/05/15

These are amazing

I bought two of these. They look like their Shure counterpart and they also sound very similar, in fact, one of these in the back of a Cajon in my...

brilliant budget alternative

I now own 3 of these mics and have used them to great effect both in recording and live situations. They give a great clarity of tone without...

Cheap Alternative to the SM57

This microphone is clearly based on a Shure SM57, and t.bone have done a very good job building this microphone. It sounds great - just as good, if...

Sam P. on 2013/05/15

T.Bone Steak - Medium Rare

These mics seem to be a clone of the Shure SM57. They are just as good and at a third of the price!!

Daniel Y. on 2013/05/15

Almost a 57!!

This mic is very useful and is built well and feels just like a genuine 57 when held. When doing some A/B tests with the real thing, it lacked a bit...

Ahmad K. on 2013/12/01

one of the best mics almost for free!

considering it costs only 30 euro it is THE best mic in the world! :) I would and have recommended this to anyone - unless you're using elite gear...

Arnis on 2013/12/04

The swiss army knife of recording... For less?

First of all, I was very sceptic about this product when ordering it. At a glance it just seemed like a look-a-like of the famous SM57, but the...

Janne7110 on 2013/12/04

Decent for a cheap mic

This mic is a bit flimsy - particularly the capsule cover - but overall decent enough for a live mic. In terms of recording I'd rather go for the...

Lee D. on 2014/01/27

classic sound for low budget

Very fast after buying my first microphone i realized that it is not ideal to use a big condenser mic for home recording in front of the cabinet in...

BastianN on 2014/02/12

Good value mic
