I decided to buy this mic after a friend recommended it for recording electric guitar amps and snares.
After years using the sm57 I didn't think I would have found a replacement, but man! This one is a keeper!
It's got a firmer and less honky sound than the Shure and delivers a better result on most of the usual instruments you usually record with a 57.
What more could you want for 100 bucks? Highly recommended!

strong odor but works good
Rhymebeg 19.09.2022
Sound quality is fine, and noise from handling is ok. The strong odor is from red painted windproof inside the capsule which actually can be removed but I use it as is to prevent sound coloration with the close mouth positioning. Just keeping the microphone in its soft case in a ventillated place :-) If the lights are turned off on stage, you will find it by smell

better than 57
djlawris 04.02.2019
i enjoy this mic. especially for the snare drum. it has a little tighter polar patern, so the hi hat bleeds less in to the microphone. also, the frequency response is wider, i get little more stick attack does not need to be boosted as much in high mid-high fq area. Never used it for guitars, but i imagine it would work with no problemo. Its similiar to a beta57 in my opinion. Recommend it

Too much handling noise
fiddleseth 11.02.2022
These mics sound great, but suffer from an unusual amount of handling noise. I have 2 V7Xs and 3 V7s and they all have this problem. On loud sources and voices they work fine, but on quiet sources you'll be picking up the subwoofer and every footstep on the stage through the mic stand. Sure, you can EQ it out, but then the mic doesn't sound as good. I'm going to be purchasing some shock mounts, but I don't feel like I should have to because these are handheld mics. SE really needs to redesign the internal shock mount.
