I have a Beta58 and it just doesn’t sound good on my baritone voice. There is a bump in the upper mids that makes my voice sound honky/boxy like I’m singing through a length of PVC pipe. I much prefer the SM57 with a Shure pop filter adapter, much smoother sounding.

Nice review. I prefer the Sennheiser. But I guess, they are both ok.

Turn off the amateur drum beat in the background it’s too distracting

Why do you have this drum beat playing in the background it’s so distracting you can’t get any more amateur than that

SM58 works good for Harmonica as well.

It is how they sound with your own voice that is the most important... Always test a mic before you use, because you might just regret the purchase... 😊

I use 50 eights for everything and not only everything I've been using the same 58 for the last 15 years they're fucking indestructible and they sound amazing and for general use, you can really get by with using them for just about everything they might not excel at anyone given thing, but the fact that you only really need this one Mike for everything you need to do it's pretty damn cool

$150? Try $229 in the color scheme your original pins come with! I bought the chrome with red dots and pocketed the savings for other music gear 👍

Sir, which microphone is your personal microphone that you are speaking on? Its sound is very beautiful

After adding the liquidmetal pins to my D-35, there wasn't a noticeable difference at first, but as I went through my repertoire of songs, I definitely noticed different sounds, tighter pop on several notes up the neck, and an overall fuller sound. The most pronounced differences were in the high B and E strings, especially with a capo. My reason for buying them was to accelerate the break-in of my new (2023) D-35. I know the liquidmetal pins vibrate more, and I know that's going to open up the guitar more/faster... "know" being subjective, of course. I was also influenced by Larrivee's attitude of not liking plastic on a wood guitar. Yes, I could have gone with bone bridge pins, and I've had great success adding bone instead of plastic on other acoustics I own, but I'm able to afford $100 bridge pins so why not. Thanks for the great video!

Annoyingly somebody stole my blue ring off my beta 58 mic when i set mines up in the studio... and Shure charge stupid amounts to replace that...

It's all voice dependent I guess, I never got on with the Beta 58a, the E945 suits my voice much better, I'll try out the Nexadyne next Monday, I'm hoping for the same clarity with better feedback rejection 😉

Martin liquid snake oil pins.

They actually sound quite similar. I actually find the shure can handle plosives better

A lot of money for a little differences

I will use Senheiser e945 on stage for singing.

I've got a SM58 and now I got a Sennheiser 935 for singing mostly Metal. When I switched I never gone back ❤️ loved the Sennheiser at the first try. More clarity, more presence, less muffled.

I both KSM8 i am testing now I dont know what I gone do.

Waste of money 😂

Just considering this amp head for the portability and jack of all trades aspects primarily for jam space. We play a wide variety of music, and I've struggle forever with using an electric acoustic playing through a guitar amp. I need the guitar amp for my electric....Anyway the acoustic is competing against another electric guitar, bass and loud drummer and its impossible using a guitar amp to get the acoustic loud enough without the wild feedback issues (i use a sound hole cover too). I can't really run it through the PA So will this Katana help in that setting for the acoustic guitar? Can you get the volume loud enough? I noticed that there is no feedback control on the Katana if that would help enough. Also the head would be run through a greenbacks cab. Any thoughts on that? Or is there some other solution out there (not PA) for both electric guitar and acoustic to get the acoustic loud enough for band level and not have to carry 2 amps around? Any good pedal preamps into a ss amp perhaps? Thanks - a bunch of questions there - appreciate opinions....Great video too! Peace

Beta 58a high gain is loud mic compared to senn e945..it comes to clarity its little difference by senn..In durable no one can beat the shure microphone the toughest microphone in the world..

Thank you so much! The only good mic i have right now is an sm58 and i knew someone has found the most optimal way to use it to record an acoustic guitar. Thank you again, you're a saint. :)

I love my Shure Sm58 .I use it on vocals as well as instruments . It sounds warm and clear , full and natural, which I prefer. I don’t like the bright and sharp sound from other mic’s .

Your awesome. Thank you. I have bought the bats 58 but knowing of the other one. I might have went with the e945. Thank you again!!! Travis.

Great vid. Would you guys be interested in slapping those pins in a cheaper guitar? There may be better tonal margins available for the pins to work on in a scenario like that.

Sennheiser E945 better

Found myself singing "Well sometimes, I go out by myself" haha great vid bro

Not sure how you reviewed the results yourselves but on my pretty decent stereo monitors it's pretty substantial. I may get some. But arguably slotting your bridge and using solid pins is even better, so not sure yet.

Yikes! That's $300 on a 12 string; nope, nada, ain't happenin'.

Thanks matt, Good Video thanks 😊😊😊

I'M sorry but I can't hear any difference, so I listened again with ear/phones- STILL can't hear any difference???, But never mind I'll check ' em out 😊😊😊

Thanks for the video brother! And what do you prefer between shure 87a and sennheiser e965?

I use Brass custom pins😊

Good to compare against stock. More manufacturers are using these cheaply plastic pins presuming if you want more, you’ll buy better ones if you know better. Compare them against high quality bone (not horn). That’s more likely to be a closer comparison and better value.

All things being equal, the strings still make contact with the bridge ( after the pins ) so how can there be a difference?? Hey, Who’s fooling Who ?🙃

Which one is better for vocoder singing?

It would have been so much better if they were $149.95

So I took out a HELOC, Home Equity Line Of Credit loan, to buy them, not sure that was a brilliant idea ? 😅

For one 😂😂 it's jovi,, Jon Bon Jovie😅😅😅 not bovi bro you'd figure if your going to say that about folks not respecting jovi, you would at least get his name right

"Cigrit"

Sennheiser by far! I use the E935 and it still beats the SM58 for clarity and proximity accuracy.

Until you come across the guy that absolutely does not give a fuck

So.. im gonna just say that the ol "pocket sand!" attack isnt as effective in an actual fight as you may think.. whether its a ciggy or literal sand, it generally just pisses people off, like REALLY pisses them off..

Its a lost ancient art.

😂😂😂😂😂

Gotta come from the park to recognize the park 🤯

“if you’re fighting fair, you’re fighting wrong”

This is the first ive heard of trailer park kungfu 🤣

You should have used some weezer to sing. Your speaking voice sounds just like Rivers.

I'm not really a fan of either of those mics for live singing, as I play guitar at the same time and move around a bit. They are super cardoid, a little unforgiving if you are off axis or too abrupt for me with mic technique. I prefer the standard cardoid versions of those mics, the Shure SM58 and the Sennheiser E935. It's smoother for me to manage plosives and with mic technique. And out of these 2 I prefer the Sennheiser E935. But i have a higher range voice.
