Thought it was just going to be a sound comparison. Great breakdown of all the other fake features!
I like to imagine that when you got the counterfeit it already had the fake stickers all over it
Truth in advertising!
Honest fakes are honest
Haha that ending
EposVox hello to the man that taught me to use OBS
:)
EposVox That looks like a Røde NT1 he’s using, right?
Yes
you'd be hard-pressed to tell
oranebeast i can tell ever so slightly
Naw, as soon as you picked it up, there would be no question. Half the weight? Obvious after one would plug it in. The fake IS a pos.
Until you plug it in and it does'nt work!
There is just something about seeing the microphone you use in the video you're watching. It's like the day after Christmas. Not quite as exciting, but you still feel happy.
Right? Haha. Seeing the NT1 in the booth I was like, "Yeaaah!"
The Heartfelt Kid thats why i got a yeti.. Get that feeling alot..lol
That mic droop... had a good laugh :D
"Go grab an authentic microphone and record something amazing." I had to say it so it is an authentic Booth Junkie video.
Really appreciate you going into all of those details! I have 4 sm58’s and after I was halfway through watching I frantically checked my mic’s to make sure they were the real deal.
I actually found a real sm58 for 35$ but it looked like it went trough a war zone
Lol🎤
The SM58 is a tank, it probably still worked.
@@yoboisteven1741 Yep these things can go to hell and back. Mine has clearly taken at least three hard falls. Basket has two dents. Handle/casing has a shallow dent from a metal-on-metal impact, looks like it hit an aluminum stair corner. Still works perfectly. I got it for $20!
It's probably older than you, it's seen some shit, salute to your microphone everyday before you use it, don't want it to go crazy and have any nam flashbacks.
@@sreeser3512The Sm58 is Fine But The Aluminium Stair Passed Away when the Sm58 hit that Stair.
I LOVED the closing shot!!! I hope that everybody watches to the end. Thanks for the advice.
What a great wrap! I love it!! Thanks, Mike.
This is the best review and comparison I've ever seen. Thank you for doing this. Been subscribed for a while, but for some reason this was the only video on my feed. And that ending is the best.
Excellent detailed comparison! Well done Mike
Wow! Very eye and ear opening Mike. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for doing this video...
When i bought the sm58, i made sure to followed the Amazon link on your description
What a great comparation (as always). Fantastic ending!!! Regards from Spain.
Thanks for this.. was looking at one being offered cheaply. I am glad i found this clip.
"hard pressed" only happened 5 times. That is five more times than I have regretted watching a video of yours. Thanks for the awesome content :)
good job booth junkie the old saying if it sounds to good to be true then it probally is nailed it
That last garbage shot looks a lot like my old neighborhood in Portland Oregon. Cheers!
I just ordered a used one
on EBay! This is a good informing video! Thanks for doing this!
Thank you for your service to us all.
Thanks for the video!~ I was about to buy another SM58 and now I know to look closely.
Great video Mike!
This does make one appreciate the engineering and build quality of the Shure beast. They are tanks, so friggin’ reliable, that we tend to take it for granted that they will work, even after you drop it, or the mic stand falls over.
This is an excellent, thorough breakdown. I was glad to confirm mine is real. I love my SM-58.
I bought a "second hand" SM58 on Ebay, it was £50, I though that seemed a reasonable price for a 2nd hand SM58. No, it was a fake. From a Chinese seller too.
Fantastic review. Informative and necessary for new audio geeks
Great video! Awesome informational breakdown.
Thank you! I saw this before buying.
thank you for doing this video, man.
I'm Shure glad you told us about these fakes great video Mike
ha. haha... ha............................. ha.
@A D r/wooooosh
Loved the Ending :) and thank you for telling us the reasons why we should not buy from un-autherized dealers.
Very well shown. Thank you very much for
Love your videos booth Junkie...
Really great for you to break it down for people who have never use a real SM58! The real one does feel like a small brick in your hand!
Nice house. I love your driveway!!!
Thanks for this video, Mike.
Excellent vedio.... Awesome job boss.... Your analysis power is great.... U r a real man.... An honest man...
Hey Man..Thank you so much for this. This was really helpful.
January 2021! I just came across this video and had to properly examine my 2 Shure mics. Thank GOD they are not fake☺️ Thank you for this amazing revelation.
glad i watched this before buying the sm58. thanks a lot bro
Thanks Mike! I am about to meet someone to buy a used SM58 off Craigslist and now I'll be able to easily verify it's the real deal.
gotta love that ending
i found a really old behringer dynamic mic i had from many years ago. plugged it in and it sounds like your counterfeit mic. The lesson is to just buy right and buy once.
So helpful, well done and thanks
Bought a counterfeit SM58 once in Russia. It was heavy enough, very-well built, but had a round hole at the bottom and a sticker. The sound quality was cheap but it was working. The little store I was buying it from vanished when I went back to return it:) Sent it to Shure in Germany, they told me it's a fake one and kept it:) The end.
I think the best thing you can do with that thing is to mod it into a nice microphone.
Maybe even one of those "old-school radio talker" mics you have a tutorial for?
Thank you sir. So helpful, really
I've seen a few similar videos, this was the clearest. Another thing that is hard to illustrate is just how durable these mics are. I recently put back into service an SM-57 that I bought 40 years ago and had been sitting in a file cabinet. It's still an awesome sounding mic. Oddly enough I think I paid more for it in 1977 than they cost now.
Yeah, I paid almost $400 Australian for an SM58 in 1987! US made though, the others were cheaper.
Thanks for sharing, very informative.
Gracias por hacer un comparativo completo. Los demás sólo te muestran el falso o el Real pero no los dos juntos. Genio!!
This is really going to help people trying to make good counterfeits lol.
Wow I believe I bought a fake one from long and mcquade in Edmonton years back because it sounded identical to how yours sounds and looked like that to! I'm happy I returned it , today I think I am going to go grab another but making sure it's real this time, thanks man!
Nice channel and very educational.
thanks a lot for the video,sir
Hooray! A New Video =D
I recently invested in some new hardware to replace my failing Blue Yeti that was disappointing since day one
New setup is now an AT2035 paired with a Yamaha MG10UX
Got some new floor mats mounted to the wall, still figuring out my acoustics situation :)
Thanks for the awesome videos :)
Life Kommando it's great for rap
Thankyou sir!!!
LOVE your video posts! Love the entrance! Can you keep them
It takes as long as it takes, I thought it was a good edit and length
Great review! 🙌🏾
Awesome good job
This was great!
lol at the end Mike walks the crap mic away in the recycling bin but the mics specifically state not to dispose of them that way :P
Great video none-the-less Mike!
The fake mic didn't have that symbol.
@@leodf1
😲😲😲
"Hard pressed" words of the day
Thank you for this video. The same kind of thing unfortunately is going on with headphones and I have been on the receiving end of fake AudioTechnicas and Sennheisers. The copies can be very good and extremely difficult to tell apart from the real thing. So a big thank you for pointing out the differences with the Shure SM 58.
By the way, you are beginning to cost me money now. I’ve just bought a Fethead!!!
Thank you!!!!!
Nice driveway!
Thanks bro... Good video...
I bought one from Wish as well. I still have it as a beater mic... or if I need something to make my room sound like it is wrapped in foil.
Could you please make a video on the studio projects c1?
Shit! Dropped my headphones! Like that you are real. I just subscribed bc you didn't edit that out bc you are just like the rest of us. Thank you for that.
I don’t think it’s counterfeit, I think it’s made with that new space age polymer, and filled with helium.
Great video. Thank you on behalf of EVERYONE.
that manual and box is just like my 2002 sm58
the intro was mint, the mic is like NOPE i am out, exits stage left xD
Thak's allot!
thanku sir .i also checked my sm 58 its genuine .thanks.
i really like the ending, it's like from a hollywood romcom movie 😂
What a lucky dude you are, that the counterfeit does NOT say "DO NOT PUT IN THE TRASH!" :D
The counterfeit looks exactly like the PDmic58 from Pyle. It's likely the same one. Those sold on Amazon for 15$.... and were OK for general use... like talking into a PA for a meeting or something.
That intro was amazing hahaha :D
Thanks
Hi !!! thank you for the videos ! please make a review of the Isovox 2 Portable Vocal Booth ...
I dont want to buy something that is not useful to me.
When will you upload again .. make more tips like recording in the car ... that was one of the best tips .. we need more creative tips like that .. thank you very much
Was laughing out loud before the title. Classic moment.
thanks a lot :)
Nice video 👍👍
i am now proud of my sm58
Great video! I wish I could get this in front of everyone who might not think about the possibility of counterfeits. It's amazing how many people give this thing (or ones like it) great reviews on Wish. Heck, even the pictures they show on the product page demonstrate it's a fake, and in at least one case, the product name given was NOT a Shure, only the pictures said Shure. LOL!
I would like to know what lav mic and wireless set up he was using at the end. It had very good sound.
Hi, thanks for your video, it's Informative and entertaining. A couple of things, I don't think weight is necessarily an indicator of quality. Most of the weight will be the barrel not the working parts, you could make the fake one with a heavier metal or the real one could have a tough and expensive titanium or carbon fibre barrel and then be way lighter than the fake.
That metal perforated ring under the mesh seemed to be close to touching the capsule contacts on the fake, maybe that's why you had problems with intermittent sound?
Thanks again.
But they're not going to make light and heavy so
The video makes a perfect point. Remember he's discussing fake vs real
Not light and heavy different brands of 🎤 so Now we know if we got a fake shure sm-58 or real !
THAT'S WHAT THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT.
I bought it 2 days ago and I just received it today. Why didn't I see this video earlier?
Excellent review to educate novice! I'd be "hard pressed" to say how many times you say "hard pressed" ... just sayin' ;) All your videos are so very well done and thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! All the best Mike!
I just bought the original shure sm58 few days ago and last night my friends and I go to jamming and their mic is using a FAKE sm58 but I spot the difference especially in weight and height 😅
Will you do a review of the Pyle PDMIC 58?
Interesting.
I have a Beta 58A which seems legit but the connecting pins are finished in gold.
Until you post an E100s vs. NT1 comparison [ :) ], if I watch your separate videos to compare them, will I be hearing the same audio -chain?
Your intros are hilarious
WOW!!! Thats awful, you know I was on Amazon looking at these and noticed some same issues, the box and most import the basket one looked like the real , one looked like the fake, Where should we buy from, the dealer ? pretty damn sad this happens ....well at least Amazon Prime your are fully covered...GREAT VIDEO! THANK YOU
I recently bought 2 58s used from a guy locally who was offing a bunch of karaoke gear for 50 bucks. I'm about 90% sure they're both real Shures but they're slightly different between the two of them. No huge disparities like in this video. They both sound the same, both weight the same, and the capsules are the same. The grilles are slightly different though. One is more matte and the other is shiny. And the one which is shiny is also just has a darker color to it. It seems a lot older than the other. I know that 58s haven't changed like...at all since they were made, right? Are slight aesthetic differences like that something to be concerened about? And I do mean SLIGHT.
I love how they both sound, I've always preferred my voice through 58s, even compared to other more expensive mics. They're both the sturdy bulletproof Shure quality we all know and love. I've used my fair share of 58s on stages. But I guess I never really delved into them too deep because well...they're so common. A 58 always seemed like a 58 to me.
But this video has me curious about mine.
And even if one or even both of mine WERE fake, they're pretty dang excellent and I definitely will continue using them. If a company figured out how to counterfeit a mic as good as this, I wanna know what company it is because they would give Shure a run for their money.
Anyway, yeah. TLDR; my two 58s have the slightest color and grille differences but otherwise are identical and I dont know what that's about.
Thanks for the video. One suggestion: At 14:16 could you place a tape measure next to the two bags for scale? You compare a real bag to a fake bag but what if we don't have a real bag to compare to? A tape measure would be helpful to explain measurements. Thanks.
