I am a frontman for a blues band. Bought this mic for it's look, heard it was good for vocals. This mic is OUTSTANDING for vocals. I love the blue felt. If you are considering buying a Super 55, don't hesitate. You won't regret buying a Super 55.

I’m not a fan of Shure. Never liked the vocal microphones sound personally. Having said that, I bought the Super 55 more as a prop because my company logo has the mic on it. I decided to play with it out of boredom and liked what came out sound wise.

I have been using my trusty old SM58 for a while, but I love the Bel-Air mics. I had an original '53 that I used for years until I was "relieved" of it. I have since been trying to find that perfect mix of vintage looks and modern reliability. Well......I found it and then some! This mic not only looks super sweet, but it has beautiful sound. Even my bandmates were blown away by the tones I was able to get out of this thing. Lyrics and phrases that had seemed muddled were suddenly crystal clear. We're considering replacing all of the bands mics with these. I would recommend it to anyone.

I perform with this mic with my Bose L1 w/Tone Match and the sound is exhilarating! The build quality is rock solid, the look is beautiful and the sound is true. People love commenting on it. The mic is very highly resistant to feedback. A real performance asset, it's raised the game on my live show quality. Definitely, go for it! Thanks to ZZOUNDS for making it a painless purchase process.

The quality is great, awesome sound, excellent service. One small suggestion you should offer the quick release for the microphone, had to purchase from another vendor. Would definately recommend.

I help set up a one of a kind karaoke show I got the SS 55 Deluxe Vocal Microphone for my DJ doing the Karaoke we were using sure 58 mikes which were great mikes but it seam he had to talk like direct down into the mike ,He went to using the SS 55 the sound was a 180 from other mikes it didn't have to open air sound around it his voice stood out like it was jumping out to you extra clear sound. He had to cut back on most of all the settings it was as if mike was inside his mouth and he was in speaker . As far as manufacturer support never had to use it on any product I have bought

I want to address two points made by several other reviewers. 1- The Super 55 Deluxe sounds just like the Shure SM-58. This is definitely NOT true. I bought the mic on the chance that it could be the case because I love my 58 and have used it exclusively for a long, long time. The 55 has a really good, full-spectrum sound, and if you have a nice EQ unit and know how to use it you could probably get it to sound similar to the SM-58, but to be clear, this is an entirely different instrument from the 58. Don't get me wrong it's a very well built unit with a fine sound, just not like the SM-58. 2- The Super 55 Deluxe is way sensitive. This point is kind of true...sort of. It took me about an hour of practice to revise my diction and mic technique, but I was able to eliminate the problem. Side-by-side comparison with the SM-58 shows this mic significantly louder on the *pop* of hard consonant sounds. You'll have to learn to soften your P's. Summary: This mic is GORGEOUS!!! I croon the jazz standards and love having a mic I can hold like a woman I'm kissing. The sound is a very good, clean, full-range, accurate reproduction of whatever you put into it. If you can learn to manage your range - with a mic that doesn't manage them for you, I'm sure you will love this beautiful instrument! I penalize one star for the *pop*.

I cut a piece of mic windscreen about two inches square and put it on the outside with two rubber bands. It cut out the s-sounds and pops completely and turned this mic into the most awesome mic ever. I have used it at several solo gigs. It sounds simply amazing from six inches away to an inch or so. I would never gig without it. Once you put a screen of some material in front of it. A pop screen is used in studios but a simple "mask" does it even if you just use cotton cloth but the mic foam is best.

It has the same capsule as the Shure Beta 58. For some reason this mic does not filter out the sh and pa sounds. Its awful. I would have returned it if I thought I could. I cut a mic windscreen down and put it over the capsule on the inside. Did not work. Took that out.Then just hung a bandana over the mic and that worked. Great! But not can not see what I paid big bucks for. Lastly I cut a square piece of mic windscreen that just fit over the front section of the mic and held it on with two rubber bands. This seems to work just fine.
