Fantastic modern sound from a retro look mic
thenewvintageband.com 15.05.2013
I am the lead singer of a 'vintage' inspired 1940's and 50's band, so having an old fashioned looking microphone is very important for me. I have always had problems with other mic's that looked great but sounded awful and gave constant feedback issues! However...the Shure super 55 deluxe is incredible on every level, it looks amazing on stage, it is built extremely well, very rugged, and the sound is brilliant. No feedback issues even when used surrounded by a 10 piece band! Feels like your singing into a modern shure SM58 but with the classic, cool look. I would seriously recommend this microphone!!

Great niche mic
John mercy 18.01.2024
Great sound. tested it against the normal 55 and it's way better. the 55 sounds muffled. It's much like the difference between the 58 and the beta 58 though I think in this case it's a bigger difference because of the size of the casing. the 55 has some issues that have to be fixed right off the bat. This one also has to be carved in some frequencies, but it's a much better mic.

Great Stage Mic But Some Practical Problems
David3164 18.12.2014
Okay, so there are certainly better sounding, more transparent, mics for use on stage, but few that have the same visual impact and charm as the Shure 55. My daughter sings and the retro looks of this mic are all part and parcel of the show.

The lack of the switch as on the SH55 Series 2 is a shame, but the slightly superior sound of the Super 55 Deluxe is the trade off.

My only issue is that the mic cable XLR socket at the base of the mic is both too close to the mic support point and does not lock well, leaving the insertion of cables a tricky exercise and sometimes a slightly uncertain proposition.

I love this Microphone
Seantech11 27.09.2018
Brilliant Sound Quality. I have been using a Shure SM58 for a long time and this Microphone "Shure Super 55 Deluxe" is far superior in sound quality. You do have to get close to it for the sound to pickup but I suppose that is the design.

I have one problem with Shure Microphones. I recently bought an SM58 as well and I notice that the Microphone Boxes are not sealed. The box for the Shure Super 55 Deluxe was not sealed either. I wrote to Shure but they didn't give me any satisfaction. Anyone in transit or in a shop or warehouse could take the Mic out and use it and put it back again and the person buying the microphone would never know. Why doesn't Shure seal their microphone boxes?

The right choice for many reasons!
Hawkbru 18.08.2023
I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to microphones... We decided to buy the Shure Super 55 Deluxe for our vocalist's birthday. We did the research and chose it over couple other microphones of the "same" class and we don't regret it! Ever since he got it, it's his favorite microphone both for live shows and rehearsals. The quality is just phenomenal. Not to mention that every sound engineer responsible for our sound live was so happy to see it and work with it. The only issue I would mention is the lack of on/off bidirectional switch, which actually ain't a big of a problem. I would say - for the money to quality ratio, this is the right choice!

Impressed!!
Phill G 28.05.2013
I cant believe the quality of the sound that this mic produces. I'll be honest i bought this mic for its looks (its stunning by the way) but i was blown away by its performance I've always been an SM58 user and I'm sad to say I've i put it to rest for my 55. If your reading this your obviously thinking about it.... Do it you'll love it :-) There are a few bad reviews around but if you read them properly it sounds like people that A) don't have a clue what they are talking about and B) don't know how to use a PA properly... Body is good and solid too....
Hope this helps

I was not overwhelmed
Labman 29.07.2020
It's an ok mic but do try one somewhere first to make sure it is the sound you're looking for. I bought & my friend did at the same time, both threads that connect the mic to the stand failed. The threads are made of very soft material & wear out quickly. I had to have a mod done where a threaded sleeve was fitted.

Shure Retro Deluxe Review
Adrian136 14.05.2013
I recently upgraded to the Super 55 Deluxe from the 55 mk 2, all I can say is, What a difference. I am a soloist performing jazz and swing numbers and find that unlike the original 55, you don't have to get so close to achieve optimum delivery. This also improves the aesthetics of the performance.

Classic 50s elvis mic.
Steve48 16.02.2023
Big improvement on my old 55 regular. A definite upgrade in sound, but still not as good as a Shure SM58, but worth it for the look.
