Looks great and it's a bargain.
Halley 18.06.2018
This mic has distinct look, and stands out from the box standard cones. It's quite heavy, so it won't break easily. Beside the look, it sounds great as most other mics from the t.bone family (we currently use the MB85 beta, DC1500(drum kit) with pencil mics(EM700) and MB75(which I prefer a lot more than the SM57 on snare and guitar mic). They all have been gigged a lot, and still sound as good as new.

As with any other mic, you will apply some EQ to suit your voice better, so the t.bone sound as good as a much more expensive Shure on live applications.
If you are recording, you should be using condenser, so I'm not mentioning studio application.

Con: As the only way to attach to the stand is by screwing(just like the shure) you can't get it out as you please. If you like to walk around with the mic, just know that you can't put it on the stand, or you have 2 mics (or a wireless one)

Great value for the money
Mikael I. 13.01.2014
I bought two of these, one for me and one for my bands bassist. We play rockabilly (and some punk rock) and the design is spot on for that style. Our singer use a similar (nearly identical) microphone of a different brand but I'd say it is nearly impossible to tell that apart from this based only on the sound. Neither me or my bassist have had any quality problems and we have played probably about 30-50 gigs with these microphones, packing and unpacking between gigs. My recommendation is that unless you really want to buy a more pricey microphone, for whatever reason, this is a great choice.

Not just for fun!
Anonymous 24.10.2014
I bought this for a school musical. You guest it right, somebody was playing the part of Elvis. You can't do Elvis without the Elvis-microphone. This was cheap and it looked the part. Everybody was wearing headsets anyway so the sound of this cheap gimmick didn't matter. But it sounds really good! Now it's used on a regular basis in the school music room. I like it a lot. Only complaint is that the on/off switch seems a little flimsy, but it have not fail me yet and might never do so. Comes in a nice little plastic case plenty strong for normal abuse!

Excellent!!!
Bisley 04.01.2015
I have no words to described how surprised i was when i received this microphone from Thomann brand. I confess that i underestimated it! I was very surprised with the quality and the design! I love the style and it is heavy. Built like a tank! But more than that: the quality of the sound is amazing! I just could not believe how cheap it was for the price! And comparing to the other brands this is equal in quality but the good part of it is that the price is better than half price! Another feature that I would like to highlight is that this microphone comes with a very good hard case. Once again I am very surprised and satisfied with Thomann Brand products!

Great-looking microphone
Ädi 05.09.2020
This microphone is a copy of the classic Shure Elvis-style microphone. It is surprisingly sturdy and well-made, and the on-off switch is very useful. It sounds good and works well, especially in live situations. I'm not sure I'd ever record a studio album with it, but it's fun to have around, and you can't beat the price.

The plastic case is also very useful for transporting.

Value for money, unexpected quality!
Yannisp1789 13.03.2019
I initially bought this for a few videos that it would look cool for!
But of course I had to put it through the sound test as well.

Made a vocal recording and I was positively surprised!

Almost zero plosives -compared to most dynamic mics who have a lot of "wind" and "p" sounds in a recording situation- , and a full frequency response that can totally be handled in the mix.
I am looking forward to trying this in a live situation.

I most certainly recommend it.

Sounds great
GaJe 26.12.2018
I can't compare it to the original, but for me the sound is very good. I used it live as well as for recording vocals and in both situations the microphone excelled. Nice sound, no noise and no unwanted feedback when used live.

Retro chic, on a budget
drmarkreuter 20.12.2014
So, basically, I just like the retro design. Shure also do a retro mic, but this is about the quarter of the price. To my surprise, it's an excellent vocal mic! It's been used for backing vocals in a live situation, no complaints. Very sturdy, excellent plastic carry case. This will be my 'go to' backing vocals mic from now on (replaces my Sontronic, which is lovely, but I just like the retro design). Are all t bone products this good?
