5Lives up to hype  Apr 21, 2007 By D. Annanders "aeron99"
Every positive comment about this microphone is right on. I finally have found a mic that captures every resonance, and clarity. I have used it to record and perform live. This is an amazing tech. that delivers real results. I bought it based on reviews without trying it out first, and it was the best mic purchase I have ever made. This mic has a quality that far exceeds the initial investment.

5S-M-O-O-T-H... "Audio Velvet"  Jun 18, 2009 By Raymond Anthony "Innovation Developer"
Just look around at TV shows and see how speakers, singers, other personalities and performers use THIS microphone. The word has gotten out that if you want to sound your BEST use this baby! I do and I would NOT settle for any less now.

5Wonderful for spoken word and podcasting...  Oct 01, 2008 By Kiko Lombardi
After using countless large diaphragm condenser mics over the years, I've settled on the Beta 87a and the Beta 58a for my vocal work.

I've produced podcasts, spoken word pieces and voiceovers with both of these microphones with superb results with hardly any EQ needed. (You can listen to samples at blog.visitronix.com)

Neither one of these mics will let you down. I highly recommend them!

1Received a FAKE Mic.  Jan 17, 2012 By Z-MAN
I guess you are never safe from counterfeiters. I received a fake mic from MUSIC TOY BOX. I'm hoping they fix the situation. The microphone wasn't even a condenser. Fake packaging, mic clip, even the cable tie was fake. I thought I was safe buying through Amazon. I recommend really checking out the seller in detail before buying from them. Hopefully I will be able to get an authentic Shure Beta87 soon.

5Class-act on vocals  Dec 27, 2011 By philwinkle
I absolutely love everything about this mic. It has some heft to it, it looks nice, it feels nice to the touch; but best of all? It sounds amazing.

The pickup pattern is Supercardioid which has a little more rear-pickup than you'd think; but sound quality alone trumps this small annoyance. The think that separates the 87A from the rest of the Shure handheld pack is that it is a condenser microphone - so don't use it on terribly loud sound sources. It works best for me on vocals that nice more hi-end definition.

Overall, it earns every one of the five stars I gave it - and buying on Amazon saves you a ton of coin over the big box competitors!
