 I love this mic Mar 27, 2007
By Rick Van Hazel
I have this corded version and have also used the beta 58a cordless and countless other mics for vocals. I sing in the higher ranged octaves and I prefer this mic over any others because of its excellent response and sensitivity throughout its range, it also has no problems picking up lower frequencies.
It also has an extremely narrow arc of sound pickup. Which for a microphone is a very good quality because you wont get feedback very often regardless of the ambient noise around you. I was testing a few things at home on my equiment and was recording some vocal tracks while singing along to some background music. The recording picked up so little of the background music that once you combine it with the other tracks, its next to impossible to tell it was even recorded with anything else even on!
This mic by far is the best one to use if you sing in any falsetto voice, its very sensitive and reproduces vocals of this type better than anything i've ever picked up. I know it also does well in some of the lower ranged octaves from hearing other people sing on it, but I think if that is your primary range you can go with the cheaper Beta 58 instead of the 58a. They are similar but the 58a seems to be a little more friendly to upper ranged vocals than the 58.
Once you've used this mic, you will notice the difference in every other mic you ever use after. This one is just plain superior.

Shure Beta 58A used-as good as new Jun 26, 2008
By N. C. E. Klomp
"Nico"
I had my eye on a beta 58a for some time. Being a frequent shure sm58 user I wondered what advantages a beta would have compared to the sm. A friend of mine was kind enough to lend me one, so I tried it out during a gig. The difference was amazing: my voice sounded much clearer, more powerful and the beta had much higher output than de sm. The price was what kept me from buying the beta right away. Now I got one "used but as good as new" through amazon sold by music and film. The beta was indeed as good as new, or should I just say "new", works great and the shipment was fast.

It's a Shure 58... of course it's great Apr 10, 2007
By J. Fraser
The SM58 is pretty much the #1 choice by most people for a stage handheld. The Beta 58 is basically the same, but better. Better quality sound and better gain before feedback. It's a great mic and that's all there is to it!
The only thing that Shure could improve would be to have a better quality bag with more padding, this would just protect the mic a little more when lugging it around.

 Bright, detailed, and with low-feedback tendencies--A standby Aug 22, 2009
By D. Lockman
The Shure Beta 58A is a road-ready, industry standard for live performance mics.
Known for it's bright BRIGHT, clarion sound, it is an easier mic to work with,
from a live sound engineer's perspective, than the popular,
but more problematic (feedback-wise) Shure SM58.
Being SUPERcardiod, the Beta58A has a tighter/closer pickup-pattern,
and so is less prone to feedback---You just sing closer
to a supercardiod mic than a cardioid--Sometimes, almost, or maybe even lightly, touching the mic.
Any engineer will tell you that the extra-brightness of the Beta 58A mic gives you
better sound to work with at the board---It is simple to "darken" a too-bright sound with
a little EQ. But a "too-dark" sound is definitely harder to brighten with EQ
or any engineering manipulation.
For recording, the Beta 58A is OK, mainly for beginners, as a vocal mic.
For advanced/pro recording use, it is good mainly on electric guitar cabs
and some percussion.
And, it is a durable mic, for sure.

Fantastic Microphone! Dec 12, 2008
By Rafael Gratarolli
Well, this is a product that dispens comments. One of the most popular mics in the world. It's used by James Blunt, McFly, Coldplay and all the great names in the world. The captation is perfect, and the high-notes, falsetes sounds great in that mic. This is definitely a 100% professional microphone, wich can be used in live shows. Very trusty, very robust. Totally recomended!!!
