Seven years ago, I used a wireless Shure Beta58a wireless unit, and recall that it always worked well for my voice, and up close mic work. (I'm a mic eater)
Over the last six or seven years I've tried many, many vocal mics trying to find "the one." I really like the sound of some for my voice: Blue Encore 100 Blue Encore 200 Blue Encore 300 Sennheiser e935 Sennheiser e945 EV Cobalt Co9 EV ND767a Heil PR20 AKG Perception Wireless 45 And a few that don't work so well with my voice: AKG D5 DLX Audix OM2 Sennheiser e835 Shure SM58 Anyway, a local music store in my area just had their annual "cost" sale and I scored a Shure Beta58a for $133 brand new. After a 2 hour session with it, I think that for my voice, while playing guitar, this mic is "the one."

The Beta 58A has been my working microphone for many years now... works great for me, too!

There is a reason the B58 is so popular - it does what you need it to!
It isn’t my favourite mic I’ll be honest but there are times when I’ll reach for the B58s if it is a situation that warrants them. Personally I like the Sennheiser e945 more (if we are going to compare super-cardioid dynamics), I find it gives a warmer, more even representation of most voices, but it’s all relative.
