Try applying and comparing these mics as they were intended by design. Consider an Edwina for this application.

[@dickonwhitehead1502]

agree Edwina the best choice here. but depends how retro you want to look!

[@joseyang5098]

is that the echo from the background or it's just the reverb effect?

[@Mar-a-Lago_Ketchup_Cleanup]

No diff on guitar cab but improvement on vocals.

[@joseyang5098]

[@jamesjames77777]

Is it me or did the Beta 58 just win?

[@rlin2648]

The ear trumpets look great but to me the rode sounded the same.

[@cyanidejunkie]

Is it just me or did the 58 sound great and the two new ones sound dull and lifeless?

[@ndavies8]

I think it's just you

[@IScreamedWolf]

Agreed. There’s definitely a good bit of high end roll off on the other two mics

[@dickonwhitehead1502]

SM58's by design have an added boost around 4.5 kHz to make vocal sibilance punch through. Probably cos they were designed when the average PA system was a pair of WEM column speakers which did not have any tweeters! Turns out that was a great design feature even may many years later! and the beta version have broader and higher high end boost.

[@ClaytonMRay]

He shouldn’t have had them right on the grille cloth. Gotta keep these mics at least 6 inches off the source like he said but didnt do lol.

[@fernheaven]

Some good info here but really You are comparing apples with oranges … Ear Trumpet models are $7-800.00 the comparisons you have there are $199.00 and $289.00. In addition, most people would never use An ET Edwina for the same purpose as an SM58b.

[@vicesquadpunk]

To be honest, this isn’t a review as much as an advertisement mate. It certainly isn’t impartial, there was nothing critical said whatsoever....

[@midnightshroud527]

Shure must be quaking in their boots.

[@Darltornjacket]

Not since these mics run About $500 US

[@midnightshroud527]

@@Darltornjacket Just adds insult to injury at these prices doesn't it. I'm with cyanidejunkie on this one.

[@vicesquadpunk]

🤣 yeah ... quaking.... right ... 😆
