"Great Quality and Fun Karaoke Microphone."
"Charges fairly quick and works great! Worked on my Android phone and PC easily and was great to play with."
"The sound is good for the size of the product."
"It's the most different microphone I've purchased by far and it's one that already gets a lot of use throughout the house, and will get even more use this coming weekend."
"Whenever she connected it to bluetooth, there was this buzzing sound, which was loud enough to be audible over the music and very loud without music. She loved the microphone so much, that she was ready to compromise even with it, but it was too much for the rest of us to handle 3/4 hours a day."
"Just got this microphone in, and I already love it!"
"I purchased this for my wife against the suggestion of our children and she loves it."
"Overall if your looking for a Karaoke mic then this is a good option."

GLS Audio Instrument Microphone ES-57 & Mic Clip - Professional Series ES57 Dynamic Cardioid Mike Unidirectional - For Instruments, Drums, Percussion, Vocals, and more
The ES-57 Professional Microphones were designed to sound just like the standard in the industry, the Shure SM57. Frequency Response: 50 Hz - 15,000 Hz.
Reviews
"When you see ES57, I'm referring to the GLS mic, and when you see SM57, I'm referring to the Shure mic. Both the ES57 and SM57 are known as dynamic mics, while the other most common pro type mics are known as condensers (which need a power source to work properly). If you need to mic really low or really high frequencies (less than 80 Hz and greater than 15 kHz), then you'll want to get a different mic that can do that well. However, the ES57 mic has become my go to instrument mic when recording live bands and events. That doesn't mean it's not a good mic. To me, the ES57 sounds more like a Shure SM58 vocal mic (thought it's not exactly like it either), but again, that's neither good or bad, just different. These type of mics can handle high sound pressure levels (SPL), which is why they are called instrument mics, and are used a lot in micing amp speakers, drum heads, horns, and other very loud sound sources. It generally won't because most computer mic jacks don't have an adequate preamp (mic gain function). The problem isn't the mic, it's the computer mic input circuit, yet often, the mic gets the blame and not the mic input on the computer. Three things to know if you are contemplating connecting with an adapter, either an ES57 or SM57, to an ordinary computer mic input jack: First, these and all professional mics need a preamplifier to make them sound good, and computer mic inputs jacks do not generally have a satisfactory preamp for boosting the mic gain to the needed level. Second, professional mics use a balanced wiring scheme whereas most computer mic jack inputs use an unbalanced wiring scheme. Third, professional mics rarely come with a cable (though some sellers bundle a mic cable with them to sell as a "kit"), so you'll usually need to buy one. Being a balanced mic means that it is designed to eliminate or greatly reduce electrical noise and interference on the mic input circuit. Professional mics generally have a 3-prong male connector at its base called an XLR, to which the female end of an XLR mic cable will connect (you can go to Wikipedia and search for XLR connector to learn what it means). The other end of the mic cable can have any type of balanced connector needed for the type of preamp or mixing board that you're using. The most common mic cable has a female XLR connector on one end (to plug into the mic) and male XLR connector on the other end to plug into your preamp, recording interface or mixing board. There are other types of connectors on balanced mic cables (such as 1/4" TRS), but the XLR male/female cable is the most common. With some singers, such as a female mezzo or soprano, any mic may sound annoying depending on the vocal tonality, especially a mic that has a boost on the high end. My recommendation: 1) If you need a mic for your computer, then buy a mic designed to be used with a computer, not an ES57 or SM57. A genuine computer mic will have either a USB connector or 3.5mm (1/8") unbalanced mic jack, and be designed to work well with it! You'll find that good sounding computer mic won't be as inexpensive as the ES57 because the manufacturer has to design it to work with the computer USB port or computer mic jack. Regarding microphone cables, since you must have one if you already don't, and probably don't want to spend more on your mic cable than what you pay for an ES57, I recommend that you buy the GLS 25 foot XLR male/female mic cable. XLR mic cables work well at long lengths. I generally build my own mic cables using connectors and bulk cable that I have come to know and trust over the years. Durability is another issue, but for home and small studio recording and the weekend warrior DJs, most any mic stand will work, as will a well made, non-name brand mic cable. My recommendation of the GLS XLR mic cable is based on my experience. Not wanting it to cost me too much in damaged cables, which is usually unavoidable, I ordered several of the GLS 25 foot and 50 foot XLR mic cables to see how they would hold up, since the price made them disposable if needed. I highly recommended them if you're on a tight budget, just getting started in pro recording, need a mic cable that you may not recover, and especially if you need a bunch of cables with a small budget."
"i can tell its is a bit different then the shure but you can easily get around it if you know what to do ..... mic placement is everything."
"I couldn't afford the "real" microphone that this is patterned after. I took it in to our local music store to use while they helped me select an amp for my folk harp."
"It is powerful and its emphasis on the higher pitches suits my voice perfectly."
"I bought this to replace my Blue Snowball because I've reached that point where I require something that sounds a little bit more professional than what I was using. Before I begin my review, I'd like to mention that I use this with a Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer with XENYX Preamp (copy and paste that into Amazon's search to find it). My voice sounds great with this thing. Before I was using a Snowball and my podcast partner told me it sounded like I was in a "chamber". I'm extremely satisfied with how well this thing makes me sound. It is WORLDS better than USB mics like the Blue Snowball. **Update 10-11-2015**. Just wanted to drop back in and say that this mic still works great. It's still my go-to mic for everything (podcast and YouTube videos) and still sounds as crisp and clean as the day I bought it."

"for the price you cant go wrong - a few things though to mention...the overhead mics need phantom power so your board or mixer needs phantom power....Pyle's customer support very helpful and quick to respond about the issue and when I re-read the specs sure enough it stated phantom power required....the mics clips have a threaded insert to be able to attach the mics to the mic clips for toms doesn't seems to screw in perfectly or tight...I took some plumbers tape and wrapped it around the treads which is holding tight but may even put a lil super glue to it as well...I have a mackie mixer with 4 xlr channels and was able to use dual xlr adapters for 2 toms and the 2 overheads to use only 2 channels......again for the price and size of venues I play the mics are perfect and customer support from Pyle was spot on!"
"Low end mics that produce low end results."
"But if you're attaching the condenser mic's to regular boom stands, you'll need to unscrew the adapters from the mic holders, revealing the 5/8" screw-in that you need. Basically, you use the included 3/8" threaded bolts to attach the mic's to the clamps by screwing the bolt through the slot in the clamp, then screwing the mic onto the bolt."
"They fit 3/8 or 5/8 stands. But so far so good."
"The kick mic died on me after the 1st song. Mounts are pretty good. In a nutshell, great start kit."
"Stretch the plastic clips with your fingers a little bit to make them easier to snap on to the rim of the drum."

"I use it for podcasting, video recording, gaming (with speakers on) and anything else that might require a mic."
"Anyone who knows anything about recording has this microphone."
"A classic dynamic microphone...I do like my KSM141s better--a more nuanced and subtle sound, wider frequency range, less "in your face" and just sweeter to listen to."
"I'd guess that in 75% of all contemporary recordings there's a 57 pointed at the snare drum head, because they handle peak transients so well."
"This mic is great value, and is better that some more expensive ones."
"Turned out to be a shielding problem with the mic."
"I just needed to make a choice which would be used for what in my studio since I didn't wanna be unhooking and moving things around."
"great sounding mic!!"
