I agree! The SM58’s design gives a better hold, which is vital during energetic performances. The E835 isn’t bad, but it doesn’t have that same ‘stickiness’.
Totally! Plus, the SM58 is basically a legend for live vocals. Does its reputation add to its durability in your experience?
I’ve actually seen both mics perform excellently! But I must say, I’ve laughed a few times when folks drop the SM58 and it’s still just fine. It’s like the cockroach of microphones!
Haha! That’s true! But the E835 does have a smoother sound that might outshine the SM58 under perfect conditions. It’s all about your preference!
I’ve used both mics for live vocals. The SM58 has a classic sound that’s great for rock vocals, while the E835 has a clearer, more detailed sound that’s excellent for softer genres. It really depends on your style!
I’ve found that the E835 handles high frequencies much better. If you’re singing pop or jazz, it might be the better option.
What about live gigs outdoors? I heard the SM58 performs better in those conditions due to its durable build. Is that true?
Absolutely! The SM58 is known for its ruggedness. I’ve taken it to countless outdoor gigs without any issues.
I prefer the E835 for studio recordings. It cuts through the mix nicely and captures vocals with a bit more clarity compared to the SM58.
That’s interesting! I’ve only used the SM58 for studio work. The sound is thicker but does muddy the mix a bit for certain vocals.
I think it’s worth noting the price difference too. The SM58 is often cheaper, which can be a factor for beginners looking for decent quality but on a budget.
If you’re considering both and doing covers, you might want to try each in a live setting first. Each mic can bring out different nuances in your voice!

Totally agree! I’ve actually done comparison tests myself and found the SM58 to be more forgiving for live-use mistakes.

I keep hearing that both are good mics, but can one mic really be ‘better’? It seems to me that it ultimately depends on personal preference.

Exactly! Different genres, different setups—it’s all subjective. Unless you’re a robot that only chooses specs!
