as a musician and amateur producer, I use a shure sm58 which is $99 and my vocal mixes sound just as good if not better than some of my friends who use sm7b. It really comes down to your knowledge on how to use a microphone than the microphone itself. great vid dude!
Although there is lots of hype, it also sells because of it's noise rejection abilities. However I will say I have a condenser Sterling Audio ST51 which has way better rejection off axis than the 7B, so there are others, BUT, none of them look as good as the 7B on camera.
@@fredoverflow what broadcast mic would you say looks better? I have the earthworks icon pro which looks nice too.. Maybe the AEA KU5A... But that's basically a rip of the SM7B design aesthetic. More refined.

Thanks. I sold my SM58 and regret it. It would have been in this video for sure.

Thanks. I think
During its first 35 years (!!!), the SM7 did not sell well. It only sells well today because of hype.
Right!!

I honestly don't see the appeal? The SM7b looks like those veggie choppers from midnight commercials. (And I say that as an SM7b owner!)

@@fredoverflow When I see a product that EVERYONE is using I get skeptical. Trend precedes quality? Maybe.
