This was an awesome and informative video. The clones are getting so damn close in their fuckery that it is so wonderful to get a solid baseline for authentication. Thank you!
What great coverage and a thorough review. Looks like it's worth going to a retail store and paying a little more. Alternatively using this info to shop used. Thanx
One thing I noticed is that the shure logo on the fake is sticker. On the real one, the writing is printed on. I know it looks like a sticker too, but it won’t peel off.
My SM57 is original and made in Mexico, with features exactly the same as your original SM57. the same box as your fake one but with different paperwork.
Hello thank you it was a great help I bought a new one my seems legit just all the features you It just doesn't have a CE mark on the bottom and there was no sticker but looks brand new should I worry thank you again
The best way to tell is if the grill spins freely as noted in the vid. There have been many iterations of this microphone so the labelling may change however that grill is so far the best indicator. Best of luck!!
CE is european union thing, maybe Shure don't put that mark on products destinated outside of EU(or to be more precise outside of European Economic Area, EEA).

Good stuff, now I want to go and check all of my SM57s!

keep making videos like this man. you're good.
Thanks for watching! Does your box have the gaps in the web address after/before the dots? Like ‘www. shure. com’?
@@wadepool.productions no gaps

@@MrBarnejstinson thank you man
On the real box there should be a trademark by the SHURE name. So look for that before you buy it.
There is a registered trademark “circle r” by the logo and a TM after the “Legendary Performance”. They’re tricky.
I knew mic 3 was the sm57 unfortunately
Unfortunately because you’re not a fan of the mic? Or did you prefer one/none of the others?
Its so sad that such scumbags exist
