Worth Every Penny
After much research and with my financial status, I finally decided to buy a pair of the famous SM 57's. I am a drummer in a band and had previously tried regular vocal mics and was not to happy about the sound when recording.
The day I received the SM 57's was one day before our first gig at a local venue. Having them actually made me feel more confident that the sound would be superb. At soundcheck, the whole band realized the difference these microphones made to the drum sound. We were very glad, especially with comments after the gig such as, "the drums sounded very professional."
I highly recommend these to anybody because not only are they great for live gigs, but also when recording. We just finished recording our demo and can't believe how well the drums sound.

Shure SM57 Instrument/Vocal Mic
After building my friends studio it was time to record some guitars. My biggest problem with recording guitars was getting the amp sound recorded truly with no weird colaration from the mic.The SM-57 made my sound record as I hear it, not like some alien sound from another planet.I'm very suprised that a hundred dollar mic would be so good, and by the way I think this thing could withstand a nuclear blast.Vocally this mic does an excellent job I have no gripes, my hats off to the good folks at Shure!!!

The best mic EVER
Wow.
I picked one of these up from a friend. I am completely blown away by the quality of the sound!! A pair of these is perfect for recording my grand piano. It makes a great vocal mic too, and also an amp mic!
This mic is truly the ruler of ALL other mics. You could pay 1000s of dollars for some other expensive mic, but you will wish you bought an SM57.
I reccomend this mic to ANYONE looking to record an amp, a piano, an acoustic guitar, vocals, ANYTHING. Its the best multi-purpose mic I have ever seen.

Classic Mic. Used by everyone at somepoint
This mic is a classic and doesnt need much explanaion why. The only thing i recommned is to use the Shure pop filter with it. Shure makes a special clip on filter for this mic and works way better for cleaning up the Pop sounds. Good weight, solid construction.

Workhorse mic
I've had my Shure SM57 for almost 20 years now--it was the first mic I ever bought. In the meantime, it's been my primary live vocal mic and mic'ed up just about every instrument in my studio at one time or another. It's still teh classic mic to use on guitar amp and snares, and the first one I grab for eaach of those. Even when compared to mics many times the cost, the Shure SM57 consistently outperforms them, which I just find amazing for a mic under $100 bucks. In addition, these mics are indestructible. Mine has been battered, dropped, rained up, and generally abused over many years, and still functions perfectly every time. If you're on a budget, the SM57 is the only mic you need to get started, and if you're a professional, well you already know and probably own a bunch of these. You can't do without at least one!
