Best Choice For Studio or Performing Musician
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
Some of the reviews had me a bit nervous about ordering this -- somebody didn't like the sound. But, really, I couldn't be happier with it. Its a phantom power microphone, but that is fine with me because I run it to my Peavey Mixer which has a Phantom Power Button (at first I thought I blew it up because when I first hit the phantom power button, the mic came on loud and then dead silence. Well, I just didn't push the Peavey button down far enough and it came right back up). Anyway, mics that run off of phantom power seem to have a great deal more gain than those that don't. So this SM35 has a lot of gain to play with. And the response was crystal clear. I don't know what that other reviewer was thinking of, unless he just had a muddy setup that he was running into. another thing I like about this SM35 is that you can wear it in several ways. I tried with the loop around my neck and that seems to work. But I now wear it on my head, along with my headphones... yes, it may be crowded up there on top of my head, but I have no problem wearing both. I use the SM35 in my Music Practice, which can go on for hours, and so, yes, the little adjustable pressure pad on the end of the head loop can begin to dig in and get uncomfortable, but then I found that I can cope simply by moving the placement of the SM35 off to the side or a bit up or down, and then one can compensate by repositioning the adjustable boom going to the microphone element (my usual First Position is to place the adjustable pad just above the top of my left ear and to position the right side of the Head Loop to the top of my cheek bone just in front of my right ear. When, after about an hour, I feel the adjustable pad on the left 'digging in' and causing some discomfort, then I lift it up in position by less than an inch while pulling the right side of the Boom just under my cheek bone -- very comfy! And that usually lasts me until I'm so popped that I drop). Oh, the little cord that comes off the head boom section from its side was tweaking my ear, and so I used a loop of string to fasten that little cord to the top middle of the boom from where it can fall down my back without bumping into my ear. Not enough of a problem to deduct a Star. Now, moving on ... As I said, the mic has a lot of gain to play with, and so you do not have to have it very close to your mouth. I position it off to the side to keep from picking up Nose Blast. Even with the Breeze Protector on the end covering the microphone element, if the breath exhalation coming from out of your nose is in line with that microphone element, it will come through loud and clear, like somebody 'blowing' into a microphone. But I have no problem bending the element out of the way of my Nose Snort and still being able to adjust the microphone element boom for good singing quality. Now, if you are wondering whether you should get a head boom microphone like this in the first place, but you are resisting because you fear not having enough dynamic control over the microphone for studio work or for sensitive stage performances, well, don't worry about it. When you need the kind of control that you would have with a hand held microphone, well, its easy enough to reach up and grab the flexible-adjustable boom and to work it like a hand microphone. I've done it. some songs require a full baritone (covering Leonard Cohen or Johnny Cash) and I am more like a tenor, and so I pull the microphone in real close and do a breathy baritone, and when I'm done, I just instantly twist it back to where it was before. No Problem. Oh, now that I think about it, there is something to get used to. whenever you decide to walk off your 'spot' you have to disconnect. I am already used to taking my Head Phones off, so it isn't much of a problem remembering about the head boom mic. With the SM35, you simply disconnect from the XLR connector. Everything else can stay in place. Oh, and there is the additional setup required for using the SM35 instead of just keeping a Microphone on a Stand somewhere. There is something of a procedure for putting it on. That involves putting the head boom on your head, and then running the light cord guide clip to the back of your shirt collar or wherever, and then plugging that light cord into the little but heavy preamp (bullet proof heavy -- that little thing weighs a lot. If you were to catch a cat fish half that heavy, you'd take a picture of it)that clips onto your belt or waistband (if you practice in your pajamas or underwear), and then finally you plug in your XLR Cable (not included) into that. It takes a bit more than a minute. Taking it all the way off, requires the reverse process. Now, I recommend disconnecting the little but heavy preamp from the cord and storing it separately, because, well if you decide to store the head boom section with its light cord by hanging it somewhere, well, that dangling preamp would be quite a pull on the little cord all the time. You know I was wondering why the little preamp is so heavy, and I decided to guess that the Engineers at Shure were getting Line Hum Noise from the earlier prototypes and just kept adding metal shielding until all the Electronic Noise Interference went away. They did a good job, because electronically, that SM35 is as silent as the grave, adding no additional noise to whatever is in your Sound System already. So, yes, going from regular Microphones to this head boom will require a few additional duties and require some small additional increments of time. But the upside of having a Head Boom Microphone is that, while performing, IT IS ALWAYS THERE and ready to go. Being a Musician with a regular mic on a mic stand, well, if you are playing an instrument, it is REALLY difficult to position for both your instrument AND the mic stand, or the microphone boom or whatever. With a regular microphone, you always have to watch it to make sure it doesn't creep away, or that you don't bump into it. And all while you are trying to play an instrument. So nothing is ever just right -- you are either somewhat ignoring your Instrument, or you are somewhat ignoring the microphone. But this head boom microphone is ALWAYS THERE and you can set it up for just the right gain and position for 98% of the singing you will do, and it is so unobtrusive that it is easy to forget you're wearing it. After working with it for a month now, I can't really understand why so many performing musicians still use those 'ordinary' microphones ... they have never worked with Head Boom microphones and simply take all of the aggravations of the ordinary microphones for granted. Oh, another thing! How many performing musicians have gone on break only to come back and find that their microphones have been stolen... even entire mic stands disappear! Well, let's see if anybody can steal a boom microphone right off the top of your head! anyway, no buyer's remorse here. ... show more

Mic Placement is Everything with this good quality, Shure headset mic
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
This is a very nice headset mic, not the least expensive, but not on the high end either. The main thing is to get the mic placement right. If you have the mic positioned in the path of breath coming out of the nose or mouth, every exhalation is amplified and that's no good. It seems counterintuitive, but placing it off axis about the level of the nose and then pointing the mic capsule downward toward the mouth, seems to work best. You will have to turn up the gain a bit to compensate for moving it further away from the sound source, but this solves the problem of capturing every breath and tames the plosives. A vocalist wouldn't use this in a studio setting but for live work, it's very good because, thought it's a condenser mic (and therefor requires 48v phantom power) it does very well at picking up only the voice. I play acoustic guitar and it picks up the guitar very minimally. ... show more

"Wired" mic, not truly wired though good sound production
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
I am a drummer and starting to sing with my group. I have issues with boom mic as I move around my kit a lot. I am pretty tiny, 5' 2" and play mostly rock so I utilize my floor toms from my high hats. I wanted a mic without the expense and problems of a wireless system. I had heard pretty good things about this, though used to using dynamic mics for vocals. When it arrived, I realized that it was set up really to be used as a wireless, and came with an adapter for an XLR cable, not truly built in as an XLR hook up. AAAAnd the adapter is pretty heavy. So, you clip it onto the back of your pants, like a pack in a wireless system. Just to be clear for anyone purchasing this. Otherwise, fits great, good reproduction (at least in my soprano 2 range), will need to purchase a foot switch for songs I don't sing on or between songs as everyone in the place doesn't need to hear me trying to catch my breath!! Took the one star off really for the lack of disclosure that it's truly not wired, just an adaptation of the wireless. Could be an advantage as I can convert it! I am editing this review for my own ignorance. The adapter enclosed is the preamp instead of using the wireless power pack. So five stars. If you ever decide to go wireless you can!! ... show more

Good mic, but a challenge for drummers.
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
Fits well. Sound is good. I use it as a drummer for background vocals. I gave it 4 stars because although it works well, a few things I think could be improved. The microphone should be a bit more focused. I would like to have seen it be a Hypercardioid pattern. One that only gets what is in front of the mic and not around it. It picks up way too much of my drums. I get it, I'm a drummer wearing it, but still. Just my opinion. The cord from the headset to the adapter should be a little thicker and more pliable. I feel like this thing is going to kink badly and ruin the signal. Whereas a thicker, more pliable cord would not kink as easy. I would've like to be able to have the mic come to the front of my mouth rather than the side. If feel that it would be more focused that way. Off to the side is probably picking up sounds around it easier. Other than the above, it's a good microphone. ... show more

Versatile mic with great clarity.
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
This little mix can do heavy lifting, you can drive some serious power with high volume and low feed back; or use more gain and pickup those softer tones for singing. A versatile mic.

Better for singing than the other model sm 31
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
Quality of sound is better than the other model SM31.. I bought the SM31 thinking it would be close to the Sm 35 when singing but it isn't, it is great for talking not singing.. SM35 is better and has less back sound pick up, making singing more clear or solid for tone of voice. It is a better choice for singing. ... show more

This is no lightweight TED talk headset mic.
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
For a mic that's marketed towards people who are moving while talking (i.e. fitness instructors, presenters, etc) I can't believe that it's as heavy as it is. I can't wear it for more than an hour without it hurting my ears. Even the XLR connector is heavy with the adaptor. These things tug at the wire and tug at the headset itself if not supported on their own. I'm not saying it's useless for every application but for mine (gaming) it was not a good solution and I feel like the money was wasted because I likely won't use it much. It's a shame because I was hoping for a really lightweight unit that didn't rest on top of my head like traditional headset mics but this isn't that mic. Sound quality is great though for what it's worth. ... show more

The BEST Microphone EVER!
Style: XLR Connector (Wired)
As I was installing the headset microphone, I was a bit hesitant because I have bought a few different microphones in the past and have been consistently disappointed. In this case, this product is everything it was supposed to be! From the moment I plugged it in this unit amazed me! The tone was perfect. The volume was excellent. The fit was superb! Everything was as it should be, and it sounded beautifully! I am extremely pleased with this product. Not only that, but it arrived early and met every expectation!
