I presently own 4 of these mics' for my Game Show system. These originally replaced 4 high end mics with these. These may not be as smooth sounding, but work well for my needs, more durable and very inexpensive. A great investment when you have to use these with people who are intoxicated or just can't get there hands off the mic. I bought 2 (one as an extra if needed) and very pleased!
