Once I signed on I realized I have made many reviews of items and answered many questions for other users, so instead of deleting my account, I went into settings and deleted my credit card off the site, Then I change my username on the site (what shows up in reviews and questions) and changed that to "TRUMP WON" and it changed to that for every review I ever made or question answered

Yup. Garbage. I was upgrading my podcasting and streaming setup with the Shure, but it turned out to be Slnure, with a lowercase l and lowercase n shoved up next to each other to look the part. Assholes. I'm an ex musician. Lips are too shot for brass instruments. Played screech trumpet for wayyyyyy too long. And I can't sing worth a shit, though my wife records vocals on my equipment and loves the sound quality for a usb mic. I ended up with a Blue Yeti X. My shock mount and boom arm will be in tomorrow. Better than the old high-end Sennheiser XLR mics I had and at a fraction of the price. :D
Go to a pawn shop and buy an old sm-58... great sound, extremely durable...
I used to have a couple. Sound was too bright for me, but they were great road mics. You're right. They are really durable. And still fairly cheap new at $99.
IIRC, I had an older version of the Sennheisser E845S, which is very similar to the Shure, but with a richer sound imo. I had 2 of them when I was DJing weddings a LONG time ago. I'd use them with either XLR or a wireless adapter (which were junk back then) and give them to guests for toasts, speeches, and the like. They were durable, picked up anywhere somebody wanted to talk into it, and looked the part. My personal mic was a first gen (I think) Sennheiser MD241. It was a gift from the guy who trained me as a DJ. Idk if they made that mic in the 2000s, but it looks identical to what I had and sounded incredible for the time.
Funny thing is, that digital usb Blue Yeti sounds better at half the price. Tech has come a long way in a decade or so. Its all aluminum and the cardioid pickup is incredibly sensitive. I barely use any gain to push it, even into my monitors. I'd love to see Shure or Sennheiser branch off into a usb design, each with their distinct sound that users like.
I couldn't help but laugh at the first part. Sorry man.
