This isn't a subtle difference from an SM58. It clearly is a superior mic in look and sound."

I have always wanted to try this mic, and when I did, it was unbelievable."

We own both the Shure SM58 and now the Blue enCORE 100 and I can tell you I haven’t touched the SM58 since purchasing the enCORE!!!"

–  Robert  Jeffers III via Musicians Friend

When I saw this Blue encore 200 I had to try it. I'll go a bit out on limb here but for a vocal mic at this price you cannot afford not to have one. The best sounding hand held I have ever used. Even amateurs will sound pro."

I own a number of mics, but this one went to the top of my list for the best all-around application, especially stage vocals."

I was really excited about this microphone before I picked it up and now I'm even more excited since it's been on the road with me. The enCORE 300 is excellently suited for loud female vocals and gives a warmth while still cutting through the mix. "

–Brian Dunn via Sweetwater

The Blue enCORE 200 was by far one of my best purchases. The tight EQ pattern has a stellar quality for male vocals and still portrays female vocals well. I definitely plan on picking up a few more of these to have in the mic locker."

– Brian Dunn via Sweetwater

I really love this microphone. I am amazed at how naturally this mic reproduces vocal sound with flat EQ out of the box."

– Matt Kofahl via Sweetwater

The 300 is crystal clear and noise free no matter how hard I push it with high gain and volume settings. I love it."

I was hugely impressed with the dexterity of the 100's vocal warmth and definition…"

– Will James via ProSoundNetwork

I am completely blown away by the sound of these mics. Much cleaner, crisper and more present in the mix than the Shures I am so familiar with."

- RazorLand Studio via Sweetwater.com

I recommend this mic for anyone who wants to mic guitar cabinets."

- Mark Millan via Guitar Center

What a microphone. Had no experience with Blue but kept reading good things. Replaced an SM58 with the Blue and was beyond pleased. No feedback, tremendous clarity and warmth. I have to crank my 58 to get half the overall sound that the 200 produces at low levels and almost invariably the feedback would kick in."

– Punydevil via Musician’s Friend

Let's just say this: the Blue enCORE 100i is the first microphone I’ve ever regularly chosen OVER the SM57, in ‘SM57’ typical applications, namely, snare drum top and electric guitar cab."
