Pyle Classic Retro Dynamic Vocal Microphone - Old Vintage Style Unidirectional Cardioid Mic with XLR Cable - Universal Stand Compatible - Live Performance In Studio Recording - PDMICR42SL (Silver)

I was honestly blown away by this microphone! The build quality is solid, and despite being encased in plastic, the chrome finish looks sleek, shiny, and high-end—it definitely has that classic retro vibe. No quality control issues at all, everything was in perfect shape right out of the box. The most surprising part? The audio quality is extremely crisp, with great volume output—easily competing with mics that cost way more from big-name brands. Whether for recording, live performances, or just adding some vintage flair to your setup, this mic delivers. If you’re looking for a stylish, well-built, and great-sounding microphone at an affordable price, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

I bought this purely for my collection. I don’t know if I will ever use it. The XLR connector it too close to the stand mount to fit easily. But hey I bought it for the looks. And such an inexpensive price

Pyle PDMICR42R offers a classic, retro-style like feel to live recordings and events that will surely please the average audiophile. The CR42 is very sturdy and has a quality build for its simplistic yet premium design. Simply, the mic is built to last. The best feature by far is its built-in pop filter that reduces the popping sound. Awhile I love this feature, I would reluctantly still find myself using an additional filter for subtle differences in hearing Ps and Bs throughout a recording. Nonetheless, It's a matter of choice and preference as there would be certain variances often plagued by the additional recording equipment I was using. It's not big on the diaphragm, but this is not what the mic's use is intended for, obviously. Moreover, the mic holds true to its wide frequency and its unidirectional sensitivity ensuring clear crystal audio. Truly one of the best mic's on the market.

This is actually a pro–sounding mic and at an amazing price. Imagine a Shure SM58 at a third of the cost but housed in plastic instead of metal. I did a side-by-side comparison with this mic and a Shure SM58. To my ears, which are pretty sensitive, the two mics sounded identical on vocals (male with range from low F to high G), and I actually preferred it over the SM-58 for an acoustic guitar and acoustic bass. Sorry I didn’t do electrics because I only have a dinky practice amp. I think the trade-off for the low price is in the material. An SM58 is nigh–indestructible, able to take insane forms of abuse from high impacts to freezing, and even cooking. This mic, on the other hand, is a light, rigid plastic of some kind. My initial impressions were just don’t drop it on the floor or anything like that and you’ll be fine, as long as it’s handled carefully. However, the threads for mounting to a stand are also plastic, and I do wonder how long the plastic threads will endure their job without wear. I’ve had no such problems yet, though. If one only uses stands compatible with the metal adapter (included), this should not be a concern. Contrary to amateur complaints… THIS MICROPHONE HAS NO PROBLEMS WITH BUZZ OR RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE. Any such problems come from the CABLE, not from the microphone. The cable included with this microphone is just a bonus; it is of poor quality and not suitable for serious use. Always use a low-impedance (XLR) cable to avoid such problems. No microphone in the world can guarantee a signal free of unwanted interference if it is connected to a cheap high-impedance cable like the one included here. Toss the cable, keep the mic. This is an amazing–sounding dynamic microphone for home/studio use and at very low price; just handle it gently. Oh, and it does look really cool. The photos are accurate. Wishing everyone good health.

I bought this mic out of impatience in waiting on a Yoga 50's mic I wont on ebay, and also because it's red and would look great for my band on stage. Oh yeah, and it was super cheap (like $22) lol. When it came in I really wasn't expecting much at all, I already knew it had a plastic shell and I had read some reviews about it before purchase. When it came in I was pleasently surprised that the plastic was nice and thick so I don't expect it to break unless I am trying to break it. The curved back feels great in my hand as I'm singing (I don't use a mic stand) The best surprise was the sound. While this is by no means compariable to a $500+ studio mic, it is way better than the run of the mill mics you are going to buy for $20-$40. It picks up everything very well (and I mean everything so make sure you cover the back if playing live and to keep the noise to a minimum when recording) It sounds way better than the Shure PG58 that we started with (to be fair it's a low end Shure mic that's about 8 years old) I'm not a recording expert, but we did 3 songs with this mic (vocals only, everything else was direct) We did an intro with a speech, an acoustic with clean vocals, and a heavy metal with screams. All of these sound great so far. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a cool and inexpensive mic for demos and live shows.

The part that screws onto the actual Mike stand is plastic, so don’t tighten it too much or it will break. Also, the grill on the microphone arrived broken. Which shows that it’s durability is not that great if it can’t even make it through the shipping process. Compared to the 55SH microphone… This sounds muffled. Also, you’re better off just singing into a dynamic microphone… This thing picks up feedback way too easily.

This mic upgrade the quality of my TikTok live! Connectivity you need a XLR female, durability I have been using it for a month and it’s still going. Size perfect! Fun to use!

Bought this as a prop for a photo shoot. I didnt realize its a functioning mic. Worked perfectly for my uses

This is an inexpensive microphone that looks amazing. Sounds acceptable but obviously for the price it is more about aesthetics than tone. Good value for show but not professional recording quality.

Ottimo frequenza giusta per la mia voce

.

i bought it for make videos and it's nice , is plastic but looks ok

It has a smaller thread to fit on mike stand so will have to get an adapter. It's Canon to jack so will have to get a canon to canon lead.
