I use the Shure Beta 87a. Of course, Mic's are a personal preference according to one's personal needs and voice characteristics.

I would gather as much info as you can from PRO review sites, User reviews, and also technical spec sheets from various manufacturers. If you can demo them do so.

Most retailers will NOT refund your money after you purchase the Mic. It has to do with health issues and they are not allowed/suppose to take back and or try and resale a Mic that has been used.

Best regards,
Mike
