In this microphone buying guide we taking a look at 5 of the best vocal microphones for singers that you can pick up for between £50 to £150.

All of the mics in this video are dynamic microphones, which means that they’re tougher and more durable than studio condenser microphones, plus they’re less prone to feedback on stage and they can handle higher sound pressure levels without distorting, so they’ll handle even the loudest of singers. Unlike condenser microphones, these don’t require phantom power, so they’ll work easily with any system, and they’re all designed to be either handheld or to fit into a standard microphone clip, which they all come supplied with. So all this means that they’re ideal for both lead and backing singers, and because dynamic mics are kind of a jack-of-all trade microphones, they can be pretty multi-purpose so could also be used for miking up other sound sources such as snare drums or guitar amps at a gig.

So if you’re looking for an affordable, but pro quality microphone for a singer, starting at around £50 we've got 5 great options from the likes of Shure, SE Electronics, Sennheiser and Lewitt-Audio, so take quick look and listen here with PMTVUK and pick one up at your nearest Professional Music Technology store.

I'm loving the Lewitt MTP 550. The PGA58 in your review here sounds amazing but I've heard it sound like crap in other reviews. Meg can sing me the phone book. One of the best vocal demo singers in any video.

[pauldrumstimelessmusic]

Great presentation. Your demos are always so detailed and real world. The mics all sound great with subtle differences to my ear at least. If I had to pick any, the Beta 58 and E835 seemed the nicest sounding in this comparison.

[originalmindset]

They're ALL NICE, but in the end, I'd have to go with the "Shure Beta" for it's Price and Build Quality. 😉 Great review, thanks! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

[thommi]

I prefer and have bought a few V7s. Nice sound and build.

[chipcaronte]

Well, old video I guess... But I think the Sennheiser takes the cake, I just can't help but love the bass response when she sings "I'm..."

[WingofTech]

This was such a great video and you showed me some mics I really hadn't heard of! :]

[karengayle]

I always learn new things from all of you blokes, keep up the good work!

[Ezra.emerson]

fantastic. Made it all seem so simple.

[andreyboyko]

Great review! I own Lewitt 550, V7 and 58beta. All are great.

[DrMarv]

This is cool but the demos are a bit unrealistic being THAT FAR from the mic itself.

[manoftheword]

I loved sE Electronics V7 its so much lightening

[PJmusica]

Not only is that girl, at your place, an excellent guitarist but she's also a great singer, never knew. Hmm? Interesting review. Super cardioids are a little weird on stage cuz if you move your head from side to side at all you can lose the signal but I get the feed back rejection thing.

[wayneashley]

TYSM for a wonderfully informative video!

[jasonbodden]

I absolutely love Meg's voice but wonder why she sings so far away from it. If this is a comparison, most people want to hear these mics used at the distances most people would use them at, which is to say a few inches closer.

[Miguelc]

Thank you for taking the time to test them

[johnsenior]

Once again Sam, love your work. Always trust your reviews pal. John

[matoni]

All of those will do the job. However - AKG D5 is best bang for the buck.

[catjack]

Your videos re so good thank you for sharing!

[jjones]

Thanks. You can really hear the differences.

[nicholasparis]

Nice selection of mics for a comparison!
