IMHO in most cases they sound horrible, and the sound changes
all the time unless they are kept at exactly the same distance.
I've started giving singers etc. a Beyer M58 instead. This is
an omni dynamic, originally designed for ENG/EFP so it can take
some abuse. It works very well for singers, and when used
outdoors it picks up much less wind noise than an SM58.
