All user reviews of 1/5 for the Shure Lyric 8700

Dynamic vocal microphone for scne, or rather for rptition in garage when not afford it. XLR connector, a cable with XLR / Jack, he has an ON / OFF button. And that's all.
8 becaufe I put no more in demand, from a cable XLR / XLR, and a little foam in the cardboard box, rather than a plastic bag bubbles.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about two months, it has a very solid look and PSE weight, not like many other mics in the same price range (35 euros) plastic fake.
I tried other mics of all kinds (Beyer M88, Sennheiser MD22 and MKH416) but not in this price range. So a micro rotten, but it was better not expect, the bass is absent, serious as a small bump in the medium and treble that spit.

I do not have that choice would do.

While SM58 cash well, the 8700 can not stand being touched, otherwise boomboom in the ears up essential ...

ONE YEAR AFTER:
I compared a micro supemarch Phillips (all plastic, with welded cable jack. This is the same! Can not DTECT any diffrence in the microphone, in noise manipulation, or in the directivity. So that Phillips uses Shure capsules, may be that the two will provide in a Chinese specialist in capsules Go supermarket, I put 2 / 10 because now I have Oktava MK012, it gives an ide of what a micro ...

AFTER FIVE YEARS:
It's been a while since I sold this microphone! Now I have Oktava (MK012, MK102, MK103, MK319) and the ending for the Sennheiser Audix, and I will never touch these mics animation camping!
