Haha, I'm just a casual karaoke singer, looking to buy a good vocal microphone at around $30-$65. I know, the range is pretty tight, but I want a better one than the $10 one I have right now. I'm looked at Sennheiser and Shure ones, but they are over my price range on eBay. Anyone know other better/cheaper brands that make good microphones? If so, please post a link or a pic! =]

BTW: If you give me links, can you please take into consideration, that I live in Canada, so if it's not bothering you, can you please check if it ships to Canada?


Thanks a lot! =D

Here's the mics that I looked at:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-Shure-PG58-LC-Dyn...VQQcmdZViewItem


Or do you prefer ^?

If you can't swing $100(CDN) for an SM-58, you're probably in the wrong forum.

I would agree with Griffinator. The Shure SM58 is the best vocal mic available in its price range. (around $100US). If you keep checking ebay you'll probably be able to get one for around $80, or less. That will be your best bet. If you can get an SM58 for $80, the sound difference between that and anything you can get for $60 will be far greater than the $20 price difference.
In fact here's one you can get right now for $88, including shipping.

I bought the AKG D88S/XLR

Wonder if it's any good? Only got it for $50. I saw reviews that said they were good, so I took a shot at it.

Finallly got the mic.

Pretty good. No heavy breathing or "thumping" noises inputed when I sing, so I give it 9/10. the 1 missing is the noise it makes when I hold it.

Nothing in that price range can be categorized as "good".
