I've been thinking about useful reviews for my Youtube channel, and the stats show that people like comparisons with counterfeit or just plain and simple dirt cheap mics, up against the usual branded products. Years ago, I played the cello, and just laid my hands on one for the first time in 40 years.

We've known that counterfeit mics are available for years - the SM57 and SM58 dodgy mics being well known, but a friend sent me an SM7B to try.

Things didn't go that well, to be honest - but not in the way you might imagine. One thing is clear, you do need to be on the ball. In the video, I've run through what I found, and you can hear the genuine SM7B against the fake.

Hi guys and girls,
I just finished my video about a fake sm57 from wish.com
I was very surprised of what I discovered while doing it.

Who never thought what if when seeing an add for a sm57 under 30$ ?

Let me know what you thing, about the results, the video and production.

Thanks !
