I don’t currently have the industry standard Shure SM58 to compare it to, but on it’s own, it sounds great to me. Having had experience with Shure and others in this price range I can say that this mic is exceptional. I did compare it to the other decent mics that I do have on hand (just above the bargain basement) such as EV 737, Sennheiser E840, Audix OM3. The D5 presents a nice mix of power, clarity, warmth and feedback resistance. In a band situation, it helps serve with the reality of plugging into a small PA where I do not have control over the settings. The D5 helps me stand out just enough over the other mics generally being used, all of which are set more by eye than ear and kind of squashed down to a barely adequate volume and eq. If I plug in the others, then the AKG, I feel like I gianed a little more headroom and dynamic range over the others, which I would mean to say is a ringing real world endorsment

This is a quality microphone, hands down. At this price, you are getting a fantastic mic!
However, I purchased this microphone for a very specific reason. Almost every review I read proclaimed that it didn’t have the muddy lows that are so prevalent in the SM58 microphone.
Unfortunately (at least for my voice) the low end was still too muddy. Even if I addressed the mic On-axis (and not off-axis like they recommend), the lows simply sounded to garbled and brought down the quality.
However, this microphone sounds AMAZING on higher register voices, especially female vocals. I am just sorry it didn’t work out for me.

I think it is one of the best economy dynamic vocal mics on the market. The band especially likes the lack of sensitivity to handling noise. In addition, the proximity effect is not as major as it is on some vocal mics. Whether the singer is “up close and personal” or back a foot or so from the mic, the AKG D5 does a fine job. If you need an economy class dynamic mic, give it a try. It may become your go-to mic.
