So everyone is always claiming which microphone is the best for the buck. Well the truth is it all comes down to personal preference, and not only personal preference but its also gonna depend on your voice. Not everyone has the deep strip club DJ voice so we're all gonna sound different on every mic. As we all know the popular Shure SM58 is probably one of the most durable and best sounding when it come to singing either with a live band or simply karaoke, this of course includes both wired and wireless. However as most of you KJ's will agree that you probably don't wanna use a wireless SM58 or AKG for karaoke, not unless you're rich and love throwing money away. What I have found out is that AKG makes a wired microphone called the D5 which is in the same price range as the SM58 and sounds just as great if not better in my opinion. I don't have a very deep voice and I do notice that on an SM58 I have to add a little bass on my mixer board just to get a fuller voice. Unlike the AKG D5 it sounds alot fuller without sounding muffled and without having to make adjustments to the board, not to mention the head seems to be a bit more solid than the SM58. If you go online and see the specs you will see that they are roughly the same but again, if you wanna have a fuller sound on your voice whether its singing or just announcing then AKG D5 is the way to go.
