In the meantime picked up #Shure #SM58 (the classic one) and honestly I could keep it as my main mic.

It requires higher gain, so the noise floor is high but still very good results for the money.

#Earthworks #Ethos is almost 4x the money and definitely not that multiple in quality.

If I wanted to go for best value, another classic #BETA87A would be my choice.

SM58 is an amazing artifact obviously and also built like a tank but Ethos looks and feels like piece of art.
