So crisp. Singing has become more enjoyable adding this gear into the kit.

Excellent quality, what was disappointing was the wire for connecting to the amplifier was not part of this product. Good sound quality.

This is great mic but if you are confuse between this and sm 58 then go for sm58 . Alg has highs but it's kissing the low end . While sm58 sounds more natural and give you more freedom

Check the dealer before buying!
I've had my eyes on this microphone since it used be worth 4k, getting this for around 8k now. The box (the first one and even the replacement one) was not sealed and not even in a good shape. If you really want to buy the AKG d5 for serious use, check the media I have shared. I've personally used d5 a lot in venues and was always a fan of how well built this mic is. I've used about 7 to 8 d5s's and all of them had a clicking response to the switch being turned on or off. This is the replacement unit, the first one was even worse but I didn't want to judge on one time mistake but this looks, feels and even smells used. Have to wait more now. I have returned it now. And yeah at last, as for the sound quality. I compared this with my previous Sennheiser mic which cost me around 3k and the difference was obvious to my ears. AKG sounds "fuller", it has perfect low end, doesn't compromise on highs either, is built great and I feel it's better than sm58 which was a friend's mic and I used for a couple of days. Talking about live performances, this is a no brainier, go for it. It'd sound great and doesn't need the gain to be turned on too high like Sennheiser's. 5 stars for AKG, 0 for the seller.

Decent mic. On brighter side. Not suitable for trebley vocals. Cuts through the mix well. P's and b's are problem

Nice purchase. 70Hz Roll off helps us sound better before EQuing
I am very satisfied with the Output. The 70Hz low end Roll off helps vocalists sound better before EQuing as compared to Shure SM 58. I love both the mics but I will go with D5S because of this feature and its supreme build quality. I am also using a windcutter to omit extra pops. I am already using AKG P420 and D5s makes an amazing addition to my gears. Really loving the output.

Great microphone
Have been using it for years now, it's a great product and built to last. I prefer it over Shure SM58 (personal choice). Picked two of them.

Le meilleur micro dans sa gamme de prix, AKG a tapรฉ fort !
AKG voulait changer le game avec ce micro en l'opposant aux micros chinois et aux rรฉfรฉrences habituelles du marchรฉ, notamment le Shure SM 58. C'est rรฉussit ! Un micro qui offre un bon volume de sortie, prรฉcis dans les aigues, avec un chouia de grave mais รงa se corrige trรจs facilement ร l'รฉgalisation. Une couleur trรจs actuelle, avec beaucoup de chaleur mais sans perdre en prรฉcision et en assise dans la prise de voix. Solide, la capsule hypercardioide ne capte que ce qu'on lui prรฉsente, sans reprendre les bruits de manipulation, un dรฉfaut qu'on retrouve souvent dans les micros premiers prix, idรฉal en live ou pour du reportage en salon par exemple, trรจs bon aussi pour enregistrer des podcasts qui mettent les voix en valeur sans trop retoucher au son.

Top of the line vocal microphone.. period.
AKG - what can I say. This is top shelf and nothing below. The transducer has a built-in buffer under the generous sized outer mesh cover (which also has a light wind-sock built in to it) For those unexpected pops that can destroy speakers, this has a flexible cone (think of the movement of a speaker cone as it flexes with the bass beats) and absorbs sound pops from those who "need to be heard" - while speaking into it. It is more of a high-impedance mic but does not have a switch to click into a lower impedance if needed. I am sure this is by design. I have found that keeping the master volume level down to half or slightly over is the perfect setting on a mixer. The sound produced from this model (D5S) is crystal clear and also helps to absorb annoying highs where clear treble frequencies can be lost. It is a solid build with all metal construction and the switch is soft and on-point every time (ie: no excess movement). Combine this model with a high-quality oxygen-free, lossless cable and you've got a winner. Just keep the mic at least 5 to 6 feet away from your closest speaker, otherwise you may get that terrible feedback squeel if your mic volume is turned up just a bit much. Speaking a touch louder and clear into the mic will cover the loss of volume on a mixer's microphone volume knob. Top quality and a good warranty too. Definitely purchase this for a wired mic. They sound so much better than anything I've owned by other top manufacturers. Great service from Japan too. Arrived in Canada on my doorstep in 4 days from the original order. Just don't send to a P.O box or you've got troubles in shipping. Send to a physical numbered address or use Amazon's pickup location service. But wow, way to go with this one AKG. I will be buying your products again.

WOW
Sounds GREAT! The sound quality is amazing. My voice sounds identical on the mic to what it sounds like in person. My audience (I use this for a radio show/podcast I do) noticed the clarity of my voice. There was definitive difference in the bass in my voice - there's a lot less on this mic that the previous one I used. This was rectifiable with my mixer board but if you want a deep resonant tone this might not be the mic for you - but if you want great clarity and sound and seemingly sturdy quality, this is a great mic. I also compared this mic with the Shure SM58 sound wise, and I preferred this mic over that one sound wise - it's not as muddy - it's clearer and that's the sound I was going for so I bought this one. It was a bonus that it costs less.

Great Mic
Excellent Mic, I made the switch from Shure SM58 two years ago having used one at a larger gig with a hired PA company. It made my voice sound warmer, more rounded! The sound engineer had an SM58 set up for me originally, but my voice sounded a bit nasal & Honky? He changed the mic to an AKG D5 and the difference was amazing, so much so that I went out the next day & bought one. I play with a number of Bands, mainly playing drums & singing backing vocals, I found an immediate difference when we used our own PA. The only Problem was I was getting a lot of spill from the kit especially when I moved the mic away for numbers I did not sing on. So the ideal solution was to get a D5 with a switch! So far it is perfect! I'm not saying the D5 is a better mic than the SM58, I am saying that the D5 is a better mic for me, it is more suited to my voice. If you are looking for a mic then definitely check out the AKG D5! The D5S is exactly the same but with a switch. They are a little harder to find, so when I saw one on-line I didn't hesitate I ordered it straight away from Amazon, it arrived 2 days later. Excellent service from Amazon as per usual. Great Price (a lot cheaper than the SM58)! Excellent Mic!!! PS Since I made the change to the D5, 2 other members of the Band have done the same thing, we are all very happy with the D5(s)!
