For large-diaphragm condensers, check out the SE Electronics SE2200A, and the Studio Projects C1 which has a more pronounced top-end. The SM58 is a dynamic mic, so the frequency response rolls off somewhat after about 15KHz. On the other hand, it's therefore tough, which is why it's so popular for live work. Also, it's designed to be used up close, so it rolls off the bass response to compensate for the proximity effect. For headphones. I have a set of AKG K240 which work fine for me. Although they have a higher impedance than most headphones, so you really have to crank up the output levels. bye John
