IMHO in most cases they sound horrible, and the sound changes all the time unless they are kept at exactly the same distance. I've started giving singers etc. a Beyer M58 instead. This is an omni dynamic, originally designed for ENG/EFP so it can take some abuse. It works very well for singers, and when used outdoors it picks up much less wind noise than an SM58.
