I would recommend the shures also, only problem I have with that is I do Karaoke in the real world bars and they may be able as quoted to drive nails with em. Drunks have no respect for the equiptment their idea of a sound check to check to see if the mic is on is to bang it on their hand first. Some use their beer bottle, others their leg ect. The cheap ones you don't lose much. For most public karaoke in the usual bar scene a set of voco pros for less than a hundred bucks is plenty okay. For weddings doing toasts, I stick to my better mics, I guess it's live and learn. I do now know how to repair dropped and banged on mics. I keep an extra repaired unit in each show for it's rotation. Whatever you buy try to get an extra mic with the unit, it will save you sooner or later.
