These are represented as new SM57's and SM58's, but they are cheap Chinese knock-offs. There are a couple videos on YouTube that show you how to identify the fakes.

Why would someone go to the trouble of making another mic look like a Shure when the the Shure sells used for only around $50 on EBay. How does one produce a counterfeit sm57 anyway?
