Great value instrument mic
I’ve been using this microphone to mic my amp into the PA system during gigs, as well as to do home recordings, for the past 5 or so months, while also handling several of the renowned Shure 57s it clearly goes a bit further than just taking inspiration from.
No, I won’t say it sounds “just the same” compared to the better known model from Shure - rather that Behringer’s take works just as fine for live and studio recordings as the 57, which I believe is a fair assessment and sums up my experience with it.
This mic feels like a solid and well made product and works just like so, with a clear input that, while properly representing the sound from my amp, also providing a sonic range I’d describe as “familiar”, though I lack the expertise to dive any deeper than that.
All in all, it’s a solid, reliable and good-sounding mic that costs about 20 bucks and comes with a hard case. I wouldn’t necessarily advise one to cheap out on the most basic, longest-lasting and least prone to obsolescence pieces of equipment you’ll invest in, however for the rising artist and/or producer, the hobbyist musician, the Saturday night club manager or the gigging player in need of a mic that won’t break the bank if it gets lost, I’d say the Behringer 75C to be a solid bet that’ll always double as a backup, in case a more proven alternate is attained later on.

pretty smooth.
nice mic, soundwise no complaints.
if you grab it you'll hear the vibrations. but if it's gonna be on a stand I don't see a problem.
great for guitars and vocals too.

Something you don't mind throwing around/beating up
I originally bought a few of these mics to record drums, but found they had plenty of use for backing vocals with rock bands for bar gigs and smaller venue shows. I haven't done a direct comparison between this mic and the sm57 that it draws its design from, but its a completely serviceable mic for dirt cheap.

Surprisingly good
I wasn't sure what to expect from this mic but (a) it seems very solid and well build and (b) for the price you really can't go wrong ! Have used it so far in a home studio environment in front of a guitar can equipped with a 12" Celestion Rocket and the results were very good indeed. It seems pretty much identical to an SM57 or the T-Bone equivalent but at a price that's hard to believe. Comes in a nice sold case with mic stand adaptor (which has a removable internal thread) so an added bonus. There's nothing not to like about these mics.

A wokhorse
This microphone is such a pleasant surprise. It does its job well and with a slight EQ can mimic the one it is is modelled almost to perfection if you need it. But even on its own it is a great microphone. A very nice surprise, so I bought one more.

Comes with a plastic box and a clip, looks and feels solid and durable and almost identical to the sm57. Maybe this one is even better?

Extraordinary value for money
I bought this mic because I wanted a decent sounding one for recording heavy guitars at home. Having been owning the Behringer UMC202HD interface for some time (which I had very positive experience with, unlike Focusrite Solo) and after watching a number of comparisons with Shure SM57 I had quite high expectations regarding this mic and it has more than stood up to them.
Build quality:
Immediately after taking it out of the box I was shocked by the quality. The metal chassis feels great in the hand at it has quite a bit weight to it.
Sound:
I use it to mic my Blackstar HT5 mkII combo with a copy of Diezel VH4 pedal in the FX loop and after double tracking and adding some EQ I get really high quality sound out of this setup. I place the mic around the cap edge of the speaker and I get quite a balanced, articulate sound this way.
Overall, I think this mic is an absolute steal! Good luck finding a microphone that offers better bang for your buck than this one.

Amazing
I tested this verses a Rode Podmic and I preferred this one. It had a warmer tone for vocals, though perhaps less detailed..... on my voice this was the winner. At this price it is a no brainer.
