I've used the Beyerdynamic TG V50ds for both speech and singing vocals and find it performs well for both functions. The pick-up sensitivity and range are both excellent, as is the dynamic range and reproduction quality.
The mic is used in situations where there may be a number of live mics, and an engineer is not always present to adjust levels, so the quiet switching is vital.
Furthermore, the general handling is as noiseless as any other mic I've tried in that price range.
Overall, a reasonably priced microphone that handles, looks and sounds more expensive.
