Isolates the mic from vibration very well
These mounts really do isolate the mics from vibration effectively, as well as a suspension mount or maybe better, but the problem is that the mic may sag, so you need to find a way to balance it in the mount. This is the one the President uses for speaking into a pair of SM57's with the A57 AWS so if it's good enough for that job it's good enough for us.
It fits an M88TG nicely but the barrel of an M160 is too small (or you can wrap some tape around it). It's designed to fit SM and Beta 57's and 58's and similar. If you fit it at the balance point and clamp the cable to support the back of the mic then it will stay in place but it has a tendency to sag.
But it really does isolate the mic from vibrations very well. If you thump the table or stand with this mic on it using this mount then little of the noise will be heard in the mic.

Works Well - Though Not Pretty
If you want a shock mount for the likes of SM57 / SM58 this is the official Shure one.
Pros:
It provide good isolation from knocks and vibrations.
Good built quality and materials.
Cons:
- Fitting the Mic into the mount is not the easiest.
- Though it holds secure it does not always sit very well / straight in the mount
- Awkward to adjust.
It does the job it's made for well. While handling and appearance could be better the build quality is good.

Would be perfect if it wasn't so hard to remove
As a shock mount, it holds my Shure Beta 57A incredibly firmly in place whilst also reducing vibrations better than your traditional elastic cord shock mounts but with a lower profile. I use mine live with my Beta 57 mounted to the top rim of my snare and I did notice a reduction in the odd noises I could occasionally hear when I did a really energetic rim shot, however once your mic is in the A55M, its nearly impossible to remove it due to the extremely grippy and textured rubber. On one hand it's great that the mic isn't going to go anywhere (even when I accidentally smack it with a drum stick), but for someone who wants to switch their mic between multiple sources (handheld vocal, on a stand for a mic cab, etc...) it is not ideal.

Does the job
Its kind of ugly and sits a bit weirdly sometimes but it does work fine. I use with Shure SM57.
