BEHRINGER XM8500 PROFESSIONAL MICROPHONE &nb

This is a good entry level microphone

For the price, about as good as you get. This mic is unbelievable. The price has nothing to do with the quality this mic puts out..Behringer sure knows how to deliver value. buy it you wont regret it

This mic has a VERY clean response that bring out the tone of my lows, mids, and highs with stunning clarity; I have used several quality mics over the years,and the XM8500 ranks among my favorites; From a side by side comparison with the SM58 and could not tell a difference in sound quality.

its hard to complain about this mic for the price and quality only thing i noticed is it doesnt have an on/off switch; no quality mic that I know of does - including the 58

I'm using this to replace the Rock Band mic. This, along with the XLR-USB adapter also sold at newegg, is cheaper than what is sold at RockBandParts. It definitely works with RB/GHWT/etc., and the game will detect your singing perfectly.

I don't know much about dynamic mics, but this one performs perfectly well for my needs; Came with the part to hold the mic and screw it onto the stand

This Behringer XM8500 compares to the Shure SM58, yet at less than 1/3 the price of the latter. It's even better suited than the SM58 for studio use because of it's lower dB sensitivity (-70dbl compared to the SM58's -54). Highly recommend this mic for live and studio applications.

Contrary to populist opinion amongst many "experts" I always find Behringer products to be good value for money and generally perform well. The XM8500 is no exception to this. I am "forced" to write this review because I was unable to post a brief comment on a previous review titled "Vox That Rocks"...

cheap; sturdy consruction

none at the price point

Amazon Verified Purchase ( What's this? ) This review is from: Behringer XM8500 Dynamic Microphone, Cardioid (Electronics) This mic has surprisingly good sound for this price range! I would definitely recommend it!

Great Karaoke microphone! sounds as good as my Shure. I would have paid more for an on/off switch but at this price,stock up! you won't be disappointed.

A great deal; Great Sound quality; Nice heavy construction; Priced to please everyone

No on off switch

Having recently switched radios again, wanted to run the Ultravoice on my TS940. As the 940 has a high impedance mic input the Behringer wasn't performing up to its potential. I bought a Hosa 200 ohm to 50K ohm impedance transformer and mounted it inside the XM8500. Performance is amazing.
