bang for your buck!
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
