General
Despite its benevolent Behringer price tag, the sound this microphone has been more than once compared to the coveted Shure SM-58 and with good reason!
It's the ideal microphone for low-budget applications that don't demand the highest durability standards. With the XM8500, beginners, drive-in shows, always-on-the-move DJs and presenters can get close to that SM-58 sound at a fraction of the price!

'Bax & Behringer to the rescue!'
When Lockdown hit the UK, I was left without a microphone for my livestreams, as I'd left mine at my friend's house and was unable to collect it!!
Having previously owned a Behringer Mixer, I knew they were a solid (and very affordable brand).
I'm super happy with my XM8500! The only thing budget about this microphone is the price! It's sturdy and the sound quality is great!

Have used SM58 and other Indusry standard mics, however trying to provide reasonable quality equipment, leads, speakers etc for musicians and being unpaid, the Behringer XM8500 provides an excellent sound for a great price, it feels good, no nasty on off switches, and doesnt fall apart. If looked after they will last, if dropped and broken, it doesn't break the bank. I own 4 of these mics used mainly for vocals andi am very pleased.

Degelijk microfoon, en om hem goed te testen heb ik heb in mijn Blackstar Acoustic:Core 30 gestopt.
Hij klinkt echt fijn met verschillende niveaus op High, Medium en Low.
Bij te veel highs kreeg ik wat feedback, maar dit kan liggen aan de feit dat ik in een kleine studiekamer heb getest, kan ook aan de versterker liggen.
Ik moet wel zeggen met wat Reverb erbij klinkt deze echt top.
Ik gebruik hem om te zingen, om te praten, en zelfs fluiten neemt hij goed op.
Ik ben geen microfoon expert, maar ik heb eerlijk absoluut geen klacht bij het gebruik van deze microfoon.
