Behringer Ultravoice Xm8500 Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Cardioid, Black

Bought these 4 and now I'm getting really great audio quality, despite an AC running next to me and other noises (family, traffic, keyboard) - Microphone boom arm - xlr to xlr cable (ugreen 2 meter) - XM8500 - M-Track Solo Just remember to keep the mic close to your mouth, put a pop filter loosley on the mic (so it stops plosives better)

For the past 3 years, the only thing I heard from people is compliments about my mic. It isolate the noise and catch the sound coming from one direction (as intended).

It is all made out of metal, quite heavy, sturdy and it does look very expensive (the black matt finish looks very nice), especially with the case that it comes with. However, the stand that comes with, it is NOT for this microphone. Not sure what has happen but the clip/stand in the box is for a way smaller microphone. Note that it does not come with a cable. Also, it does not have a mute (or On/Off) button on the mic. Which means the input needs to be controlled by the console it is connected to. Tried on laptop and works also fine. Clear sound, best when used up to 10 cm from mouth. Also works fine up to 50cm distance, if you need it to be placed on a podium/tripod. While holding it / changing hands, does not capture any scratching noises, which is a very important detail when considering a mic. If that helps anyone: I bought this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08NT6MGC7/ and a pack of 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapters (They are good quality at a good price): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NF22JMM/

For whatever I buy for my music hobby, I'm restricted in the budget-to-VfM range, because I need to have DOUBLE everything, for my gears in my houses in UAE and Greece. So, speaking AT EACH END/Country for 3 Electric and 2 EQ Guitars, 2 Piano-Synth, 2 Amps, 7-8 Pedals, 3-4 Mics, 1 Mixer, 1 Audio interface, Speakers, Studio Speakers, Studio Earphones and the related peripherals, Stands, Readers, Cables, Plug Converters etc (again: AT EACH END all these), I needed a fortune if was looking in the Mid or Upper range for each category. With this in mind, I bought the specific product also. And, given that I do not claim for myself Laurels of Glory of a professional musician, I found it ABSOLUTELY SATISFACTORY (even if I was...). If I had to find to say something negative, it would be the missing On-Off button, which strangely exists on the almost similar quality-/performance-wise sibling product, yet cheaper, Xm 1800S (which also bought and I'm still struggling to find the audio differences between the two). After few weeks of operating it, I frankly declare Happy with the purchase for my needs and beyond.

Build quality is without a doubt very industrial. And sound quality is also good.

I didn't expect the of this. I love this mic and I use its allot in my live streaming in tiktok

Good sound even for recording. Articulated highs and lows for vocals. Definitely bang for the buck.

The Sensitivity or voice quality is not as good as Shure SV100, as I compared side by side.

This dynamic vocal microphone delivers exceptional performance for its price. The sound quality is clear and crisp, with a rich, full-bodied tone that captures every detail of your voice. It’s great at rejecting background noise, which makes it ideal for live performances or recordings in less-than-ideal environments. The build is rugged and durable, designed to withstand the wear and tear of regular use. Overall, it's a solid mic that punches above its weight, providing professional-grade audio without the hefty price tag. Perfect for singers, podcasters, and anyone needing a reliable vocal mic.

Great quality sound and feels sturdy and comfortable

The audio output quality is satisfactory; however, the product's price point is somewhat elevated. Additionally, the absence of an on/off switch is a notable drawback.

Il Behringer XM8500 è un microfono dinamico a cardioide che, per il suo prezzo, è considerato da molti un vero "affare". Offre una qualità che sfida microfono ben più costosi, rendendolo una scelta popolare per principianti, appassionati e per chi cerca un'alternativa economica ma valida. Punti di forza Qualità del suono sorprendente Il suono dell'XM8500 è caldo e pieno, con una risposta sui bassi che molti utenti apprezzano. In molti casi, viene paragonato allo Shure SM58, un'icona del settore che costa molto di più. Le recensioni sottolineano che, a un ascolto non professionale, la differenza è davvero minima e che, in un contesto live, offre prestazioni più che soddisfacenti. Perfetto per voce, podcast e anche per registrare strumenti come le chitarre. Costruzione robusta È realizzato interamente in metallo, dando una sensazione di solidità e peso che non ci si aspetterebbe da un prodotto economico. La sua struttura lo rende un microfono particolarmente adatto per l'uso sul palco o per le prove in sala, dove potrebbe subire qualche urto o caduta accidentale. La capsula è inoltre progettata per ridurre il rumore da manipolazione, anche se questo aspetto viene talvolta criticato (vedi sotto). Cardioide efficace Il pattern polare cardioide è progettato per catturare il suono principalmente dalla parte frontale, riducendo i rumori di fondo e il rischio di feedback, il che lo rende una buona scelta per ambienti non trattati acusticamente. Dotazione e prezzo Viene fornito con un robusto astuccio in plastica per il trasporto e un clip per stativo
