I have less background noise in my screencasts as well making them far more professional without the expense

I would say that the 8500 blocks out background noise extremely well, you cannot hear anything in the background

needed a new mic to cancel background noise and this did the job quite well :D

(these ARE $20 microphones), but the microphones did a tremendous job of canceling out background noise and capturing every word of the interviews.

Also, in LTT's review, he made a point to say how good it was at not picking up background noise and how good the range was on this particular mic

It also does a great job at blocking out background noise.

The quality for the price is astounding, too, and I barely have to edit the audio at all because I'm just not picking up any background noise in our studio

It's just very up front, has a flat response, and cancels out A LOT of background noise, which is great

Also for some reason it seems to focus more on my client's voices, while picking up less of the background noise at the conventions I shoot at.

Doesn't need a preamp and picks up vocals well with very little background noise.

It recorded just my voice, no background noise, no loud ss's or pops, I was happy with

The big benefit is that this eliminates a lot of my background noise where I live

I even bought another type of cable but still, only amplified background noises.

If you have a sound studio this isn't a big deal; otherwise like in my case, I found myself doing a lot of editting to reduce or remove extraneous background noise in between talking

If you turn the gain down, it picks up very little background noise, and you cannot hear a car go by outside

We've put foam covers on them, and still sometimes have a problem with background noise, but it's rarely anything that the software we use can't wash out.

Perfect for if I am using in my PA system for event meetings as well as for my home rig when I want to record a song idea

Sturdy and sounds as good as a SM58 with a foam windscreen.

I am upset as with the paper work that came with the

They sound every bit as good as SM58's

At 20% the price of a Shure 58, it is a steal!o

They Have very similar characteristics to my SM 58’s though maybe just a bit hotter

I have to admit Sennheiser e 840 is slightly better but the difference it NOT that much
