This sounds great, rugged and if damaged low cost to replace.

The only reason I say its 'very good' vs excellent sound is to get what we consider excellent, I'd have to pay about $350 or more on a Rode or Neumann mic - this one is $20.

Good sound without distortion.

Excellent clear sound and great quality.

Excellent sound even in noisy environment -high quality at very low price.

Don't misunderstand this mic is really a GREAT sounding mic.

Great professional sound and quality for the price, Sounds identical to mics costing four times as much, Great for djs and houses of worship.

I haven't used this mic much, yet, but so far it has a great sound

The snare and kick sound great, the lousy tom heads sounded lousy and loud

That hing has a great sound

good sound, but it makes a lot of noise management

Sturdy and good sound.

Great sound

The clarity and precise sound far exceeds my expectation

This microphone produces a really nice sound

If they break it you will get great sound until it's wrecked but at this price you won't care.

I actually prefer these over the Sure SM58 as I feel the XM8500 has a more articulate sound for vocals with more pronounced mid-highs so the vocals come out of a mix better, yet it is not harsh sounding.

Works great for the parties I use it for - sounds nice and clear

But this mic is a winner - it's solidly built, has a really clear sound, plenty of output, and an unbeatable price ...

But these Behringers have a real smooth sound to them, good for male or female vocalists

I am very happy with this mic - It has a nice, clear sound and has high gain

Smooth sound and well built.

The sound is good and clear.

great sound for.

I expected this be a lightweight device with marginal sound

Nice sound , nice weigh, not to heavy, not plastic.

The sound is clean and clear.

Has a excelent sound quality.

Good sound, worked for a crowd of 200 people

It handles well with clear sounds.

They seem to work good and has a good sound from them.

I use mine with a Behringer Q802 sound board, and it produces very good sounding sound

Had a couple of these arrive already missing the low end response, resulting in a tinny, unusable sound

good sound

The mic sounds great and in typical Behringer

It is a simple mic, no on/off but well built, good sound

Solid mic..good sound and feel heavy duty as it is made well

Wow, Great sounding and inexpensive.

Excellent sound

Great live sound at a great price

If you are a touring bar band supporting your own sound, grab some

Very nice sound

Didn't break the bank but the sound and quality is rich.

This sounds smooth but NOT muted and was almost impossible to make clip, unlike any of the others.

Very good quality sound and constructionI used it with ( Behringer 302USB Premium 5-Input Mixer )

The metal windscreen is smaller and much tougher than a 58 - I use these mics when I'm running sound for bands that like to swings mics around and generally abuse them, but don't want to bring their own mics

Excellent sound

Clear sound

Now I don't have a lot of experience with professional or streaming mics, but just comparing it to the audio from the built in mic on mywebcam, I have to say the difference is night and day: beautiful natural sound and picks up very little backgroud noise.

The snare and kick sound great, the lousy tom heads sounded lousy and loud

Nice clear sound.

Great sound

Sound is crisp and clear even through my old amp

I do not believe it was dropped or abused, but it is dead, no sound

I read a bunch of customer reviews before I purchased these mics, works great, got good weight and sound to them

If you are rough sounding, it will muddy the sound

Great quality product and sound

Great sounding mic, a bargain for the price.

When they do work, the sound is usable, but don't expect them to compete with a shure or sennheiser.

The snare and kick sound great, the lousy tom heads sounded lousy and loud

but it's truly amazing how close to an SM58 this thing sounds for a fifth of the

Beautiful sound

Solid build and great sound for our vocalists.

It doesn't make amplified and projected sound even with higher volume setting on my amp, unlike other high-end microphone, like Shure Beta 58a.

Sound is excellent, and construction is perfect for the price, it is like a shure SM58 but a little smaller

This mic has surprisingly good sound for this price range

The microphone has a decent sound but does not fit into the holder

I purchased four for podcasting and they are sturdy, great sounding and very reliable

Testing it on the laptop via XLR->USB cable shows that the mic has a clean sound, though you will benefit from a mic amp

Great sound

I do think the 8500 is a bit more refined and professional in sound and has an immediate good sound on plugin without having to tweak much

I'm able to get a very good, natural sound from this mike, worked beautifully.

Great sound!

Excellent sound, great price, definitely worth the $$

While my Astatic JT-30 has the great shape and crunchy sound that harp players love, I can't (easily) mount it on a stand and use it for vocals

Clean sound.

but this one has a decent sound for starters IMO

All those differences aside, I was able to get very nice, smooth sounds out of both

I record rap vocals in my very noisy loud home and this thing did a great job of keeping out those unwanted sounds while still sounding warm, clear, and smooth its unbelievable to think it was just $20

Exellent sound, quality and presentation

Sound is Great

Sound is pure and the microphones feel sturdy.

Good clean sound

With this mic, I don't have to EQ everything to hell in order to get a usable sound

Its sturdy and very well made, plus it comes in an awesome case and the sound is fantastic

Attempted every means I had available to increase the recording volume, but it just can't pick up anything outside of a very small radius (think one cm from the mic at most) and increasing the gain causes it to record nothing but static and popping sounds

I love the sound out of it

Seems to have a nice sound.

Even when you then amplify the recorded sound using Audacity sound editor, after recording with the gain at level +10, you cannot hear any aberrations, feed back, or white noise

For $20, I ended up with a super solidly built mic with great sound and awesome ambient sound block.

While not up to the standards of the SM-58B, this microphone has great sound and is very reliable.

Good sound, no extra reverb from the mic alone

Great sound

I use this one for a home video conference center and it works perfect with Behringer 502 mixer super sensitive and beautiful sound

Great quality, strong signal to mixer, beautiful sound

Works great, nice sound.

Overall the sound is a little muffled and warm sounding without any harshness or bad upper range frequencies

The first unit I got was dead on arrive, like dead dead, no sound at all

I actually prefer these over the Sure SM58 as I feel the XM8500 has a more articulate sound for vocals with more pronounced mid-highs so the vocals come out of a mix better, yet it is not harsh sounding.

I was worried about it being too shrill, and bright sounding because some said it runs "hot" and has a lot of presence boost, compared to the Shure microphones

Full rich sound without the complication of having an on / off switch, or battery

If they break it you will get great sound until it's wrecked but at this price you won't care.

I think the sound is really good for a low-cost mic

This microphone works great, sound is amazing for my journalism student girlfriend who uses it for interviews

But for about $25, this mic has a great sound, and was a lot better than what I'd been using before

Very good quality & sound.

Make sure to get a decent mixer, Had to return it but sounded nice of onboard audio, just way too quiet without a good preamp.

Sound is clear & crisp

Nice sounding mic

The sound is very cloudy and not crisp at all

It has surprisingly crisp sound.

This mic is a tremendous bargain - perhaps one of the best bargains you'll ever find, in terms of getting such a nice sounding mic for such a low price.

This sounds great, rugged and if damaged low cost to replace.

I first took notice of this mic when one of our band members' mics was clearly better, more present and clearer sounding than the lead singer's SM58 mic.

Studio Microphone (Chrome) which has been my favorite for portability and excellent sound pick-up for screencasting,

You'll have to be within a foot or so of the mic to get good sound.

Unbelievably clear and quality sound!

I was disappointed in this mic compared to the inexpensive Pyle I had gotten the sound is not as good.

Great sound.

For some reason it gives a nice sound with acoustic guitar from the videos I've studied

Compared to the Sure 57, I'd say the XM8500 had a slightly better sound.

I purchased this, along with a 15ft. hosa xlr to 3.5mm dual mono cable, to enhance the sound on my vixia r40

But overall, I'd say that the sound is very natural, it does not add the really sharp fake shrill sound to the top edge of the treble region like I often hear in all the normal "condenser" microphone videos online

I'm very impressed with this mic, its very clean sounding, so it works well with my voice when performing live in a loud venue

The sound and build quality of this mic is amazing

Just a good, solid mic with warm sounds

Great sound

After that, the mic sounded basically JUST like the SM58.

Excellent sound for $20.

Excellent build quality, hefty, nice sound, super price--has held up very well over the last year

Sound is great..

Excellent sound!!

It has good quality sound.

Sensitive mic and sound is nice.

It has a nice sound about it, and is fairly accurate with what it picks up

Great Sound!

Awesome sound!

(Behringer is fine sound-wise yet not known for their sturdiness) but it looks to me to be just as rugged

Using for karaoke, great sound

Clear sound

Crisp clear sound.

Not too loud, not too quiet, no harsh sounds so it's perfect for vocals

Sound is unreal and response is amazing.

It gives me great sounds.

It had a warm straight forward sound to it which my co-hosts appreciated

Incredible sound for this price

I even recorded most of an album with them on all the amps and drums- it didn't come out sounding like top 40 radio, but it did work

The sound is clear and loud

this mic performs as well as 100 dollar ones do, wonderful sound, i could not be happier

My wife is also a professional musician and agrees the sound was very good, and she's the toughest critic I know of!

VERY sturdy, weighted feel, great sound, and to me, sounds every bit as good as an SM58.

Love it great quality sound

I got this to improve the sound of the Blowing Up

The Mic sounds great, even next to my old Sennheiser E835

It is a nice SM58 clone, and that's a good thing--vocal clarity is very similar to the 58, it is built like a tank, sounds great, and fits the bill nicely.

Excellent mic, rugged with great sound and zero extraneous noise

Great sound and a quality mic.

For the price, it's very natural and has a good sound

Excellent build quality, hefty, nice sound, super price--has held up very well over the last year

It's got a good sound to it.

It does have good sound.

While that was certainly a workable, and nice sounding solution, we had always wanted to be able to split into a multiple mic setup

I literally preferred the sound out of this one over BOTH Shure mics and only marginally less than the MXL.

Nice microphone, good sound

If you are looking for a great sounding mic without spending big bucks , this is the best route to go

Good sound good build great price I definitely recommend it

Real clean sound, if you know how to use a microphone

Sound is very good.

Great sound.

It's just a cool, crisp sound

It has good sound and construction for the price

Has a nice sound.

Great Sound Pick

In general, the sound is not bad, but on the microphone there is no on / off button

It's light and has great sound for interviews

the mic sounds good

good microphones, clear sound, reduce or eliminate the surrounding sound (noise); good frequency response across a pretty broad range.

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

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