Behringer Ultravoice Xm8500 Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Cardioid, Black

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).

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

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.

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 SoloJust remember to keep the mic close to your mouth, put a pop filter loosley on the mic (so it stops plosives better)

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

Sounds Good specially low voice

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