Behringer XM1800S Set

I bought these microphones to use for practice sessions and from the reviews I had seen was expecting a reasonably good performance. The microphones come in a good quality carry case and come complete with stand clips. The build quality of the microphones is great for the money and they even come complete with an on off switch. On plugging one in I noticed that the handling noise was a bit more than an SM58. These microphones are also a lot louder than an SM58 and I had to turn the gain down on the mixer. They have a slightly different tonal quality compared to a Shure but it certainly isn't unpleasant. In fact I was shocked at how good they sounded considering they work out at under 12 Euros each. Compare that to the cost of an SM58 at 109 Euros and then try and justify the price difference in terms of sound or build quality. I couldn't! I would happily recommend these microphones to anyone who needs a cheap unit for backing vocals, practice sessions or karaoke. Perhaps even lead vocals. With a bit of EQ they sound fantastic for a 12 Euro microphone and at that price it doesn't matter if you drop one and break it. Having said that they look sufficiently well built to withstand a few knocks.

In conclusion, don't hesitate... Buy some, they are great microphones at a silly price!

I made some research on the internet and found out that the sound quality is great (good freq response) and as good as some Shure mics. Obviously, these might not be as durable as higher end mics, nor have the best components/materials, nor be the first choice for an album recording, but for this price how can you complain. Also, if you're gigging you might prefer to use these and keep the expensive ones at home.

By now I don't have any, as they have done the job as expected.
