Behringer XM8500 Mic Review / Test (vs. SM58, SM7b, U87 Ai)

Today I review one of the best deals in audio, the Behringer XM8500 which is a budget microphone that goes for $25. It's certainly not the greatest sounding microphones but it functions, and it's certainly not the worst. The proximity effect is exaggerated, the top end isn't smooth and it suffers from handling noise and plosive issues, but it works.

[@roseythorn7544]

Recommended this to my ex. He sounded great until he broke up with me. 0/10 microphone.

[@skorpers]

At least it sounded good. This mic got me affiliated, it can also probably cook for you with enough love and care.

[@arfslmnsyh]

LOL!

[@Tim_ArtistName_Tallent]

💀💀💀

[@pilchthomas]

Good line

[@0000song0000]

mine sounded great until my silly uncle opened it and broke the cables inside 🙆🏻 (just because he acts like he was 5y.o. kid)

[@djp_video]

Funny story about the XM8500... A few years ago I brought a couple different vocalists into my home studio to help them find microphones which were most favorable for their voices. I had about two dozen different models of microphones -- everything from the XM8500 and SM58 and AT2020 up to the AKG C 414 XLS. Testing was done blind -- nobody knew which microphones we were listening to during playback. We took plenty of time to really narrow it down to the best 2-3 microphones for each of those two vocalists. For one singer the most pleasing microphone was the AKG C 5. But for the other, the XM8500 stood out above the rest. All of us listening thought so too. That vocalist has a bit of a darker jazz voice, and the character of the 8500 was the best match for her style. We were all quite shocked that a $20 mic (at the time) was the one we all liked best.

[@dryelene]

Wow, i kinda wanna hear her on the mic now

[@thatchinaboi1]

Not surprised. The XM8500 sounds similar to the SM7B in the mid, but is less smooth. This less smoothness is actually works well for a lot of vocals, as the presence area sounds more dynamic, giving the vocals a more upfront sound.

[@terrydoestech]

this is the mic that started my obsession with mics and studio gear. such a great mic!

[@ryan_nstuff]

okay, this was an absolutely fantastic microphone review/test. You went through so many variations and tests and made a thorough review. So much so that I actually don't even need to finish the video. clicking on that affiliate link and buying one right now. Great job.

[@Podcastage]

That is so incredibly kind of you to say. I"m happy the video was helpful for you in determining if it was the right mic for you. I hope it's treating you well. Happy recording Ryan!

[@augusto_martinez]

Beautiful review as always! Love your channel! Thank you for what you do for the community!

[@ruddock7]

I have 3 of these mics and use them for everything now. I used to use a great condenser mic but ever since i tried this out it's been in the case ever since. There is something about this mic that just sounds amazing for my vocals anyway.

[@CoolGreenApple]

I'm glad you whipped this one back out. What an unbelievable deal. The handling noise sounds oddly satisfying to me, kinda like a nice warm & fuzzy sound in my ears

[@meanmr.mustard]

Great review, as always. Bought this mic about 5 or 6 years ago for a kid karaoke birthdayparty. Just needed a second mic next to a early '90's v-tec, cos I didn't want to use a more expensive Sennheiser from my music room. It did the job for something like 17 or 18 euros. I came with a box for my Sennheiser 😉👍🏻

[@andilematomela2043]

Incredible video bro. I have no words to describe how useful this was to me. So real and fair

[@Cubasenet33]

I agree 100% with your comments. It has always been one of my preferred mics for spoken voice (never hold it by hand). Out of the other dynamic mics I have, only the AKG D5 clearly challenges the Behringer. After listening your vid I've just ordered another XM8500. Thanks!

[@Alexandra-Rex]

I was very impressed of how little sound it picked up from the tapping on the table and microphone arm, but the handling noise was devastating, then impressed by the deadness of the body itself (of the microphone..).

[@youarentreadingthisareyou]

I've used these before. For recording they're great but for live settings they're notoriously sensitive to feedback issues at least in my experience.

[@MOHAMMADAHMADRAZA_QADRI]

Love your videos mate! Keep up the excellent work!

[@lostishere]

Glad to see the rereview!

[@augustusallan3619]

Because of the handling noise, I got the SM48 instead after watching the versus video between the two. Thanks for another video!

[@leandrozalazar532]

Yo seguí tu consejo hace unos 2 años cuando lo recomendaste y la verdad muy bueno por el precio va perfecto todavía. Muchas gracias por tu ayuda

[@ericpain7887]

It's such a good idea to have one or two of these around just in case... it is very versatile and so "Good Enough" for most applications... Chances are good that if we are in a situation where we would need a really good microphone, one can be obtained, but for anything from podcasts and some light VO to karaoke and live performance, they punch above their weight for sure! It is important to keep in mind, though, that this is a $25 piece of kit, so there are some limitations...there just are, so as long as expectations are properly set, I would say yes, get one of these! It might be just the thing you were needing.

[@user-cx6rg6mr7d]

great video!! love your mic comparison series!!

[@RobbyHuang]

I’ve had one of these since 2008. It has been utterly and completely rock solid since day 1 and cost $20.

[@MartinHudec777]

Thank you for this review! For me it was very helpful :)

[@Frytech]

I bought this mic years ago after watching your comparison videos against more expensive options, and I’ve been happy ever since. I do all the voice overs for my videos, podcasts, streams, used it on the go in conjunction with Zoom u44 interface and iPad actually, and gotta say - it’s a great mic for the price. Especially given the fact it comes with that hard case. I still don’t get how they manage to make such a decent mic for so little money. Handling noise is bad, but if you’re careful it’s possible: I’ve managed to record a few podcasts while holding the mic in hands. Overall, would definitely recommend it. Thanks for your videos, man! They are quality!

[@old_jota]

Have you had any issues with insufficient gain using this on live Zoom / Meet video calls? I'm considering adding a dynamic to go along w/ my main condenser.

[@Frytech]

@@old_jota Well, it definitely needs a lot of gain. On my Zoom U44 I have it at like 9-9.5/10, so keep that in mind for sure. I haven’t really used it for calls, but if you can bring the mic close to your mouth and give it enough gain - it should be fine.

[@reVo1ted]

Long time ago based on your recommendation for budget mics I bought Knox KN-UM01. Served me well and still does, and I was interested in this Behringer mic, however lack of physical on/off switch concerns me since I like to be really sure that mic is off when I need it to be!

[@wongobongo]

I upgraded to this Mic and I've been extremely happy with it.

[@needsLITHIUM]

I have 2 XM8500 mics. One my friend gave me in 2010 to function as a backup or spare to my Shure SM58 that I'd had since 2005 (which has since broken in 2012). He had had that XM8500 since 2006. It even has Behringer's old boxy letter logo with a capital B. The other one I got in 2011 because I had discovered I liked the XM8500 as a guitar mic to blend with my SM57 or e609. I've since bought 2 BA 85a's, an SB 78a, and a B906. I have more Behringer mics than any other brand, and I have mics from Zoom, Nady, Shure, and Sennheiser. My original XM8500 mics have survived over a decade of karaoke, studio, and live performance use, at this point. They've been dropped by drunk people at karaoke, fallen off of faulty XLR cables while being swung around and gone flying into walls and onto concrete. They've also moved across the country, with the friend who gave me the first one living in Kendall, FL, and then I took them from Hollywood, FL, to Tacoma, WA. Pretty impressive, NGL.

[@Boojakascha]

wow. That's really freaking good! There is no excuse for bad audio anymore!!!

[@osovagabundo1]

I got the sb78 condenser mic by your review. It works great especially when I'm interviewing seniors and the bed bound, and the mumblers. I got the box of three of the xm8500 for a young friend and his band and they're still banging away three years later. I know you're not a fan of copy cats but it's still pretty good deal

[@Pootie_Tang]

Who can dislike copycats?

[@TopFitnessStrategies]

I've been using the mic for years! No issues at all! I recently got a new mic because I thought it was about time I needed an upgrade. The new mic sounds exactly the same as the XM8500. I wasted money. It's a great mic!

[@han-dell]

I bought one a while back specifically because I wanted the cheapest mic I could find, the guy at the store opened it up as we talked out about it and why it would be so cheap. He noticed the capsule inside is pretty much the same one Shure uses in the SM58. I wholeheartedly agree with this being the best deal in audio, across the world. (I'm in Australia, it was $35 at Manny's/Store DJ)

[@rexify3342]

How is it performing ?

[@han-dell]

@@rexify3342 it's great. Works perfectly adequately. That model really shines when you want to get recordings that you're going to edit a lot from the original sound.

[@bearweethus8066]

I wish I could talk like you. You are awesome man. We in Pakistan do not have many options when it comes to the recording devices but I accidentally found my Behringer XM 8500 3 years ago, Still haven't recorded anything but I am now definitely gonna record something soon.

[@muhammaddanish8176]

Good review👍👍 hope you will review superlux tm58 dynamic mic soon

[@Varinius]

Glad to see a review of this, I got one about 3 years ago for 13 GBP which is an absolute steal, paired with a UMC202HD its been an incredible package for the price of a regular "gamery" USB mic on its own!

[@CakeprogressS]

I am thinking of getting the exact same setup for voice videos. Chosing between XM8500 and Rode Podmic, what would you recommend? Money isn't that big of a deal but I also hear no quality difference

[@Varinius]

@@CakeprogressS I never tried the rode so can't give advice really but all else being equal rode probably has better quality/support

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

Grab a Neewer 700 or 800 too!

[@AhaOk2398]

for a "gamer" mic you want usb condenser not dynamic... dynamics are too quiet for comfortable use for discord/gameplay videos

[@AhaOk2398]

@@CakeprogressS XM8500 is just great. I'm using it over my Q2U. KZbin compresses audio heavily that's why you don't notice much difference between pricier mics too anyway. I'd recommend buying a mic booster cm-1 for $50 and a cheapest audio interface for $20 for overall a better quality of audio and a much, much better headroom in power. Cheap modern audio interfaces are good, they won't color your voice and will sound clean, even brand cheapest aliexpress ones. I'd only avoid the cheapest berhinger (non-HD), it's agey and colours audio a little bit, there are comparsions out there with other cheap interfaces. Where cheap interfaces struggle is quiet mics, they lack in clean power -- cheap audio interfaices are noisy on higher gains, anything after 3:00 becomes unusable and you sometimes need more power for some mics, especially dynamics. Mic booster fixes that cheaply (just don't fall for cloudlifter, it's insanely overpriced) and the setup of mic booster + cheapest audio interface will cost about the same for so much better audio. Don't buy the cheapest mic boosters tho because they can break easily -- CM-1 is the sweet spot and im using it, but fathead etc are fine too. Audio interfaces should be reliable regardless of price. I'm using Teyun Q-24 (is also under different brandings), but there are cheaper versions like $20 Q-12, I love how mine works with XM8500, I basically have no desire to buy anything better rn other than for the sake of having a hobby.

[@PaulSwann]

I've been using the XM8500 for several years for interviews in the field. It sounds better than a lot of higher priced microphones, and it's durable.

[@kennethbailey7105]

I was looking into a “cheap” dynamic… thank you 🙏🏽

[@MOHAMMADAHMADRAZA_QADRI]

It is a phenomenal microphone!

[@williamruck]

I work at a school and we need to put mics in the large classrooms and I use these mics. They sound great for that purpose and knowing that I don't have to care if the students don't treat it carefully is a huge value as well.

[@codegame027]

also among your older reviews I would appreciate it if you re-reviewed the Shure KSM8. Thanks

[@thebreakfastmenu]

The v7 blows me away every time you have it in your comparisons. I gotta get me one

[@theherpetoculturenetwork]

I use these and LOVE them!

[@jameskennethalan.25]

Now you've got new version! Me too! I've got a 2 two mic from Behringer!

[@commandertim575]

Awesome review!! I subscribed and will be looking at some of your other content. Thanks.

[@ghostpimp]

coincidence how i was looking into getting it and u made a video

[@DanDDirges]

I love the beefy lows and tame highs of this mic. The SM58 is much brighter and and a bit piercing. The AT 2040 sounded horrendous. Excellent review! You play great guitar BTW!

[@samnicholson5051]

For some reason the specs on the XM8500 list a senstivity referenced to 1 dyn/sq cm as opposed to modern standard reference unit of 1 Pascal. They use to use that system for mics back in the 50s. Fortunately, its very easy to translate from the old to the new - simply add 20dB. At 50 dB it's quite a high output for a dynamic. They've been selling this mic for at least 20 years now but Behringer never updated their manual. But that's not surprising, as they rarely update any of their stuff anyway.

[@Sapertf]

I think the older XM8500 sounds warmer or more V-shaped, so more people would prefer and also older XM8500 is louder, which i think is a good thing! I love the sound of the XM8500, the XM8500 has a more neutral and balanced sound than other cheap handheld dynamic mics. But I didn't expect the handing noise to be so bad, thanks for your review ❤ I also want to see a re-review of the SM58 to see how it performs(maybe vs PGA48, PGA58, SM48...) thanks!!

[@skorpers]

People prefer it at first because it is associated with "good radio voice" But once someone becomes accustomed to clean audio, that v curve starts getting irritating and easily noticeable.

[@randomgeocacher]

To my ears it sounded more natural than many of the more expensive mics :-)

[@design1of470]

I was really on the fence about getting an SM7b, b/c I just felt like I needed an upgrade. But after watching so many comparison videos, I actually just bought another XM8500 instead lol

[@BillyBxrns]

Great review as always! Would like to see what your thoughts are on the Fifine dynamic mics

[@newfoundmass]

Still the best deal in audio, but I remember when it was like $18! Glad I got all 4 of mine then!

[@MOHAMMADAHMADRAZA_QADRI]

I bought this mic after watching your budget studio setup and it sounded phenomenal! I have the senhiser e835s and alot of other mics but there's something different about this mic, I just love using it!

[@AhaOk2398]

it's better to me than Q2U, less sibilance

[@FlamingZelda3]

@@AhaOk2398 I came here from a Q2U video comment section where 1 person mentioned the sibilance issues and another person mentioned that "a Behringer stage mic and an inexpensive audio interface" is the best way to go.

[@AhaOk2398]

@@FlamingZelda3 to be fair the price for less sibilance is some sort of muddiness of audio that can be heard when you compare this mic to some more expensive/better mics. It's not noticeable in normal scenarios. Also -- bright sounding (usually more sibilant) mics can work with some specific voice tones or with languages that don't use a lot of such sounds. But overall, for my tastes, I stand with my statement. And I still think Q2U is big bait.

[@kupokuporay]

Just bought 2 of these on an ebay auction for $29 total can't wait to try them out.

[@crazygreek6341]

The king, the legend, the XM8500

[@HiGaJe]

Great review as usual Bandrew, the AT is audibly thin in an unfavorable way. This XM85 sounds good for its price. But I'm watching on cellphone, so I'll re-watch from pc with my bluedio headset on.

[@thatchinaboi1]

Very similar FR in the mids to the Shure SM7B. One of the best traits of the XM8500 is that it sounds more dynamic around the presence area, making vocals and spoken word sound more upfront. The low mids give the vocals a nice body similar to the SM7B. It may be considered a "negative" compared to smoother sounding mics, but I see it as a distinguishing characteristic that makes it useful and unique.

[@danieltekedou-in4hd]

I think I love the sound of the Mackie

[@techmed-rainer]

Danke!

[@zabdielcastillo4206]

great review, do you think it exists something better at same (or lower) price than the Shure MV7X?

[@chriscutress1702]

Not a Shure 58 but certainly an excellent live stand mounted stage microphone for low cost and a similar sound to the 58. The Behringer XM5000 does a great job for the money. The Behringer XM1800S is also surprising good for the cost, especially with the many low cost karaoke mics that cost the same or more with questionable (poor) sound quality. Behringer also sell many condenser microphones (B1, B5, C1, C2, C3, and C4) that I have used and own that are reasonably priced with good sound quality often comparable to brand named microphones. Do they measure up to my AKG414's ? No. But for live stage pickups and recordings they work very well.

[@dalebishop2632]

It competes very well with the more expensive mics and beats some of them

[@ScottFilmCompany]

Any idea if this mic will work if the Tascam DR-10x recorder is connected directly by xlr?

[@johnnyjr.8633]

MAN! I JUST literally BOUGHT THIS 3 DAYS AGO!!! XXDD

[@onlymyopiniontech]

The handling noise was a bit rough but if you put it on a descent stand or boom and DON'T bump it it's a great little mic.

[@rickonmic]

What about the BA 85a? You said in another video that it beats the XM8500. Does that still stand?

[@techmed-rainer]

Danke! No. 3 - now it's 25, just a Behringer XM8500 😎😁

Thank you so much Rainer. Time to go buy another XM8500! Haha. You rock!

[@techmed-rainer]

@@Podcastage 😄😄 Yes, go ahead to Sweetwater or Thomann and get one right now. It's called instant satisfaction 😁😁

[@IssaAzad]

You can do an entire record with this mic and the right chain. I hate focusrite preamps I'd put the 8500 thru a tube amp or a neve and a 1176 or tube tech maybe those la2a clones and just use a high quality EQ like a Pultec or software. Also try using a Soyuz launcher. Cheers. Edit: Also, try this mic with an impedance input switcher like the ART Voice channel or Tps Ii or Art Pro MPA or UA 610 and many others to change the sonic characteristics and the low end and high end and mids on the 8500 and even a sm58/57 for amazing results especially with a solid chain and back end. It's how you use the gear.

[@Tim_ArtistName_Tallent]

Mooove over Neweer. Jk this mic sounds pretty darn good in my AirPods . Reminds me of Beyerdynamic …in my AirPods . Smooth! Nice work as always Bandrew

[@yannRL]

I bought this two years ago and the only problem is that I have to be 1-5 cm away for a clear sound , otherwise the others can't hear me , I only have a umc22 as an audio interface , would a booster work ? Or should I change my audio interface if I want to speak from 5-15 cm from it ?

[@louaguado995]

Bought one about 4 years ago. It had the exact same spec's as a Shure sm 58 so I thought, why not? My first budget mic was a Nady SP1. The Behringer was so much better sounding and a better build quality.

super awesome . loved it. how is the sounds quality on iphone ?

[@Podcastage]

Even on speakers for the price it offers great performance. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@boonie3]

I personally found the BA85 to sound a little better but needed a little more gain.

[@johnnebauer436]

Very impressive mic. Make sure to eq it.

[@proffesorsyntax401]

I'm thinking about doing character work for voice acting. Is there any way to get this mic too sound more natural/flat. i.e less bass. Like what kind of eq or high/low pass should I do. And what else besides the technical side can I do

[@Podcastage]

If you're close micing, a high pass can help it sound more natural. If you want to reduce the amount of bass, back off the mic a little bit and you'll notice the low frequencies are less prominent. I think that Julian Krause has a video about EQ-ing the XM8500 to sound like the SM7b, that's not the point though, he probably shows what kind of corrective EQ needs to be done and that should give you a jumping off point to get a slightly flatter sound out of the XM8500: kzbin.info/www/bejne/maXKi3VqiJKdsJI

Good day! Mind reviewing Boya BY M800/M100. Thanks in advance!

[@bearweethus8066]

Hey ! I like all your videos but I have a problem can you please solve it? I have a 2 mic input mixer but I want to record 3 person's podcast with three mics so I can I used 1 input for 2 mics and 1 for 1 mic? I have though a workaround in my mind that if I would be able to connect 2 dynamic mics into one of the inputs using XLR splitter. So my question is would my mixer be able to power 2 dynamic mics at the same time as dynamic mics do not require phantom power. Also, please tell me if it will be detrimental to my audio mixer or not? please make a video on it. Why am I doing this is because I'm from Pakistan and audio gear here is extremely expensive also no authorised dealer of major brands is officially here so even if I invest money I will have a risk of buying a counterfeit with the actual price plus, I am just starting out so don't wanna buy a new mixer.

[@Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn]

I recorded some scratch vocals with one the other day, didn't even put headphones on (bought new ones now), and you can't hear the music in the track! In contrast, my Neewer condenser mics pick up the TV in the lounge room through a door with draught excluders and blankets with the gain almost off! Great off axis rejection! Nice sound too! I was struggling with the condenser microphones after 35 years singing into a 58 live, I just blow them away and I can't sing close enough to them to use the proximity effect like I'm used to. Neewer 700 and 800s are really good though, and about the same price. Get both, and you'll have both a decent dynamic and a decent condenser. 🙂👍

Very cool that the mic is able to fit your needs better than the other mics you have. Happy recording.
