Shure SM58 vs Behringer XM8500 vs Pyle-Pro PDMIC58 - Vocal Microphone Comparison

[@bobmarsh7550]

Finally, a vocal mic review where the reviewer actually sings. Thank you for a great review.

[@landonbailey]

oh hey thanks! ya I sing in all my mic demos

[@Russocass]

man :/ didn't know the podcast thing was affecting so much the microphone reviews, so many mics reviews I'm watching just focus on that aspect.

[@roberttjohnson]

After watching your reviews I purchased the Shure SM58 and UltraVoice XM8500 and returned the Shure SM58 and purchased another XM8500. The reason for returning the Shure SM58, I found the differences between the XM8500 and SM58 were so small that it did not justify keeping the SM58 @ $100. I am primarily writing and recording voice overs for training webinars. Great review.

[@landonbailey]

hey cool! glad it helped. ya the one advantage an sm58 will have is that it can withstand abuse, like in a live bar scene.

[@roberttjohnson]

Yes your review was a help and I think that the SM58 was overkill. I am using the Behringer U-PHORIA UMC204HD, Tascam DR-40 with the XM8500 and post processing in Adcity and sometimes Adobe Audition CS6 so the present in the brighter tone of the XM8500 works great for me, since my voice over person is a woman. I know the SM58 was designed many years ago for live stage performance and you can roll over it with a tour bus and take it to the stage without missing a beat. And a big thumbs for the reply, normally don't get replies from others. Thanks.

[@landonbailey]

@@roberttjohnson hey no problem!

[@profile1251]

is the XM8500 louder than the SM58?

[@roberttjohnson]

Yes the XM8500 is louder or a bit more sensitive than the SM58 requiring less gain and it's a bit brighter than the SM58. The SM58 sounds more mature to me, meaning fuller on the bottom, not as bright in the upper range and smooth proximity effect. I record webinars for online training and using the SM58 my voice over woman must be careful not to get too close to the SM58 due to the proximity effect so she does not sound like Lady Barry White, that's one reason that I prefer the XM8500 and it's $20 and you get near SM58 performance and the SM58 is over kill for my use.

[@hotchalupa]

XM8500... 90% of the performance, for just 20% of the price. No brainer in my book. The Pyle is a complete pile.

[@biscuitnougat5749]

super accurate

I think 95% or even 98% the Sure XD

[@angelofaraday5280]

The pyle isn't great on guitar cab. But to be honest the pyle sounds epic on bass drum. I feel like it's how it handles the attack. Glenn fricker and rdavidr have both commented.

[@lucasmachado6202]

Not liking this because no destroying the 69

[@felixsu375]

I couldn't tell the difference. More like 95%. I would buy the xm8500 every time. There just enough difference to justify the extra cost.

[@stoneyrunva]

Already had an XM8500 that I use for Karaoke/DJ at local pubs. It's tough, well made, and sounds fantastic. It actually feeds back less than my 58. My shure 58 has also been a good mic. But, to my ears, this XM8500 is just as good as the 58 and can be EQ'd to match the 57! The Pyle was pretty muddy by comparison.

[@landonbailey]

Thanks for sharing!

Nice vid. My only quibble was the excessive reverb on the singing, which tends to blur the differences between mics. Back the reverb off about 50%! Otherwise, good job.

[@landonbailey]

thanks! ya I'll keep that in mind for future mic vids

[@ggforce]

Good presentation and production - Would be most helpful to have a back-to-back results comparison/summary at the end of each segment, or at least at the end of the video - otherwise nearly impossible to effectively compare the sound of each. I hope that makes sense. Thanks.

@@landonbailey I think you did great. You are allowing us to make our own judgments.

[@jesman1985]

The Sm58 sounds more true to voice. The xm8500 sounds warmer to me. Like it would make for a better podcasting or chat mic. It has nice lows. The pile was ok. Not great.. but isnt as bad as everybodys making it out to be.

[@landonbailey]

thanks for the feedback!

[@robertkeller9828]

The XM8500 isn't a bad mic for vocals

[@1110100110]

I use the xm8500 myself as a chat mic. The only problem with it is either the gain is so high it picks up toothpicks falling on carpet two rooms away, or I sound like I'm a football field away. I'm setting it up with an iso shield on a boom arm to see if I can balance it out more tomorrow, and I have pretty solid confidence I'll be able to cancel 80% noise that isn't linear.

[@mishmarvel7242]

I really like the sound of the Behringher & I didn't hear that many pops with that one either. It's currently on sale for £12.84 on Amazon in the UK & think I might buy that one. Can probably buy that mic, interface, cables & possibly monitor speakers for nearly same price as a Shure mic. Love your singing voice by the way 👍

[@landonbailey]

cheers thanks!

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

You gotta love Behringer for people recording or making music at home on a budget. I've got a few of their effect pedals (The SF300 Super Fuzz is worth twice the price) and their C-1 Condenser mic which has served me well for how much it cost, might add the XM8500 just to have other mic options.

[@God-yb2cg]

The C-1 is unusable trash, now matter how much I like the tone of it, it's extremely high self-noise makes it unusable even without compression. Gating doesn't help, only makes it worse, using expensive (cracked) proprietary noise reduction plugins at extreme settings makes it a tiny bit more usable, but at expense of quality. The whole reason I'm watching this video is because I once made a mistake of buying that shitty Behringer mic. Will get a dynamic this time, but I'm suspicious of buying anything Behringer again, it's just throwing money to the trash, same for that shitty interface that I bought. Maybe you got lucky and got a good sample, meanwhile I got a bad one, but I'm done playing lottery with microphones, end up paying more in the long run.

[@Layarion]

i gotta admit, the plosive protection on the 58 was superb.

[@azariah4001]

Hi great video do you think if I bought the shure sm58 I would need a preamp I’m a singer

[@yamdigger]

I just took delivery of a pair of XM8500. 1. I’m impressed that for mics of this price point, that they come with a padded carrying case. Even Shure doesn’t do that for their Sm58. 2. When I took them out of the case, they had a pleasing feel of heft and solidness to them. The body of the mic is made from fairly thick machined aluminum. The grill ball seemed quite durable too. I’m not expecting them to be as indestructible as an SM58; but they seem to be able to withstand a bit of abuse 3. Connected them to my preamp, and while I don’t have an SM58 to compare them with, they sound pretty damn good for for a mic 1/4 of the price of an SM58.

[@landonbailey]

I think they are the best value in terms of build quality and good performance

[@mmmm_cookie_lord]

They are actually 1/5 of the sm58 price, which makes them even better value

[@john-gt1ys]

Hey, great review! Just wanna know if there's any annoying background noise in Behringer xm8500 when recording vocals cuz I'm planning on buying one as stood out to me. Anyway, keep up the good work!

Enjoyed it! funny, entertaining, great comparison and noone is mentioning your ridiculous vocal chops - thank you from all of us that haven't expressed it yet.

[@landonbailey]

thanks John!

[@JonBakerMusic]

I've got the XM8500 - it's a really good mic for the price... I do find I need to gain it pretty high on my interface to get a good solid signal, but once it's there it sounds good with excellent off-axis rejection! 😀

[@landonbailey]

I think that's common with mics that don't use phantom power. I've got the gain up a lot compared to my condenser mics

[@JonBakerMusic]

lando27music Yep - definitely finding that out! My phantom powered condenser mic needs a lot less gain, but also picks up everything - not ideal for isolating a part, but great for room micing!

[@musdg864]

A Beginner Guitarist's View hello bro can you connect XM8500 directly to your PC without any phantom powers and stuff and tell me its good or no im gonna buy this if you say its good :))

[@skit3757]

Honestly, you can't say it won flawlessly. Sure it won, but not by a huge margain. The xm8500 is (like hotchalupa stated in another comment) a microphone that performs around 90% of the SM58 to 20% of the price. I'd say that's a bigger win honestly, considering the extreme difference in price to performance ratio. SM58 won audio wise. XM8500 always wins in price to performance.

[@landonbailey]

oh hey thanks!

[@OrinBuck1]

If you take the windscreen off of the SM58 it sounds exactly the same as the SM57, so you can use it for micing amps and get the classic SM57 sound-you just have to be careful not to damage it. Can you take the windscreens off of the other mics?

[@Banyusz66]

Thank you very much for the demo!

[@landonbailey]

🎸👍

[@jensendash]

I don't use the xm8500 because the highs blend into the mids after about 15 foot of cable. Maybe works for a podcast or home, but not for a show. I've used Pyle almost exclusively. The cables are completely 100% garbage. I just solder off the ends for back ups. The mics are pretty great though. I run karaoke 5 nights a week. That's like a minimum of 10 drops on the same mic each week. I've had them over a year. That's a crazy large amount of drops!! I had two sm58's. The wire to the coil is exposed from the side weld into the membrane. They lasted maybe a month each. I have great sound in my shows. Like, I have a regular that was in Trapt (if that means anything? Lol) and he tells me I make each singer sound their best. So I got the SM58 to really up the anti. It didn't. You ever seen a drunk guy swing around a 100 dollar microphone on a 40 dollar cable? I have. It isn't fun. Go with the pyle. The three pack is amazing! Again. Fuck their cables. Spend a good chunk on nice cables. A good cable, for anyone who travels, is an overlooked and under appreciated purchase worth making. Anyhow. That's my two cents.

[@miguelkieling532]

I'm considering buying the XM8500 + M Audio Solo interface. The purpose is podcasting and voice overs. I was just wondering if a fethead would be useful or would you say the difference in sound quality would be negligible? What are your thoughts? Many thanks for this review and your time. Appreciated.

[@landonbailey]

hey there! I’ve never used one before so I can’t say for sure.

i honestly like the Pyle 2nd next to the SM58. they were both alot more full to my ears compared to the xm8500

[@fallsunset5862]

The tone of the Pyle was the best and it was the only significant sound difference but the clarity of the xm8500 was amazing same with the Shure sm58 and the sm58 had the best plosives

The SM58 had the best sound. The Behringer was very close though so for $20 (on amazon now) seems an exceptional value. I’m not a fan of SM 58’s as they don’t sound great but they sound ok and take a beating so understand their use. For a cheap backup mics I’m going Behringer.

[@rsaragosa]

Good job Landon. The differences were not as widespread as I would have thought they would have been. As you noticed and I heard the Shure seemed to be more balanced and natural then the two others. There seemed to be a increase in certain frequencies with the Pyle and Behringer. I didn't think either mic did all that well as a guitar amp mic. One factor in purchasing either one of these mics would be durability as well as performance. I think the Shure will take a beating and still work at least that has been my experience. For the money the more economical mics are not too shabby, keep up the good work.

[@landonbailey]

thanks Ruben. the Shure also appeared to have the best pop filter

im loving the sm58 more now that the pop test you showed out preformed the other 2. my main concern is the pops and not needing to add a windscreen. (using indoor only) thanks!

[@stoneyrunva]

Aside from costing less, foam slip over covers serve multiple purposes. A distance gauge, pop filter, keeps your lips and mic clean, an added bit of drop damage protection, foam doesn't roll off a flat surface as easily, washable/reusable, and you can color code your mics with different colors for identification or fun. If you use mics in a bar or environment where smoke is heavy often foam covers are vital. My real world testing running karaoke has me ordering more XM8500s.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

I'm glad I went with the behringer and didn't waste my money on the pyle microphone. The Behringer punch aboves its weight class and can hang with mics like the rode podmic

[@jonsubs9998]

I've used the XM8500, it's a good mic. The eq curve is not identical to the SM58, it's meant to be brighter to provide more presence. Good clarity for an entry level dynamic. Where the SM58 wins is steadiness. It does a better job of maintaining steady volume and has a cleaner transition with the proximity effect. In essence the XM8500 sounds great, but the SM58 is easier to sing into correctly. With the XM5800 you'll have more variance as you move around and your voice goes into loud and quiet parts, the SM58 does a better job at keeping all of that somewhat unified as the same performance. If you are trying to get a good recording, it helps not to ride it. All the instructions said the same, keep at least 2 inches from the mic. Sweet spot is around 4-5 inches. Here's a trick: get a pop filter and set it at around 4 inches.

[@landonbailey]

Behringer is pretty good for 20 bucks, and Shure certainly seems to be the best among those mics. I would never buy Pyle.

[@shajikannan4110]

Which one is better you thinking sr

[@MiloTheFirst1]

I am gonna be that unpopular opinion and say I don't particularly like using the SM58, don't get me wrong, I agree it is an all around good quality mic, bu in practice as an AV technician I have always found it sounding too thick around the lower mids, I mainly serve in conferences but also mix music presentations every so often and while I can equalize it without trouble since, again, the signal it provides is perfectly acceptable for that price there is just so many other options, personally I prefer the sound of the Sennheiser e835, it helps me keep the EQ more subtle which for me is the best approach when possible. now regarding this video, the SM58 performed as expected, the XM8500 (the one I watched the review for) turns out to be a crazy good value, like wow, from a business standpoint if the AV reinforcement provider is going to have a capable technician during the event I see no reason to chose any more expensive mic for PA at any "boring" event. then, I wouldn't use that pyle even if some one gave it to me as a gift. thanks a lot for the vid, was very useful and entertaining

[@MarkBatchelder]

Nice video! I have suggestions about a couple more tests. I would be interested to know how they compare with handling noise when you take the mics off the stand. My guess would be that the cheaper mics have more handling noise? I use Shure SM58 mics for live vocals and sometimes for recording. I have different cheap mics (not the brands you tested). I have never formally tested, but it seems to me that the Shure SM58 mics have a wider sound pickup area - they are still pretty loud even when I am singing into them a little off-axis. Even though it seems to me that the cardioid pickup area is wider on the SM58 mics, I have not noticed any additional feedback problems with the Shure mics. I look forward to a comparison of SM57 style mics. It is always nice to have a few cheap mics (which are almost as good) when you don't really want to use your good mics.

[@landonbailey]

thanks for the ideas! I'll be doing more comparisons with the sm58 in the future.

Thanks Landon. In the hands of someone who knows what they are doing all 3 will do a good job. In a live situation with modern digital desks with 4 band PEQ's there is no reason NOT to get a good sound with any of these mics. I do the sound regularly for acoustic/world music bands and I use 15 XM8500's, 1 SM58beta for the lead vocalists ( but I use the XM8500's on lead vocals often too with no problem) and a few condenser mics for instruments . No one has ever noticed that they are singing/playing through £18.00 mics, I mostly get compliments on the sound I do. LEARN YOUR GEAR, master the basics of sound production, and have fun.

Great job as always.

[@samnicholson5051]

True. Also things like build quality, wiring and protection against handling noise, are other factors that cause the price differences. Cheaps dynamics really fall quite short of their main function, which is as a reliable stage mics. That's not to say that they can't be ok for recording.

Actually, having used both side by side, I can tell you that the Behringer can take more gain than the Shure before feedback, and sounds clearer when EQ'd.

I don't know how these would connect to an Android phone. They aren't designed for that.

@@landonbailey How about these below? kzbin.info/www/bejne/horHmYmMi8-im6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3bYnmOPqJaEhJo What do you think?

Hilarious ending BTW!

[@theresamarah6554]

What software are you using when u sing and do I need an adaptor to connect to my computer or phone?

[@landonbailey]

[@marcuseffendi5241]

hello.. May i ask if these microphone can be connected directly to an amplifier? Thank you in advance.

[@landonbailey]

I dont think it's recommended, no. :)

[@bobbyrosedoesthings35]

I think the Pyle, Behringer and a Shure SM48 would of been awesome too.

[@landonbailey]

Good video Landon. By far the Sure was the best. To my ears, the Behringer was second. Now several years back I was involved a couple different podcast and did use the xm8500 along with different ones. I thought it was ok. My favorite for just podcasting and not singing is the Audio Technica ATR2100 which I have. I also have AT2020 but that is a condenser Mic. I rather use a dynamic for podcasting. Oh, I have a sure SM48 which is ok too.

[@landonbailey]

hey Mitch! thanks for the feedback. 👍😁

[@stefanpetrov8]

Hey, I'm thinking of getting either an SM 48 or an XM8500. Which would you recommend? I'm getting three of em, so need to make the right decision. Thanks!

[@landonbailey]

hey there! I have never used the sm 48 do I can't comment on it.

[@AllanEvansOfficial]

One thing I don’t particularly like about the behringer is it sounds relatively unflattering with his voice when singing. Pretty flat sounding almost nasally. I actually prefer the Pyle over it with his voice.

[@ivanmarcelperaltatoledo3639]

Thanks You is excellent i like your expossion

[@landonbailey]

Thanks to you

[@arrowarrow17]

Thank you. I have bought Behringer XM85000 the cheapest one.

[@AsianJBlazian]

Great video man! I currently own this mic, and the only downside is, it sounds flat on instruments. But rich in vocals! I gotta say, you seriously sound similar to a voice actor name Jonah Scott! LOL

[@landonbailey]

Cheers! Which mic do you own?

[@AsianJBlazian]

@@landonbailey oops😂, the behringer XM8500

[@John48778]

Behringer and shure nice

[@musdg864]

Can i connect XM 8500 directly to my PC with XLR?

[@landonbailey]

ya should be ok with the proper cable. It doesn't use phantom power

[@musdg864]

Lando27Music thank you for answer bro

[@musdg864]

Lando27Music did you use any phantom powers or any other powers in this video?

[@landonbailey]

I don't believe any of them use phantom power

[@eddiahmadjjelektone]

1.Shure Sm58 ... 2. Behringer XM8500 ... 3. PDMIC58. For vocal, Shure very detail, no cracking. XM8500 its okay

[@ginolamendola4084]

Unfortunately, the most expensive one, the Shure SM 57 sounded of the best to my ears.

[@Suave26]

He didn’t know what to really say on the talking part of the test but when it was singing part bro was sayging lol

[@foursevnnn]

If you buy an sm58 you’ll never need another mic again

[@landonbailey]

They can take a beating

[@phillipzx3754]

Lately, I've become a bit week in the knees for the beta 58 too. It's a hell of a mic for the bucks.

[@joejohnston2035]

The Lampifier 111 will shred all three test examples to pieces

[@huntergcarswell]

SM58 vs. SM7B??

[@tonedriverss8629]

Great vid . The Behringer wins overall for price vs performance . I have a few diff models of Behringers , as well as SM 57 and 58 's and Audio Technicas . Very impressed with the Behringers esp for micing amps and cabs . Very good bang for the buck .

[@landonbailey]

hey cool. how about the case it comes with!? that's an awesome flight case right? thanks for the feedback 👍😁

[@tonedriverss8629]

Yes , excellent packaging ! I had bought the 3 pack . Came with a nice case holding all 3 very nicely ! Still have them all. Been even using one of them on floor tom duty on my tama drum kit . Its been a few years and flawless performance every time . Its even hard to tell the Behr and SM apart on live vocals . A good choice for lots of applications .

[@KenTeel]

I'm wondering, who wants to see the unboxing? Why include it?

[@landonbailey]

many people like unboxings
