  Audiofanzine FR's review

  Characteristics

  Originally written by Yam59 on Audiofanzine FR.
  
  
  
  I used to have a Shure SM57 for trumpet and a bugle for pop and jazz. I forgot my mic when I went to a rehearsal so I used the T-Bone MB85.

  Overall Opinion

  I was impressed by the highs! No distortion and clear sound, even at 50 cm. It was the same with vocals. So I ask myself why is there such a big difference in price compared to the SM58 or SM57... You pay for the brand! So I bought this mic and I recommend it! The only question is: will it withstand the test of time...
  
  Very good value for money. It looks like the SM58: almost same weight, same sturdiness (or so it seems). Very good lows and highs compared with a SM57, which tend to sound a bit dull. Better than a replacement mic...

  mazdom's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Bluffing"

  Characteristics

  Singing.
  
  See above for characteristics

  Overall Opinion

  I use the microwave for 5 or 6 years. I've done blind tests with several musicians, or they are unable to differentiate the shure beta 85 is the first place they beta 85. I had to buy at least 5 and I will continue ... on the other hand I was pretty disappointed with the copy of the 57 that I have returned.

  Doctor Feelgood's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Widely across and cheap."

  Characteristics

  Dynamic microphone shure sm 58 type but shhhhuuut!

  Overall Opinion

  The sound recording is widely copied at the micro is the sm58. One really wonders if it's worth putting more money into a shure. But hey there are people who prefer brands that will not discuss ...

  manudox's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " A little disappointed"

  Characteristics

  Micro song.
  
  
  
  Presented as a clone of a great brand.

  Overall Opinion

  I have several references microphone singing.
  
  
  
  I bought an AKG D660 because I had this on a wireless capsule and the sound is decent for the price, it was also around 40 €.
  
  
  
  I have SM58 Shure Beta58.
  
  
  
  The MB85 beta is presented as a clone of the Beta 58.
  
  
  
  Indeed the transition from one to the other, we say wow this is really not bad. Yes the bass is not too far forward, the overall tone of voice is not bad, nice. It does not attack in the medium as an SM58 can do evil equalized.
  
  
  
  Listening a bit more, everything is part of the acute spectrum is not true at all, and found very unpleasantly forward, but no finesse, like the voice scratching on vinyl, while a beta 58 is sweet and faithful throughout the spectrum.
  
  
  
  You tell me I compare a microphone € 40 with a € 160 micro.
  
  
  
  Comparison with Prodipe TT1 famous that I use on weddings. The prodipe has more attack, treble end is very nice. Nothing to see! I always say that prodipe sounds "fair" to put his voice to the animation before it is really micro top, thomann too no longer wanted to return to service for this purpose. First and last time for animation microphone.
  
  
  
  It will stay in my spare suitcase.
  
  
  
  I will continue with my TT1 for small benefits, and for shure scenes.
  
  
  
  Manufacturing side, bought the bundle with the foot and cable, and one evening after some manipulations, I managed to already damaging the paint MB85 while TT1 touch plastic finish with aging very well after 2-3 seasons . The metal grid is not as robust as the Shure ...
  
  
  
  I'm a little disappointed with this microphone, in short it was worth the money ...

  supermike12's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Pattern: Supercardioid
  
  Bandwidth: 50 to 16,000 Hz

  Overall Opinion

  I use it for almost 2 years. it is a micro super sturdy. you can clean the grille and windscreen which are removable. its level, nice attack, brightness and good reproduction of the stamp. I can not do without it-so much so that in concert, I needed to deal with traditional sm58 and I wonder if I do not prefer his "big" brother beta 58 (but this may be due to my habits).
  
  
  
  value for money against its direct competitor "shure": 10 t-bones, a shure
  
  
  
  I would do without hesitation that choice and elsewhere, as the opportunity arises, I rachèterais two or three ...

  Reiep's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Cheap, not bad"

  Characteristics

  Dynamic micro-oriented song, but can do the rest :)
  
  
  
  Other opinions have previously discussed the characteristics. It looks pretty solid.

  Overall Opinion

  From my point of view, ie catches and occasional voice of a little ukulele-making, he made his job very well. For an amateur job like mine is more than enough. The value for money is quite exceptional.
  
  
  
  I will definitely complete my assortment of microphones with other Tbone.

  saturax08's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " very successful micro and cheap"

  Characteristics

  micro dynamics of a very good value for money.

  Overall Opinion

  This mic is very clear and it is very close to a condenser microphone because of the extent of what he can capture a dynamic that is stunning. Of course as others have said here it is largely as good as the Shure SM 58 and is better than the 57 sm. Really a success.

  Barnabee's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Very good microphone - price / quality ratio"

  Characteristics

  Cardioid Dynamic Microphone "generalist"
  
  50Hz-17kHz
  
  No on / off
  
  Comes with carrying case and clamp

  Overall Opinion

  Used for 3 years, for voice (voice and text in theater). Besides, I used mostly SM58, widespread in theaters and others. AKG of mid-range. Sm 57.
  
  Péchu enough, reliable in all configs. Preferred to SM58, every time.
  
  Very good value for money, I confirm that other opinions have served me well.
  
  I do it again this election, yes.

  pierre7's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Good deal!"

  Characteristics

  A dynamic singing on stage.

  Overall Opinion

  For two or three years I've used it several times and all sorts of other dynamic mics, and I bought 3 or 4.
  
  
  
  In two words, one can say that much like the Beta 58, SM 58 and also,
  
  it outperforms. I could compare these two Shure and it seems that the Beta 58 has a "grain" a little better, but for the price and usage
  
  on stage is a good deal of time.
  
  Especially do not buy one instead of t.bone cheaper, he did not arrive
  
  ankle.
  
  
  
  I put 10/10 because I know of nothing better to under 150 €, for the cons
  
  Above there is a lot better.

  roland1961's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " EXCELLENT UNDER CONDITIONS"

  Characteristics

  Purchased for singing in a rock band Blues general and also for animation serves me at parties.

  Overall Opinion

  I have 3 in my possession, I often had occasion to try other mics.
  
  
  
  His first defect is his trademark, and obviously if it is not marked SHURE some rank it quickly to the rank stew of good to throw in the trash. I'm personally not work like this, I prefer to do my personal opinion
  
  His second small flaw is that, as its sensitivity needs adjusting gain a little high, he'd better be on foot as it is sensitive to handling, isolation of its carcass letting the noise .
  
  
  
  Finally, for the price, 3 year warranty and rendering the product do not hesitate a moment, the more it allows you to have own gear both visually and by using and which throw mics in the bin under the recycling I am willing to take them back. 're making me blush .....
