All user reviews for the Behringer XM1800S

Dynamic mic for live speech or vocal applications.

OVERALL OPINION

When the first one came out, a friend of mine who does sound for big conferences put several on stage and asked me what I thought about them. We found them quite all right.

So I bought it and have used for several years the 3 different Behringer dynamic mics (XM8500, XM2000S and XM1800S) as they were made available.

To my ear, there's no difference between these 3 mics. They all have the same frequency response curve.

I have personally never liked the sound of the Shure SM58 and I prefer the Behringers.

You will certainly not get the same durability as with Shure. Although...
From my 8 Behringer dynamic mics, 2 have had problems with the capsule.
In one of them, both cables were damaged and the mic ended up in the trash can (together with an SM58).
The other one sounded like a baby rattle. A bit of cyanocrylate to glue the grille that protects the grille and all was good again.

Given their price, it would be a pity not to take advantage of it.

I then switched to a Shure Beta58, and then a Beta87. The difference is clear, but it costs from 10 to 20 times more.

Set of three dynamic microphones for vocals with on/off switch.
They come together with mic clips inside a padded plastic case.

OVERALL OPINION

Very practical set of mics you can get very cheap at Thomann.

I've used them for 7 months with a blues-rock group (in the "shout as loud as you can" style, so clarity and perfection are not the main priority).

No issues so far: No cut-offs, nor feedbacks, neither in rehearsal rooms nor in concert halls (mainly small halls with the speakers relatively near).

The manufacturing quality and packaging are more than fine, considering the price.

With such a price there's probably no other product that can even compete with them! That said, I still have to see how they age, because you can't really tell after only 7 months. But that's not too bad: You get 3 mics in the box and for less than what you'd pay for only one of any other brand!

This set is perfect when you are on a budget and need extra mics, to start out or for vocal styles that don't need too much precision!

Set of 3 dynamic mics for vocals (but only that)

OVERALL OPINION

I've had this mics for several years. Considering their price, the natural prejudice is to think they are crap.
When I used a "real" mic (Neumann KMS105) that costs $650 and gets accolades from everyone here, I was surprised (stunned) to realize that the poor Berhinger that costs $15 a piece can stand up and is even better than the Neumann.

I am not a pro nor an engineer, but my ears tell me that these Behringer are awesome and their value for money is jaw-dropping. I haven't been able to check whether it creates feedback on stage.

What did I learn from this? I'll pass on the Neumann and take "precious" care of my Behringer.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this pack of three microphones for three years now. I tried the akg, shure of the APPEX of Rondson of ir ....

To use that I made are sufficient. I tend not to even longer use my old 58 sm, I use two microphones prfre same for duets songs with my wife, more guitar piano and violin, to quit a treatment of voice. I prfre for making voice near. against atmosphere by not too many too fast feedback not easily usable. I acqurir ending for the capacitor of the same brand for 58 euros the pair to take the children's choirs with whom I work, I dumiste and the celebrations of the schools parents n'coutent not always work for their children ......


In my view the report quality price is unbeatable. Besides, I am sci by that mark, I who have no budget for the high end, I have the same brand amp, two speakers and a 200W TBOX table mix b. facing the gear we re insufficient, cutter in FTEs to school, I had to invest a minimum so that the children's choirs are highlighted and the guitar lctro get along.

I think I Rasht if needed, solid, cheap and good.

Micro dynamic multi-use voice / instrument, switch on / off, XLR. Pack of 3 spices (45 euros) will box with 3 clips.
Basic, solid, correct finish.
Behringer is known for making clones of good quality price ratio, it is.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought for 15 days. I started at home studio recently, to have fun during the long winter evenings. Multi-instrumentalist, I'm not pro and my work will never be broadcast on the radio, so I do not want the super top, just the right gear right price. In dpart, I wanted one for XM2000 complter my microphone singing (Behringer XM8500) out of stock but after I took this pack. I also have an SM57 that I use from heel to judge the result.
I tried taking acoustic guitar amp guitar, singing and making battery. A little less engaging than the 8500 song, but should not quibble, my studio (Zoom MRS-2) does not really make the difference, except to make two identical tracks. In this config, the SM57 will not give any more (I dare not say anything), anything for the snare and the amp makes it good.
In short, three microphones for the price ... say anything. It's been 12 microphones for the price of a Shure. The pros do not care but the musicians in the evening as I apprcient.
Note: For me, it's 9 / 10 given the price and rsultat sharp but users will probably find fault with.

Without being micro studio or scne the XM1800S S trs well suited for basic uses. Their use must be oriented plutt singing or speech, but not for instruments. Be careful, the wind noise for use or collection outdoor singer a bit noisy filter "anti pops" trs not effective.

OVERALL OPINION

By collection's outdoor show at cons in case of rain, or with small groups of friendly hardware (tap on the head of the microphone with your hands.) You can always say that you do not risk the 50 uros rating as the set of 3.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben is doing very well the job. Same kind as the XM8500 (I too), I was fine to be very careful record and all, are very similar. The only diffrence: a greater propensity to give the feedback, its a very very very slightly more stock (but they must hear the voice only to realize it) and look much less "pro".

M'enfin is still a matter completely unbeatable: three micro valid in a suitcase for 30 ... the ideal solution for choirs or RPET. It is solid.

PS note would recess into account the price. I RPET: the microphone 10 and a third of briefcase (albeit with a third suitcase is not going away, but to exact a division). I've had more expensive AKG (like 50 ... ok it's not death, but we talk about between micro-level) and much more ... mitteux

Micro mixed price fisher-price quality INTERESTED.

Note that it is much heavier and stronger than what he made me feel like on the picture (in fact mtal and not plastic as you might think)

OVERALL OPINION

I did a lot of radio studio microphones therefore quite expensive, that the sounds a bit "crounch", cardboard, even if I compare the 8500 XM has a more pro and more complete. For against, 3 for the price of a XM8500, with an acceptable sound reminds me of that of microphones 75-100 (for a single) is a bargain ...

Note that I used for backvocals death (in rptitions course, not scne) and that although the assault rsiste trs.

They are primarily dynamic mics for vocals.
It seem pretty solid.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for several months and I must say I am very impressed because my group and did not have many months budjet for microphones and it was believed that these microphones gave her a not so good but we were very surprised because the sound is very clear voice is really impressive. Of course it's not as though a sm58 but it holds the road well!
+ What I like is obviously the price for the sound quality is very good value for money, there's nothing unpleasant about these mics, I advise those looking for a good sound for a price not high (especially that there are 3 clips and carrying case).
I would do without hesitation that choice

- Purchase for non-computer music: office use; SPECIFICATIONS dictates more vocal.
not need microphones singing ... say that I was looking for multimedia microphones ...

OVERALL OPINION

- Given the use I make voice recognition or I have to say that these mics I was not at all satisfied.
- The rate of speech recognition which is under pro Dragon Naturally Speaking on the order of 95% with a headset Andra (found in France you have to come to the United States or finding an alternative solution) drops consider ably with an error rate that advanced significantly

So I set out my LPs traditional song because I could not work with srieusement pack too many errors in dictated speech.

Dynamic microphones
known for singing but ...
€ 30 3 mics + 3 + clips carrying case with foam protection

OVERALL OPINION

They are used for a year and a few months ... At the beginning they were buying to have a fleet of micro suffiant because we had an SM 58 microphone and another which I do not even know the brand, which delivers bcp too "pop" at each new word!
It has therefore directed towards this pack Behringer saw the lowest price, without really knowing what would be the quality or the rendering of these mics ... The truth, we were amazed. rendering of the voice and really acceptable, even better, our singer has a small voice, which requires pushing the amp loud enough to cover the battery and the instrument with the shure, but his voice is clear impeccable, as if a preamp was connected to it ...
I score above microphone singing but ... but not only, it was used for the recovery of instruments for the models because no budget to invest in micro ADEQUATE ... New surprise, the record is more than satisfactory for both guitars, basses, and for the battery!

In short, at 30 € uros the three most micro clamps over suitcase, it's really interesting.
We made this choice and we do not regret it at all! we do it again without problems!

Dynamic cardioid microphones for voice dubbing or amp. Switch. Carrying quilts. Chinese-made good sr. 34 euros (excluding shipping) in Thomman friend.

OVERALL OPINION

Utiliss by my group for two RPTES. The pickups are quite heavy and look solid.

On our small sound system, the XM1800S sound as good as my Shure PG58. The momentum seems lgrement suprieure but less restore the mdiums and treble. In fact the sound of ceremonial XM1800S trs neutral, a bit flat. Advantage: trs low tendency to feedback.
Essays also in concert (with a sound system of the same brand): trs well. Much better than the Shure PG48 and CN Previous group.

Obviously this is not a SM58. If one is demanding it is better to XM1800S the choirs Reserved. But for concerts or RPTES o o moves and has the hardware suffer these mics are excellent. It is the middle range of Shure (such PG58, PG48 and better than) the price of three low-end microphones trs. In my opinion the quality-price ratio is unbeatable

PS: the microphones still alive four years APRS trs abuse (punk concerts flat out). 1 hit by a collgue indlicat (a fan of Behringer?) And two other cabosss but always attack.

If c'tait again? Although sr!

Robust dynamic microphone, on / off switch

OVERALL OPINION

Use for 3 years not for the song (I have no opinion on this point, merely the studio with static) but for the resumption of toms, I needed an emergency three microphones for Cheap a little session before investing in "better."

Premire remark, excellent output suprieur a sm57.
Sound: I or ears or dglingues is a trick. Toms with dynamic sound and natural harmonics are the chopper Submitted beautiful and well (I love when a "rsons" Fawn mastery, I dtest sound "poc ") Feelings General for neutrality.

Trs relevant toms on 10 14 '. From 16 ', go on plutt ddi bassdrum microphone (kick drum mic or static).

Multiple records effectus. Amme a drummer's position E604 in his "box" of a cot XM1800S. The SM57 is a drag on high The definition of the medium but dropped the case on the bottom mdium and serious. It's really impressive in terms of price. If so, try and see (with good Obviously pramplis).

Conclusion? I gave up buying other microphones toms, as j'apprcie their sound.

Purchased 30 Euros with three claws and the briefcase, they are unbeatable 10 euros per pice.

Edict of 09/08/09: back from a recording session, again in test, they have to t prfrs sm57, more medium and a bit "hard". The Berhinger deliver sound "acoustic" means more skin vibrate qu'tre type. The sound is round and harmonics out trs well (see be too low for sure). The output level is excellent and they are trs "dynamic". In short, with pramplis of quality I do not see competition (SM57, E604 ...) for a natural sound, at least DPA ... I assume, that the microphone 10 euros, you can call me a fool. Made a blind test ...

Micro ddi singing, animation (seminars, karaoke.
Directivity super-cardioid to avoid transplanting the sounds coming from the rear.
An on / off switch on the body.
Body metal. Plastic clip with thread but mtal rducteur seemed fragile plastic (note the thread).
Purchased in hard case 3 to 39 port included.

OVERALL OPINION

I use them for less than a week but it is enough to realize that the case is excellent! I have compared my M-Audio Solaris (micro studio), the singer of my SM58 and PG58 we used the animation.
At this price, one would expect of toys ... it is nothing. These microphones are generally neutral with a lightweight bass boost makes everything enjoyable. Their dynamic is impressive for a product of this price. Not quite an SM58 but better than the PG48 and 58 costing four times as much! Utiliss to dub the choirs, or as a vocal microphone booster is frankly well. Before a guitar amp, it's okay too trs. XM1800S These are not too sensitive to feedback and being protected properly against the "plops". I will not speculate on their three or four APRS Resistors falls on the floor but ... In fact it is the type of micro "do everything" the essential range of amateur band but srieux. A 13 euro pice, no reason to deprive yourself.
I regret not even have bought before.
