All user reviews for the Behringer XM1800S

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.

Pack of 3 microphones cardioid dynamic type for voice and instrument

OVERALL OPINION

I use these mics for the sound of my acoustic drums (while waiting for better), I will test soon to singing and guitar amp. A Premire view, the microphones seem solid, quite heavy, we see that it's not toys.

For the drums, the sound is not bad, I used one for the bass drum and 2 overhead which take the rest.

What I can say is that the overall sound is okay plutt rglages After a few hours.

In particular the sound of TOMS and the Snare, which is simply amazing! I can not believe, attack the CC ets much banging and the sound of the toms are reproduced perfectly! 10 microphones for the unit is just crazy!

In contrast to the bass drum and cymbals is worse, but hey, it was worth the money.

So I think later use these only three microphones for my 3 toms seen that the rendering is excellent, and purchase additional microphones for the rest.

Even when I put 9 / 10 because the report is excellent qualitprix

*Microphones are very subjective. Some microphones that work for some brilliantly may be disastrous on others. It is therefore important to understand the context in which this review is written and take it with a grain of salt, like all reviews on microphones should be treated.*

Let's be realistic. I'm not even going to criticize the quality of Behringer just because I know it's a cheaper set of microphones. I'm going to simply go off of what I have observed as a performer, and it is this:

These microphones are not great, but they are cheap, reliable workhorses that will work in a total pinch. Other reviews do mention the mic was a bit too bright and with a lack of bass, but I find that while these are true, there is a crippling 'dullness' that plagues the tone.

It's nothing one would notice when listening to it on its own, but pair it up against the standard SM58 and you'll realize that even if the SM58 does have a bit of a reputation for being honky in the midrange and dull sometimes, the XM1800s makes the SM58 seem sharper than a katana.

It's like doing a mix of Feeling Good, accepting it, then going on YouTube and listening to any one of the other nine million famous people to ever do it. Then you realize your mix sounds absolutely dull! Oh. Wait. Sorry, I was just moaning about something I did a few months ago.

OVERALL OPINION

At any rate, the XM1800s is okay in a pinch, but I would never use it in the same show as any well-respected industry-accepting microphone like the Shure SM58. It would just sound embarrassing. So I'll say this: if you're going to use this microphone don't use it alongside anything better. As long as you adhere to this rule, the XM1800s can take you quite a long way.

But if you can get 3 mics for $30, you could be doing a LOT worse.

How strange I just recorded a demo with my band and I had just give my opinion on these microphones. And I read the previous review and I just confirmed. Served to save the battery. And I must say I was not expecting anything really. It was just to have a point! Finally they are doing very well. on the other hand not take it too well the snare (poc poc it sounds hollow) and the bass drum and floor tom dropped. Cons by other toms (10-14) and it gives the cymbals not bad at all. Then there is the better course. But not for 30 € the box 3 pickups ... So I take a 2nd box to cover all the cymbals + Charley

Updated February 2011:
The singer had forgotten his microphone so, I bought one of these micro behringer two bullets to replace an excellent Shure Beta 58. And although he did not blush behringer, it takes pretty good for the price. A bit brighter than the Shure (too high) and lack of bass, but it did the trick for troubleshooting.

OVERALL OPINION

I the boards for quite some time. And for now I must say it was using just a microphone to the animation for shows on an old sound. But they were used for 2 weekends to record our demo 7 titles. Excellent value for money.

Behringer XM1800S

Mics mostly for vocals and vocal recordings. However, they may agree to catch isolated type instruments or even snare toms. Clearly, microphones at low prices for good quality.

OVERALL OPINION

I have this set of 3 pickups for almost two years I think. Rather he take the road well, I must say. The sound is okay for a product at that price. Afterwards, if you want something more precise, it is better to turn to a more expensive microphone. But for once, have 3 microphones correct is pretty good in need.
Personally, I bought them in a panic on the eve of a "concert" in a mate (which have not occurred). The problem is there at the time I knew absolutely nothing in terms of gear and price range. So I naively bought this pack of micro music store in the corner. The seller tells me the price (120 €) and offers me a discount for not paying after all "that" 80 €. It's there now 2 or 3 months that I fall on the same lot this time about thirty euros. I'll admit that I could not help but shed a tear filled with hatred of rage against the seller who sold me these pickups for almost three times their price (especially since he wanted me to sell even more expensive! ).
In short, it was my little personal note. To return to the microphones themselves, I've used both live and repeat that it goes pretty well.
Before I had a Power Acoustics I do not even remember the model. I quickly sold because I very quickly acquired the Behringer (3 pickups were more than sufficient). I was able to quickly test a Shure SM 58 live (much better), and I just bought a Beta 58A (even better!) I quickly tested. I obviously prefer the Beta 58A (I also probably would table a notice in the coming months).
What I love about XM1800S is its robustness, the on / off button and versatility.
For cons, I found a major problem is a high sensitivity to feedback. But this may be due to the volume that is played with the group. When the drummer taps as a nag, others go up and I am quickly drowned ...
The quality / price is more than interesting. At a rate of about 10 € the microphone is more than a case is an offer!
I do not regret my choice if it is money that I put. These microphones have been of invaluable assistance on many occasions and it was two wonderful years of ups and downs that I learned to appreciate their company.
I recommend this pack to anyone who wants a set of microphones to repeat as for the live.
