Value For Money : Excellent
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 ...
