Title: A Decent Mic for live show
Product review: I play with several traveling Country / Bluegrass Bands depending on the time of year. 25 or 30 mics between them of various brands, models and age.With out a Doubt the Shure SM58 is the Gold Standard for Live Performing. This being said the Behringer XM8500 Holds it's own.If the SM58's are already Claimed, I reach for the XM8500 next. Good warm mellow sound, Not prone to Feed Back. It works best on a Stand or holder. But if you need to hold it, It's still pretty quiet with regard to handling Noise. XM8500's seem quite durable, I have yet to see one fail. If you choose to upgrade to SM58's in the future, I assure you that you will Keep your old XM8500's around, They are just too good to get rid of. They can be depended on to do their Job, So you can do yours.
