Title: Perfect for my needs.
Product review: I've owned three Behringer XM8500's for a couple of years now and am very happy with them. I use them exclusively for live sound reinforcement with a small jazz band and they're perfectly suited for my purpose. They compare very well with Shure SM58's, both in sound quality and in "heft" (the XM8500 doesn't feel like an inexpensive microphone).I will grant that the Shure SM58 is an excellent, tried-and-true microphone that is well known for its durability, but I simply can't justify paying $100 each for an SM58 when the Behringer XM8500 does the job just as well. For the price of one Shure SM58, I can buy four XM8500's.
