Behringer
XM8500 Microphone
In the world of microphones, most things under fifty dollars sound like you’re singing into a damp sock. The Behringer XM8500 is the exception. For the price of two lukewarm beers, you get a dynamic mic that delivers a surprisingly clear, usable sound. Is it a vintage Neumann? Absolutely not. But if you need something reliable for recording vocals or capturing a guitar cabinet without sacrificing your weekend budget, this thing is a dark horse contender. It handles pressure and doesn't sound brittle or muddy. It’s competent, no-nonsense gear that just works. Stop overspending, start making noise.
