I gotta tell ya, I love these things. (Uh-oh, I hear another Behringer
debate coming...) I got the things from Musician's Friend at 3 for
$60., so I bought a total of 12. I A/Bed them with an SM58. Lo and
behold, very competitive sound, and even a slight boost in crispness
from the XM8500. Rugged, with case and clip. And about 1/5 the price of
the SM58. And disposable, if need be.
