Behringer ULTRAVOICE XM1800S 3 Dynamic Cardioid Vocal and Instrument Microphones (Set of 3)

Really good quality, the sound is good and they work well with our equipment.

The microphones arrived pretty promptly & I was impressed by the quality of their finish. The outer aluminium casing is nice & solid as is the grille; which has wind & breath reduction fabric on the inside to help get rid of those plosives,ect. I tried a vocal test first & I was very happy with the clarity of the tone. If you bring the microphone closer to you it increases the bass response which sounded nice. I then tried recording percussion which was fine, but not quite as good as my MXL mike, but clean & clear none the less. It did very well when I miked up a practice amp that I use for recording & produced a lovely tone for my guitar. I even tried recording in stereo with a pair of the mikes & that was good as well. I notice that several reviewers have compared them to Shure SM58's & 57's. I own a Shure pg56 for drum recording & percussion & personally feel the Shure is a little better, but not by much. I think other manufacturers are starting to catch up. You really can't go wrong with these for the money; especially if put through a mixer. Ideal for any home recording studio or band type use. I would recommend these to other people.

I bought this set about a year ago for miking up guitar cabs in rehearsals. They work well, and for the price are very good. They're still working, which is a good sign! I imagine that the frequency response is not going to be as good as (say) a Shure SM58, but for the basic job I bought them for, they're very good. I won't be using them for vocals or miking acoustic guitars. They come in a plastic case with their own stand clips (which I haven't needed to use yet). The only quibble is that the built-in on-off switch doesn't feel very positive, so could slide back into the off position. If this happens, I'd just tape them up. Otherwise, a good choice!

These are great quality, crisp sound, sturdy microphones that feel good in hand, look great and sleek, come in a nice convenient padded case with the holders for a mic stand too. Would definitely recommend these

Actually bloody good value for money they sound really good I'm using them to mic up some guitars and other acoustic stuff and they sound great well worth a purchase for a wee home studio

I bought a set of three for miking up drums and guitar amps and general donkey work in my studio, proving themselves as very capable bits of gear. I then tried one as a back up vocal mike at a gig. They were going up against Shures both times and proved themselves equal or better than the far more expensive and "sacred" Shure boys. The harmony vocals were much clearer and louder than the Shure being used by the lead vocalist at comparable P.A. settings. I now use these exclusively both live and in the studio. I haven't done in depth comparisons with complex analytical gear but my ears tell me what I want to know. They sound great. The build is excellent; even the case is sturdy and practical. Only time will tell as to the longevity of these mikes but so far I can thoroughly recommend them. Don't think you're just getting a cheap and cheerful back-up here. These are seriously good mikes and at an unbelievable price! I have even supplied two to local pubs where I sometimes run quiz nights and they work brilliantly and take some knocking about. I now have two sets for my own use. At this price

This is the second time that I've purchased this product, and while still superb value, they are not as good quality as the 3-pack I purchased a decade ago. There casing is different, and as a result it produces higher amounts of handling noise. The element is more susceptible to 'plosives' and the on/off switch is of lower quality to the earlier variant. Regardless, you still get three mics in a nice storage case along with three mic clips. If you're just starting out doing podcasting, for example, they are great to use with guests, just make sure you invest in some foam windshields (which are plentiful on Amazon, best to search for SM58 compatible windshields, they will fit) If this is the first time you're buying this item, then you won't be disappointed, but for anyone who knew this item of old, things have changed and not for the better...

This review is written for a two year-old's brain. Any problems with the language or grammar used can be directed to the North Pole. Prepare for rant against idiots. :) These mics are utterly amazing for the price. I was looking at getting a mic or two for my DJ setup when I came across these and took my chances. Unlike some people on here, I had noticed that they are NOT WIRELESS. I'm reading people's reviews saying: "Thought these were wireless, disappointed, 1 star" Don't rate them down because of your idiocy! They are really good quality. Obviously they are not wireless, Behringer aren't Citronic!!!! No company ever would sell 3 wireless mics with no visible receiver for £30!! If you cannot see a receiver (A BIG BLACK BOX WITH A STICK IN IT) then it's not wireless. These mics are not made as a toy, nor made for wireless capability and YOU DO NEED XLR (THE 3 PIN CONNECTOR ON THE BOTTOM OF EVERY MIC EVER THAT ISN'T MADE FOR A TWO YEAR OLD OR AN ADULT WHO THINKS LIKE ONE) CABLES AS THERE AREN'T ANY IN THE PACKING DESCRIPTION, THE DESCRIPTION OR THE PRODUCT IMAGE. Rant over. These mics are perfect for live work, but wouldn't use them for studio work. The sound is a bit metallic but nothing that an EQ can't fix!

I had to write a quite review for these. I am a semi-pro musician, which means I get paid to play but I don't make my whole living making music alone. I bought these because I am doing a gig that needed mics with on/off switches on them and the Shure SM58s we were using didn't have them. While Shure does make a version of the 58 with an on/off switch, it would be quite pricy for me to invest in three of them. I did a little research and wanted something that came in a case with three vocal mics with on/off switches on them. Several companies had packages that came close, but it was this Behringer package that ticked all the boxes. It also happened to be the most affordable. I assumed the mics would be okay given the low low price of the package, but much to my surprise these sounded better than the 58s! I wasn't the only one who thought so; my other vocalist said the mic was clearer than the 58 was and that she didn't have to sing as loud to be heard. So there you have it. If you need three mics with on/off switches that come in a nice case then do not hesitate to get this. Dare I say if you want to step up from an SM58 sound wise get these as well. The only thing I can't comment on is durability and reliability. The thing about SM58s is they last forever. The one I am comparing this mic to has been with me since the 80s. Will these still be working in 20 or 30 years? Will these withstand abuse on the road? I honestly can't say, but I would not be surprised if they did. I also would not be surprised if they did not and died after some time or a good drop. However, for this price, I am okay with that. If they last a few years and then die, I may buy another set or see what else is available at the time. All I can say is this is a very convenient package for someone trying to outfit a band with several vocalists who is on a budget. To sum up, reliability is anybody's guess, but the sound quality is not an issue with this package.

I now realise the importance of an honest review. I made this purchase based on customer reviews! These are top quality mics, crystal clear and beautiful. I’m not a technical person but wanted something for my choir and this piece didn’t disappoint. Really glad with this purchase.

Sounds great.

Good sound clarity

Enfin des micros qui tiennent la route! A prix raisonnable ! Merci!
