What's the best budget XLR microphone? In my opinion, it's the Behringer Ultravoice XM8500 Dynamic Cardioid Vocal Microphone. It's also the best cheap dynamic microphone out there that competes with the Shure SM-58 and Sennheiser e835 for 1/5 the price.

For $20, the XM8500 really is an incredible microphone. I’m not a fan of judging solely based on technical specs (there are plenty of other blogs and videos for that). The fact is, the XM8500 sounds fantastic, it’s all-metal construction, very solid, and comes with a case and standard mic clip. I really think it's the best cheap XLR microphone. I own a Sennheiser e835 ($100 dynamic mic, similar to the Shure SM-58), and, frankly, there’s almost no obvious difference in sound quality between the e835 and the XM8500. Sure, if you have pro-level headphones or studio monitors and your career revolves around audio engineering, you’ll notice some differences. But for the average person listening on common earbuds or through a smartphone’s speaker, the XM8500 is way more than sufficient!
Keep in mind, this is a dynamic XLR microphone, meaning, while it doesn’t require any external power source like condenser mics, it still requires a 3-pin XLR connection to function. This cannot be used directly with a PC without an XLR to USB adapter, and those, I’ve read, are spotty, though I’ve never tried one. However, if you’re looking for the best budget podcast mic and you already own a Zoom H4N, H5, H6, or similar audio recorder with XLR inputs, then the Behringer XM8500 will provide you with very nice sound quality.
This video is a no-nonsense Behringer XM8500 test and I hope that the audio you hear here will be enough for you to decide on whether to purchase this mic for yourself. If you do, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
