Behringer Dynamic Microphone (SL 85S) Review / Test (Compared to XM8500, BA85A, SM58) HD

Today I review a $20 budget handheld dynamic microphone from Behringer, the SL85S. This microphone is built well, it’s affordable, and comes with a nice case. For many use cases, it’s tolerable, but definitely not my first choice. I would most likely go for the XM8500 or BA85A from Behringer instead.
