"EXCELLENT!!!!"

Feature:
Excellent features. It comes with a good sturdy shockmount and a really ugly but effective windscreen and the mic has selectable sound patterns and stuff its really awesome.

Quality:
Excellent quality. The shock mount was well made and sturdy, the mic itself was perfect. Tightly connected and everything, very sturdy and no blemishes. Its quite heavy but its a brilliant product.

Value:
If i lost it, i'd definitley buy another.

Desirability:
I LOVE IT!!! It has a sexy light gold colour which i love!

Sound:
Really good crisp sound! It sounds almost like a professional's!!! I loved it, it really brings out the warmth and its really sensitive so it picks up all the sounds that you want in your recording :)And its ultra quiet so i hardly have to remove any noise

Support:
Didnt even need it :)

Overall:
Its an excellent condensor at the cost of only $150!

"You will not be sending these back!!"

Feature:
Love the 10db drop switch so you can use such a sensitive and detailed mic to record loud instruments

Value:
Can't beat it.

Sound:
I get complements constantly about my computer recording because of this mic. I have a B1 and B2. I use them for vocals, classic guitar, drums and miking guitar amps, everything. Nothing else comes close that I have tried in the $100 to $500 price range. Mediocre singers, male and female shine with vocal detail that make them sound far more professional than they do with other mics. The sound is brilliant, detailed, sensitive and balanced affording every subtle nuance. I love them. I will buy one or two more. Nothing else will do now that I have heard this level of quality. Even with recording drum kits, the timbre is far more full, open and alive than with typical drum mics. Until now only well financed studios could afford this quality so everyone got use to settling for less. I strongly suggest you hear them. You will not send them back!!

Support:
I have had some minor problems with other Behringer products. Got right through on the phone, e-mailed me an RMA # and address where to send it for repair. Persinally I found their srevice to be absolutely fine.

Overall:
Read 'Sound' review above.

"Best value, and great quality."

Feature:
We were running the initial test and must have said "can you bielieve that this thing cost less than a grand!" about 30 times. I have no idea how they can manufacture this for the price, lets thank them for doing it.

Quality:
great.

Value:
I wish I could give them a rating of 15 on this topic.

Desirability:
Just buy it. Buy one and try it, you will want two.

Sound:
It is clear, very musical, and with the three switches very - very versital. If you are looking for a serious mic this is the one. We use it for everything from loud blues bands to a pipe organ and solo acoustic instrumentation and this mic does a great job on all of them.

Support:
Never had to use thier service.

Overall:
We think this will be the mic we choose for our next album recording.

"IT RULES!!!"

Quality:
Built to last, I dropped it once already and it still works perfectly. Looks great too!

Value:
A must have for any home recording project or small studio on a budget.

Sound:
This thing sounds awesome, especially for the price. My band is is using it to record an album. Sounds great for vocals, acoustic guitar, and placed in front of the drumset!

Support:
I have asked Behringer questions about other products through email and they never answered me. So I'm not sure, though if you call them, I'm sure they would be helpful.
