Today we check out the $20 wonderchild (supposedly), the internet seems to be raving about the Behringer XM8500, but how good could a mic this cheap actually be? Well to be honest, shockingly good. We'll compare it to the true budget king (in my opinion) the Shure SM57, and see how much less you get for your $20.
