Pyle Handheld Microphone Includes 15ft XLR Cable PDMIC58

Loved it great sound when plugged into a amp

I’ve used one of these on 2 gigs, so far. I’ve asked crowd people about the sound of the vocals. They said that it sounds just fine. I’ve recorded with this mic. It’s a decent sounding mic. It does sizzle a bit on the high end (sibilance), but that can be notched out with an EQ. The mic has a nice full sound. When I play gigs I have had people want to use the mic. This is the perfect solution for drunken karaoke style singers, who want to borrow the mic to sing to their neices. The mic looks sturdy, so even if they dropped it, I suspect that it would still work. If not, it’s an inexpensive mic. I’m not out a lot of money. If you’re a decent singer, your crowd won’t know the difference if you’re using one of these or a Shure SM58. The only concern that I have with these, is the concern that I have with all Chinese products: The conditions that the workers, who build this stuff, work under. From an ethical point of view, I might have been better off buying a Shure SM48. These are made in Mexico, I think. But, Shure has a reputation to maintian, and I would think that they would look after worker conditions.

Bonne sonorité

This microphone worked wonderfully for an outdoor wedding. Voice came through clear and without distortion. Great value! Nice product. Good job Pyle!

It’s a $15 mic, so it’s not really fair to compare it to a $100 mic, however there are a handful of other cheap mics in the $10-$20 range right here on amazon and I just happened to compare a bunch of them head to head. Let me preface this review by saying that mics will sound different under different circumstances, including the user, the use, the other equipment, and the location it’s used in. My findings are my own voice, talking and singing through two different PA (Bose L1 compact and Yamaha Stagepas) systems in my own house.

These are the mics I tried and compared:

#5 Weymic W500
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DGBDF4C/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

My least favorite. Lighweight feel, too much high end, lots of handling noise. This mic also would not lock onto my XLR cable (manufacturing defect)

#4 Weymic W501
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DGBUJU0/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0

I prefer this to the W500 but it still feels lighweight, and has lots of handling noise but it does have a better low end. This mic also would not lock onto my XLR cable (manufacturing defect)

#3 Pyle Pdmic58
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003GEBGA0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This was the first mic I bought of the bunch and before I compared it to any others I was really impressed for the price. It has a lot of gain, too much high end and not enough bottom. Build is heavier than the previous 2 and handling noise is less.

#2 Weymic W800
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CTOBDH8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2RIKQIMKURS0X

This mic has similar weight and handling noise to the Pyle, it actually seems to have more high end but also much more low end, it’s a very dynamic mic. Like the previous 3, It’s also a hot mic. It’s very clear for speaking and a nice singing mic for the right singer/song combination. It’s also the cheapest of the bunch, $10.50 at the time of this writing and honestly for the price it’s an absolute bargain.

#1 Behringher XM8500
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002KZAKS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is my favorite of the bunch. Sometimes I would sing into one of the other mics which are all hotter and more trebly than this one and think they sounded better (more clear) but overall this mic just has much better midrange that gives your voice a lot more body. It’s also the heaviest of the bunch, the least handling noise, and the most expensive at a whopping $19.99!

All 5 of these mics can be made to sound very similar to one another with a simple 2 band eq but I couldn’t get any of the mics to match the midrange of the Behringer. I’d bet with a 3 band or more you could really dial these all very close to one another. That being said much of your decision should be based on build quality, and handling noise in my opinion. For me the keepers are the Behringer and the W800. Between the two I like the W800 (with the treble dialed down a bit) for songs that call for a lower vocal range while still remaining clear, think Frank Sinatra & Elvis, also for speaking this mic has a great range and clarity. For rock songs (oasis, alice in chains, radiohead, GnR) I prefer the XM8500. If I could keep only one it would definitely be the Behringer.

This microphone has been to hell and back, I’ve been using it for about a year now with high pitched, low pitched, scream vocals – you name it. I’m in a band and the only issues I’ve had with it is the cable it frays and breaks and lowers the volume but get another mic cord and your set the paint is peeling the mic cages is warped from dropping and it works wonderfully.

La verdad que compré este micrófono para hacer karaoke en casa, conectado a mi interfaz de audio. Para estos fines, el micro está perfecto. Incluso si se le quiere dar un uso semi profesional, me parece que está muy bien.

Hace un par de semanas grabé voces en casa con él. Lo tenía a mano y no quería buscar e instalar uno de condensador que tengo…

La verdad el Pyle se comportó muy bien, en comparación con un SM58 el rendimiento es muy similar, un poco menos pesado, pero aún así no se siente de juguete. La rejilla que cubre la cápsula no parece ser tan resistente como la del SM58, pero para el uso que le doy, sólo es cuestión de tratarlo sin abusos.

Si necesito otro micro dinámico para varias voces en casa o en un espacio de ensayo propio, compraría otros iguales sin dudarlo, principalmente por el precio.
