I needed a couple of general purpose condensors to have available so I bought a pair of the B-5 mics. They looked ok and I did a quick sound check and they were working so in the bag they went. The first time I used them I put them up against my Neumann KM184 just to see how they would do. Amazing (for the price). Would I trade my Neumanns for them, NO WAY! Would I buy another pair, YES.

The Behringer B-5 Condenser Mic is a great option for live sound and recording! I've used it for vocals and guitar and it sounds amazing, just make sure you're not cranking up the volume to insane levels or you will get feedback. All in all a sweet piece of equipment!

I bought a few of these when I first tried recording my drum kit and was on a very small budget. They worked great as overheads on the snare/toms/cymbals. Not as good on the bass drums (not designed to be), but still a passable sound.

I now have a good set of drum mics, with the Behringers set as overhead/ambient, which sounds GREAT (and is much more what the B-5s were designed to handle). What I'm trying to say is, if you're just starting out or money is tight, Behringer mics are a great way to go.

It works, but not well

I own one and it is not usable live for micing guitars. it will feedback instantly. It works for recording but not great in any way. I also own an sm81 which blows it away in every respect. If you can, wait save some money and stay away from Behringer gear. I have tried their guitars, mics, and a full P.a. system and they are all subpar.

I used teh Behringer B-5 mics for my congas in live venues and found them to be disappointing. During sound checks they are fine, but once the groove starts, they cannot push the sound. The sound guy has me maxed out, and can barely get me in the mains w/the rest of the band. I've used them w/different boards and sound dudes so this isn't an equipment problem or a bonehead sound guy. For the price I guess I can't complain, but if you're playing percussions live I would stick w/ the Audix D2/D5 setup. It is worth every penny.
