It’s an excellent microphone. I bought 6 for podcast use, 12€ a piece which is crazy cheap really. The sound is excellent, it looks good, it feels expensive in the hands. For the plosives, the best trick I found is to let some air between the grill and the foam windscreen. Now I don’t have any plosives, but working with kids they have a tendency to touch everything they can, I need to replace the windscreen a lot. I might try the mod Caleb from DSLR video shooter created where he basically transform it into an SM7B. Great video thanks ! Have fun with it !
Yeah the price is honestly crazy given its performance and build quality. Did not know about the Caleb mod, sounds really interesting! Thanks for sharing the plosives trick and your time!

The internal Mac microphone sounds really good.
Pretty impressive indeed
Hey can you make a video on how you would EQ the xm8500 mic?
