puh, my english...
you see inthe list with the miks, the points & the files from each mic, i start with the winner :)
the first 3 mic's are great, the next 3 are ok & the last 6 are cheap or bad...

i tested 14 mics a few days ago, the b2 is for my taste (& the most people who send me back her ratings) not a good choice.
if you wanna get a really cheap mic, try the
adk a-51s
its not like a neumann, but much better than the behringer b2.
an other cheap mic with a better sound as the b2 & a...
i order 2 mxl 603s (the should arrive in the next days) & im just a bit courios, how different the 2 mxl603-mics sound. i don't had the possibility to order a matched pair. this mics are "cheap chinese mics", who have a few mxl603 & can tell me, how different they sound from each & each other...
