In fact, if I didnt know a large was a large, Id think it was a medium size. I compared several mics without EQ or other processing, but when you add the EQ and compression that is typical in live sound environments, and consider that the PA and the room probably have anything but a flat response, the sound of a mic is going to be totally different. Son la mejor relación precio/beneficio. Although the XM4 are made from plastic, the build quality on this is amazing, and I expect them to last. ? What isn?t to love ? Sturdy , dummy proof to setup, holds my size 14 shoes I was looking to replace a set of Senheiser headphones Id had for quite some years. I ended up keeping these hoping they would stretch out more over time. He was just too swollen. LOL Anyway, works like a charm. Please keep making solid products for the people.
