zZounds Gear Experts Say...
The Behringer B-2 is a condenser microphone that features a selectable cardioid, omnidirectional or figure-8 pickup pattern and a low-cut filter.
Overview
The B-2 Pro is a high-performance dual-diaphragm studio condenser microphone. Vocalists and recording studio owners will be amazed by its uncompromising audio performance and features such as the additional low cut filter. The B-2 Pro provides a slightly pronounced 12 kHz range, producing the kind of "presence" that often eliminates the need for high-frequency EQing that would raise the overall noise floor. The B-2 Pro provides that much-desired transparency that can only be found on high-end large-diaphragm condenser mics. Key features include selectable cardioid, omnidirectional or figure-8 pickup pattern. The low-cut filter removes distracting low-frequency sounds, and built-in shielding minimizes high-frequency interference. A 10 dB attenuator can be used with high volume signal sources. The microphone is delivered in a rugged hard case with a suspension mount and a windscreen.

"Is there a better mic for the money? I doubt it..."
Again, for the money, I don't know of too many comparable mics. These price point microphone wars are doing a lot of good for the pro-sumer and home studio buffs these days; I think the B2 Pro is right there at the top.
Also, I encourage anyone reading this review to take note of the "Overall User Ratings" at the top of this list. Look at the ratings for all the various categories EXCEPT "Overall" Those 7 categories average out to 9.25+ at the time of my writing this review. So, why is it that the "Overall" rating for this mic is only 7/10 stars? That makes zero sense, but what does is purchasing this mic if you need a solid, sensitive and adaptable microphone for pro-sumer use.
Sound
Maybe not 9/10 stars across the spectrum of microphones, but for the price...yeah, 9/10.
Features
Came with shock mount and windscreen in a sturdy case. On-mic options are great for setting up according to environment and conditions.
Ease of Use
Pie...or cake, depending. Easy as, anyway...
Quality
Well made and sturdy for me.
Value
For the money...definitely worth it. Several times over...

The Wow Factor
Classy, smooth, sophisticated-looking in its shock mount. Only 9/10 because it's not black...
