I think that maybe people don't want to give out that much money for dynamic mics. Also, they often have long life-spans, so there aren't so many people purchasing the more expensive models. SE are now selling a lot of dynamics for live use, competing with Shure and Sennheiser for that market, but for the most part, they keep their prices down. Not many companies try to play in the sub 1K field for a dynamic - the RE20 and MD441 are two of the only contenders, and given that there are so many quite high quality condensers for a cheap price, I totally understand why.


For the most part, condensers have a reputation as being superior (whether that is true or not), so except for on-stage use, they are usually taking precedent. The Beyerdynamic M-380 seems like a surprise though, especially as the company have reissued a bunch of mics. I know plenty of people who really like this mic for kick or bass.
