    I've really come around on USB mics, and both of these mics sound better than my voice deserves. The lack of direct monitoring is definitely a drag. I own the NT1 5th Gen and the Ethos, and one big reason I almost always set up the Ethos is that I can use the Ethos without a pop filter. Meanwhile, the NT1 really needs a pop filter, and the system that Rode provides is kind of obtrusive and annoying. Either one is a great choice, and I always enjoy your videos. That Icon is so gorgeous, isn't it?

    Which one sounds better really seems to change according to how you have them positioned, the earthworks didn't sound as good at the beginning but in the rapid fire it sounded better than the road but I don't know they both sound good, both a very different sound but I think room and placement really does make a pretty big difference on microphones

    To me. The earthworks is very crisp and tight, more of a natural tone. The rode nt1 i feel has a bit more presence a bit more robust, but I feel a bit more sylibant and sensitive. I like both for different reasons. Hard choice. If I had to choose the earthworks.

    You've got extraordinary taste in microphones my friend. I started using the RE20 back in 1976 at KEZY 1190 AM in Anaheim, CA. The station was located about 2-3 miles from Disneyland. It was, and still is, my favorite mic to this day. I currently own a RE27 N/D which is the upgraded version of the RE20 with a better dynamic range, high and low pass filters, and a presence boost. The RE27 was gifted to me, so I can't complain, it's an amazing mic, but the RE20 holds a special place in my heart **tear comes to eye** LOL. I noticed that you also own the Shure MV7 and the Fifine K669D....also excellent mics. Outstanding and funny review bro. Great job. I'm glad I was able to meet you. Peace!

Yes, I have a problem LOL The RE20 is definitely the best choice as a favorite microphone. I agree with you. Great choice. I don't own a Earthworks ETHOS, but they are a cool mic. I love how they're an end-address design. The K669D was my favorite budget mic forever until I met the Zoom ZDM-1. Broadcast quality sound at a budget price. But damn, you own seven K669D's. Cool!

Nobody is going to buy this thing. Why? Because in the public mind, "Neewer = Dollar Store". Which is totally unfair. They make some of the best consumer gear in the world at the best prices. They can't be doing too badly, though. Neewer has sold out of these mics. I wonder if they'll ever make them again. (Or if OC White hit them with a patent violation..? That's possible, I guess.)

    Hey man,just want to say thank you! I bought this Blue Ember for $40 after watching your video and it’s absolutely fantastic. On your voice, it beats all FIFINE mics in your other videos, and is about the same as SE4100 and sounds better than Lewitt 240 and NT1 if you want radio sounds. And I am listening on Senneheiser 599, so I can tell. All this fifine ones have a high pitched grit on the high end and makes me cringe. Blue ember and SE4100, wow, so soothing!

    I see that you can connect a phone or tablet… when you connect the phone or tablet, if I shoot a video, will the mic that is running through this pick up the audio from my phone? And can I use the settings on the maonocaster to control the phone audio? Thanks in advance.

    The current SM7B, especially those made in China, will never be the same as those made many years ago. It's a waste of money. Not so long ago I did a comparison of SM7B. One was made 10 years ago and the other in 2022 and both sounded completely different. Of course, the older one sounded better. Probably Shure stopped caring about the quality of their products or they use lower quality components for production.

    Wow, this mic is amazing, I use to watch senpai gaming before it was even called that when Harris reviewed it i remember always wanting it but XLR setup was so expensive. Now not so much. And 100% I can see Morgan freeman using this microphone in a movie like 10 years ago. Honestly one of the few mics it really doesn’t need a pop filter or windscreen imo maybe varies on the speaker but wow the last mic you tried was the only one I liked that was better but $350 vs $40 cmon….CMON that’s incredible.

      @@levelupwithmikenewmanAlpha gaming omg 😅 I probably haven’t heard that name since my my sophomore year of high school, side curiosity, would an XLR to USB adapter work with with this microphone? Or would it hurt the quality to much, I do want to get an XLR setup as I love a lot of them are starting to come with software you can EQ your mic in live time. Sure audacity is great for voice overs, but I was never much a fan since you had to go back set and listen, and change every single clip, maybe I was dumb and did it the worst way possible (experiments for middle school projects) but I love OBS for that, nothing special but the bare minimum EQing has made my headset mic sound so much better for live streams, would I be able to do that until I can afford the rest of the setup? Or would the audio be tinnie and or potentially not work? Also when I say XLR to usb adapter I don’t mean like the shure mv2xu or whatever full on cable for like $15-$20? I seen someone say “why would I want to buy a mic but it doesn’t come with a usb cable, I have to buy an XLR to usb adapter I’m just not getting it” that’s fine and all but this mic is amazing and use to be very expensive suit yourself pal but if I get 8/10 mic quality from a $50 purchase than $50 is $50 investment at that point.

      for my voice, If I wanted the best possible audio quality and be willing to do whatever it takes negate the flaws, its Blue Ember (proper mic placement, ensuring I stay 2-4 inches from the mic). If I needed great audio without worrying about any accidental plosives from being SO close...or simply prefer to have a little space between me and the mic (more than 4 inches) it's PM500 (in my opinion!)

      Hey Clay, My opinion is NO. Blue has some amazing and literally world class mics. As Mike said, this is a move that probably marks the end for this model. ALSO, many of the current mics, the spark SL, the bluebird SL, are cheaper versions of the original IMHO. The "SL" versions are not as good as the OG versions.
