Which of these microphones is right for you?

[@TiagoNugentComposer]

The C-80 sound incredible on the sax! Just great for that breathy sound.

[@SalComuna]

They sound fantastic. Thanks for the samples!

[@Khofa]

I wanted to hear vocals on the Sony c-80

[@partycle352]

Wow, some pipes on that vocalist! Phew!

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Nice & Thanks :)

[@BandH]

Thanks for watching (:

[@drewbarka833]

Between the Sony C80 and Shure SM7B, which one do you recommend for a home studio and raw acoustics?

[@BandH]

If you are looking to capture subtle nuance and detail in your vocals and acoustic instruments, the SONY C-80 would be the better choice. But ultimately, the choice will depend upon the specific instruments, the unique qualities of the singer's vocals, and personal preference. >Mark

@@BandH It would only be to record some nasal male vocals, acoustic guitar and electric guitar in an untreated room. Would the Sony C80 be more recommended then?

[@BlipBlopStudio]

@@yousendjoker8176 I'd say go for the SM7B - or better, treat the room instead ;) While the C-80 may be more detailed and probably a better sounding mic on many sources, the thing that makes the SM7B a great option is that it rejects a LOT of room sound compared to other mics, especially condensors.
