That $50 wireless mic really surprised me. I know it's not going to surpass the Rode but it's a very nice option. Great video and comparison.

I know right? I bought it on sale for even cheaper but in a pinch, very usable. And also, the noise suppression does mean you can hear what someone's trying to say (even if it's like you're under water)

[@simndsam]

Rode sounds much more natural even with there are background noises. Your voice sounds clearer than the 50 dollar one

[@RaffyHalim]

Thanks for the feedback!
Been using the cheaper one mainly because of ease of use but a few have said that I should switch over

[@simndsam]

Yeah defo switch to the rode!

[@RaffyHalim]

@simndsam will be testing out another brand soon that's agreed to send me their new mic. Hopefully comes in the next month 🤞
