Speaking as a layman I reckon the choice depends on the background noise of your environment. I agree with condensers sounding brighter. I've noticed this when mucking around with my Behringer B2-Pro, for example; Probably not a good idea in a non sound-treated room like mine. I tend to prefer Dynamics for this reason (and the proximity effect helps me sound like I've got a pair😂). Great video👍
My general rule when it comes it microphone placement is that I put 4 fingers between my microphone and my mouth. That way it isn't too close but it isn't too far away. Right now I have a dynamic microphone which is the Podmic but soon I am getting the XDM-50 so I am looking forward to seeing how both make my voice sound.
i find it rather odd that the classification for these mic types is sort of reverse of the implication of the definitions. condense: make (something) denser or *more concentrated* - applying this sound makes me think it keeps a lower audio detection range. dynamic: (of a process or system) characterized by *constant change*, activity, or progress - applying this to sound makes me think it would be adjusted for wider detection so as to keep the speaker heard if they move away. yet its the opposite😵
I think what Røde X is doing is very cool, HOWEVER... what I would really need before just purchasing your mics, is an audio interface to control UNIFY, is this something RØDE X has in the making? :)

Please add FX to Unify soon.
My room has not many sounds, but it is not a studio, so I prefer dynamic (XDM-100). I am a small creator, but I hope buy this microphone someday.
Thanks for the breakdown!
