XLR mode is totally serviceable. Bargain buy for sure at that price. Whoah! USB - what happened?? Actually, kind of interesting sounding if you are looking for a special effects vibe. Loved how you channeled the spirit of Whitney Houston.
@@ObscureMics Well.....I found a woman with a car,.....and I ran off for a year. Various Law Enforcement agencies probably involved hahahahaha. I'm back around, might even do me a new show sometime. LOVE YOUR SHIT BRO !!!!!
10 bucks just for the parts! I'm in! Take the good USB circuit out of that white handheld, put it in this, and make the one cheap mic to rule them all. Only one left. I bought the 2nd to last!
I'm glad I'm not the only one lol I bought this when they were 15 bucks and thought it sounded good in xlr. I opened mine up out of curiosity and it has the same capsule that is a "replacement sm58" type capsule that they sell on ebay for $6 or so. Still not a bad deal!
Bark breakin' bad with the nine-dollar MV-7 knock off. Got a nasal twang to it, but it's $9! Dang good-sounding for $9! USB has a "doubled" sound - there's a delay mixed in. Sounds horrible. But on XLR, it sounds decent.
In usb mode long press the mute button to activate the noise cancellation feature Short press volume knob to control gain short press again for headphone volume The inside button is the only function that works in xlr mode I own three of theses and I haven’t any complaints although mine didn’t come with wind screens but for 10 bucks hey
Tried that but heard no difference Yeah a great buy for 10 bucks. And noise cancellation doesn’t matter on mine anyways since it has that awesome doubling effect in usb mode
$9 for that performance in XLR is worth it to me. USB mode, it inspires a new Optimus Prime ASMR channel because oddly enough there's a market for jank like that. Could you just save the other $20-25 dollars for something like a Fifine K669D? Absolutely, but on a whim why the hell not?
Not gonna lie, saw the title and thought, yep, i know how this is gonna go. But that XLR sound is more than good enough for podcasting, especially when EQ'd. Colour me surprised AF.
Stopped working on Halloween stuff to watch this video. Two min and forty seconds into a video that released now 15 minutes ago. Mic already sold out and they don’t know if or when they will get them in stock. Way to sell out those mics Bark! DANG! LOL
When you did the USB mode it sounds like there's a horrible latency/comb-filter sound. Very weird. Like you're inside a pantry or something. Horrid! But the XLR sounds GREAT!
10 bucks.. yeah.. not great overall but.... for 10 bucks, it will do it to it if that is all you can afford. edit.. just herd the close mic test and that sounded quite nice..
@@ObscureMics I need to listen to it again my first impression (with processing) was that it had a sort of weird thickness that wasn't offensive but sounded kind of artificial of course nitpicking a 10 dollar mic for this is INSANE, I can't fault it for that at the price point and honestly I might not even notice it if I wasnt critically listening to the mic on headphones instead of just enjoying a podcast in the car or whatever
@enriquekahn9405 it’s hard to tell sometimes. I may listen again and feel a lot different. I still don’t love the sound of the sE v7 🤷♂️….and I really believe that’s just a weird “me thing”
The usb mode totally sounds like they route the doubled up monitoring into the recording somehow. Really interesting effect. Great vid!
That makes a lot of sense, as I’ve never heard the doubling effect of monitoring sound identical to the usb output. Thank ya mic master B!
yeah that was my thought too, it sounded like a strange echo or reverb effect that was inadvertently left on by default
That sounds way better than it has any right to.
It’s real solid in XLR mode for sure

I will always love you Bill
I use mine in usb mode only record all of my videos this way
Currently Out of Stock ALREADY. Love You Bark !
There you are!! I was starting to worry about ya my Appalachian brother

The usb mode also provides you with a state of art phaser effect which you cannot switch off cause it is that awesome!
It’s amazing! Groundbreaking technology

Yeah the usb sound was TRASH
The USB mode still has the delay/echo on. Its has such short repeats that it is essentially flanging. Thats why it sounds that way.
3:51 Yeah I wonder what that is😆 Anyway, mic sounds absolutely fine at such a price.
🤷♂️

Sounds like the reverb is on full time in USB. There should be an off button somewhere for the echo.
Would be nice. But…no button

Legit…if I have a few friends wanting to start a podcast, I’ll grab a few of these as a “start out and see how it goes” option
I think it sounds totally fine in xlr, even better with processing. Unavailable on Canadian Amazon obviously. How do you find these things?
With the help of the folks in my discord server!
USB mode had me thinking C-3PO. For $9.99... XLR mode hit it man! Sounded great for a cheap ass mic!! More singing please! Hahahaha!
XLR mode was almost as good as the 58!
@@ObscureMics
Amazingly it was! Crazy shit man!
That usb is bad
Not gonna lie, saw the title and thought, yep, i know how this is gonna go. But that XLR sound is more than good enough for podcasting, especially when EQ'd. Colour me surprised AF.
Same. I genuinely rather liked the sound in xlr
oh crap it actually sounds good in xlr mode lmao woww
That it does!
7:20 nice voice
It was all the echo
The USB is not very good :) There is some phasing going on as well. But in XLR, I'll buy a few of them!

To be fair….there were not many left at time of posting
That’s the way the obscures mic stuff happens. LOL You gotta be quick on the decent bargain buys.
@knowyourjoe8826 100%

Yeah I was pretty shocked that it came through that way…but yeah a $10 usb mic wit my “the look” …redeeming
@@ObscureMics Maybe it was sending BOTH the XLR and USB feeds through together at the same time?
@am74343 xlr was not plugged in when usb was….made a horrible noise
10 bucks.. not bad at all.
Passable!
Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9
10 bucks.. yeah.. not great overall but.... for 10 bucks, it will do it to it if that is all you can afford. edit.. just herd the close mic test and that sounded quite nice..
Yeah it’s not gonna make a novice super happy. But man I would have used 3 of these in my first podcast era
Gonna be real: I don't like it, but for the price I'm not gonna complain.
Decent backup-of-the-backup mic tbh.
Be real my brother. I kinda dig the xlr sound myself
@@ObscureMics I need to listen to it again
my first impression (with processing) was that it had a sort of weird thickness that wasn't offensive but sounded kind of artificial

USB was garbage but XLR okay. $10 - bargain.
Hot garbage. But yeah xlr…sign me up if it’s my first mic
