Microphone Test - Samson Meteor VS Yeti Blue
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- I test the four mics I have lying around on my desk right now to see which would win in a fight and stuff. I recently purchased the Blue Yeti in my quest for the perfect setup. Although I can't appreciate the improvement, at least I now have a backup, decent microphone and another portable but still decent one.
Microsoft webcam (Who cares what, it's RUBBISH)
Samson Go
Samson Meteor
Yeti Blue
"Some of _the_ best novels ever written"
*50 Shades of Grey*
Also, twilight xD
"You're pretty good! "
Now make a video where you read Fifty Shades with the Blue Yeti. All of it.
NightmareX91 How about No?
DjSL3ID3R Don't like it don't watch it :D
+gor-don free-mon same >:D
Fifty Shades of Blue
+Intel Core i7 6900K (Overcocked to 6.9GHz) 6.9 ghz?! holy shit!
The Samson Meteor seems to favor Bass while the Go has more treble. The Yeti sounds quite balanced. The Meteor is not bad by any stretch of the imagination, but the Yeti is noticeably better and cleaner.
I find the yeti more bassed
@@vik4130 Wrong.
I still find the webcam mic suprisingly good. Got the same webcam, at least the sound is really clear, even my shitty headset had worse quality than a lousy webcam
also, you were holding it a little too close
Interesting. good to know, Philip!
Martti Merilaid Heck yea I got the same webcam too and I bought a Samson Meteorite because I thought that was what Phillip said, but it was the Samson Meteor Mic he said and I did wonder why it was 30 pounds cheaper lmao I need to go back to using my webcam it's a lot better xD
Well having fairly trained ears, I can hear the difference between them on my speakers. Meteor has a weird phasing sound to it, and maybe too harsh compared to Yeti Blue. Its still great tho
I was meaning the Samson Meteorite, not Samson Meteor :P They are 2 different mics, and the Meteorite is horrible, but Meteor is sick af
ohh idk about all these mics, just watching every single video philip posts pmuch :D
Hello, sir! Could you please tell us how do you record with Samson Meteor so clearly and without noise? I've got the same mic and can barely reach the same result
+Егор Клёнов you have to turn the gain down, get closer and filter pops.
use pop filter
I have the same problem. there is a constant hissing
@@deandejongh4055 the problem was that there was a bad connection from the mic capsule to the opamp in the microphone my brother re soldered it and I works fine but I would not recommend getting this microphone as the insides look like it had been put together by a beginner, also the support literally just ghosted me after telling me to upgrade some drivers and wouldn't respond. So beware of that
The blue and meteor have the same 16bit quality. The difference is the ability to change modes (sterio, cardinal, omnidirectional, etc.) and there is gain control on the yeti.
Jesus christ I have seen my fair share of mic comparisons but WHY HAS NO ONE BEEN DOING IT LIKE THIS EVER???? This is literally the best most fair mic comparison video I've seen, and straight to the point too.
A video where I get to hear your voice over and over again. I think god has heard my prayers.
You can definitely hear the difference from the Meteor to the Blue Yeti. Your voice sounds clearer and to me it picks up heights in your voice better and sounds less muffled. I can recommend both of them, as I owned the Meteor for a long time before switching to the Yeti
Thanks for the video, I almost bought a Blue Yeti, because I wanted better quality. (I have a meteor) but I can't justify the price for that little difference in quality when I already have the meteor. You saved me some money. Very good video.
i know this is two years later... yep definitely the blue yeti is better but for the extra cost probably not worth it
@@PrioBak If you have money it's worth it... probably going to get it... Or i might aswell get the g-track
i almost do the same too. i alrdy have meteor and thinking of upgrade to blue yeti. after see this video, i will stick with my meteor. maybe blue yeti pro which has 100+Hz frequency will be more distinct.
For a second, I forgot you were in the U.K, so I was like 'Crap, those mics are heavy!"
I really cant push my blue yeti to the quality you have, how do you do it phillip :(
keep it on cardioid (the heart thing) keep the gain down all the way and go close up to the yeti, like 3-4 inches away
NoahMarcMiller Thanks, it got better, however there's a high pitched noise, still in the background.
Cable problem? Or may be your soundcard / onboard sound.
***** If you're microphone is on another surface with something that has moving parts i.e. computer, move it. Also turn off your AC. Whenever you want to record something scripted like what philip does, I usually put a blanket over my head and the microphones because I have no money for foam wall paddings
Audacity
I happen to have just bought the samson meteor
I'm so happy with this, because it's not large and has great quality
Thanks mate. You really sold me on the Meteor. I can barely hear the difference between it and the Yeti. The Yeti smooths the jagged edges very slightly, but the Meteor sounds fuller sometimes
This is great! I just started looking into these mics, so this video was a godsend!
I'm getting the Samson Go for now (budget). Though, my goal is going to be the Yeti, because I'm also a singer...and like doing a lot of songs at home.
Thanks for the video.
I can hear the difference between the blue yeti and the samson meteor. It's rather slight. I think the meteor is picking up more bass whilst the yeti sounds like it is picking up a more natural tone of your voice when compared to the Go which also sounds pretty decent.
I've been looking for a good microphone and I need one that will pick up my voice from a distance so it seems like I'm still going to have to go with the Yeti as you said that you have to be a bit closer with the meteor for it to pick up sound.
"Some of the best novels ever..." Twilight, what?!??!?
I'm honoured to be early to a kliksphillip video.
Same.
Now that is timing! i was just about to look up your How to improve audio video when you uploaded this
I've had the Meteor for years, it's great.
Meteor sounds better to me! The landscape has changed a lot since this video has come out and with streaming everyone seems to be preferring dynamic mics. I was deciding between the Samsung Meteor and Fifine AM8 and decided to get the Fifine due to minimizing typing noise from my mechanical keyboard.
Excellent review, purchased my Meteor today! Many thanks
I got a Yeti and some of my friends said the train sound in the background improved a lot. lol
>samson meteor: "you don't know how incredibly breakable you are!"
ain't that the damn truth
can you Explain that pls? :)
the samson meteor breaks after like 3 months for a few people. i think its because something in the board is quite delicate. This is the only thing that is keeping me from buying it, although im sure i will take care of it properly. This happened to a friend of mine who makes youtube videos and he just went to using the smaller £30 one that philip's got. I think he still uses it to this day.
+liamisamonster been using the meteor for about 2 years now on a daily basis. guess I got lucky
i have it now. no problems so far, but quality is great.
liamisamonster Have you come across any problem with the Samson Meteor so far?
Still prefer the meteorite for you videos, but probably just because I'm more used to it, and you've made your style accustom to it.
Great review and editting! You deserve more subs!
The Blue Yetis are just amazing.
I already used my samson meteor now for about 1-2 years and I can agree that the sound quality is awesome!
A friend of mine gave me the blue yeti a week ago and I can really hear no clear difference.
So if you really dont need the modifiers (You normaly dont nees them) then you should buy yourself a samson meteor.
I will give the blue yeti back to my friend because I clearly dont need it ^^
I can tell the Yeti is better than all the others, but the Meteor Mic is a close second. I have a meteor mic on order but will get a yeti one day, if my podcast goes anywhere.
Samsun meteor seems to have a wider dynamic range, tks for review and good acting skills ;-)
The Samson Meteor sounds bassy-er, but the Yeti has better overall mixing, I feel. The Meteor seemed too bassy.
Meteor it is then ! Thanks for a real life demo !!
Yeti sounds slighty fuller to me.
Thank you. This video helps
bought the samon meteor, doubting if i should have gone for the yeti, now i'm happy with my purchase.
I was going to say everything you did. The samsung go, sounded perfectly fine for me, and the last two I couldnt tell a difference
Hahaaa.. love that you used the Twilight Saga for testing :DDD -- actually think the meteor sounds abit richer than the yeti... which surprises me, as Blue are far superior to Samson!
Came across this video as I am researching microphones. Yes, the do sound close but the Yeti Blue records clearly regardless of how it's turned. Meaning, if the front is facing away from you it still picks up your voice. The Samson is not built that way. It only picks up your voice clearly when you speak facing the front of the mic. I suppose if I''m going save a few dollars I'll just be sure the Samson is in the position it needs to be in before I start talking/recording. On the other hand if I don't want to have to worry about that then I guess I would spend the extra money. Seems simple enough. LOL
the reason why the samson meteor mic and the blue yeti sound the same is because they have both a sample rate of 16bit/48khz, only the blue yeti pro has 24bit/192khz.
When you tested these mics, how far were you away from them?
I would like to know does the "Samson Meteor" pick up sounds on say like 45cm ( little less than 1.5 ft)?
Cheers
Thank you for the comparison
I think the Samson Meteor sounds less bassy than the Blue Yeti
Same but it has a bit a wider sound range in my opinion
+Nikolaus-Maxim Zolnhofer has more pop too
***** :(
RIP CyanogenMod
Blue Yeti has the great bass as the Samson Meteor, but a bit clearer sound. Clear is good.
and it costs twice as much as Samson Meteor :)
thank you i have been think about getting new microphone and this video has pushed me enough to go and buy it. now all i need is for you to do a video about the best new headphones to buy for under £40 so i can finally get rid of this set that is being held together with duck tape and luck.
I think the samson meteor sounds way better than any of them... I was about to buy it, so this just confirmed my choice ! :D (Only 100$CAD :o)
the Blue Yeti has more balance and options in sound
I have a Samson Meteor, and I use it for recording my voice on Minecraft videos (since the game console mic doesn't come through to the capture card). I've found that it's extremely sensitive and picks up every tiny little bit of background noise, as well as the room echo. If you have a very quiet environment and are speaking directly into it, then the quality is pretty good - but for me, the background noise it picks up gets annoying...
you can remove background noise easily by taking the audio over to audacity and using noise removal. It is really easy and fast and there are several tutorials online.
What a nice review. You only reviewed the sound tesr and i loved it.
They honestly all sound pretty decent
Thanks for the video, mate. Helped a lot. I'll go with the moteor!
the yeti is the best....but the difference is subtle between the meteor...but the price is 40p less...so its a bang per buck
Straight to the point. I love it
Love your review style!
I tuned out for like 5 seconds before you said the sample sentence, and coming back to hearing a guy making a video in the nude with the exception of high heels eep'd me the fuck out.
I think it's obvious that the blue yeti sounds sharper in this video. Notice how after he says something there's a bit of a trail, the blue yeti sort of mitigates this while preserving audio quality
That feeling when you use your laptops built in microphone and people ask you what kind of microphone you use that has a.) zero echo (really) b.) perfect sound quality c.) picks up your voice even if you are two rooms away (now you wont get away with sneaky farting!)
Gunther Ober Push to talk forever!
Hahaha great video! i just got the Samson Metrorite usb for only £28 was only gonna get blue yeti, but for the prices, you can't go wrong :)
I actually think the £60 Samson sounds nicer than the Yeti, the yeti doesn't sound as nice in the higher range. Could just be my audio setup though!
Blue Yeti is the best microfon...I bought it and is great.
This is a great comparison vid! very nice! thanks
Thank you so much man i'm sold on the samson meteor
I like the yeti more. I think the meteor has too much bass, but they both sound good
wow didnt think i would find a klicksflip video, nice
IMO the Yeti sounds better, both the Meteor and Yeti sound very good
Meteor is probably the best out of the three for some reason.
you can hear the difference when you close your eyes, it's pretty much the same though (between the most expensive ones)
How hell you sound so great in Samson Meteor ? I got it and picks up everything that happens in my city!
Mines at 50% and using 2 types software to make it sound better but no luck
Honestly I thought the Samson Meteor sounded the best.
lolololololololol hahah
@@LlfeMinecraft Looks like this guy is getting some hardcore buyers remorse and is justifying his purchase by making fun of youtube commenters
Ryan N lolololololol hahah
@@user-ng2ry9cq9w lolololololol hahah
Personally, I prefer the Meteor mic from the Yeti. At least with the proper editing in Audacity.
However the meteor is much cheaper. The Blue yeti is not worth it because how little the change is. Meteor: 68$ Yeti: 180$
Depends. I got the Yeti for 111 for 4 year warranty and a video game, so that's worth it. But, if it's a money drought and it's stupidly expensive, then go for the meteor.
Something you need to consider is how the blue yeti sounds when yelling and maybe talking further away.
I'm using the Samson GO Mic and it's horrible for gaming :(. Every noise in a range about 10 m will be heard, it's not really the mic for voice acting as well. The person which speaks directly into the mic won't be that louder than something in background.
In your video the mic sounds pretty good, how could you remove this noise and still keep the organic sound of the voice? I've done some pretty good post-effecting :D.
Samson Meteor it's not as good as everyone says but Blue Yeti is much better and price is too very good so thanks for the video I definitely buy Blue Yeti :)
The Yeti is much clearer in my opinion, but its very clear to me he is WAY to close to his mic.
Great video, but i think I'll be going with a Blue Microphones "Snowball ICE". Looks small, comes at a nice price, and the reviews say its a quality mic :)
I would get the snowball, a friend of mine got the ice and it sounds like garbage
NoahMarcMiller From reviews I've seen and just looking at the specs online, the only difference is that the Snowball has three modes that allow for things like surround recording, and I don't plan on using it for that
connor jackson You can get the ice if you want, it might not sound good though
+NoahMarcMiller They use the same microphone.
Don't get snowball. U have to put your mouth soooo close to it to hear anything you're saying. Get the Samson. It's better for the same price
AYE I HAVE THE SAMSON MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks! Am looking for info to buy my first mic and this is very useful.
I love the Meteor, although I do hear a very slight difference in clarity between it and the Blue Yeti. The Go product with bass increase sounds fine, but somewhat artificial compared to the other two. The Blue Yeti seems to provide the highest clarity and bass frequencies by default, with the Meteor having exactly the same bass frequencies but slightly less high range clarity. Nice comparison.
Thanks for the review mate got one off eBay for 45 bucks with a pop filter.
Sorry but if you don't mind do you know what settings the meteor was at
Before investing in a microhpone, it's important to have reasonably good headphones. (Not gaming headset so to say)
AT2020 masterrace!
kliksphilip hmm the downside is that you need an additional sound card or mixer that provides phantom power but apart from that it's alright. i've being using condensers for years talking to skype :P
+Nick Kapenkar There is a AT2020 USB+ version.
Not sure why everyone doesn't look this up but you can get a xlr to usb adapter for around $13 on Amazon
***** Well, if you want to spend the money for a card that supports XLR, then feel free. However if you just want to get around dealing with the XLR cable, then you can just get the adapter cable. Also, it's only $10, I actually bothered to look.
I am using the meteor since forever really, never even thought of switching. And I still don't. Never understood peoples obsession with the yeti for one person youtube commentary. It seems like a waste of money for that. But I guess it is probably great for group recordings! even though I feel like everyone having a microphone on his own would be better for post editing and audio balance... but that is just me babbling here!
5 years late but the blue yeti is better at picking up mid ranges, which for youtube videos would be meaningless but in music production means a lot
The Yeti had more "air noise". Like the P in "that's certainly a problem" at 1:33; the "was to" in "if I was too hasty" at 1:51 and the shortly after "even for" and "wasn't" - I could keep typing but you get the point. The Samson Meteor didn't have those muffled air noises. My question is: is that a bad aspect of the microphone or is it rather the uploader of this video doesn't know how to use it properly? What was he doing wrong if so?
The metor one is more squeakier and lowder and the yeti is soft and smooth
Wait, you said the best novels, why did I hear something that sounded like Twilight?
ORIGIN4LFluffy He has a twilight shirt.
RcoasProductions That makes it worse!
Also I need a full twilight audio book voiced by you
Webcam microphone is surprisingly not that bad
Love my Meteor :-)
I don't know, the Yeti just felt less fatiguing on the ears
hi sir. i bought a samson meteor mic few days ago and it's all working well and set the levels of the mic correctly. my only problem is, when i used to record this mic on my DAW (reaper) there is this annoying hiss/static kinda sound on the background. i hope you can help me. thank you. :)
i like the Samson Meteor most i think.
then the Samsung Go because of its Price
Informative and brief. Nice.
This is the review I was looking for. Just curious, how far away were you from the Samson mic?
The beat distance you should be from your mic is about 9 inches.
Just go the meteor and I love it
Very good video. thanks man.
The Blue seems to bring out that deep sultry voice of yours.. **wink** **wink**.. **nudge** **nudge**
I prefer the meteor over the yeti
I've found I do have turn my bass way down with my Yeti in post.
I'll buy the meteor thanks
"I hope this helps."
