    Hi guys!! Hope y'all enjoyed this video. Regarding sound quality, all these microphones sound really good. For me, the the Bullet the Icon Pro sounded best, but if I were on a tighter budget... the sound quality of the Bullet was solid 💪🏻 To be honest, you can't really go wrong with any of these 🫡

    Hello, Edward!
    Back in the day, I used to binge-watch your videos while on the hunt for a good microphone. Your thorough microphone comparisons and reviews, complete with singing and testing, helped me find the perfect one. I vividly remember stumbling upon your cover "Big Jet Plane." It was unlisted video but thanks to a link you graciously shared, I got to enjoy the entire song. Your calming voice and the acoustic vibes became a source of comfort, and I saved that video on my UA-cam app for those long listens. A bit cheesy, but it even turned into a morning ritual for me. However, with my recent phone change, I can't access to the video, and since it was unlisted, tracking it down is proving to be a challenge.
    If it's okay with you, could you please drop the link to the acoustic cover of "Big Jet Plane"?

    I want to get a condenser studio microphone around $400-$450 and even though I've watched your videos, I find them all great. I would love something versatile and not too bright sounding. Really liked the video, keep doing these interesting and entertaining videos!

    • @EdwardSmithMusic

      Thank you for watching! My fav condenser microphone between $400 - $500 is the AKG C214. A great vocal microphone for the price.

    I have an SM7b, and like it A LOT. However, I’ve considered the Icon for a while. I think it sounds beautiful, but I’ve been working in an untreated space. Figured the dynamic SM7b would be better. Building my studio now, so may upgrade to the icon once it’s finished.

    I originally purchased the Icon Pro. Sold it and tried many of the popular models in the price range and cheaper. I ended up buying it back. It particularly shines if you do a lot of Zoom calls or prefer to have your own voice come through with more accuracy. Another plus is it filters out noise better than other condenser mics I tried. SM7B sounded great of course adn the AT2040 was probably 3rd place for me. MV7 is so thin sounding and overrated to me.

    Great choice of microphones and review. Much appreciated. I would also like to add one mic for people to consider. The RODE NT1 Signature Series Condenser microphone at $160 or if both XLR and USB are required, the RODE NT1 5th Gen Condenser mic @ $250. An honourable mention would also be the SE electronics Dynacaster @ $276.

    Really like your videos! And I have a question about two specific microphones (The BAIFEILI C414 and the PROAR C414)
    The question is if you know the difference is between those two microphones, And if so what is better?

  • @YDDADCIV

    I think podcasters are just going by the visual wannabe fad. I personally feel that podcast mics are a trend. In the video production broadcast world mics are clip on or wireless clip on or boom. These pod mics place a divider there in your face and looking at it from outside looks like you're talking into a big black can. I predict this trend will go away and the market will be left with a ton of MV7 SM7 mics

      I use the Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro headphones 95% of the time. Currently I'm using a few pairs of $50 headphones... making a video on them atm.

    • @EdwardSmithMusic
      @EdwardSmithMusic  8 місяців тому +1

      For me, if the microphone sounds good and it doesn’t pick up too much noise, use it. Most microphones, even basic USB mics work well enough for podcasting.

    My wife and I sit side by side at our duel gamer desk. We currently struggle with background noise and echo. I use a headset with a mic on it and she uses a Blue Yieti. We stream and plan to podcast.
    I like the Bullet a lot but am still not sure which would be good for fixing echo and suit our situation.
    Please help.

    I think my bro that as long as the voice come out clean, the rest depends how your voice is sweet. A bad voice no matter what u put to arrange it will always be bad. All what i need us a clean record then the mastering and mixing stay such talent.

    Hello, I have an interview style video podcast using Zoom pro to conduct the virtual interviews. Not reviewed here but considering an SM7dB. I'm looking for a streamlined setup that is easy to operate for one person. I'd prefer hardware solution over a subscription service I'll pay for until doomsday. What is needed to get the SM7dB's audio into the PC? The videos already go to an 3rd party editor who has done a pretty good job with post-production audio. Thank you.
