Which one are you buying?👀
samson, easy
I may be a little biased (since I recently bought the samson myself), but while the $400 mic has higher sound stability and smooth audio, it's muffled, while the Samson has a much more crisp and clear sound to it, which is further improved with even basic noise reduction software.
Only downside I can see with the Samson is that it's base attatchment is not standard, so you need to hunt a little to find a stand or shockmount that it fits on.
Between theprice though, along with the overall quality of the mic, I say the Samson wins.
The mount hunt is annoying, but at the end of the day, you're basically dealing with a brick, and none of the cheap $10 stands could hold it still unless it just stays on the table after passing that weight limit.
It's either Samson's arms or something equivalent at that point. A sacrifice for the bulk, but one that's definitely not a dealbreaker.
@@TheDementedSig Agreed, and the fact that you can get all the hardware you need for the Samson (including the mic) for under $300, boom arm, shock mount, filters, extended USB cord, is a definate plus. With sound treatment and even just some minor filter tweaking, I can't really sense too much of a difference between it, and a $1k mic. And being a musician, the abilityto plug in a piano or guitar is a definate plus. It just supports the fact that higher price doesn'talways mean higher quality.
It's beyond sufficient... The only disappointment is I had to getthe pop filter seperatelyfrom Amazon, and it took like... 2 or 3 weeks to arrive.
I mean this in the nicest way possible, for being such a small channel the quality of video and sound is amazing. Great video great review. I went ahead and picked up the Samson! I have a blue yeti and I just don’t like it!
Thanks for the kind words. I felt the same after getting the Blue Yeti. The Samson has a much warmer tone, and to me, does not sound like a budget microphone like the Yeti does. Just my opinion though.
@@ItsVisualsByX Well sir, That's a fantastic opinion.
As someone who has a full setup with the G-Track Pro, boom arm, popfilters, shock mount, in total with the mic cost about a total of about $250. It's definately worth the cost, and with proper program filters, it can sound better than most high-end super expensive mics.
What pop filters did you buy? I just bought ones that were too small for it
@@Pro9Brisk I use 2 pop filters, a screen pop filter specifically designed and made for it, and a pop filter sleeve. I'm not sure of the exact type, but 2 filters is more than enough to prevent any plosives from ruining the audio.
I've been using the Samson for a couple of years now - it is very high quality and versatile.
I recommend both honestly, Being a musician and a singer and an artist on the go. I think people are looking at the price and not at the value of the microphone. The G track pro is by far one of the best USB mics I have come across it should be worth more money than what it is in my opinion. Just depends on what you’re doing with it!!! it boils down to your mastering and miixing and the talent you bring to the table 😂..
The Samson sounds really good to be that much cheaper
The shure kicks out a lot of those ‘P’ sounds without you needing the edits! It’s dope.👍🏽👍🏽
I appreciate the comment bro!
The Shure has an external pop filter which blocks out plosives like the ‘P’ sound you are talking about. Pop filters are relatively cheap and will block out those plosives you are hearing.
Shure definitely better but that Samson bang for your buck is crazy.
The Samson is a better mic for the price, but the Shure sounds better
I like the clear sound of the Samson g track pro, even I did ordered one already yesterday :) But I agree it depends on what you actually need, for Posdcast and if I have the budget sure I would invest in the sure mic as well, but for voice over, streaming and you tube samson all the way :))
I think the comparison is not to good. One cannot test one mic with and other without pop. But good vid. Thanks. I have the Samson with a foam pop on it and it is very nice. Effortless sound.
I tested them as they are out of the box. I appreciate your comment.
That was not a fair comparison. You kept turning away from Samson. you were super close to Shure. not a fair comparison.
Samson was designed to not stay as close as Shure 👍
Thank you for your video, really appreciate it, however the comparison would be more exact if you speak into shure from the top... it's mambrane is located horizontally and samson and yeti's are on the side. Thanks.
I thought you had 30k subs hahah you deserve more man. Try click baiting, just so people discover you. Try using SEO. Try Using tags. Well written descriptions. Advertise, I hope I could help with this advice you didnt ask for :)
Preciate the love 💯
Daaaaaaaamn, the Samson sounds CLEAAAAAN and actually richer, but of course the more expensive mic has less background noise. There's a sick looking pop filter custom made for the samson for just like $10 on Amazon, about to pick it up after seeing this. The thing about the Samson is that its hella sensitive according to reviewers but in an acoustically treated room, it should sound amazing because of that. I need to get me some more acoustic foam up on my walls fs.
Also, as for the Shure... I notice this kind of "Hissing" effect whenever you're done talking. I'm not sure what that is.
It almost like there's this little bit of a "Fabric Rubbing against the Mic" kind of sound that occurs. I can hear it during that last quarter of a second upon you finishing a sentence. I don't even have Monitor Headphones on, just my SONY WH-1000XM4's (which currently go for around $350 USD)
============================================================================
4 Mics that I've seen go toe to toe IMO with richness, crispness and good lows (since watching around 20 different mic reviews) in the past 24 hours are...
Samson G Track Pro. (Barely edging out the HyperX QuadCast or Blue Yeti X in MOST cases)
Shure SM7B
Logitech Blue Sona (A lot of people say it sounds a lot like the Shure SM7B but for $50 less!)
SE Electronics DynaCaster Dynamic Broadcast Microphone
Update: Got it and it's so freaking worth the money. I set up some filters in OBS and figured out a sick way to get that audio going through in real-time for gaming and stuff. It's literally perfect.
@@TheMillionDollarDropout Nice, I'm using the Samson G-Track Pro with a triple-layer pop filter and it's worth the price.
I prefer the Samson in both bang for buck and audio quality. It sounds way richer and more dynamic than the Shure.
For shure?
@@Andrews9074 🤣😂
Damn that's a beautiful strat you've got in the background!
Thanks man I’ve been looking for a mircophone that sounds good for a little cheaper price
How come in this video the shure sounded very bad...was it just me cause usually it sounds fantastic but it sounded kinda bad this time
I’ll be grabbing the cheaper mic lol
Great review man!
Great vid bro keep up with the good work
There is difference but not 300 dollar difference
Funny that you made this video after I started streaming! When I was about to start I was thinking of ordering the HyperX Quad Cast but it was gonna take too long before I started streaming, so I just bought a Samson. The Samson is doing well for now but I feel the HyperX would be better? What say you?
I listened to your stream. Do u have the G track pro?
I can help you optimize your settings
No it’s just a Samson Satellite
Oh wait are you talking about the track pad you mentioned briefly in the beginning?
@@ItsVisualsByX What a gentleman. Great video.
Not really a fair comparison - with the Samson you didn't use a pop filter (while complaining about plosives), you were about 6 inches from the mic and you kept turning away from it so the audio dropped out. With the Shure, you were about 3-4 inches away, front on and using a supplied pop filter. I would argue if you put a pop filter on the Samson and recorded straight on with the right gain, you'd find the Samson was a lot clearer and brighter.
Great review
Samson and find a arm or stand for it with the 300$ saved and the XLR preamp.
What gain are you setting it on? On the Samson?
Does the g track have software for voice effects like the yeti?
I don't believe so. And if the new ones do, I'm pretty sure 3rd party software applications would serve you much better.
I believe mine did come with recording software and effects, but I'm using 3rd party ones now.
Which mic do you recommend for me while I’m cooking?
The samson is great for that. Especially voice overs. Id recommend getting a rode mic for your camera as well. The quality will be much better than the camera’s internal microphone.
Shure SM7B
where could you get the Samson G Track for around $100?
Before covid they were often on sell at various sites. I got mine from Best Buy 2 years back for $100 . You still should be able to find them at most retailers for under $130.
