AmazonBasics Dynamic Vocal Microphone Review / Test
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Today I review the "AmazonBasics Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Super Cardioid”. This microphone has a very top heavy sound to it which leads to some sibilance and harshness issues. It also did an awful job at plosive rejection. On the other hand it has a nice output at -52dB, it did a fine job at background noise rejection, and a decent job at handling noise rejection.

That's a fair dinkum thinkum, cobber.
!
Chur. Sweet as, She’ll be right.
@@Podcastage Mate - using Aussie slang only works if you're an Aussie! You're funny though.
Lol... Who would pay $70 for an AmazonBasics dynamic when the SM48 is only $40 and Behringer XM8500 is only $20??? Both sound wayyyy better.
It's not $20 anymore
@@TykoBrian7 Matter of fact Amazon no longer allows adding any of their products to my cart and they are all being sold by 3rd party sellers and their 20 dollar mic (23 at B&H) is now 45-70. I think Amazon didn't like how inexpensive Behringer products were and they have ceased to order new so as all the stock is depleted the add to cart is removed and only 3rd party sellers are allowed (which jacks the prices up beyond belief).
Hell yeah man, so glad to see my recommendation done!
I ve been waiting for this from so long!!!
I just considered buying this one over the weekend . Cool review bro
Good video as always! Could you also use a set of brown keys to test background rejection? Since the blues are pretty loud I'm curious to hear the quieter keys as well. As for review suggestions could you revisit the Behringer 302 mixer with some of the mic options or alternatively do a vs type review between a 302 and maybe a UM2 or other similarly priced option in audio interface? For mics how about some of Monoprice stuff?
I love it when you play my favorite tune: "Cherry MX Blues"
Woah that plosives really gave my speakers a good stretch and I can felt it right on my face
Nice intro. Nailed it. :)
Bloody fantastic review, mate. It’s a ripper!
Came for the mic review, stayed for the sick electric guitar solo. Keep it up man!
Nice video man, can you rewiew the Trust GXT 252 Emita?
this was good review , and fun . thanks
Thanks for your helpful Info
I am new to the streaming scene and trying to find a decent microphone for my games and streams. I am limited on space, so trying to keep it simple now with a USB mic and boom arm, and with 3 children background noise is an issue from time to time. With this being said, what would you recommend be the best fit for me? Thanks for all your reviews and videos, you are awesome!
Love your channel! Please review the Audix OM7 :)
Havent gotten a notification from you in a few weeks
Gosh darn YT!
Epic riff on the electric. Be excellent to each other.
Thank you very much for the kind words. Really appreciate that.
Thank you for that review.
On another note, I live in one of the northern states. Today is Aug 27 2019 and it's 81 deg here and I noticed you have on a hat and long sleeve shirt. So you either live in the Arctic or your air conditioner works amazingly well. If it's the later, you may want to turn down the "doobely-doo" on the wall. 😂😂. Peace.
@Podcastage
I was wondering if you could do a review on the desk boom arm that "Lew Later" uses...(kind of square tubing) . I know a lot of tubers use boom arms and it would be a good view.
Thank you sir.
You make good videos.
Greetings from Germany
Have you looked at anything by Audix? Like the OM7? They're popular on stage with what they claim is incredibly good feedback (therefore rear) rejection... Would be interesting to hear your thoughts 🙂
Since your channel is incredibly awesome, talking about mics, please make a review about akg c5, akg c7, akg c636. because they are worth to put a try on them.
Would love to see a Blue Hummingbird mic compared to something similar, like a shure SM81-LC, Rode NT5 :)
Now that you mention the Q2Us again.. I've bought two for around 50 bucks each back in 2014, but they now cost 90 bucks here. Not really worth it for me, for that price I'd go for a SM58 directly. I thought about getting two Samsom Q7s (or Q7x's) to record 4 mics at a time. I saw your review and you weren't too fond of it; but do you think the Q7 and the Q2U would do well next to each other? For podcasting purposes. Cheers, and thanks a lot for that video! What a high price, lol
Id also like to see you review the LEWITT MTP 550 Dynamic Mic? please
Bandrew take a look at the Sterling Audio line. The st155 uses the same flat-response 3-micron capsule as the more expensive st159 making it a killer deal at $200. The st159 with full patterns is a phenomenal all-purpose mic for studio work. And they can usually be found pretty cheap used.
What is your top 5 favorite condenser microphones?
My XM8500 lives another day. I will say the MXL Pop Dynamic mic looks decent, just need to hear it in action and I may have an upgrade in the future
Hope you're doing good man, you seem like a cool guy.
What microphone would you recommend for voice communication if I'm about 3ft from the microphone and have background noise? I would prefer to keep the microphone planted on my table since I sometimes like to keep my headphone off.
What xlr cable brand did you use before you switched all your xlr cables to mogami?
Could you please do a Zoom h1n review / test?
id like to hear this as well
Hey, could you do a review video of the BOYA BY-M1000 microphone?
Could you please compare the Rode NT2a and the Neumann TLM 103
Can you review the EV Colbolt C09 dynamic mic?
If it was priced around $20 it would be more compelling. I would alternatively pick the SM48 all day long vs. this dumpster fire on a Microphone.
That pitch harmonic was sweet as
the capsule looks like the same capsule in a Carvin M67 mic from several years ago. wonder who makes this?
IDK... Maybe my ears are funny but this mic is cleaner than the shure sm48. However I don't know why but I hear everything with this mic. Every Keyboard click to every hand shuffle.
Either way I love your format for the microphone testings no one does it like this even after you've been doing it for what 3 years now? maybe 4 or 5? Must feel good to know you've tried almost every mic you can easily buy on the market at this point.
At this point I'd start retesting Mics based on setups if the Mic pool is starting to thin. Look into vocal effects and the like.
Edited in: have you tried the: MXL BCD-1??1
Could you review the Maono Au-A04?
Could you do a review on the Royer R121 Ribbon Microphone plz
You play really nice,how'd you learned??
can you do a review of voicemeeter? with like a super cheapy mic pls
They have Studio mics for your IPhone 📲 now ! ! Do the Shure MV88 , got raving reviews.. would love ❤️ 2 see u Switch it up ! 🤗
Bro, could you please add a link to the pop filter you used.
Yup, pretty much every other dynamic in that price range would be a wiser investment
How long is your headphones cable?
2019 best usb mic for vocals?
will you review the hyperx quadcaster!!!
There is the AudioTechnica AT2021, I don't think you've reviewed it yet. ...and it's not garbage.
Mic Pre?
Holy shit you’re better at guitar than I thought
I actually preferred the Amazon Basics Dynamic Vocal Microphone, Supercardiod over the SM48. ...though I kind of prefer just about anything over the SM48 because it sounds scratchy and grating to my ears and I don't get why people like it.
But yeah, for $70 it's definitely overpriced. The Blue Encore 100 sounds way better, and can easily be found for $70 or less. It's not going to have bits and pieces falling off it either, lol.
That intro... I loved it, though I don't understand several words before WTF
I used Aussie and Kiwi slang. Haha. Strewth, Yeah Nah, Fair Dinkum.
Could not focus on the mic because … is that a Universal Audio LA610 in your rack? Please review!!!
Shhhhhhhh!!!! Secrets! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Strewth, That typing was flat out like a lizard drinking!!
I think trying some used discontinued mics might be a neat series
Oh I have plans for something along these lines. =)
@@Podcastage Yes!! I was looking at new mics for a while and watched pretty much all your videos to help. I ended up going with a used AT 3035 for like $70 and I love it
Hmm looks a bit like a FiFine super cardioid but with a silver pop grille
can you make a video on the best cheap usb mics, or a cheap xlr mic + amp (under 100)
Is it good for Beatboxing ?
Any chance you could do the Logitech G Pro X ? they partnered with Blue for the mic sotware
Well, they didn't really partner, since Blue is now "owned" by Logitech
@@MARUKU Thanks for the correction
@@MARUKU in addition to your comment, I can confidently say the microphone sounds like garbage.
@@ALazyMeme it's alright for a gaming headset. It gets the job done if you consider what it's for : in game communication and casual streaming eventually.
It's in no way a broadcasting headset
Can we get a best under 50 video
Check out some audio-technica dynamic mics. Elton John uses a one
Surprised you didn't recognize the SE V7 again.
Haha some good Aussies sayings in that intro. Silly buggers live on the bottom side of the planet and eat kangaroos too.
1:24 - I felt the disappointment... I FELT IT!!
2:05 - I sniggered at this feeble switch!
Bloody oath. Good on ya mate.
those sadW keys :c
as for the mic, I'd rather probably add $30 to be able to choose from a broader variety of better 100-dollar mics or buy a used one for the same 70 bucks that was initially priced higher and has better specs/reviews.
Can you pot a link to alex [:
We getting a show, Bois!
It is a rebranded mic. The original mic is from a brand called phonic
I've now realized that the profile pic looks like the one of IHE but greyed out.
I clicked on it thinking I would get Macleod - Local Forecast (elevator) but instead I got " *GREETINGS EAAARTHLINNHGNSS* "
Apex 747 Bandrew...MXL V900 & V900D....
review the t.bone SC 400 please :)
Look for CAD GXL2200 review on this channel, apart from cosmetic differences, it should be identical.
SWAD gamer keys has to be up soon.... #SWAD
The highs, fucking hell
I love your singing do more
Put it in .25 speed and pause at 3:55. The world became a weird red ring for a single frame.
alexa turned red for some reason
Nice review.
I thought it sounded pretty decent on your guitar amp. But I thought your voice sounded better on the cheap Shure mic.
Speaking of mic reviews...could you reach out to Thomann and get a few of their house brand mics in for review? They sell under the name t.bone and seem like pretty decent mics on the cheap.
Seventy dollars? Alexa is high as balls.
Great review of what I would call "I think I'll take a pass on this mic". Thanks Bandrew............. :)
Thought this sounded okay when you opened up but then I saw the price
Holy shit Bezos wtf are you thinking
Do reviews about mouses, keyboards, webcams, and things u need to be a UA-camr pls
So are we just gonna ignore the picture at 3:55
1:28 Lol, feels bad...
Comma supercardioid
Alctron MC001 next
You didn’t think it was bad at rejecting keyboard noise? I thought it was really poor at that.
Hi sir
I just need your opinion about my record
I know i have something wrong with it
Can you check my last 2 videos on my channel ?
I need your advice cause
You used the rode in toilet and you had quality better than mine
What should i do ?
Wish if you make tutorial bout how to process your sound for beginners
Shoulda used the amazon basics cord as well lmao
Every time someone spends 70 bucks for this mic, an angel bursts into flames.
badmiddens I spend $70 (and set an angel on fire) so you don’t have to. 🛸
@@Podcastage As always, your sacrifice is appreciated!
2:08 LMAO
I've never known this. I have an idea. Search "dynamic mic" and filter it "low to high". Review the 4$ mic lol
U look like Cheryl has kept u up all night, love you Bandrew
AmazonBasics actually has a bunch of mics, in case you want more of their stuff to review.
Dr Foxxy yeah. I’ve reviewed almost all their mics. I didn’t do the table top boundary conference microphone yet. But I think I have it.
@@Podcastage I mean I'm not saying you should, seeing how bad this one sounded on my M50x's, the rest probably won't be any better. I would like to hear you review mics on headsets more, like the Sennheiser GSP series, HyperX Cloud series, Razer Kraken, etc etc, if you haven't already of course. Headset mic reviews would pull in a lot of younger viewers who want to know how their dinky headset compares to a real mic. I have a friend who thinks his Razer Kraken mic sounds better than my ModMic 5 and nobody can convince him otherwise.
Yeah. I’ve done a few headsets on the cloud series and the kraken series. Have the gsp, but haven’t done a review yet.
@@Podcastage Well you have a good thing going with your channel, just keep up the good work I guess. Do what you want to do, don't fall in bed with any companies or it'll compromise your standing with your viewers.
are u a premature grey? :o
I’m certainly going grey. And to be clear I’m a Reptilian Elite, not a Gray. 🤣
@@Podcastage LOL
Wow... there are so many better choices at this price. Definitely wouldn’t even bother considering it.
This mix looks exactly like RadioShacks mic 🤔
1st Like Comments and View Love you sir Make a Giveaway of Microphone
What - no sticker?!
Second episode in a row without the sticker
@@RadioFreeCedarCity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Too basic to beat the Behringer XM8500 or a GLS ES57
3:54 wtf was that?
Whatever could you mean? 😁
To be honest, this microphone is very basic, not mind blowing. But well, the price is kinda high, but at least they tried.
