Really nice comparison. The ‘what do they invite’ exercise is brilliant. (Which I guess is really Mr. Manual in another form.) I’m so happy I’ve found your youtube channel, though I just watch the mic comparisons. Big up your good self.
I have sold for both German manufacturers and still do for one of them. The lack of low end in the Sennheiser is likely to be intentional because if you’re really loud and need to close mic for level, lows interfere with intelligibility. One certainly couldn’t use the beyerdynamic close without really rolling off the bottom end because the proximity effect would kill you. If I didn’t need to use it close, I’d go with the beyerdynamic. It sounds more natural. So that’s an application issue. I recently had the opportunity to A/B the beyerdynamic V70 with the less expensive cardioid V50. Cardioids are more feedback prone but better if you need vocalists to share a mic because of a broader front pickup angle. Tonally, I could not tell the difference, and I was listening through an excellent live powered loudspeaker in a quiet room. It was seriously surprising how identical they were. If you don’t need the tighter polar pattern or if you need to mix both patterns on a stage, look at the V50.
A very fun comparison, as always. I like the humming and ohm exercise (3rd one I think historically). As a sax player, I am more into instrument mics, but if in the future you get your hands on RE20 I would be very interested, perhaps if compared to the SV33, Rodes or the top dynamics/ribbons you have access to (Beyers/Sennheisers).
I've tried the lower-priced Sennheiser dynamics: I found the 945 had far too much high end for me, lots of sibilance, pops, very breathy - ie it shows clearly how poor my technique is. Hence I prefer the 845. I found the 835 muted, and the 935 similar to the 945, but the 845 is the sweet spot for my voice and ability.
Got it to-day! From the Czech republic. For some reason they included a frequency curve for a serial number different from that of my microphone. Seems very sloppy! And there was no 3/8” to 5/8” adapter in the holder, which always tends to make me a little grumpy. Well, all in all I'm not too dissatisfied, as it was quite inexpensive and the delivery was prompt. But it’s clearly a microphone that’ll take some getting used to. I really like it up close.
After using a lot of microphones i chose Beyerdynamic TGV-71 and Sennheiser Md431 II..Also Audio-Technica ATM-710 when i dont have a drummer on the stage!
Thanks for the comparison Anton! I am curious how EV ND96 compares to this trio (If you have heard it as it is intended for a similar application) and which of these performs best at a 15 to 20 cm distance from a person’s lips? Thanks again!
@@zvaramiro Thank you! Also, I think that the model with the reduced proximity effect that Anton referenced is actually the TG-V71 that you chose, so he remembers correctly! For whatever reason that model doesn't seem widely promoted in the US, but I am certain it is very good like all of the Beyerdynamic microphones! Aside from the bass response was it tonally very similar to the TG-V70? Cheers!
I ned a mic for flute , hamonica and singing. Nothing . I'm in between Shure beta a 58 and Sennheiser e945. Had a Shure sm 58 before ( got stolen) , it worked fine but would like one of these.Thanks in advance for any answer.
Good review mate..! I`m always surprised how flat and muffled the shure 58 & bets 58 mics sound. IMO there are many superior mics out there to the so called industry standard shure mics.
Yes, by a very long shot, I have all three (and the TG X60 that precedes the V70d)... the Sennheiser and Shure don’t get a look in. I’ve kept them for people who specifically want to use them but everybody seems to gravitate towards the Beyer mics, and for good reason, they sound fabulous and they feel great in the hand too due to their substantial build/size. If I had to pick a wireless version though, it’d be the Sennheiser, they just do wireless better than anyone else (I do actually have an EW345).
Really nice comparison.

Man I love listening to your voice!
Many thanks.
Very educative review. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, my pleasure.

Exactly what I found with the 945. Great sound otherwise, so very sad.
Thanks, this is thoughtful and well done!
Many thanks.
I just have to get that Beyerdynamic!

Very Complete. review! Thanks

EV ND96 is great for close singing,at that distance TG-V70 will be the best option imo..

Found the video I wanted !
Thank you

Have you tried the Rode M2 or M3 for this price range? I also like the beta 57a more than the 58a so far as shures are concerned.
Would like to see Beyerdynamics v70 vs Sennheiser e965 vs Earthworks sr40
I'll see what I can do.
@@AntonBrowne thank you I love your Channel is very informative and smooth review gracias ‘’Maestro’’ amigo from Canada
Nice review. Can you please do review of The t.bone MB85 Beta?
Explain a Elvis Presley Voice on the mics he used !
Beyerdynamic V70d liked it more
It would be my choice too.
tg v70 d win all the way!

In case it matters to your audience: all three of these microphone manufacturers are still family owned.
Or A Tom Jones or a Englebert Humperdinck Vocalist !!!
I'm shure disappointed with the beta 58.
no need disappointed because beta58 is much cheaper price than another two....
i'm disappointed for the945 , because the tgv70d is cheaper price than 945 , but better than it.....
@@新世紀新人類 In my part of the world the beta58 and the V70d are about the same price.
@@skakdosmer but in my place,the beta 58a (made in china now), is much cheaper than the v70d( made in german)....
