    Your newer format for these videos is a big improvement. I liked seeing your old studio and all the mics, but being close to the camera, and having the couch/lights behind you looks great.

      I agree that his setup/studio is looking pretty slick these days. Bark's straight forward candor has always been a winner in my book.

      Yeah it’s good enough for sure. I like the idea of dropping 10 or 15 bucks more for a solid metal mic, but I would make some videos with this if I had to! Thanks for watching another one!

    Who needs a SM7 when you got that!? You should just randomly record parts of videos with it and see if anyone notices the edits with the hot pink plastic mic.

    This mic definitely looks like something you can easily recommend to someone who doesn't have one.
    Although that fifine headset will probably be king for those who also don't have headphones. They really ought to make an analog version of those.

    I was about to pull the trigger on the "Singing Machine Karaoke Microphone SMM205P" and what happens??? ... 💥BAM 💥 BARK happens... in he swoops with the review... that is one possibility of how this story could have gone anyway. LOL. Seriously... I have heard a whole lot worse for a lot more $$$. I would even venture to say that it sounded decent n the video. It is leaps and bounds better than the Dollar General Mic that you reviewed at a substantial price difference and on that basis it represents a real bargain... and maybe in that case point a higher score on the BBSAR. Did I REALLY just say that?????.. WOW... LOL That being said I would rather save up a little more $ and go for the Behringer XM8500 or save a little more the Fifine K669D (for the current bargain price ultimate win.) Like you said in the headphones is seems to be a different animal and I trust your opinion and your rating. Looking forward to what is next.

    Not bad at all! i bought a mic in Five Below for FIVE TIMES the price and it sounded like crap. I would really recommend this for a beginner/newbie because it sounds great! Im new to the mic world but still i think this mic for 2 bucks its really good! I give it a 6.5 out of 10

      If it were a heavier plastic I may have went higher. I just can’t help but think saving the 3 bucks and grabbing a used metal dynamic on eBay for 10-15 is the way to go. But it did SOUND passable for sure. I also have a 5 below mic I haven’t done yet!

    OK, it's not high fidelity. But, it does work, and for $2 that's all you can expect. I expect the weird sound in your phones was due to the mic being reverse-phased.

    Can't even get the plastic packaging for $2.23. No Skizzers. Pretty good Hogan impression. Guess they couldn't afford to put the cement inside the body. Plosives were like a SDC. An unbalanced plastic mic, sounds like it needs some phantom power... lol.
