I Tested 25 BUDGET Microphones - Which Should You Buy?!

Hey! First of all a great comparison! What would really help though is if you would include some timestemps for each price bracket and maybe in the end compare each "winner" back to back. This would make it even easier for us to compare 😊

This was a very good comparison. And thank you for the wooden boxes for budget microphones also. Great video

Great comparison, and very thorough! Would love it if you posted the dry tracks online so we can hear them without YouTube messing with the audio. Also, at this point I wouldn’t buy a Blue mic. It’s sad, because they made some solid mics, but I’m not surprised to hear that the Spark isn’t up to snuff: ever since the Logitech acquisition they’ve been steadily declining.

totally agree with the ticks on the cover picture based on your voice and reviews🎉

This man is a beast 🔥 thanks bro, new subscriber, waiting for this, such an incredible video for all your community ❤ I knew the nt1 SS was crazy for that price.

Excellent. Always tough to measure these through YouTube's filtering. Monitoring on a TV bar, the C-80 cuts through the mix best, nice transients, but it reveals its hyped, almost sibilant character when I switched to quality cans. This is where the C214's lineage becomes evident. Full and smooth. Right choice. The under $400 category presents a difficult proposition. The SM7b is so very versatile, and a "go-to" standard for loud/dynamic vocalists, podcasting/vlogging, and so many other studio duties. The Avantone? Yes, it has the famous Taylor Swift use, similar Dolly Parton's now famous utilization of a WA-47. Tough choice. I heard noise/room with the CV-12. I thought the AT sounded great. If extra features are required, I see why it might not make your cut. Under $300 is almost impossible. The NT1, LC-440, and WA-47JR were the standouts. Too bad about Warm's QC issues. They sound great, otherwise. I found difficulty choosing between the Rode or Lewitt for sound. Both were excellent. The 440 by a hair. Under $200, forget it. Rode and be happy (or a WA-47JR when it's on sale). Thanks Edward - - nice work as always.

Have had the akg c214 for years and has never failed me

I think that the Sony c-80 suits your voice best. Sounds like there is more soul in your voice, and it has some kind of smoothness in the upper-midrange that I didn't hear from any other mic from this video. Great video btw!

Very thankful for your videos!! So knowledgeable and you explain it very well. Thank you! Very talented!

Great review! 👍 awesome content, i truly inspire to get to your level someday 😊

Great review Quality microphones with great sounding qualities dope content as usual

I really enjoyed this shootout. Also low key jelly of your singing ability. To me, the best sounding is the Icon Pro. When dialed in there’s this “feathery” sound to it. Hard to describe but like an undertone of extra texture. Great mic. Awesome video.

You are such a G, thank you so much for making this video! :) Best of wishes w/ your 300k subscriber goal!

what is the recording soft ware u used to make these videos please and thank you😁

Great to compare for each price category

I really like your videos! Clean quality, directly and fun to wach

WTF The Sony C 80 sounds so crisp without being harsh. Best Mic out of them 🔥🔥

I’ve been looking at the WA-14 as well. Should I go with the WA-14 or avantone cv-12? Both are same exact prices I just can’t find anything that compares the two

Sound wise I agreed with all of your choices. The LCT 240 though would be my second choice under $200 sound wise on your voice.

Beautifully comparison ❤❤❤
