Blindfolded Budget Microphone Showdown!

Описание к видео Blindfolded Budget Microphone Showdown!

How much of an impact does brand and price have on our perception of sound quality? Let’s find out with a blindfolded sound test between two well known microphones and two budget mics. All 4 mics were run through the Rodecaster Pro with no EQ, presets, or effects added. Thank you @HeatherJustCreate for helping to run this test!

Mics tested in this video

•Pyle PDMic78

•Neewer NW-800

(And to be fair, in my video test of the Neewer, the results were much better, especially after adding in a bit of EQ. It’s definitely the worst sounding mic of this bunch, but I think it generally does sound better than it did in this test. I’m beginning to think mine is defective because it sounds worse every time I use it 🤔). Here’s the full video:    • I Bought The Cheapest Microphone I Co...
