5 Mic Shootout - Which Sounds Best?

Audio
Written By Torsten Dettlaff

Blind Mic Test

In this video I’m testing five of the microphones that I own. The mics differ in design and purpose so we’re not really comparing apples with apples here but I’m still interested to know which mic you prefer the sound of.

These mics range in price from about £30 up to £700. Can you really hear £670 worth of difference between them? Maybe you actually prefer the £30 mic.

Which is Which?

I don’t discuss which mic is which in the video and if you’ve been looking for that on YouTube, you’ll hopefully have ended up on this page.
