I dont know if this was said on this video but i was totally blown away by your singing voice, it is so distinct and i suppose cozy describes it best. just wow.

[@sharenwinar620]

What song do you sing? It is a nice song

[@Mulu_ig]

Mxl 770 sounds great, but AT2020 too. I'm still wondering what mic I should choose 🤔

[@DCSTVOFFICIAL]

Bro the Singing Through me off right there, i was like wait a minute this dude actually sounds good so good that i forgot i was watching a review of the mics instead i was like where the hell is the FULL SONG. DAmn bro U got hella Skills no Joke

[@BonafideToolJunkie]

I own MXL 770 condenser mic. Couldn't be more pleased with its performance. Used an electronic tester on my amps phantom power. 24 volts is sufficient to power MXL 770 just fine.

[@KGCaviteCrips2010]

Good day sir Which is better for RAP ?? AT2020 , SAMSON CO1 or MXL 770 ?? I cant decide which is condenser mic fit for rapping .. any suggestion plss. thankyou . im from Philippines sir.

[@lesparza214]

MXL 770 is perfect for rapping. Let me know what you got.

[@viveksutar8499]

Thank you dear..... 👍👍👍at 2020 is best for me.....

[@UDMechE]

There's a definite background hiss (high noise floor) with the Samson, which is why I've retired mine to the back of a shelf. Mixing either spoken or singing vocals, or even guitar, required too much noise removal which took away the highs from the recording. I've been using the MXL 770 for a little while now with much better results.

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Yeah, the MXL is a better option as well in my opinion 👌🏼

[@DarioToledo]

IMHO the AT 2020 best suits higher pitched voices, like yours indeed. It's likely too soft for a baritone like me if one is looking for some harmonics (again, like me), but I'd have to try it personally.

[@alfonsbarcelon]

Hi there! I've been deciding which one to get, I'm only using a pf8 to eliminate room floor noise. I don't know which mic should I get for doing youtube covers: 1. AT2020 2. MXL 770 3. AKG P120 I hope you can help me with this one. Thanks in advance!

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I would probably go with the Audio Technica, but I will be doing a comparison of those microphones is the future so stay tuned for that!

MXL sounds better to me. Great review 🎙🎤

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Thanks for watching!!

[@djbozay8156]

I own a Samson C01 and I wanted to upgrade to the AT2020. But I needed to see if it was worth the upgrade. I think its really not that big of an upgrade when It comes to the sound. I think I can save a little more and get something above this price point. This video was so helpful. Thank you so much.

[@nikhilthapa9300]

at2020 seems to have a bit of high boost compared to samson co1 but when you know how to eq, I don't think it's worth upgrading.

[@bjbell52]

IMHO all 3 sound very good for a budget microphone. -

[@lance134679]

Amazing what you can get for very little money these days. The Samson C01 was the first condenser mic I bought back in around '03. I think there are better options these days, and in this shootout, I preferred the 770. With these prices, you could buy all three, try them out for a while, then sell the ones that didn't make the cut on Reverb :-) Good singing, and thanks for the video.

Bit dumb putting background music over the top of a mic review when ppl want to assess the mic quality. Why did you feel it needed bgm?

[@znbh]

MADLAD! i was wondering about a comparison video like this! next time can you talk about great mics for guitars? i’m thinking about getting an sE V7 while i use my procaster for vocals, but i’m not entirely sure of whether that would be the best choice. be interested to hear what you’ve got to say :D

[@OyeeVivek]

Is AKGp120 good for beginner as compared to ath2020.?

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

Yes, it's great for beginners!

[@cellulosefdr]

None of these mics are good....go for the MXL V67G, or 990 over the 770, neat worker bee, or AKG P120 if u don't have a budget, but seriously get a budget and buy the next level up Rode NT-1, Stellar X2, MXL V69M, or AKG P220 u won't be disappointed

mic 770 sounds best with music...wow

[@EdwardSmithMusic]

I agree!!

[@xeximaxi]

i can tell by compare on my linear monitors. i decided to buy 770. audiotechnica sounds harsh and like much sibilance sounds - samson sounds kind of boxy with harsh mids but overall nice tone ftw. 770 is winner.

[@MadDoggEntertainment]

Great video as always bro, but honestly for this price point I would recommend the AKG P120, because of its frequency response. It’s relatively flat with a slight boost in the air region, where the three of these are really lumpy and inconsistent and don’t really boost in the right areas. For the same price, I definitely think it’s one that’s worth looking into.

[@mrpudikin]

really cool singing.. Thanks for the video

[@stephennuno4773]

I like the mxl better than audio technica but if you realy notice it , the Samson mic has a subtly less boxy sound to the mxl but I think it has to do to the vocals just being somewhat less structured or richer sound overall to the vocals almost like its a bit tiny, not in volume but in overall eq structure , kina like when they use lower ohm in headphones to simulate better sound as it peaks harder and in this case not doing so, for what it is in eq and bass for a particular driver if that makes any sense , the sound with the technica having a little bit boxy sound, not by to much more but still more than the other 2 , to just ears anyways ,other than that , I do like the overall sound of mxl although the techina has a bit more clarity it may seem or mabey it just may be that it is less warmer 😀
