I was surprised how much I preferred the Shure 57 and the MXL 770 overall. I have a tendency toward bright sound possibly.

I Just bought a akg 214, I Just had anxiety all along your video 😂😂 but I chose right!! 🎉🎉 I love the sound

[@alexpalumbo1335]

Oh and I also get all of them right ❤

[@cgmason]

I think the MXL 770 (mic A) sounded the best on everything except for the vocals, where I preferred the AKG C214 (mic B) thanks for the comparison!

[@Zampan0]

I agree with you but I think the vocals were the best of the four too.

[@praveenkumar-wi3ej]

MXL770 sounded good to me

[@銅鑼衛門-d9o]

meeeee tooooooo

[@davidplatt5957]

Same.

[@ZipSnipe]

assuming that the MXL was C then yes I agree

[@garfeeble]

seems people like the mxl770. glad i picked that one in a whim while searching amazon

[@JunkyardSam]

To my ears all the mics sound good, just different. I own an MXL770 and I've been impressed by the performance for the price, although I do miss the AKGc3000b mic which I sold long ago. I feel like that old AKG was a classic, at least to me.

[@jaapbadlands]

While listening it was evident A was my favourite, followed by D, C, B. The MXL had a nice full response across the spectrum, good plosive control and overall sounded the most polished. AKG sounded like it missed some midrange and was tinny at the higher range, actually sounded pretty good comparatively on the vocals, but wouldn't use on guitars. The 58 had stronger midrange and the 57 was pretty even across the spectrum too but lacked the sparkle that the 770 does. The MXL is only 175 aud and this pretty much convinced me to get one.

[@dadalonglegs]

Definitely buying Mic A

[@stanmanmedia]

I have it and used it only a bit, the 770, but this video makes me want to use it more.

[@stanmanmedia]

I have that one, the 770, and while it's much less expensive than the AKG and it has higher noise floor than AKG, I also preferred it much more!

[@zvaramiro]

On acoustic mxl770 was the best,followed by sm57 On fingered akg c214 folowed by sm57 On clean guitar sm57 was the best On distorzion also sm57,mxl770 was second On Vocals Akg214,sm57 was also great!

[@benabel886]

[@engenbordo8376]

1. Mxl 770. 2. Sm 57 3.sm58 4. Akg 214 For me... from best to worst... Mxl overall win

[@alrodri7695]

Mxl and sm57

[@Zampan0]

C and D sound identical to me, A is close to C & D. B is a different animal.

[@TheVistastube]

Great video thanks. I want to buy Mic A, which is it?

[@SHUNSICA]

MXL770

[@praveenkumar-wi3ej]

Go for MXL770

[@phillipzx3754]

Because I've used both for 40+ years, I'll take the 57 or 58 over the other two any day of the week.

[@stanmanmedia]

With no experience with those Shures, for my ears the 57 was much better sounding over the 58, and one of best in the group.

[@grian8837]

好奇你有沒有用防噴？

[@ohio_dino]

C was harsh to my ears.

[@ohio_dino]

In the second test
