[@hamzaelhanafi2784]

Think Media all the budget gear u have recommended, are bought: cannon vixia hf R800, takstar sgc 598

[@GamingUpToDateNP]

can i get that microphone or any webcam from you for my live stream gmail : [e-mail]

[@SeanDIY]

I have the Takstar on my Nikon D3200 DSLR. I also use the Zoom H4N and use some cartiod mics into it and dump the Takstar audio in some cases. I also got the Boya lav you recommended a while back.

[@scotttovey]

I have a Samson R21S plugged into my camera. It's a dynamic mic and very directional, but that also means it won't pick up a lot of background noise like condenser mics do. It gives much better sound than the on board mic and the lapel mic that came with the camera. I think I paid between $20 and $30 for it at best buy a few years back.

[@MrUnbox]

Great video. Thanks

[@gerbruggeman4180]

for quick a-b-c-comparison: 0:55 sennheiser avx 1:28 saramonic sr-hm4c 3:24 boya by-wmh8

[@TaylorTimeTv]

Thank you!

[@FrancisMaxino]

The plosives on all those first microphones are through the roof with even c or k consonants, the Boya cuts plosives really well and is definitely the best in that respect even better than the Sennheiser !

[@MAROHANG-GANGA]

YES!

[@SamCarLegion]

Used both Sean, Saramonic is the best choice so far.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

👊⚡💯

[@iam.jasonhoward]

I love the Saramonic mic. I used it at PAX East.

[@SeanDIY]

Saramonic sounds better in my opinion. Would be great to have a back and forth comparison, but great.

[@loyalmanny]

I got that thanks to your comment @seans

[@scotia807]

I just bought the Boya BY-WXLR8. I used the ol BY-WM6 receiver. The frequencies are not compatible but if you set the old receiver to 43 and the transmitter to 48 it works just fine. You have to check the frequencies and set them to the same regardless of the channels. I understand there are two versions of the BY-WM6 and the older one is not going to work directly with the newer system. I plugged it into my old Azden handheld DX-585 mic and it really sounds very good. It might be a suggestion to those that have an ol handheld and don't want to buy a new wireless mic system.

[@SeanDIY]

Saramonic sounded better than Boya. I do like the Boya lav mics. I have both the single and dual lav mics (wired ones).

[@CheesyDoesItCooking]

Just bought Takstar SGC-598. so far so good

[@brandonlkm15]

Personally I have the Boya Wireless set. I use mine with the provided clip on lav mic. the sound is pretty decent but I notice it clips if the gains are set too high. its better to set it at a lower gain and edit it in post later.

[@tallontedvideoandtechsolutions]

You would recommend the Boya set then? I am considering it as I dont feel like shelling out too much

[@LiakourasMomentz]

Man great video and you are awesome talking with so much people passing and watching around ! ;)

[@Kreative_Rainbow]

Listening to it over a smartphone the quality was very similar. Perhaps a bit more "tinny" at times with the first one. But also older ears here, so may not pick up all areas of sound. They were both better at eliminating the background noise than the double lapel mic yesterday.

[@MannyVegaNieves]

I like the comparison done here, since it gives us choices based on the needs of the individual. But more importantly. I like how you objectively describe them, without leaning towards one or the other.

[@wilsonautodetailing]

Hey Sean, quick question, because I am not a tech or audio guy: If I were to be interviewing someone, and wanted to use a mic here, obviously I would have to purchase 2, but would I have both of them going to their designated receiver, and just shoot with my canon 80d? Im not even sure that that is the right way to ask the question but maybe you get it. Also, could you suggest some lavalier mics that you like and suggest for interviews as well? Maybe hook me up with some affiliate links for you

[@PierceWellnessCenter]

To my ears in this test I thought the Boya had the best overall quality sound with the Sennheiser second and the Saramonic a distant 3rd. Both the Sennheiser and Saramonic suffered with significant P popping and the Saramonic was cutting out at times. This says nothing about build quality and dependability but an interesting real world test. Another great video! Thanks Sean!

[@Ethan-Wallace]

PierceWellnessCenter does the boys pickup a lot of background noise? Like if you’re a t a concert of loud events ??

[@theevagoetzeshow]

Just sent your info over to a friend and he loooooves your stuff! Keep it up!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks Eva! 🙏💯

[@caseysgarage5991]

I really like the sound of the boya, and I almost never even need a mic like this, so I can definitely save a little longer for the better mic

[@dennispeaks]

Hey Sean, thanks for your awesome content and helping so many us figure out which is the best choice for us. How does the Comica CVM-WM200(A) 96-Channel Full Metal UHF Professional Wireless Dual Lavalier Microphone System compare to the Boya and Saramonic you tested? Thanks.

[@DynamicLearning4u]

Thank you for doing this! I would never pick up a mic that gets cut off when your body is turned away!

[@CHAMBALPRABHA]

We can connect with Samsung Android Mobile...please tell

[@shakenbake9683]

Did you find anything about it?

[@MarkHoltze]

Nothing beats nice clean audio! The handheld mics are an oldie, but a goodie! Nice work Sean

[@mrtnjohnson4322]

Yo subscribe to my channel i make videos ❤

[@MarkHoltze]

So do I ;)

[@lolegacyyy]

Thanks for this video Sean! love your channel! For the people that bought either can you give your recommendations as well? I think I am leaning towards the saramonic.

[@carenetwork7]

I like the Saramonic but can you use it with a Gopro camera?

[@riotv183]

Thanks for your updates on these microphones 🎤 I am definitely gonna try to get one I think I would try the Boya

[@WinnerSingh]

Which mic is good for iPhone 📱

[@Kriol75]

Which one of the microphone can I use with iPhone?🙏🏿🙏🏿

[@andrewdelacalzada2742]

Thank you for this Think Media!

[@HarrisonFamilyValues]

I use the Saramonic UwMic15A Got it a couple months ago paid $180 for it.

[@fagegame8995]

Hi Sean! Can you make a video about the best cheapest camcorders on Amazon? Like Kimire 3051STRW, Besterker, Panasonic, Canon can you please make a video about that? I'm planning to buy a camcorder for under $200 thanks! I hope you read this

[@markpomykala1993]

For wireless, they're pretty good but I'd go with a Rode Reporter with an XLR to 3.5 cable - The mic will run you $120 on amazon and the cable is about $10

[@ElohimWorshiping]

Hello , I want to start recording on the street with a microphone but no chords with a cheap price do you know which one I could use ?

[@namanplayz21]

Nice bro you and your team is awesome☺️☺️

[@ThinkMediaTV]

🙏💛💯

[@marketingopswill2738]

can we get a new version of this

[@VoiceDrew]

You're popping your plosives in the Saramonic. Sounds great for just a C-Note. Less popping in the Boya.

[@MAROHANG-GANGA]

You're absolutely right.

[@MannyVegaNieves]

Awesome video and amazing content. Thank you for introducing two great products.

[@2TEN90]

That both spund great for the price. Is there a way to connect the reciever into a smart phone? Cheers and great stuff!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

2TEN90 Brewing yes! Grab a RODE sc4

[@2TEN90]

Great thanks!

[@bharattelevision]

Can it directly connect with mobile phone...???

[@TexpatOTG]

More plosives with the Saramonic ... I like the Boya HM100 ... great for use with a Tascam DR10x. I don't see 600 bucks difference in the sound quality of the Boya and Senheiser, I think I would choose the Boya over any of the 3.

[@ImagineScent]

I was just about to research mic! Lol Thanks Sean.

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You're welcome - good timing! 😎👊💯

[@NeraStudio]

Thank for the information, I bought the Saramonic WM4CA in amazon unfortunately it was the worst mic i ever had I tested with iphone 6 and sony a6500 so i returned it to amazon and yesterday I bought the WLX-PRO+i in b&h I decide to go with this because two months i tested and works good with mobiles ... Last week i left a comment on one of your videos about vidiq but I haven’t signed up yet My question is can i close any time i want if it doesn’t like me?

[@AtypicalPaul]

Very useful stuff :) your mic sounds great!

[@amer_my]

Dear are the batteries or the mic can be charged?

[@Luxwarp]

Really liked the second one actually :D

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Thanks for the comment!

[@GRANDONGROUP]

Will any of these handheld mic work with the iPhone max pro

[@nanoobhai636]

All Videos from your channel are awesome and loved we want to know that which camera is being used in this video ?? @Think Media hoping for your quick reply thanks

[@phillipsphotography]

How do I use two wireless handheld mikes on one camera for interview? Please suggest available products, Thanks

[@jay-len7661]

the handheld microphone is is cool and a cool channel

[@OneManOneCamera]

02:30 - You're a nice guy as I probably would have tried to interview the chap sitting down. 😂😂

[@ranjanajaiswal5982]

Been a while since you uploaded !

[@jeandenishaas]

Good timing! Was looking for a mic that would eliminate surrounding noise. I was thinking about recording something in my car and this could work nicely since I'm barely hearing the show floor noise.

[@caseysgarage5991]

Jean-Denis Haas I record in my car all the time. I use a lapel mic, and it works well, plus, it keeps both hands free to drive.

[@jeandenishaas]

Casey's Garage Yeah, I tried that Boya lapel mic and it picked up so much ambient noise from the rode. I was thinking about mounting this mic, unless it had to be super close to the mouth?

[@caseysgarage5991]

Jean-Denis Haas you should check out a few of my videos, I use a neewer lapel mic, and I actually have an affiliate link with Amazon on my review video. Anyway, I use it in my car and my motorcycle helmet. Once more, it was a three pack for five dollars, so I was pretty happy with it

[@jeandenishaas]

Casey's Garage Will do! Thanks!

[@TerritorioDeportivo]

creo que el saramonic se escucha mejor que el boya, pero se corta el audio con la distancia con el saramonic

[@aaronromero7723]

Nice video. Quick question . If i wan to plug in a wireless mic to a mixer then to my DSLR is that possible, wireless mic to a mixer then send the sound to the receiver so I can get clean sound? Thank u

[@ThinkMediaTV]

I think that would possible ... you just a need a cable from the mixer to the DSLR. Or are you trying to do everything wireless?

[@aaronromero7723]

Think Media Thank you for ur respond. And yes I am trying to do wireless. Just like in your video but getting the sound from the mixer. That way that person don't need to have the wireless mic. Thanks

[@tjwalkup7155]

your AVX sounds the best, consider now the Rode wireless Go II on a stick.... still budget but a little more. I thought the budget ones you had were ok and would do the trick in a pinch. Quick test is not enough really it would have to be put through paces in many environments to be a really good test.

[@ifilmstuff4070]

Whats a good Steadicam for a cheap price for mirror less cameras please reply, thanks

[@tinnochauke]

hey think media l would like to purchase the Saramonic l have a question though does it work with the Sony mirrorless cameras thank you for the video .

[@idontknowtrey6261]

What is a good gimbal or tripod that can hold the microphone adapter and light source ???

The Boya has a nice sound!!

[@elie-gabriel8447]

Hello what is the best computers for video editing and to manage a KZbin channel?

[@H0bby_Adventure]

Awesome video. Love the real life, live testing you did. Helps ppl know what their buying before they buy. Do you know if it’s possible to use a boya hand held mic with the Mailada UHF lavalier lapel mic receiver? They are both UHF base frequencies and have multiple channels. but can they work together?

[@АняЕмельянова-ы9ц]

have BY-WHM8 Pro microphone and BY-WM6 Reciever but they do not connect... how did you do it?

[@monster410]

2:32 hello random chinese sir :D

[@lonelyprepperhomestead911]

Sean ... Was there also a dual channel receiver available for either of those mics?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Lonely Prepper Homestead yes - Saramonic offers one

[@popjunior113]

One question: I put videos on my channel and nothing growing. Is this possible because the first year KZbin wants me to grow my audience with my friend and relatives from outside KZbin ? Maybe that’s a strategy they use to grow KZbin with more subscribers. What you think?

[@valeravahue]

BY-WHM8 Shuffle by hand, what to do?

[@Iamjordanhendrix]

Hey with the saramonic microphone if i were to buy two would they both be able to connect to the receiver And both work while out on the field

[@ToddDragonflyHikerBeal]

preferred the Boya of the 2 choices

[@SoutheastTexas-WilliamTJRealty]

Great info, thanks

[@kyleiselohim]

Hey thanks for inviting me to see the video. I made a short clip just saying Thanks. Keep up the great content

[@fly_with_xcz5060]

That intro makes me dance! XD

[@ranjanajaiswal5982]

Is there any budget shotgun at nab ?

[@ThinkMediaTV]

Yes - check out shotgun mics from BOYA and Saramonic - they both have some budget options!

[@ranjanajaiswal5982]

Think Media will sure check it out :)

[@grafinxgaming]

Audio is key and most of the times the price of good mics aren't that cooperative. But this is super amazing.....👊🍍😉 Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed and liked ⭐

[@lookingtomakeadifferencewi2340]

is there a way to connect receiver to an XLR Beach Tech mixer?

[@TheShabazzProduction]

Lots of booming noise on that Saramonic poor wind screen? Boya has less low frequency noise.

[@trulifepromo]

Hey! Really need some help. Im after an interview mic and the two I’m currently looking at are the Rode Reporter Mic (to go with all my other rode gear) or the audio technica at8004L. Which is the best between those please? Pros and cons?

[@DustinVang]

I was actually looking for some of these for our worship service! thanks a lot!

[@ThinkMediaTV]

You're welcome Dustin - happy to help!

[@LPMOVIESTVSofficial]

very cool

[@adamcadby]

Røde Wireless Go is also a great wireless mic.

[@erikpratama6039]

since the video title is budget "handheld" mic comparison between "boya & saramonic", it definitely exclude anything else outside the criteria, isn't it?

[@adamcadby]

@@erikpratama6039 I think ppl should know about the rode mic which I'd prefer over these 2 mic any day of the week. Which is why i left the comment earlyee. You do have a super good point tho! :)

[@theguyinthehelmet1875]

saramonic sounds best of all three... considering the price point... :) and just a tip, i swear i heard multiple times you said 'fake media' when you actually said 'think media'. Perhaps it was just the mics but I thought you might want to know about this from the viewer's perspective...

[@bolivianbillionaire1349]

that's what i heard too ....'fake media' ...

[@ponchopete]

I really like the rode smartLAV+. It doesn't break the bank too much. It's 54€

[@JonRivero]

Do you know if boya handheld mic works witch comica wn-200 receiver?
