This mic is very nice, but at its price point I'm a little bit worried about it. You can get an NT1, 440 PURE, WA-47Jr even..depending if you want it for spoken word of course. Love the fact its accessories are pretty effective, too - I'm not used to that.

I think this mic is amazing for its price. It would prefer it over NT1. NT1 has a bit of harshness somewhere in the high frequencies while this one is pretty smooth and pleasant to hear but has enough of presence at the same time. Works really good with guitars, gives smooth and pleasant tone, treats well that squeaky guitar solo.

I don't love very many Beyer products but this one has a special something in the mids that other 'very fine indeed' microphones like NT1 lack. It has life. If you subtracted some of its low end beef it has an engaging mids character not very far away from the ... (ahem) Neumann.

Bandrew, I don't quite understand your objection to treble. I listened to the NT1 comparisons several times. I have the opposite impression - the NT1 has a bit more sibilants. Yes, the sibilants in Beyerdynamic are audible here, but they are not irritating and do not sting your ears. There is a velvety in this microphone typical of the best German microphones.

You just cost me 160 uk pounds! OK that was a good deal for this Mike but I purchased it solely on this review. So when I come to use it I will either love or hate you! What really impressed me about the review was how you went back to the beyer after testing each of the other Mikes so you could get a good comparison. I like others, though, thought it was most similar to the rode nt1. They seemed to have a more mellow rounded sound. The others including the mighty u87 appeared to get a bit hissy on the s sounds, maybe it was just me. I was listening through beyer headphones though so maybe there's a bit of manufacturers allegiance going on. Great review thanks.

The M90 Pro X does have a decent sound, but I do have to say that the higher amount of resonance as well as the poor off axis and background noise rejection is certainly a strike against it. If you're doing anything other than standard spoken word acting I feel you really have to make sure the room is treated really well for rejecting reverberating sounds and echo, or it'll definitely affect the recording. The shock mount did a good (but not great) job of rejecting noise from the boom arm and the pop filter did a great job with the plosives, so no complaints about that part of the kit. But for the price range I think you can do better than the M90 Pro X as far as the mic goes.

I liked the M90 ProX more than all the mics up to the KSM32, which sounded as good or better. Compared to all the previous mics, the M90 Pro X had more low-end which flatters your voice, and less sibilance than all of them. The KSM32 sounded a bit different, but still great. As much as I try, I can't hear $3k in the U87 ai. It never sounds noticeably better than the other mics in the comparisons.

Amazing review as always, Bandrew! I am time and again amazed at how clearly you show the differences between mics. I agree with the bite and top end from this mic, it reflects the freq response curve and sounds a bit like a "smiley EQ" (compare to u87 which is much more neutral), which is kind of a coloring or fixed processing. To me, this thing is clearly tuned for (hyped) voice, but I think it excells at that and it'll suit many different voices. Agree with the bad noise rejection - you can even hear the flutter echo in your untreated test! One question: Why no comparison to SM-7b? Imho the target group of these two mics is quite similar.

Personally I hate the sound of this without the pop filter. It's just too nasaly and harsh. It was similar to the king bee but that sounded better on the lower end and costs significantly less. The U87 of course just sounds amazing and clean and I could listen to that all day, not so much the M90 Pro X. It did seem to excel more with the acoustic guitar at least.
