[@faironeentertainmentllc428]

watched a few of your video on dynamic mics. I enjoy them because you're testing is practical! Thank you.

[@Podcastage]

Thanks man! really appreciate that.

[@thatdudeluci1839]

I own a Shure 58s and was given this mic as a gift. this review, as well as your Shure review definitely have helped before I have even plugged this in, thanks! Definitely seems like a for looks mic, but seems to have okay quality for a cheap "for show" mic

[@singmotownstreetkaraoke8962]

Thanks for the review! I ordered it, in spite of its flaws, because it was perfect for doing karaoke! It "makes" singers want to sing, because of the look and I don't have to fret over damage to an expensive piece of equipment . The mic will stay on its stand to avoid handling, which is very noisy, being plastic & all. But it's what I expected, for the price, anyway. Just leave the supplied 1/4" cord in the package and use an XLR cord. That's with ANY microphone. I'm certain that your use of adapters take away from its analog performance and is causing the noise, as well. The pick-up was surprisingly nice and will allow up to 3 singers to stand in front of the mic, and be heard. I'm very please and will probably get another one! Get it because it's economic and serves its purpose, aesthetics. If you want the real deal, get the Shure Super 55 ($250).

[@gannondorf1926]

Another great video man :D

[@21kpatriot]

Nice review, thanks! Nice Valvetronix too, I have the same one and LOVE it! The amp that is.

[@Podcastage]

+21kpatriot Yeah. It's my Apartment amp. I love the versatility of it and the fact that it's pretty quiet. Can't use an Orange Rockerverb & 4x12 in an apartment complex.

[@APUGuru]

Wish I could like this video twice. One for the Rick and Morty shirt, and another for the usual high quality video. Keep up the awesome work. I bought the PDMIC58 because of your recommendation. Managed to get it for 11 bucks before the price jumped to the 16 dollars it is now.

[@Podcastage]

+asdf4455Gamez Yeah I noticed that after I made the video...The price jumped. Oh well. Still a REALLY affordable mic.

[@APUGuru]

+Podcastage by the way, have you thought about reviewing the ATR-2100? I noticed it's not on the list and I see it recommended everywhere for a beginner podcast.

[@Podcastage]

asdf4455Gamez I should be reviewing it later this month (if I can find money to buy it. HA!)

[@Thearcherfl]

Damn the intro highlighted the plosive issue quick. Thanks for the video!

[@Podcastage]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@johnm.gerard1718]

Thank You for the video. I love that you went over every question I had. You went over Off Rejection, thumbs up. You played the guitar,. Sang. I listened to the Video on my new Apple Homepod speakers(2 of them), from the Apple 4K TV. I think the mic sounds good, Good off axis rejection. I can't here any Hiss on my end. It might not have that deep sound of a Hyle PR40 but over all for the price I think it sounds great. And looks great, too. My mic is the Silver version. My mic also feels all mettle not plastic. I don't know if mine is a later model. I am looking around for a table top stand. Any suggestions? And how do you connect this mic to a stand? Since both the SLR and mic connections come out the bottom.

[@zackpowermusic]

Jeez you must be a beast at mixing because this is the best sounding 55 i've heard on youtube, and i've got the metal version

[@ScottConverse]

How about reviewing this one? Monoprice Memphis Blue Classic Dynamic Microphone

[@Sam-qm4ku]

Woah! you only have near 17,000 subs? YOU DESERVE WAY MORE.

[@Podcastage]

Thanks so much man. Slowly growing. =) Really appreicate that!

[@DJItaloxalnatural]

I just wanted to buy it for it's looks, for props. you can tell it's a cheap mic like you showed us, but for props it great, specially because of the price, which by the way its 21 bucks now on amazon

[@besmart8581]

is the ALCTRON DK 1000 good microphone give me an advice plz ?

[@qmechkeys]

I got the BM-700 + Sabrent USB adapter for my friend

[@insanejughead]

One person called his bluff and gave this a thumbs down... XD I loved the honesty in this review.

[@Soberse]

Great video as always my man!

[@paulaustin3949]

you look like a good guitar player as well ...ibought a neewer 980 set and it totally is clean but when im jerking it around and huffing and puffing in it it shuts off then comes on slow so for now i just keep my mouth back from it but thinking of a pyle dynamic mic

[@SteveMingsFlutemaker]

I use the Blue yeti condencer Mic, which is in My opinion better.

[@rhodondo]

can i plug it into an interface, with the wire it comes with , if not, send me a link to what I need to connect to an interface using this microphone

[@dreadydrumdave0]

liked for red fang!!! also, your videos are great.

[@Podcastage]

+Dvae Thanks man. Red Fang is tight. And I really appreciate the kind words.

[@gwugluud]

The humbucker Tele and Vox practice amp sound fantastic in each vid you include them in. Is that active EMGs in the guitar? Which Vox amp is it?

[@Podcastage]

+gwugluud 77 Unfortunately they are active pickups, and the battery is under the pick guard, so I have to unscrew it and mess with it if the battery dies. And it is a vox valvetronix: amzn.to/1NsXGhg ... can't recall if it's 20 or 60 watts.

[@bob4analog]

2:56 "digital hiss"? What does that sound like?

[@Quocamole]

Can't wait till we get to the Etekcity scroll!

[@XIzzyX]

So how does the pole work cuz I thought you were gana do the ones people wanted to see first? Can u please explain?

[@Podcastage]

+ThatPotatoIzzy That is exactly how it's going to work, but I had a bunch of microphones already lined up that I figured I would review prior to starting that. The poll will be utilized for reviews starting February...

[@madvmex]

I would like a new review but now with the FOCUSRITE. because with that configuration the audio is grounded.

[@AlexElan]

Nice video man

[@Podcastage]

+pentatonic films Thank you very much!

[@farklethemudbolt7899]

podcastage since i dont understand much about microphones and you look that you know alot im gonna ask you a question so if i get a consender microphone a expensive one but dont want to get a mixer or preamp can i just use a simple phantom power with mic to xlr to phantom power to 3.5 to laptop or pc can u explain

[@Podcastage]

+Farkle the MudBolt Question. Why would get an expensive condenser microphone and then not want to run it through the best set up possible. You will seriously be limiting it's abilities by doing so. You'd be best to get a good condenser and a good interface. Or a decent condenser and a good interface. Don't get a really good mic and then run it into a computers soundcard.

[@paulaustin3949]

thanks man good job

[@Podcastage]

You're very welcome. Thank you.

[@TheOptimistsPodcast]

Good to start a podcast

[@dvonrich123]

Sounds great recording guitar

[@Flamethatburns]

Impedance at 600 ohms, typo on the box, This was written up on a keyboard and they didn't have the ohm sign available, nor did they know how to spell it. What do you expect, Chinese to English translation. By the way, I measured it with a meter. I bought 2 of these, I may put a short stand on one, put it next to a 45 rpm Elvis record in a frame on my fireplace mantle, and use the other to take some vintage pics of the band and send them out for publicity or as Christmas cards. I might use them to take tourist pictures in front of Sun recording studios in Nashville, Tennessee for $5.00 each.

[@somosbaltimorelatinotv]

what MIC you recommend to use with my DSLR camera and Android smartphone.... for inteviews... thanks

[@Podcastage]

Check my tonor shotgun mic. That would work

[@somosbaltimorelatinotv]

Can i get a link?

[@Podcastage]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJuXeaqgisaboKM

[@julianabernal9824]

what do you think is better... this one or the bm800?? y got the bm800 but a want to change it by a vintage slyle but with a similar price

[@Podcastage]

Probably the bm800.

[@LandonTyner]

Hey! If you have $9 can you do a review of the Pyle PDMIC57 (SM-57 Knockoff)? Great videos! Thanks!

[@Podcastage]

Did you check my channel?

[@LandonTyner]

Yeah, found it. thanks!

[@shitfacetrololo]

hey Bandrew I have a question, would you recommend this mic for 22 USD to someone that needs a decently sounding microphone and can't fit a phantom power supply and that currently has an sf-666?

[@shitfacetrololo]

and I forgot to add, that likes to record his guitar and not his voice because he sucks at singing ? xD aka me

[@Podcastage]

If you connect it with XLR to USB cable. Yes. But I would recommend the PYLE PDMIC58 instead.

[@shitfacetrololo]

+Podcastage and the Pyle pdmic78?

[@mrrealestatebos]

Thanks 🙏 I got the P58 instead ‼️

[@Podcastage]

You're very welcome.

[@fenixlolnope361]

Dude no pop filter? This video is killing me!

[@Domse65]

Could you do a review on the BM-8000 mic?

[@Podcastage]

+IceManLT I think that is the same as the NW-1500, but I will add it to the poll www.geeksrising.com/podcastage

[@VadeUs]

bandrew! i just got 1k subs!!!! yesssss!

[@Podcastage]

+VadeUs Dude congratulations! That's so awesome! Congrats on the successful give aways also!

[@VadeUs]

Podcastage thank you , hopefully 2016 will be very productive year for our channels!

[@corridor444]

Bro that mic rocks

[@edwither8284]

thanks, I ordered one. I'm fronting a rockabilly band.

[@spiehler]

I inherited a bunch of these to use in a theatrical production of an old-time radio show. You think they're meh on their own? Try grouping 6 of them together. Buzz, hiss, and heaven help you if you've got six actors speaking at once. The sweet spot on these things is very small, but despite that, they feed back almost instantly. These things sell for one reason, and one reason only: They look good. Their main purpose in life is cosmetic. Hey, in a world where we're listening to things through cell phone speakers, you might not care. But these mics are proof positive that you get what you pay for. Oh, and they break at the drop of a hat.

[@uandersonbrittes6526]

in this retro style, could you please suggest something else, under u$99?

[@Podcastage]

This is the only "vintage" style mic I've tested under $100 so I don't have any others to recommend. Sorry.

[@uandersonbrittes6526]

Podcastage ok, man. don´t worry. gonna try PYLE PDMICR68SL version and see if it is a little bit better than the cr42. after that I will share my thoughts here with you!

[@REGULARTRONIX]

Podcastage I have enjoyed your comprehensive videos. Very informative. I have ordered a Nady PCM-200 and have yet to find any good test reviews online. It is a better quality than the Pyle and has an all metal casing. Reminiscent of the Shure SM55 but more of an economical choice. wondering if you could do a review in the future. Thanks!

[@WizardKing320]

could you start using uk links as well as usa links ?

[@Podcastage]

+WizardKing320 I will try to start doing that.

[@WizardKing320]

Thank you!

[@IceGene]

I wanna know what the acoustic guitar you're using in these videos hehehe

[@Podcastage]

+LouisM it's a Taylor Big Baby

[@TheGamingCapybara]

When I got mine it was all metal, how could I tell? it's cold, metal stays cold sometimes.

[@TheGamingCapybara]

Also I don't hear a hiss on mine

[@paulaustin3949]

just bought this ....gonna give it the spits test

[@roghib666]

Is there an updated $50 set up yet?

[@ghosttaco2618]

The buzzing noise in the background is horrible but it still sound okay I think.

[@ghosttaco2618]

+GhostTaco Wait the background noise is the noise cancelling in my headphones. Or is it the mic? IDK.

[@Podcastage]

+GhostTaco Well I hear the buzz too.

[@AbandiMine]

Very Good, 0 dislikes. i Am So Confused when people get dislikes when they do reviews! They Are The Ones Reviewing It, So Just Shut Up if You Don't Like It! Or Click On One Of Podcastages Vids For Good Quality Content

[@Podcastage]

+ABandiMine Gaming You are very kind. I get a few dislikes here and there. I have heard people say they disliked the video because they weren't interested in the microphone I reviewed, and that kind of stuff. I"m sure other people do it just for fun. I don't know. But you are kind and I appreciate the nice words! =) You're awesome! HIGH FIVES!

that acoustic test wasn't half bad tbh

[@karolisg3079]

the buzz

[@phantomtearsca]

I cant hear a buzzing noise.

[@RubLox_Live]

turn ur volume up bro

[@Magnulus76]

the plosives are crazy bad.

[@ihalloway]

it is sensitive to p and b blows

[@Podcastage]

As much as any other mic. yes.

[@ElectronicsForFun]

other than the popping it sounds pretty good. it looks cool, but not professional. it looks like a toy. nobody uses microphones styled like that anymore. do they?

[@Podcastage]

+electronics for fun I think the only people who use this style are Rockabilly Bands and Elvis Impersonators.

[@runnningonempty]

THE DEVILS BLEEDING CROWN?

I don't know what that means.

[@runnningonempty]

@@Podcastage The riff you played in the vid....Listen to this bad ass song... kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZ_FaHd6bNuXh5I

[@independentjames1]

I bought one just to see what they are like,,BTW Im a working prof recording engineer.I own a REAL Shure 55 built in 1964 but because its rare I got this THING for photo shoots etc.ALL the dynamic style mics from this company including the fake 58 which you talk about have the same cartridge.In other words the guts on that black one has the same gear inside as the 58.Sounds diff because of the casting and shape.But the truth is you cannot compare these to the real deal,,,these are bedroom recording toys,,nothing more

[@urbnctrl]

But the fake 58 sounds quite good. Does that mean that despite the cheap materials this one will sound average as well?

[@zes3813]

I think you're right.

[@luoyisishimisi470]

Nice review. Yeah, it does look nice, but oh, no,too much plastic.

[@intouch8789]

All sorts of buzzy feedback.

[@Podcastage]

Yeah it's not the best...it was super duper cheap though.

[@VengeanceLN]

you oughta get a mechanical keyboard, so much louder.

[@Podcastage]

+Vengeance I would, but it's pretty expensive for a mechanical keyboard for mac.

[@VengeanceLN]

Podcastage good point though i thought any keyboard worked with any OS.

[@Podcastage]

Vengeance There are very few different keys, but enough to justify buying OS specific keyboards.
