Shure MV7 vs. RODE PODMIC USB with Audio Comparisons!

[@RobertMTeegarden]

What are you going to use this microphone for?!

[@Tmaxar]

For breaking into cars parked in desolate parking…..I guess.

[@24hrboss]

Livestreaming and Podcast. I have the Podmic. In your test to me, the Podmic sounded slightly better. Good video and review.

[@derbohmann]

I do like your video style and energy, but i would have preferred to listen to both recordings first and then to your comment to both microphones. This would make the comparison for the viewer easier as there isn't a third microphone (the one you're actually using) in between. But other than that it's a nice video.

[@rafapucpr]

Yes, I would like to see this too, just talking into one microphone first and then another, without interference in between. But even so I could see the difference between them.

[@seedsofwisdompod]

Literally screamed when you did the “my voice” edit 😂😂 love it! Great content

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Ayeeeee 😉 Let's gooooo hahaha Glad you enjoyed it!

[@stayingfitandfocused]

That had me dead asf

[@MeowsonGaming]

Every video I see on The Mv7 is sounds Tinny and thin. I think the Rode is a better option based off what i've seen. Thanks for the video!

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Out of the box, I agree with you.

[@jonmichael02302]

To my ears the Mv7 all the way...

[@TU_SITIO]

Shure mv7 USB en la pc ❤

[@HenryMusic255]

The sound is more natural & balanced with the MV7. high frequencies especially “s” consonants sounded almost overcooked with the rode, as if the gain might have been set too high. The high frequencies are more subdued/ better handled with the MV7 & it sounds naturally De-essed. The MV7 captures the frequency range more evenly. I’ve had issues with high frequencies on my previous mic so I prefer to have something with a subdued response that I can edit if need be in post. Also, I’ve heard that using the shure SM7B foam pop shield can reduce plosives & sibilance even further.

[@emmphive]

So I had ordered 4Mv7 but they don’t have 4 black in stock and in the time frame I need them. So the supplier suggested the Rode. I wasn’t sure about which way to go but the Rode definitely sounds “better” to my ear. Listening through an iPhone speaker. Great video.

[@TheACLP]

mv7 sound much softer, maybe for youtubers that are chill or maybe even singing, and the rode podmic sound more like you are trying to get the viewers attention and you are talking a lot and screaming. Two different personalities, I prefer the mv7, because it feels cozy.

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Right on. Thanks for watching.

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

This is a comparison I wanted I was originally planning on buying a mv7 last year but the podmic won me over price wise but while I'm unhappy with the price point of the podmic usb the price point can still win me over despite ut not being a budget mic anymore

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Thanks for watching and happy the video brought you value! I have both the podmic and podmic USB for different applications. The USB function is really helpful, especially if you don't have an interface.

[@Coolguykylor]

I can’t even lie. I’m biased. I love shure products and especially the mv7

[@JobyClarkFullSail]

The sss’s and plosives on the rode were terrible. Plus the mids seem too pushed and brittle. Mv7 without a doubt wins the sound test.

[@jaywbus]

mv7 sounds smoother imho

[@SHAKA-NEU-LU]

Every vid I watched I seem to be leaning to the podmic usb. Maybe I’ll buy both and see which one I return

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Sounds like the right move for you.

[@KozyKubGam3r]

I use the mv7 with xlr on a maonocaster e2 my gain at 8 and low eq up high with mid and trble about halfway.. i then record thru audacity and the way i create my audio profile before editing really helps with a higher pitch female voice. It was a toss up between these 2 mics. Reason i like the xlr with the shure is because I don’t have to eat the mic to get that rich sound. I do wonder if rode is better tho

[@ArtemioSilva]

Is it just me or the Rode does a better job at noise rejection?

[@theoutsiderjess1869]

Rode has the better windscreen

[@saintwolfcrypto]

Yeh just noticed that

[@saintwolfcrypto]

For a short video or commercial the RODE but for a lengthy podcast or spoken video the Shure HANDS DOWN.

[@guron881]

У микрофона RODE PODMIC USB, разъём Type C - намного надёжней, да и цена ниже. Я, за него!

[@ElenaHolisticMindTherapy]

Глубже звук , обьёмней , что несомненно нравится , но звучание «С» свистящее . Не смотрю на цену . Если есть возможность смягчить звук , то Rode выигрывает еще и в конструкции корпуса

[@amadeusebastian7278]

Thank's for the review, very helpful👍

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Glad it was helpful!

[@zeeshanish1]

Hey bro. Great video. You need a de esser on your audio. Those S sounds really harsh lol

[@matth61285]

I came to make the suggestion that he add that deesser to the video, but good looking out.

[@ElenaHolisticMindTherapy]

Why the RODE has that crispy “C” sound with all the base depth ?

[@robertquinonez_]

The Rode sounded slightly better in my opionion as well. If I went with Shure, it would be the jump to a MV7db and if needed, buy the Shure USB adaptor than settle for MV7 in comparrison to this Rode mic. USBc connection on the rode is also future proof and better, another KZbinr that also reviewd them both said the Shure micro USB connection came apart...poor quality at the connection.

[@totalbettypodcastnetwork]

Super helpful, thank you! Can you recommend a floor mic stand for the Shure MV7?

[@TU_SITIO]

MAONO Aluminio·4,4 Libras·Low Profile (BA92 Black)❤❤❤❤❤

[@alansarpy]

awesome Channel! Do you think the rode pod mic would be a good option for voice over?

[@ChikwadoTradingAcademy]

I think the Rode Podmic USB killed it

[@TheTrailDancer]

Which software are you using to create your video here with the PIP? Also, which would you recommend for a mic used for online classes/recording/podcasting? Something i can travel with and USB? Which do you prefer? Thanks Nice vid..

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Just using premiere. I have a video on how I do that. Look for Multicam tips on my channel. It'll give you a step-by-step.

[@exMasterNQQB]

Hello. Thanks for the review. Can you tell me if the microphone RODE can simultaneously output sound via USB and XLR ?

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Unfortunately not

[@HocTiengAnhTheoNguHanhTuongHop]

I think it is better for me to compare if listening to only both sounds without the explanation between.

[@zNeroba]

and PODMIC against Fifine t699? which one is better without EFX ? great video!

[@Grasss]

they sound identical enough to my ear. is there a way to switch between XLR and USB without unplugging? (I want to have the mic connected to two devices)

[@KerMigma]

With a Software called Voicemeeter

[@dragos-lucian]

Both recordings should've been played one after each other without anything to say in between. The commentary should've been added at the end.

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Well when you make a video, you can fix that issue. Thanks for the engagement!

[@dragos-lucian]

@RobertMTeegarden Take it as constructive criticism. I even subscribed to your channel. All I had to say was that the commentary in between the samples makes it a little difficult to compare them.

[@Guironey]

thxxx for thiss!!

[@lawrenceramirez1628]

Please up your De-esser moving forward

[@matthewcarmody2283]

For live-streaming/gaming what do you think would be better?

[@SasukeKunGaming]

Same question

[@TJzWayy]

@@SasukeKunGamingI got the Podmic USB

[@kgftechnicalranjanji4688]

Love you bro ♥️👍

[@SynthpoploverbyJohnOrie]

You can copy the effects from one to an other track.

[@anmolkaushal1426]

Hello sir can we connect 02 same rode podmic usb with same 💻 laptop for recording of podcast Can we record 02 recording from different mics connected.at same time to obs or audacity sir

[@RobertMTeegarden]

I'm sorry I don't understand the question.

[@Igor.764]

What adobe audition plugins are you using?

[@EmrahMatur]

Good work. I would be glad if you could share with me the brand of microphone you use

[@marsrevolutionary]

Those prices are not the same here in Canada. I cna get the Podmic for $140 CAD but the MV7 is $340 CAD.

[@NickSimard]

Where are you seeing the Rode PodMic USB for $140? Maybe the older version but I doubt it’s the one shown in this video.

[@aanguyen425]

You looked at the Podmic XLR. The USB version is newer and more expensive.

[@Jponte87]

any winner jesus

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Jesus is always the winner.

[@mikerobin]

Lol you can turn around the mv7 when you turn it the other way (move the microphone side thorugh the mount instead of the I/O side) 😂

[@racso415]

Could any of these in be plugged in directly to smart phone?

[@JobyClarkFullSail]

Apogee makes one specifically for iOS devices that connects to lightning port. Hope that helps

[@racso415]

@@JobyClarkFullSail thanks I figured it works with Android well, iPhone users stock cable won't do it, but works with a rode cable usb type c to lightning

[@jamestrench1500]

To talk to much between the sound examples..cant decide that way 😢

[@POSYPANO]

Hi. In Norway MV7 usb is 12% cheaper than Podmic USB. What do you advise to do?

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Nice! Either are great options. I personally like the Rode but you can't go wrong with both.

[@POSYPANO]

@@RobertMTeegarden Thank you. I thought you would recommend only one of the options, but this answer is very satisfying that you can't choose wrong. Greetings from rainy Oslo.

[@RobertMTeegarden]

Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, Posy. I hope to visit one day! Big fan of Norwegian metal 🤘🏼

[@LTPottenger]

If the mv7 is cheaper then I'd take it 100%, only reason to consider podmic is it is cheaper in most places. That's what I have and it is many times better than anything I had before. Great voice sound with zero postprocessing, which is very rare for affordable mic. Maybe not as good as sm7b or other expensive mic but a good value. Rode is also good but they often have small but annoying flaws and you can read about it in some of the bad reviews. That has kept me away from their products even though they have pretty good sound.

[@POSYPANO]

@@RobertMTeegarden I cordially invite you. Norway is a beautiful country and heavy metal is a kind of culture here. So is Finland 🫡

[@Crackugh]

yea the shure is $50 more thats not much lol u pay for what u get and theres a reason y 90% of podcasts/streamers have the MV7

[@dancruze]

I wouldnt say 90% have the mv7. Not even close. And the only reason the mv7 is seen a bit is because the sm7b is a trend currently in livestream

[@1Samuel1524]

I'm willing to pay $2,000 for a quick easy portable setup and I just like the sound of the rode podmic USB.

[@BOKHTARIMUSIC]

RODE

[@saintwolfcrypto]

why?
