$20 Microphone Vs. $12500 Microphone
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 янв 2018
- This week, we compare one of the most classic microphones of all time to a $20 microphone from Amazon. We had some surprising results bruuuuuuuuuhhh
$20 Microphone: amzn.to/2EoqOUt
$12500 Microphone: vintageking.com/akg-c12-multi...
Thanks to Andrew Huang, I was heavily inspired by his video: • $22 MICROPHONE VS $360...
Thanks to Eric Johansson at Revenue Music Group, who both mixed the mic samples and participated in the video!

20$ mic = just don't scream
6ix9ine
I mean, since 'screamo' technics doesn't sound that loudy, u can get away with it.
But thats my style.....
That’s the best part
MrCubuc not for ninja or dr disrespect
$20 microphone-sounds like a $20 microphone
$12500 microphone-sounds like a $100 microphone
While on youtube
No like 20$
huh
KaputPictures you obviously don’t have trained ears if you can’t tell the difference In audio quality between RUclips and streaming platforms such as Spotify
@@funnybunnyishot11 huh? I'm not the person to spend 100's of dollars on headphones with special features, i just need something sturdy and robust that i can take to gym. So no, there is not a noticeable difference. And any average consumer won't see much of a difference between spotify and youtube. Why don't you go ahead and buy physical copies of every song you listen to, those must have far better quality to spotify. If you can't see the difference it means you obviously don't have trained ears. lol
2 years later and I still hear NO DIFFERENCE
Well
.. ye the audio doesn't change....
I can hear them there's noticable noise on the cheap one at a certain threshhold
Firstly, your speaker has a difference on it ( I can't hear any difference as well) and secondly, youtube compresses the audio thus not leaving that good of a difference
then you still need a better sound card and monitors or headphones ;-)
The biggest difference I can hear is how the expensive mic picks up a lot more body in the voice than the cheap mic does. I honestly prefer mics that can catch that warmth in your voice.
The cheap mic is way better than I expected, it's actually pretty good
the expensive microphone sounds richer in volume
@@SagyTity1 That richness could be a result of the mid-range saturation that tube mics are known for. However, you can get a tone-rich mic with modern-made tube mics.
nerdyneedsalife the at2020 is pretty good right?
@@DevonThomas1204 I don't have any expertise so I recommend Bandrew, he has a more recent review of the AT2020 in multiple scenarios and it does its job well.
@@SagyTity1 mix? And sound engineering?
The cheap microphone is $19.99 not $20 this is clickbait
Lmao 😂 that’s actually a nice joke lol
Taxes go to school
@@kiabinnion5124 Imagine thinking you have to pay $0.01 in tax for something at that price
MonsterL L lol
For real wtf
now you need $12 500 headphones to hear the difference
@@Newlife-ol6pk Not exactly, you can hear the difference pretty clearly with 300-500 usd headphones and from my experience hearing this comparison with an hd800 the difference is clear, the reduced harshness and increased detail that the higher priced microphone pulls is incredible, the 20 usd microphone sounds too good for its price but it falls short in audio resolution as it supposed to. There will be diminishing returns so probably after 300usd the differences will be more in how the sound is captured(warmer-cooler, etc). Hearing the differences require trained ears as seeing differences in color calibrated displays required trained eyes, most people will say they are equal because they are used to filtered and low quality media.
Xddddd
@@Fede101kill3r7 Ever learn to take a joke
@@digitaljosh_ - what? he’s replying to the guy who said “hilarious, but true” simply trying to explain that it’s not necessarily true.
can tell the difference with my 50 dollars studio headphones
6:13 the $20 microphone sounds crazy good here
Gracias
tysm
The cheap microphone sound like 1970 country song
thank you for helping me not waste my life
*$20: Woah feels like he's a foot away from me... Cool.*
*$12500: Okay, I need some space, Joel.....*
The only difference i heard is when he screamed into the cheap one
because it has higher sensitivity and lacked a proper pop filter and wind cap
Also upon closer analysis it seems like the AKG was not directly in front of him instead a few inches above therefore he was not screaming directly into the diaphragm like he did with the blue mic. Watch it again
@@oneuptoptv or the capsule itself couldent handle loud singing
@@Leuncakk im sure u can find a work around that . find optimal gain put some pop filter in front maybe just scream from a farther distance
every review youtuber should have a scream test. If I ever start making vids, I'd be yelling into my mic 24/7
me: *thinking my mic is fine*
roomie: "the worst proper mic you can buy on amazon"
me: "I have that exact same mic"
Same😂
TearDrop I have the same neewer mic but it’s the 700 version
Also I managed to dent my mic
I have a 11 dollar one
I would recommend mend it but their static if it's not in a control area.
WakinTheDeadFan i use a neewer nw700 together with a audio mixer check out my vids to hear the quality i’d reccomand it
I was so confused that they weren't wearing any mask and then I looked at the date I didn't realize it was made 3 years ago
There was a time we didn’t live on the fact we need masks for daily commute lol
I can't roll my eyes hard enough at this comment.
Who the fuck wears a mask in there house especially when recording a video anyways.
This is a painful comment, thanks for the tears.
@@rigezz5596 At the beginning, the trip for renting the microphone
These cheap microphones contain 1/2" decent electret capsule and a preamplifier which was incorrectly designed. The preamplifier causes distortion, but when a couple of resistors are replaced, these distortions disappear. It also has no damper on the capsule mount which resonates at ~500Hz which creates undesired peaks in frequency response. Removing plastic mount and replacing it with the foam rubber mount makes it OK. The remaining resonances are from the metal grille and can be reduced by placing rubber rings in the middle. After that, the microphone would compare more favorably to more expensive models. The only problem is the background noise which is ~30dB vs ~18dB on perfect condenser microphones. With that, you can get 70-80dB dynamic range recording voice and instruments, and maybe more for drums and trumpets. The max SPL is ~120dB on both (with fixed preamp). But BTW, mine was $12.
Wow ! Thanks for the info!
Bro wtf
Youwikitubbed hard dude thanks for the info!
To listen to the quality of a 12500 dollar microphone, you need a 12500 dollar headphone.
*Not stonks*
And to appreciate the quality of 12,500$ headphones you need a 12,500$ microphone.
Lesson is: we all have 20$ headphones, buy a 20$ microphone. :'D
@@FreemitiveD and 12.500 dollar preamp, and 12.500 dollar converters, not via youtube, recorded in an acoustically treated environment
Ludovico Pansolli Esatto x’D
You need a good DAC for that to, i bet he got studio monitors to check the sound or a good pair of headphones. Im inrested what he connected the microphones to, you need stuff that can drive the microphone and match the interface/soundcard stats on paper.
honestly, i'd rather have the cheap microphone because it sounds really close to the expensive one and is 650 times cheaper
Did you use your nose to try to listen to the comparison?
@@pyrotricks1168 in all honesty hes not wrong im just a regualr consumer not an audiophile but to me in regular scenarios - not extremely loud or extremely quiet- they do sound pretty similar
Bunnie Bell actually 625
*652 times
It's always how you intend to use your gear. The cheap Sennheiser and other AKG's are good for the price, but when you really want to work with.. .huh huh... no. In this example, we don't know the outboard and how it's set up, that would be important to know. Most of the listeners are listening through their pc speakers, that are mostly rubbish. The take where recorded in a cabin, that generally aren't the greatest solution for a splendid sound.
In general, all those super cheap microphones have metallic sybillant, with a good chunk of noise and a medium puking all other the place.
The C12 is a tool for professionnals, it's reliable, proven, and it's the reason for this price.
But please. Remember that you have two extremes in the microphone world. A lot of microphones in the 600 to 1'800$ range are pretty serious stuff if you want to work.
Who's gonna buy a mic for that much money there are people who can't even afford the 20$ one
All reach people: Hold my ego
Enthusiasts? Musicians? Professionals? Audio Engineers? Mixers? Producers? It's not an ego thing either. There is clearly a difference. You can't get away with using cheap mics at a certain level of professionalism, cos there is a huge difference despite many not being able to tell the difference. Once you can it's day and night
Let's take a moment to appreciate how good he is at singing
He is a singers
Have you seen his singer's impression videos?
yes! Thank you
I am not a fan of his voice most of his time.

U FORTNITE NERD
That's right s0ul plays
I actually liked the cheap mic's distortion during the screaming part when it was mixed with the music lol. It made it sound more intense.
Also upon closer analysis it seems like the AKG was not directly in front of him instead a few inches above therefore he was not screaming directly into the diaphragm like he did with the blue mic.
It hurts with headphones
@@madeline_from_celeste_real I had studio monitors on lol. It was and is fine for me.
(You may already know this, sorry in advance) I think it can sound great too, but I think the point of it is that you want to get a clean recording and then add that distortion in post if you want it.
Condenser mics aren't made for being screamed into, that's why you don't use them live. Dynamic mics are for recording high volume singing and instruments.

I love that he used all his own stuff to avoid copyright claims.
I've heard of RUclips musicians being copyright striked for using music they've worked on themselves though.
@@bittaraemaulana4276 what the ? getting copyright striked for your own creation?
@@gorillanbombyoza I can weigh in on this actually. Basically, if people pay you to provide them with content, you (in United States Copyright law) lose the right to it as it becomes a "Work for Hire" situation. This grants the purchaser the rights, and even if you state it isn't a work for hire they can win in court. There are also cases where you can sign over the rights and licensing so your creation is out of your hands. I have seen cases on RUclips where an artist and the work he made for someone else ended up getting him in trouble when he used it on his own channel for a different project, however, he was definitely morally in the right.
Except for the "I'm Blue, daba-dee daba-daa" music clip, he's lucky Eiffel 65 isn't the kind of guy who would sue over nothing
Excellent video. I've seen a number of videos on these microphones, and they are amazing for the price. I'm looking forward to getting one. Of course, I'm referring to the BM-800.
"This is a hole, and another one, and that thing, content!"
*LOL*
You can definitely tell there's been a significant improvement in audio technology from when the expensive mic was made. The fact that a 20 dollar mic was only *slightly* worse than the 12,500 dollar mic speaks volumes on just how fast audio technology is progressing.
If you watched the whole video they aren't the same, the cheaper mic cuts off at louder noises.
It's very sad that you believe that. The "good" quality of the cheap mic is only because of the very expensive and good preamp he is using, if he had tested the mic with the normal mic input of the computer or an cheap preamp it would sound very very different. (Why do you think people buy microphones for 2000$ and more if a 20$ mic sounds "almost the same" ) (trust me I'm an Audioengeniere)
Tyler Phillips you clearly don't understand how any of this works, but yes the akg would sound a bit worse but not nearly as bad as the 20$ one.
Sam Of Spades definitely not a “slight” difference but wasn’t as big a difference as u would expect (if it can’t work for Jacob Sarty then it can’t work)
Antonius Lagemann lol you are very wrong
You should do a blind test to see if the $12,000 microphone actually sounds better or if it's just the placebo effect
o.o yaz
I did it.. If you wear headphones that are fairly balanced you can hear the difference . It's very obvious .. The cheap one is a bit sibilant while the other mic has a very warm feel to it that is fairly relaxing to hear .. Basically what you would expect by an industry standard microphone . Really high quality . I don't think my semi trained ears would be able to tell the difference between that and a Neumann u87 though ..
first name thats what i thought
I bought the cheap microphone. The only reason it sounds good in roomies video is becauase he has a good audio interface. If he didn't have an audio interface the difference would be HUMONGOUS
@@neacronbrony9868 what's an audio interface?
"Woah that didn't sound bad at all."
_That's pretty bad_
"Yeah man, totally."
Honestly, if the cheaper mic had a slightly thicker diaphragm, I feel that would potentially fix the distortion issue. Aside from that, that was pretty damn cool. I've just recently gotten into school for audio recording, and we kind of blew through the mic section, so getting to actually sit down and listen to "Cheaper vs. Expensive" videos and opinions has shown me a clear correlation. Sometimes, it just depends on the person recording, and the person being recorded. Do I see it finding its way into professional studios? Potentially. Do I feel it might serve a better purpose for up-and-coming podcasters and talk-show RUclipsrs? Somewhat. At the end of the day, you use whatever mic you have for whatever purpose you deem necessary, and I'm not gonna lie; I'm strongly inclined to buy the Neewer now.
For 12 Grand I expected the Microphone to do the singing
Or at least have autotune built in...

@@ayie583 it's more about the frequencies that the mic can pick up and at what cost. A more expensive mic has a wider range of frequencies whereas the cheaper one not so much. It's a small limitation but a big difference in hindsight

Thanks for sharing this review
imagine buying the 12500$ mic and watching this vid and finding out its legit the same quality as a 20$ mic
imagine
Was my thoughts xd
The difference comes from the DATA the microphone picks up. When you add EQ, compression, reverb, delays and ect to the raw audio file, THAT'S when you understand the difference. I didn't understand this until I started getting into music.
Boss Bunny epic speech
the 20$ microphone sounds good yeah
All the people
And I can no longer blame my phones microphone for my bad singing
Lee Kim Your phones microphone is worth like 1$
Microphones tend to distort more the higher your notes. You can totally still blame them because his notes don't go as high as females.
I recorded him singing on my with the 12000 dollar mic and it sounded bad
Loved the part around 6 min!!!!! Great way to compare!
For the $12,475 difference, you could buy a VERY nice hardware compressor and noise gate.
you could also buy a much nicer mic than the $20 one AND a very nice hardware compressor and noise gate.
They sound literally exactly the same.
They don't in most of the tests. I'm listening off my laptop speakers this time and could tell a difference in production quality.
No you can definitely tell the difference
Huge difference in the harshness
You have to have headphones kid

I just watched the video in our music class today where the 12.5k microphone came from.
The problem with the vid is the fact that the mic probably costs a lot bc of it's rarity and history and not because of it's quality compared to most modern microphones. Anyways, I still loved the video and thought it was great! Amazing vocals Roomie! 👌👍🔥
The description of it says it was the pinnacle of microphone designers arts
Exactly, it's vintage with a classic sound! No recording engineer would say that there is a "best" microphone. It's kind of like picking between paintbrushes or router bits. You gotta find the tool shaped right for the job at hand

Maddox Omeara but when you listen to it closely he is right and you don’t want that of your trying to go pro. I’m not saying you should buy the expensive mic though.
Yes , the price😅
its totally not worth it but its not doing it any justice when it is compressed in youtube, and even worse you're probably listening to it on phone speakers so its not what it sounds like uncompressed
+Nhan Ngo Speaker or headphone quality matters, but I seriously doubt that RUclips's audio data compression, albeit lossy, makes an audible difference. I find it easy enough to hear the difference between these microphones on certain material.
Hussein Naji mine is almost a year old works fine, has a lot of self noise
I literally see no difference between these two microphones
You're meant to hear it
The difference is the low end sound a lot better and top end is smooth. The cheaper one is more paper sounding and the low end is not well captured. Just what I heard.
Use good headphones, you will hear difference
You didn’t use headphone?
Hawkeye Gaming Then just work out the difference of the price
I bought a $ 100 microphone yesterday. I wish I had seen this video earlier to buy this $ 20. It performed extremely well
I'm looking for this Acoustic box where you recorded your voice. Where I found this item? Thank you!!
I haven't noticed any diffirence ....The 12500$ microphone may be slightly better .... but over all considering the price , the 20$ microphone is the better microphone to buy.... unless you're rich and don't care then do whatever you want
Adam .J and have in mind its just the resale value, that microphone is older then any of these viewers soooo....
Its called clickbait
Adam .J You do have to consider the fact that RUclips's audio quality is absolute trash.
@Simmergul Flargamish
That's pretty much it. You still hear that the AKG is way more dynamic, and the cheap one got some annoying frequencies which are a pain in the ass to get rid off. There are better and "payable" options out there than that cheap one in this video. Heck, you could just take a SM58 and be fine.
それな
to be fair I don't think anyone in their right mind would bother using a 12.5k microphone
Drake uses 10k mic
Lol you'd be amazed. People buy the C-800 a lot ($11000), when in reality the change it makes isn't worth it at all.
@No U yeah, there are people starving
Artists? Movie producers? Anything professional requiring audio. Theres alot.
@No U to the rich they are not expensive anyway. It would be like us buying one from the Dollar store only it would suck.
Awesome video thanks 👍
wow man, you sing really great. wish I had such a good voice to sing, but I'm not that lucky :-( btw I bought that Neewer mic. sounds great and very cheap also. greetz from Holland
I hear less background white noise on the expensive mic, and more warmth in the sound. Especially in the mid range.
But it is ABSOLUTELY NOT a big enough difference to justify that price! I wouldn't know the difference if I wasn't listening closely.
Its cuz its old and antique ish
I already explained in previous comment that he is using studio quality pre-amp, hardware processing and audio interface and audio is post processed after recording by an industry professional. So mic is only a small part of the whole setup, the fact that you can still hear noticeable difference and some parts sound really bad even after all of that still says lot about the mics. And regardless the 15k mic is so expensive because they don't make them anymore and also it's only intended for professional singers, in which case 12k is a drop in bucket for a recording studios equipment.
Yeah but they could get better mics tbh around that price...
@@Lius525 dude a mic that much is not worth it fr
Do you realise that when a video is compiled and uploaded to RUclips, the audio is compressed and a lot of the information in the sound is lost? U can't judge exactly how good a really expensive mic is, without listening with really expensive equipment.
A mic like this would be best suited to live performance where the sound is directly outputted to the speakers. Not recorded and compiled audio where the sound has to be compressed in order to make it small enough to share.
That mic is definitely not worth 12500$ Tooo expensive
MarVest_ Pw lol it was way ahead of its time, that's why it's that expensive
I just found it on ebay for 2k dollars, so no, its not :D
totally, plus you need different equipment to power that thing to make it sound its best.

Mag PW Hello Mag!!
Really fun comparing a really expensive high quality mic that's over 50 years, to a really cheap low quality mic from 3-4 year's ago.
In the mix I actually think the clipping in the cheap one when you yell adds a little bit of character that I really like, but maybe that's just me speaking as a metal vocalist.
If you wanna tell the diffrence, you gotta buy a 10000$ headset lmao
I heard a difference (in some parts) on my laptop's speaker.
And not listen to it on youtube
But think about it, when someone goes to a studio to record a song, the goal is to broadcast it to the world through the radio, TV, RUclips, Spotify, whatever. The target audience is never going to have equipment like that, so there's not much of a point of having it at that kind of quality.
Either way you could hear the difference between these microphones. The cheap one started to sound harsh and distort during the loud parts. I think if you compared a 2K microphone compared to the 12.5K one you'd probably have a hard time finding a difference in quality. This video is basically the cheapest of the cheapest vs extremely expensive.
The difference is the price :))
Ok but let's be fair.
You go to a studio to get your shit recorded, and you pay a set price.
Do you want them to use $20 microphones, or quality expensive microphones?
And the rent sales for the $12500 mic has just gone down by 95%
Ssadadsss enayiler
I remember the good old days when Roomie used to leave the apartment sometimes...
I have the Neewer 700 and 800, both are good, but the problem I have is turning the gain down low enough, they're very sensitive. I turned the gain up, and sang quiet background parts, and the NW800 even picked up bleed from my headphones. I sing loudly usually, and it's just a matter of getting the gain down low enough so that they don't clip, which is where the distortion is coming from. Set the gain properly, and they're great imo!
The nice thing about the more expensive microphones
Low/no noise floor
Rounded down highs
Consistent and tight low end, and very present mids, like when you put it in a mix you're very familiar with you're going to say; oh yeah, that's it
Also, you pretty much don't need to adjust the eq on a mic of that caliber like ever
To taste or to mix, but they sit in great. There is a reason they become an industry standard for workflow
Of all the posts on here trying to state why expensive mics are good, I think yours makes the most sense. I definitely experienced a very controlled midrange, consistent low end and it was almost like a built-in multiband compression thing going on (could be the tube I guess). The expensive mic also controlled overall dynamics way better.
This particular mic would need a bit of eq though, I think it’s dulled over time.
With some sweat in the mix you could probably get pretty similar results even with the cheap mic on some material, but as you say, the workflow and way there is just so much more streamlined with a nice mic.
RoomieOfficial Heyy Roomie you're the bestest RUclipsr I know..!!!
You do actually know that,I'm just reminding...!💖
Seriously 😍😍
ILYSM..!💘
did he state what kind of analog digital converter he used for the expensive mic and or preamp
+senn heiser exactly, the preamp is crucial with this microphone because of it's tube, without a good preamp you don't get the dynamics out of it that it's famous for!
rickenbacker40011 - Excellent - now lets get melodyne on the fucker!
I think the big differences are not in high end Mics - but in low to mid range mics - that's where exciting stuff is happening. For £12K+ if this mic didn't cut the mustard it should be burned.
I will never get tired of that gnome laugh 😂😂😂
XxGacha PotatoxX same
Same
whoever did the captions is a legend
Me:Ok, Roomie I’m going to just skip a few seconds.
What I get when I skip part of a video made by Roomie: 3:09
Holy shit at 7:06 i honestly love how the cheap microphone distorts the voice when singing that loud. I think it can be used on certain situations
