I was looking for a review between BY-M1 and BY-M1 PRO and this clarified my doubts. I can also hear that the BY-M1 PRO compared to the BY-MM1 has better cancellation noise. Really good review. Thank you.
Thank you for watching. I am just working on a new video discussing what audio devices I have tried in my quest to improve audio in my videos. I am planning to put that video online this weekend.
@@ww1www Nothing professional, just things at home but to me it's important to know the performance of th mic in the outside... In your video theres's some wind, so that's a perfect test!
i dont mean to be off topic but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Duke Dominick I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
I have some really expensive lav mics but I use these little Boya BY-M1 anytime I reach for a lav mic. Why? They sound good with my voice. They work with any device I have. They are cheap and I shoot in Saigon most of the time and if I lose, damage or get one rain damaged, it costs about $15 to replace. I have lost a few and always bought replacements. At the moment -- 4 in stock.
Yes, I also have some other lavs, the BY-M1pro is really the best bang for money. If only it came with a bit shorter cord and the clip were stronger it would be perfect. But sound-wise it is great. I am planning to add one or two more to my kit as well.
I must say.. This is one of the best reviews done for Boya... Keep them coming sir... Iam gonna buy the M1 Pro.. I think zoom h1n1 would be too bulky for me.. And some what out of budget at the moment
Thank you. The lapel mike will bring your audio to the next level. It all depends on what you want to record, different jobs need different microphones or recorders, but you can always add further gadgets if and when needed.
@@ww1www I used a shogun mic when filming outside, but the sound is not great at longer distance so i am thinking to buy this cheaper lavalier mic and after upgrade it with rogue go whirless and lavalier go
@@GalaxyArtMedia I think it really deends on what you want with the video. Microphone placement is key. A lav mic is great to capture the sound of someone speaking. It is also flexible in the sense that the speaker can move relatively freely, or turn his head. However, lav mic sounds somewhat unnatural, as it picks up more from the chest rather than the mouth, besides, it will have way less of the ambience. I am now experimenting with using the lav mic to capture my sound, however mix it with the sound from a shotgun or even a stereo mic that makes it sound natural but still clean and focused.
@@ww1www i was thinking to try also the rode go wifi and connect with a shogun and place it on a stand with boom arm to be closer to me when i talk. i usually have 2 meters from camera to my shogun mic and is too far away
Cheers! Good to know someone was watching :) I like both mikes actually, I think I will use the lav mike for vlogging, whereas the shotgun will be used where I cannot give a dedicated mike to the person speaking. Also, the shotgun picks up more of the surroundings, so it can add atmosphere. Mixing tracks with different microphones can have a good result.
Thanks for watching. These microphones are not indeed designed for singing. Depending on how/where/what you sing, I would suggest some vocal microphone.
They are different types of microphones, and are to be used for different types of recordings. The BY-M1Pro is a lapel mike, it is good for wearing and record somebody speaking and when you dont care that the mike is visible. The BY-MM1 one is a "shotgun", it is directional, but picks up somewhat more of the ambience than the lapel mike. For it to perform well, it has to face the sound source and be as close as just possible. But you can more easily keep the mike out of the picture frame. It really depends on what you need the microphone for. You can never have enough microphones. As for the BY-M1pro, I am quite happy with the sound quality (for non-pro youtube videos and the like), only gripes so far are the wire which is too long for me, and the cheap quality microphone clip, which has already broken... but it is a cheap mike and really worth it if you need a lapel mike.
@@ww1www hi I will be starting up my RUclips channel very soon and it's a normal life style channel outdoors and indoors vloog which if the Mike's do u recommend please thanks
Yes and no :) It depends on what you mean by filtering. The BY-M1 (pro) is a simple lapel mike, no special filtering but as it is closer to the mouth than your shotgun or camera-top mike, it will hear you much better. Also, it is pointing upwards towards your mouth, and your own body is blocking noise from the rear, whereas a shotgun mike on top of the camera is also picking up noise from your direction... So it will sound a lot better most of the time. Only solution would be the shotgun very close to you but for one-man vlogs with minimalistic gear, it is not really feasible usually. In even noisier environments a handheld mike right next to your mouth (or even just handholding your lavalier mike) is the best filter.
Thank you so much. This one help a lil bit my mind. However as a noob vlogger, would you recommend me boya m1 or boya m1 pro in terms of the audio quality?
I think audio quality is quite the same. Difference is the headphone jack and the attenuator. Both are useful. If the price difference is small, get the Pro, if it is like double the price, go for the original :)
@@jiayouazhary I hope it will work out well for you. Tell us when your first video with the nem mike is up and we will tell you how it sounds. It will definitely sound better than the camera microphone, no doubt.
@@leo_misha No problem. I do no know if there is any other difference as I do not have the original version. here actually are several versions of the M1; there is a dual lavalier (for two persons), a DJI Osmo Pocket version and some others. The BY-M1pro cost only about 1 EUR more than the non-pro, so I picked this version.
Superbb review.. Loved it.. I want to buy a mic for singing (recreational not professional to post on social media) but also. Vlogs.. Might just do some voice overs.. But mainly for singing vlogs youtube Are rode mics better.. Or should I go with the mm1 Pro my budget is 100$ Thank you..
For singing/voiceover maybe a Zoom H1n would be a good option. Maybe a vocal mike. Check out this video of mine ruclips.net/video/sBZ8xr2f-XU/видео.html
Thank you for making this video, it’s very informative! I am probably one of the few people that actually prefer the shotgun mic (when you are close to it of course) because to me it sounds more natural. But the m1 sounds more “clean” if that makes sense. I think for the price point it’s very decent. I’ve already ordered one but it’s great that I found a video comparing it to a shotgun mic from the same company. Another test that you could have done is to test both mics with the same device and see. Thanks again and I wish you all the best! Cheers!
Thanks for the comment. I have a few videos in the making, but weather and my lazyness delay the project :) One will compare different types of mics in different situations, eg noisy street, quiet studio, on the go, etc. Actually, the trick to intelligibility is that you have the mic as close as possible. Sometimes you need/want to place the dialogue in situ to make it sound natural, and then you may want several microphones, one for each person speaking and at least one for the ambience. It all depends what is important to you. In the meanwhile I have added a lot more audio gear to my arsenal, including some other mics, so there is plenty to show.
No post processing in this video. It might be a lot of things in your case. Where you place it, how you place it, the environment, the recorder, your own voice.
You can record directly into the phone if it has a microphone jack. But then you need to be connected with the wire and that is not always very convenient, especially if you want to move around or there are others walking...
And I haven't actually ever wanted/tried to grow it :) I have a full time job, and little time, no place to shoot videos in the evenings when it is dark outside.

Hi. Great review👍 Which one will you recommend for Discord ( Just going to use it to chat with my friends while I'm going to game ) ?
Not sure. I do not game. How about a headset? But the Boya could work for you as well if you can place it close to your mouth.
@@ww1www I already have hifi gear to game with. So I'm just going to get the Boya M1👍
The M1 (pro) is a quite a good lavalier microphone for the money.
Hi! I use the mm1 for voice over but I'm planning to switch to the m1 pro. Will it be worth the money?

Is there any difference between the boya m1 and the m1 pro?
Yes, as I tried to explain. Main differences: a) Pro has a -10dB attenuator switch b) Pro has a headphone jack socket for playback from your phone.

Is it directly use to smart phone while we are taking video recording or is it use only for audio recording.
You can record directly into the phone if it has a microphone jack. But then you need to be connected with the wire and that is not always very convenient, especially if you want to move around or there are others walking...
