Sounds a little crunchy for a large capsule? Wondering if like the other 34 mm, they sound better from a foot? I must have missed it, how's the noise level?
your videos are great! I also saw the one about the other Bai Fei Li, but i have a question for you. Which one is better betweeen the two versions of the c414, the 25mm one or the 34mm one?
My contrary nature makes me want to touch that capsule so bad! I get more excited for Baifeili/Proar reviews than any other brand right now. Another affordable winner with crazy build quality. Happy for you to find another mic you love!
Bai Fei Li me! Looks like the mic missed its bris. Its got a little extra on the end of its shaft. Thats a great sound for the price. Would be a great mic for someone sitting at a piano and singing.
timeline 5:45 I like your voice, it seems grainier than usual and more detailed, natural. I don't know if others will notice the same thing as me. I think it's due to my headphones (old superlux 2x56 ohms (4 years old)). With them, I hear the faults very quickly (following, crackling, hissing...). besides you changed the hand microphone and I heard it, not necessarily good but on the other hand, if I had to use it I would put it on an articulated arm (like I do for mine, condenser also but it is less sensitive to the movement of the hands, I think). I'm watching the rest. I am delighted to see what its sound catchment area is... Timeline end A deessers is useful in my opinion, my headphone echoes to me too much of what I think are hisses (sss sheee...). For me it's a cardoid not a super cardoid, I'm not an expert but you can hear it a little muffled on the side and you can hear it well at the back... Its construction quality, at this price, a monster for me...89€ displayed price, even my rhode m2 is more expensive new (100-120€). Almost the nt1 seems more muffled less natural and it emits less of what I called more hisssss essss sss in my headphones. I have the impression that the kk205 would be less forgiving of errors than an nt1. relatively inexpensive, intriguing, it would be a microphone that I would want to test but I would still be afraid of it. Thank you a thousand times again for this BAAAAAAAARK discovery.
Bark - k - ch - kch - ! The XLR cable concerns me. Did you try connecting it with just a regular mic cable and see how it works? I admit, the mic sounds good. One wonders about the noise figure, the maximum SPL, etc.
Got one where I only heard handling noise, no vocal. Constant static, no matter how I set the input volume. Phantom power engaged, tried different cables that worked with other mics I have. Spoke to store, they sent another, same deal. If I tap the mic, I hear it through the phones, but speaking or singing doesn't come through. The replacement did the same thing. Any clue as to why? Or did I just get a bad batch?
Yo tengo un BF414 y no puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente. Al no tener este micrófono, no podría hacer una comparación. Sin embargo, a uno jamás se le ocurriría sostener un 414 con la mano. Tentación en la que muy seguramente se podría caer con este micro, con los ruinosos resultados que se pueden advertir en el video.
@@joseantoniomaidana6246 segun especificaciones tecnicas, el bf414 y el kk205 son exactamente el mismo microfono con otra contruccion, el kk205 tiene un poco de mejor presion sonora, ahora en sistema de placa y componentes desconozco que tan bueno sean uno con el otro y como indicas es verdad que el 414 debe estar mas estatico y no te da esa libertad de poder utilizarlo con la mano, pero viendo el video igual el mic no esta diseñado para usarse con la mano.
- Take the initials of the brand Bai Fei Li - *BFL*. - Make a new logo with "BFL". - Re-shape the grill. - Make versions with various colors. Then, it gets a 10. ☺️👍
I wanted to hate it.. But I don't. It's got a little bit of that Chinese LDC sibilance, but otherwise sounds great. Don't love that this company seems committed to copying other companies designs - I have two of their other mics and they're decent too, but are also blatant ripoffs of other mics in the looks department. They could easily make something all-original and great, but they keep making look-a-likes. 😕
A few stutters and you would be doing your Max Headroom impersonation . . . Sounds pretty good on my work speakers - Monsoons with subwoofer. Keep up the good work.
I never listened to Limp Bizkit but I was just thinking about the Eminem song Girls and my favorite part to this this day is when he says mf a limp bizkit i never asked care gave a f or wanted an opinion
Ese micrófono tiene un hermoso sonido pero definitivamente no es para sostenerlo con la mano. El ruido que produce el movimiento o el cambio de mano es inaceptable.
Somewhat agreed that it's not all that sibilant. It does have a prominent not-smooth noise in the highs that I don't like at all, but it's not really in the sibilance frequency range. Probably a good mic to mod, for people into all that. Hard to really complain for the price.@@ObscureMics

Sounds amazing - great warm sound with clear mids and highs.
The big end is a TAD harsh to me in retrospect…but just barely

Noise level was solid....useable bit obviously not below double digit dba
your videos are great! I also saw the one about the other Bai Fei Li, but i have a question for you. Which one is better betweeen the two versions of the c414, the 25mm one or the 34mm one?
I’ve only used the smaller capsule version sadly. Was unaware there was a large diaphragm version
My contrary nature makes me want to touch that capsule so bad!
I get more excited for Baifeili/Proar reviews than any other brand right now. Another affordable winner with crazy build quality. Happy for you to find another mic you love!
There's a handful more that j want to get from them

Oooooo it would
He he
Mic sounds great.
agreed!
Better than the sm58??
I have a soft spot for handheld consensers
@@ObscureMics now I want one never had a handheld condenser! Not looking but one of these days maybe try this I’m shocked at how good it sounds

Good stuff!
handling noise is very poor but apart from that, the rear rejection was pretty good,
Yeah pretty solid. I'd throw this in a shock mount for podcasting
Thanks for the wonderful review. I watched your video and immediately ordered a microphone for myself!
Nice! Thanks for watching!
Bark - k - ch - kch - !
The XLR cable concerns me. Did you try connecting it with just a regular mic cable and see how it works? I admit, the mic sounds good. One wonders about the noise figure, the maximum SPL, etc.
I did that in the video actually lol
And yeah I wish they had those details....but at the end of the day I am ok without them
5:00 mark
I would have liked to have heard that compared to the Neuman and the shure sM 58
I do not own a Neuman sadly
Got one where I only heard handling noise, no vocal. Constant static, no matter how I set the input volume. Phantom power engaged, tried different cables that worked with other mics I have.

The replacement did the same thing.
Any clue as to why? Or did I just get a bad batch?
That’s super odd. I got nothing. That definitely is unfortunate
this mic or baifeili c414 ?
Ooo that’s tough. Let me do a few side by sides

It’s gorgeous
Sounds pretty dang ok too
@@ObscureMics yes it does I’m shocked
Any idea how this compares to a Shure Beta 87a?
Sadly no. Never had that mic....surprisingly
It doesn’t sound bad at all. Thanks for the video, Bark.
🤜🤛 there's a few more Bai fei lis I'm eager to try
- Take the initials of the brand Bai Fei Li - *BFL*.
- Make a new logo with "BFL".
- Re-shape the grill.
- Make versions with various colors.
Then, it gets a 10. ☺️👍
BINGO! It really is that easy
Bai Fe Li 414 is amazing. I got it for less than $50…
Yeah it’s a great option. I love that thing
nice review!
OK. which microphone got 10 on your channel?)
Oh man….i still stand by it
Samson q9x
That xlr cable is better than the one that came with the tonor td510
100%. Lol
I think I know what you think you thought you said. 😂
I like the mic and off axis was pretty good.
I'm not even sure what it is I think I said when I say it these days
$78 at the moment. Tempting!
I saw! Damn near bought another
"Budget banger" is my favorite kind of microphone!
Miiiiiine too
@@ObscureMics I actually want one of these now. I know you don't have the King Bee anymore but how do you think they compare?
Handling noise is off-putting. But, other than that, sounds good.
The only thing I dont like is the color of this but it sounds amazing
I would also like a darker color. A steel grey would be sweet
I wanted to hate it.. But I don't. It's got a little bit of that Chinese LDC sibilance, but otherwise sounds great. Don't love that this company seems committed to copying other companies designs - I have two of their other mics and they're decent too, but are also blatant ripoffs of other mics in the looks department. They could easily make something all-original and great, but they keep making look-a-likes. 😕
I know. I don't get it. It couldn't be that hard to make something original looking
A few stutters and you would be doing your Max Headroom impersonation . . . Sounds pretty good on my work speakers - Monsoons with subwoofer. Keep up the good work.
lol forgot about ol max headroom!
"I like the sheath." -also what she said.
yeah, the rest of us have been pretty disappointed since the mid 80's, lol.
Lol
Sheath it up
I never listened to Limp Bizkit but I was just thinking about the Eminem song Girls and my favorite part to this this day is when he says mf a limp bizkit i never asked care gave a f or wanted an opinion
Loved that feud
It's a bangga! Looks are not my cup of tea, but a sweet sound!
Absolutely. This may be my carry bag mic for a while
Handheld condensor mics Rock 🤘
Heck yeah they do
Ese micrófono tiene un hermoso sonido pero definitivamente no es para sostenerlo con la mano. El ruido que produce el movimiento o el cambio de mano es inaceptable.
exactamente esto es por que es un microfono de condensador con un diafragma de 34mm y ademas tiene una sensibilidad bastante alta
What a name 😅
Sad
Sibilance would probably put me off.
I HATE the naming these companies use.
I didn't find it to be very sibilant. And I agree
Somewhat agreed that it's not all that sibilant. It does have a prominent not-smooth noise in the highs that I don't like at all, but it's not really in the sibilance frequency range. Probably a good mic to mod, for people into all that. Hard to really complain for the price.@@ObscureMics
Yeah the sparkle up top is a LITTLE bit rattly...if it was a tad smoother this would be something crazy good
I wanted this thing to be meh. I really did. Now I this thing.
Now you what this thing
He absolutely the whole thing.
We all this thing
Want. I want it 😂
