    In all these extensive videos everyone keeps missing the clear give away before you even open the box. The hyphen between “delivers” and “warm” on the front and on the back the words “superior and “for” run together into one word. Its that way on every fake SM7B video I’ve seen and only one person caught it.

      Glad to hear it. What did you notice in the one you bought that confirmed it was fake?

      @@WolfmanMadden well it was an assumption more than anything, the price was almost half compared to the rest offers and this was the only seller from with that price and the only one located in china. The box was exactly like the one in the video. After I paid I claimed the money the next day and got it back fortunately

      You easily couldve saved 270$ on it since the fakes ones uses the exact same capsule as the real sure sm7b since its a chinese oem with 80€ parts costs.

    The tightness of the xlr port is also a good tell. The fakes make it much harder to pull the cord out of the mic

    • @WolfmanMadden
      @WolfmanMadden  Год назад

      Good point. I found it hard to know with only one mic if it was too hard to pull out or if that's just how they are.

    You missed the point that the real scam is the real one. $400 for a mass produced tin box, grille. one connector and a few wires in 2023? Come on.

    How to really tell, immediately, whether it's a fake SM7B at a glance: Does it cost less than $399 (new)? If so, it's a fake!

    • @WolfmanMadden

      Lol you’re not lying. The seller I originally bought from claimed to be closing a voice studio and had them gently used.

  • @SpilledBeans
    @SpilledBeans 11 месяцев назад

    Thank you for the video, I'm a little conflicted right now about whether the one i just bought is fake or not because alot of the evidence points towards it being real while some of it makes it seem fake. I guess ill never know until I get it and open it up.

    • @WolfmanMadden
      @WolfmanMadden  11 месяцев назад

      Best of luck, I hope it's real! Looking forward I plan to get my mics from a local music store, but I understand the desire to buy them online when you find a good deal.

    Legit question. What if the differences you pointed out was just an update from 2020-2023? Since there is already a significant difference on the box. Also should have shown the difference in sound.

    • @WolfmanMadden
      @WolfmanMadden  Год назад

      It's possible they changed other things, but I think it's unlikely. You're right, I should have because some may not realize the difference.

  • @VirtuelleWeltenMitKhan
    @VirtuelleWeltenMitKhan Год назад

    But how does they compare sound wise?
    Can you figure out the fake by the sound quality? I assume so.

    • @WolfmanMadden
      @WolfmanMadden  Год назад

      The fake one is way worse. Definitely not worth the money if it was it's own microphone and not posing as a SM7B.

    Dude, I know I'm asking a lot, but could you unscrew the back and show the soldering of the mics? I've just reviewed a hundred microphones and I don't know which ones are real and which ones aren't... but there is one detail that almost certainly says about originality. I want to be 100% sure.
