Just bought this in the UK for £9.99 (around $12.50)!

[@hl236]

Impulse bought one from curry's today. Couldn't resist as it was £9.99 and only one left on the shelf. Haven't tested it properly but this video gives me the confidence that I have made a great purchase.

[@LostWon]

I could clearly hear the difference in each of mics tested. The Neat mic sounded the best imo. It captured more of the low end of your voice while not losing detail in the mid frequencies. To my ears it has a slightly warm tone that would work great for voice over/podcasting/streaming. Neat has another winner!

[@arildoyen8705]

It's a really good mic. A lot of folks are confused by talking at the top of it like the SM7V, so be sure to speak in front of it where the knob is located.

[@terencedouglas1402]

I like the all around sound of the bee mic because it and an analog richness that is hard to get with digital. But the Yeti blocked more of the keyboard noise. Thanks for the review.

[@ssjbkg]

The yeti sounds like it was underwater

[@peluchetv7494]

I want to sell the mine till i discovered the bumblebee 😅

[@SamXcolbyFan1167]

Did he say its for $100.0 😮i bought it for £10! 😂😂

[@aarongoleman]

Must have gotten a great sale it's on sale here in america for 28 forgot to add that

[@SamXcolbyFan1167]

@@aarongoleman thats good

[@kitpalencar5165]

Still on Amazon for $30. Great deal and my daily mic. Has quite a bit of background noise and picks up a lot of keyboard noise for sure. Filter might help? idk

[@thelittlemouseshouse]

Thanks for the helpful review. Just to left you know, when you click the link for the Bumblebee II in your description, it takes you to the Blue Yeti instead! Thought I best let you know!

[@auchd2234]

Nice review. Btw you have almost same voice as another youtuber TronicsFix, i was confused for a moment 😄

[@Abujoudofkush3178]

What software are you using to optimise the bumblebee? It doesn't sound this good.

[@Godjayel]

This is a dope review, I got this mic, it gets the job done for the price.

[@chefshay81]

Is this any good for voice over work?

[@lmaokay_84]

Mine has a lot of static could there be a reason?

[@mr.engineear0987]

I definitely need one of those

[@9to5toys]

The more I listen to it the more I like the sound of it! 🖤

[@mr.engineear0987]

@@9to5toys is it good sound cancelling in the background?

[@9to5toys]

You can hear in the mic test that it still picks up some keyboard noise in the background, but it's not terrible.

[@lil_pipiyt2497]

I just bought this mic I would like to know if I’m able to use it on my ps4?

[@mk20000]

Great Video!

[@SwerveNation]

So on the turtlebeach site it says the neat b2 has a internal shock mount. Is this not true?

[@gayfish6801]

it probably is but internal shock mounts arent really good

[@SwerveNation]

@@gayfish6801 why

[@IAmNeomic]

@@SwerveNation Although it varies from mic-to-mic, usually internal shock mounts still pick up a lot of resonance. You are much better off putting this or really any mic on a boom-arm with a decent shock mount.

[@SwerveNation]

@@IAmNeomic thanks

[@Trustmehcuh]

Best with Mixcraft

[@ktxtrain]

neat and nice :)

[@Hobbes64343]
