Авто/Мото
I just received my new mic today.... Very nice. Big display. Easier menu. On/Off/Volume ontop knob. Fits my hand better... Absolutely worth the money in my opinion.😊
Great video, appreciate the time you put into making this content!
I've watched a few of your videos and I really enjoy what your doing
Thanks!
Love how you break this all down!!
Awesome review
Great review :)
I like this new mic! I will definitely be picking one up soon! Great review!
I won't go back to the stock. It's worth it in my opinion
Stock mic definitly has a smaller speaker in it. You can tell its being overdriven. The volumes seem about the same but the newer mic with the bigger speaker sounds much more level, natural, and clearer.
Def! You can tell right fr the jump
Pretty sweet!
Midland, please get replacement parts for these radios. I would love to buy a replacement lost volume knob.
I like the idea of a bigger screen and a more user friendly menu. I also constantly press the TX button on accident. $90 is a little steep.
Agreed on all fronts. Personally I think the mic is worth it once you have it in your hands. Makes things easy.
Nice video! I didn’t even know about this upgrade. A question about the noise cancelling, does it also improve the reception sound quality when others are transmitting to you?
Omg yes! Everyone in my crew who got this upgrade noticed the difference immediately. We are so much more clearer. It's almost like a phone vs that "radio" noise
But also even those who don't have the upgrade, it still comes out clearer on MY end
I have Revel Sprinter van and I was going to mount the ghost antenna to one of my ditch light mounts. I'm concerned that the van will block the reception from the rear. Do you find this to be a problem on your rig? Great video!
Haven't had any issues. The van isn't what blocks it. I think it'll be fine there! I know a ton of people who put it around that area
Don't you have both of the Midland radios? If so, I wonder if the MXMC01 has the same performance results on both? Nonetheless, this is an awesome breakdown! Thank you. God bless!
I do. Clarity wise the new one is leagues better. Not louder. Interface is def improved. And the biggest thing is ease is use. Performance is gonna come from your antenna tbh. I tested stock, whip and ghost...the whip gives the best reception
Is it possible to set this up so that it also functions as the speaker instead of using the speaker built into the radio?
Of course. There is an option for you to choose where you want the sound to come out of...the radio unit or the handheld or both. I tend to have it coming from the radio in the Jeep but in our 4Runner it comes out of the handheld since the unit is hidden
There’s no speaker in the mic on the old one I thought? Speakers on the base only
No there's def a speaker on the old one because it's the one I use always. My unit is hidden
does the audio play through the handset for the MXT275
Yes. Press the lock button quickly and you'll get to choose if you want the audio to play through the handheld, the unit or both
did I miss it or did this review not test the ANC mic?
I tested the mic around 9:15 mark
Just picked up the new mic for 72.00, well worth it.
It really is!
It’s only compatible with the MXTs with the usb-c port.
Yes. I had mentioned it's for MXT275 and MXT575 which has the USB ports although this has nothing to do with the usb ports. That's just for external charging of devices
@@BaptismOverland Yes, but some models have the regular USB ports, and some have USB-c ports. The Midland website specifies that the new mic only works with the models that have USB-c ports. Owners of the older models with regular USB ports would not be able to upgrade to this mic. I’m assuming this has something to do with the higher amperage required to run a USB-c port (and maybe also the new mic), but that’s just a guess.
@@kellydiver oh wow that's good to know. I figured that they always had USB C ports on them. I'll get clarification and will update the description of this video soon as I find out. Thanks!!
There’s a speaker integrated with the mic?
Yes. That's pretty much the selling point with the MXT575 and 275 is that you can hide the unit and just have the mic be what's visible in your vehicle
I have the new handset and I can’t find that feature….can you another video to use it…
@@jrod4491 you press the lock button once. Then you use the volume button to go through the options.
@@cano1732 yep. And in the menu you can scroll to speaker and choose which speaker you want the sound to come out of. The unit, the handheld, or both.
Thanks for the comparison. Real world testing is better than science. Keep it up. And as a pastor, i wish i had thought of the name Baptism Overload. Take care. Isaiah 6:8
looks like Midland will be taking more of my $$$
No lies told. And they got even more stuff coming this year too....
I just purchased a Midland MXT575 and very disappointed to see that it was made in China. I assume the new mic is also made in China.
There are a ton of things made in China. It doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap or bad. Hell, there's a radio out now that a LOT of people use that's a Chinese company (Waoxun) and we also know how many people own Baofengs (also Chinese).
The real question is if the company is reputable and not just some foreign company putting out knockoffs. Midland has a great reputation with great quality control. Manufacturing might be in China but it's been tested and made reliable. I would look out for brands no one has ever heard of before that are priced super cheap.
Good luck finding GMRS radios not made in china/japan.
The only GMRS radio made is the USA is the BTECH GMRS PRO that I know of.
Now the volume knob will accidentally be adjusted up/dn. Not a good idea IMO
Actually it's been way better! My issue before was every time I picked up the mic the front buttons kept getting pressed. Also the menu was so hard to navigate. IMO I would rather have this mic that mimics how handheld volume knob is and then all the menu items easy to read. It's a very different feeling than the original
Looks like my 275 (USB-A) can’t use the new mic. 😢 Also, looking at the Midland website it looks the new mic doesn’t come with the radio themselves (it’s not reflected in the product images), but you have buy it separately. Is this right?
Correct. It's an upgrade. Maybe one day it'll be the standard mic. Hopefully. And yeah it only works on newer model 275s
Does it have a dimmer switch?
For the display? No.
Intro… Cringe bro.
Then my job here is done. Plus I don't take myself too seriously. Plus green screen is cool.
Intro was funny. I enjoyed it.
I bet youre a blast at parties!!!!
