This was by far one of the BEST comparison videos for usb external microphones. you can hear the clarity and gain difference between each one via voice. thanks for adding the ear palette cleansers between each mic comparison! this is probably the best budget friendly mic in the market that has good quality atm.
I got this exact Razer Seiren V3 Mini USB microphone for my upcoming podcast show and love how compact and portable this mic is for me. Am ordering an pop filter needed coming soon
@@maegnificant I live in a small apartment with limited space. This is all I can do until I hope I get a chance to move to a place. I don't like a bunch of wires everywhere
@@maegnificant This isn't accurate. Depends entirely on mic and setup. Earthworks Icon for example is a USB mic that will blow most sub $300 XLR mix out of the water for a podcast IMO.
Another classic from Bandrew. Like the previous mini it seems to get good results for it's price. To my ears the polar pattern was barely cardioid, with little drop off as you moved away. And it heard the reflection when rear facing a bit too much. For some getting started the bigger pattern could have is uses but the rear pickup would be unlikely to help. I think the longer pickup actually helped with it on the mini stand as it didn't attenuate the voice, but the lack of rejection increases desk and keyboard noise. For a podcast/gaming mic it did surprisingly well in the music tests. So a fairly good cheap all rounder. The mute was well done, but to my ears/eyes there was a slight lag as it turned back on? So no click or thump, but a tiny pause. I don't recall that in any previous tests. I look forward to your collaboration with Neumann on the "YourHue" range of microphones. 🎉😂🧙♂️
I found 20 year old apple earpods in the bottom of a box 5 mins ago. I plugged them into my Sony Xperia (cellphone with a headphone jack) now I'm listening to your audio review on these very "high quality" ear buds. 😂 Idk why this makes me so happy. They sound like garbage
I think if my daughter wanted a mic irrespective of price and sound, just looks, shed go for this salmon-pink bubblegum-ish one. I enjoyed this review… thorough as always, and the off axis test gave ice cream vibes.
The Razer Seiren V3 mini sounds pretty good, I think I’ll go with this since this will be the first mic I plan to go with, I’m no content creator, I just want it for discord or any online chatting I will be doing with friends. If I plan on doing content creation in the future I will get a more expensive one. But for now I’m gonna start a little simpler, plus this is more in my budget. I feel better after watching this review!
Thanks for doing what you are I personally have learnt alot from you regarding microphones and it helped me decide which ones I should buy, it would be really helpful if you could help us newbies add filters to our budget mics in OBS.
Hi, Bandrew, congratulations on your channel! It's amazing! Could you help me with the voiceover mic? I don't have a treated room, so a dynamic cardioid would likely be better, according to your guide. I was thinking about the Shure MV7, but I'm not sure. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you.
It's like a giant Pepto Bismol capsule. "The chocolate coating makes it go down easier." I didn't mind its sound at all, I was most interested in the Rode NTS-mini as that's my gaming mic and never realised the bassiness of it; at least when compared to the Razer, which comes across more neutral. Noise rejection was terrible with the boom arm spring slinky-twanging (I never find your tapping test annoying - it's essential!) which is why I love the Rode desk stand. It's pretty decent for a casual working desk mic. Does it come in black?
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on it. It's not the best at rejections and that's likely because the mount is directly on the mic as opposed to a mic clip or something similar. This does come in Black, I just thought getting the pink one was funny.
Is there a possibility that you can show us what your microphone cabinet looks like? I'm having trouble storing my audio equipment. thank you so much. greetings from Argentina.
i have a question, i know you have a lot of microphones and I've seen you review both of these i belive but what do you think about using two microphones at the same time? my specific request is a sure sm7b with a baby blue bottle as a secondary mic with slightly lower vol that a little farther away than the sm7b? i know they are both great and I'm considering buying them both for this specific reason, i think they will compliment each other very well. if possible id love to see a video on it!
Weirdly I think the OG Mini sounds better. V3 isn't bad especially considering that mute button which is useful feature but when it comes to pure audio I feel like it sounds just a tight more compressed.
Hello, i'm a fan of your channel. Could you review the EHR-H microphone - a mic made in Sweden? I know it's unpopular but the specs seems amazing. Frequency Response : 7Hz - 87.000 Hz and the chart illustrates that is a flattering microphone. thank you so much Podcastage
Hello :D Wich Microphone would you recommend for a Starter at the Moment? I would like to start with Music and do search for a while, for a good Microphone... I dont want to pay some hundret Dollars but 200 would be fine for me D: i thought about the "Technica AT2020USB-X" but im unsure again... :/ I would appreciate your Answer ^^ Your Videos look amazing... perfect reviews D:
Hey @Podcastage... I was wondering would you consider the Rode M2 for live use with keys in the background ? My church wanted to buy a mic, the obvious one would be SM58, but its kinda boring 'cause everyone uses it and its the bog standard. We got a V7, but we need another one as well.
Sorry to have this question (maybe a bit too nooby), but the record settings are set in some specific software or did you use the Synapse razer software? I'm new in this world and I do want a good sound like the one you showed in the video. Mostly for calls in Discord, Teams, Zoom, etc.
I haven’t watched other reviews so I don’t k ow if it’s true but I’m guessing it’s due to Setting it up properly, and having some sound treatment in my room.
Did you find any benefit to the settings available in Synapse for the V3? I'm wondering if they have a gate option in there like you can do with the Blue Voice settings.
How did you record the audio? Did you just plug and play on your computer? I'm trying to test my V3 Mini mic through the native Sound Recorder of Windows 11 but it sounds muffled when I play it back. 😔 Do you have any recommendation for the settings so that my audio would sound clear and crisp like yours in this video? Thank you!
Plugged directly into, recorded directly to audio hijack. I don’t know why it would sound muffled. My first suggestion is to make sure you’re talking into the front of it because it’s easy to talk into the wrong side or the top and get a muffled sound.
What do you think would be the best Mic for under like $60-$70. My use case is RUclips recording and voice overs. I would really appreciate any recommendations you have.
Does the new Razer V3 Mini has more gain than the Hyperx Solocast? does it sound louder at the same volume level? im interested especially at 2 to 3 feet
Hi! I just watched your other video of how to make any mic sound good and following the rule of thumb about the decibels level on windows based on this mic (which is the one I have) means that you went below 0.0? Because mine at 50% equals 0.0db. Hopefully you can see me comment or anybody that has the mic can confirm. Also if I go below 0.0db I know it might sound dumb but, would I clip or distort? Thanks!
@@Podcastagethats just taking up space. Lol. Maybe just have a take of you speaking into it and have that saved in a folder and you pull it out when needed instead of re-recording it every time. Like the u87… coulda done that once and reused it every video. That time would add up tremendously after a while. Just a thought.
Watched this on my cell phone while blow drying my hair. Was impressed that it sounded almost indistinguishable from the Neumann.
Hahaha! You know how to appreciate good audio. =)
🤣😂
Kinda love that you used a pink one. Adorbs
This is the more detailed review I saw on this product
Finally! Someone who does a whole bunch of tests to give real-world examples of how the mic sounds and what noises it will pick up.
I spat my fuckin tea at the start. 10/10 razer moment
The instrumental section sounded awesome!
This was by far one of the BEST comparison videos for usb external microphones. you can hear the clarity and gain difference between each one via voice. thanks for adding the ear palette cleansers between each mic comparison! this is probably the best budget friendly mic in the market that has good quality atm.
Sounds like much improved shock rejection and plosive rejection compared to previous versions - very nice improvements to have!
Danke!
Hearing Bandrew say "UwU" makes me want to minimize the amount of air i breath... Great review 👍
Bandrew’s in his Discord Kitten era
just saw some of your videos while looking at getting my first mic, and love how thorough, and organized all your videos are, earned a new sub
you are a legend in mic reviews. perfect and complete.
That’s incredibly kind of you. Thank you very much for watching.
Wow! The music test was incredible
I'm actually so mad at how much I was laughing at the beginning lol. 😆 Great review, as always!
I Asked for this!! Hell yeah
One of the best, if not the best review of all categories. Comprehensive, smooth, soothing review.
I got this exact Razer Seiren V3 Mini USB microphone for my upcoming podcast show and love how compact and portable this mic is for me. Am ordering an pop filter needed coming soon
Please don't use USB mics for a podcast.
@@maegnificant I live in a small apartment with limited space. This is all I can do until I hope I get a chance to move to a place. I don't like a bunch of wires everywhere

Gotta love how you review Mics. Detailed and direct to the point. you get a like and subscribe for that UwU
I enjoyed what you played on the guitar, it reminded me of Schubert - Ständchen :)

Dang, the music was fire 🔥

hearing you say "uwu" was not on my 2024 bingo card xD
adorable suppository mic
amazing review, thanks for all the info
My iPad reacted oddly, giving distortion. Unusual. Thanks for the video.
Excellent Review bro ! Thanks !
I like this music as well. Some nice rifts. You have videos of you playing as well?
Thanks so much, I appreciate that. I have the BandrewPlays channel but that’s all pretty old stuff.
seiren v3 sound clear and crisp. Great comparison. 👍
The sound quality is insane for the price wow
Sick review, thanks!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
1:40 about a billion people need to see this and learn.

It was kinda nice on electric guitar?
Epic gamer Bandrew. \m/
g4m3r 4 lyf3!
I'll type before the review ends. Is it just me, or does the original Seiren Mini sound by far the best of them all (except the Neumann of course).
Damn, you're a guitar guy too? That's cool, i really like that since i too would like to know how the mic sounds next to an amp
Is there a possibility that you can show us what your microphone cabinet looks like? I'm having trouble storing my audio equipment. thank you so much. greetings from Argentina.
that strat sounded fucking mint out of that mic holy shit

such a good review

beautiful singing :)
Hey @Podcastage...

My church wanted to buy a mic, the obvious one would be SM58, but its kinda boring 'cause everyone uses it and its the bog standard. We got a V7, but we need another one as well.
is this better than the Hyperx Quadcast S? especially with isolation and gain, is it better?
Yes
thank you for the reply
It's bright but in a very smooth way.
"Uwu" almost made me choke on a jellybean which ironically looks very similar to this microphone.
what is the arm stand you were using? do you have any cheap suggestion for that?
Thank you!
Sorry to have this question (maybe a bit too nooby), but the record settings are set in some specific software or did you use the Synapse razer software? I'm new in this world and I do want a good sound like the one you showed in the video. Mostly for calls in Discord, Teams, Zoom, etc.
Will you review the regular V3 chroma? Would love to know if the 150$ range is competitive
Can you review the Rode XDM100 please i just bought it but theres no reviews from you! I would love to know your thoughts
What has my attention here is there is no 3.5 I assume that means the PC only sees this as an input. That would make this a purchase for me.
I dont know how he did it lol, but he made the Razor V3 sound better here, then I've heard on other videos.
I haven’t watched other reviews so I don’t k ow if it’s true but I’m guessing it’s due to Setting it up properly, and having some sound treatment in my room.
I wonder if the pink performs better than the other colors
Did you find any benefit to the settings available in Synapse for the V3? I'm wondering if they have a gate option in there like you can do with the Blue Voice settings.
In the dooblydo? You watch AvE?
How did you record the audio? Did you just plug and play on your computer?

@@Podcastage Thank you! I actually downloaded the Ryzen Synapse app and it fixed the problem. Mic quality is now superb. 😊
What microphone arm r you using ?
You should pay more attention when you edit. There is a distortion when you're four feet away from the Razer Seiren V3 Mini.
In case someone takes that seriously, it was a joke.
The Pink one is a great choice lol, u should review fifine am8
What do you think would be the best Mic for under like $60-$70. My use case is RUclips recording and voice overs. I would really appreciate any recommendations you have.
If I didn't come in knowing this was a microphone I'd think it either vaped or vibrated
That uwu intro will stick with Bandrew forever.
Does the new Razer V3 Mini has more gain than the Hyperx Solocast? does it sound louder at the same volume level? im interested especially at 2 to 3 feet
If you were to choose between this and Airpods 3 for Zoom calls microphone, which would you choose?
how did you manage to make it so loud at only 27% gian level?
Macbook
Hi! I just watched your other video of how to make any mic sound good and following the rule of thumb about the decibels level on windows based on this mic (which is the one I have) means that you went below 0.0? Because mine at 50% equals 0.0db. Hopefully you can see me comment or anybody that has the mic can confirm. Also if I go below 0.0db I know it might sound dumb but, would I clip or distort? Thanks!
Oh the comments I won't leave, about the little pink bean shaped mic.
Price aside, how do you compare this to the Yeti GX?
What comes in the box? Pink cuty😊
Which mic would you recommend for me for recording clean vocals (hip-hop)
so if this is the first time I get a microphone, this Razer Seiren V3 Mini still a great start?
hey, i am kinda confused between the logitech yeti orb and siren v3 mini. can someone tell me which one is better?
he said it in the end of the vid... v3mini > yeti
Please Can you just suggest me which one would be your pick for music at under $50?
Would this be a decent upgrade over my old Newer NW7000 ?
Should I get the razer v3 mini or the fduce slr 40 for youtube and tiktok?
I say v3 Mimi been using it for a few months and it’s absolutely amazing
Tell me youre selling that after this review….
Of course not. I haven't sold a single thing I've reviewed. It all stays here to be referenced for future comparisons.
@@Podcastagethats just taking up space. Lol. Maybe just have a take of you speaking into it and have that saved in a folder and you pull it out when needed instead of re-recording it every time. Like the u87… coulda done that once and reused it every video. That time would add up tremendously after a while. Just a thought.
If i want to start with RUclips without breaking the bank do you rhink the smeen mini v3 will be okay?
This is hilarious and great
I like the original grille, this new one just looks bad to me and seemingly is less effective at plosive rejection too.
*sees thumbnail*
“Bandrew’s reviewing sex toys now… cool, I guess.”
Please review the Fifine AM8 or Tank 3
