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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 🎉😂🧙♂️
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.
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.
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 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!
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.
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 don’t know. Are you speaking into the correct side of it? Is your recording level set appropriately? Are you close or far from the mic? That’s all you can really change. If it’s all correct and still sounds bad, perhaps the mic is broken.
The first 1000 buyers should pool their desktop stands in a large box and return that enormous box full of crap to the manufacturer. Do you think they’d get it?
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.
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
@@luvvxrsa_861 Razer support had said otherwise which is why i needed another feedback/source from a PSN users since there’s ways around it to working despite having some functionality to it since it’s made for PC users.

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. =)
🤣😂
I spat my fuckin tea at the start. 10/10 razer moment
seiren v3 sound clear and crisp. Great comparison. 👍
Gotta love how you review Mics. Detailed and direct to the point. you get a like and subscribe for that UwU

Please don't use USB mics for a podcast.

Im not looking for mics, I just watch these because I love you.
It was kinda nice on electric guitar?
Will you review the regular V3 chroma? Would love to know if the 150$ range is competitive
Hello :D

i thought about the "Technica AT2020USB-X" but im unsure again... :/
I would appreciate your Answer ^^
Your Videos look amazing... perfect reviews D:
Would this be a decent upgrade over my old Newer NW7000 ?
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.
If you were to choose between this and Airpods 3 for Zoom calls microphone, which would you choose?
I wonder if the pink performs better than the other colors

Of course not. I haven't sold a single thing I've reviewed. It all stays here to be referenced for future comparisons.

A plug'n'play toy ... i knew it!
I’m not gonna lie, I hate the colour. And it looks like a, welll…
Kinda love that you used a pink one. Adorbs
This is the more detailed review I saw on this product
I seriously read "semen" in the thumbnail XD

Same 😂
That would be the baby-blue version then?
@@g3cd In that case you should visit a doctor =)
Bandrew’s in his Discord Kitten era
Hearing Bandrew say "UwU" makes me want to minimize the amount of air i breath... Great review 👍
The instrumental section sounded awesome!
Sounds like much improved shock rejection and plosive rejection compared to previous versions - very nice improvements to have!

I heard a uwu from you? is it my birthday or something? nya
you are a legend in mic reviews. perfect and complete.
That’s incredibly kind of you. Thank you very much for watching.

I enjoyed what you played on the guitar, it reminded me of Schubert - Ständchen :)
If I didn't come in knowing this was a microphone I'd think it either vaped or vibrated
owo to you too.
is this better than the Hyperx Quadcast S? especially with isolation and gain, is it better?
Yes
thank you for the reply
If i want to start with RUclips without breaking the bank do you rhink the smeen mini v3 will be okay?
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!

One of the best, if not the best review of all categories. Comprehensive, smooth, soothing review.
The UwU microphone sounds much better than it looks!
Wow! The music test was incredible
Epic gamer Bandrew. \m/
g4m3r 4 lyf3!
I think Bandrew needs to mount two of these on a headphones headband as "ears".
Meow.
Danke!
so if this is the first time I get a microphone, this Razer Seiren V3 Mini still a great start?
*stone cold straight face*....... UwU
Dang, the music was fire 🔥
if it's shit i'm coming to you to get back my 60 bucks
Is this good for zoom calls?
Uhm…does it vibrate?
"Uwu" almost made me choke on a jellybean which ironically looks very similar to this microphone.
This is hilarious and great
I'm glad I'm not the only one who pronounces "uwu" instead of seeing it as some kind of face.
adorable suppository mic
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
Thanks for another video dude. oWo 😂

First time watching one of your vids. Was not expecting the musical interlude! 😂
why does my razer seiren v3 sound like shit, though?
I don’t know. Are you speaking into the correct side of it? Is your recording level set appropriately? Are you close or far from the mic?
That’s all you can really change. If it’s all correct and still sounds bad, perhaps the mic is broken.

“Bandrew’s reviewing sex toys now… cool, I guess.”
The first 1000 buyers should pool their desktop stands in a large box and return that enormous box full of crap to the manufacturer. Do you think they’d get it?

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
Imagine if you knew this guy and you wanted to buy a microphone but decided it wasn't worth it to ask him for advice. 😂
Like for u wu
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).
Excellent Review bro ! Thanks !
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.
UWU
Can you review the Rode XDM100 please i just bought it but theres no reviews from you! I would love to know your thoughts
I like the original grille, this new one just looks bad to me and seemingly is less effective at plosive rejection too.
amazing review, thanks for all the info
This is such an incredibly good and detailed review, you are doing fantastically appreciated work here.
The Pink one is a great choice lol, u should review fifine am8
Rode NT-USB Mini sounds the best for me.
HAHAHAHA!!! What do "Pink Plosives" sound like?
Oh the comments I won't leave, about the little pink bean shaped mic.
Which mic would you recommend for me for recording clean vocals (hip-hop)
Sick review, thanks!
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you!
Does the Razer Seiren V3 Mini work on PS5?
Yes
