    I tested it earlier in the year and can say it was extremely impressive. The in-built shock mount was unbelievable with how well it isolated any noise in, around, or to the capsule itself. Never seen a mic refute so much "usage noise" like this one does. You truly barely hear any handling noise. Even muting is whisper quiet.
    On top of this recording quality was top notch and build quality was among the best I've seen, especially at this price segment. Solid metal build!
    Definitely a fantastic option at this price point.

      Funny you say that. I had a few people ask me about it, then I watched your video, then Sennheiser asked if I wanted to try it. So it all kinda fell into place. I think the value proposition, with the included boom arm, is pretty hard to beat.

    It is an awesome microphone, but what impressed me how freakin AWESOME it handles the studio headphones I have. The amp inside is amazing! My ATH-M50's open up so beautifully trough the mic I do not even need to plug them anywhere else anymore. When you buy this mic, you buy 2 things in one. Solid headphone amp and a solid microphone.

    You know, the boom arm that comes with this package brings significant value in itself. This style of boom arm often sells for about US$90, which makes the entire package at US$129 an incredible deal. Most boom arms are cheap painted metal with exposed springs and weak connecters where it mates with the desktop clamp.
    I'm glad that you mentioned the sound isolation from bumping the mic arm, because it's something that many RUclipsrs don't consider. I never thought about it, but luckily my mic (AT2005 USB/XLR) has excellent sound isolation, and I know because I've bumped mine a number of times.
    If I was in the market for a high quality USB mic, this definitely be near the top of the list.

    How do you compare this Sennheiser Profile with Audio Technica AT2020USB-XP? Which one has better all rounded sound and ease of use? I like both of them because they are simply plug and play without any possible software driver issue like Rode microphone with Rode Central in Windows OS.

    i've had the sennheiser profile mic for a while for my twitch streams and i can say i absolutely love it!! the only thing that i wish was different was the mic arm, if you decide to go with the streamer kit. for me personally i find it too short and i wish i could turn/twist the mic easier and in more angles. but that has nothing to do with the mic itself!! its very easy to work with, the quality never fails to impress me. i loooove how little background noises it picks up even without a shockmount. i personally think its one of the best ones out there for its price so i highly recommend it!!

    I would usually maintain that the best deals in audio equipment are from the used market. You can get a pretty good interface and XLR mic for around the price of this mic. Probably even more-so now as a lot of people who fancied themselves podcasters during the pandemic are looking to get rid of their never-used setups. Likewise, I'd usually argue that a dynamic or shotgun mic is generally the better option for anyone without a controlled recording environment (podcasts with other speakers, gaming setups, youtuber studios etc). Condensers simply pick up more, and that includes the background noises and echoes of an imperfect studio.
    However, most people probably don't want to go through the effort of researching and deal searching. There are better sounding mics & better looking mics for the price point, but really at the end of the day once you hit a certain threshold and/or apply some vsts, unless something very wrong is going on, everything will sound pretty much the same over youtube, twitch or free spotify compression (especially with the prevalence of bluetooth). This particular product seems like a pretty good recommendation :). It sounds very good and I doubt there will be many issues with software. Anyone who needs more than this can offer will probably already know what they're looking for.
    For people looking for something inexpensive but of good quality, I'd direct attention to the Razer Seiren Mini (one of Razer's very few good products - the more expensive version is awful), or something from FiFine, though they may be less reliable.
    For those looking for a good USB *dynamic* mic w/ a good OOTB experience at around the same price point of the Sennheiser (which is, again, a condenser) the Deity VO-7U is a good option.

    I am an apogee customer and i think they have the best USB-mics. I built all my RUclips channel with the apogee 96mik. And I also I used it for my music project. But ok, my mic was about 250 €. And you don't need a software to have the best of it, it is plug and play.

    Omg the audio really does sound good. Are you serious you didn’t apply any EQ or compression? Those 2k - 8k sound drastically reduced, like we need it for modern audio without making everyone go “ouch”! Or maybe that’s just me from decades of listening to and then producing music after I turned pro.
    Either way this one isn’t harsh on the years and I love it.

    Great video, is there a way to get this mic into a canon m50 3.5 jack?

    • @Kumofan
      @Kumofan Год назад +2

      Hi, although this is a USB mic, you can probably run the monitoring output of the sennheiser directly into the mic input on the m50 with a male to male 3.5 cable. Depending on the use-case (highly compressed video like youtube, non-professional work, etc), this may be a usable solution. Though it will have to be plugged into a usb port anyway, which kind of defeats the purpose of simplicity there.
      However, this will result in reduced audio quality on several fronts. Firstly, the monitoring output is probably not of the greatest audio quality. Secondly, the M50’s preamp&ADC aren’t as good as the ones in the mic itself, which will introduce some unnecessary noise and possibly decrease dynamic range. Similarly, it’s a lot of added steps where quality can be lost: audio must go from the mic, through its preamp&ADC, then through its DAC to the monitoring output, and then again through the M50’s preamp and ADC. How much this actually affects the end result varies on what exactly the end purpose is, like I mentioned. But I’ll say it’s a lot of money to spend on a mic just to avoid using the main benefit/functionality of this specific one, that being an all-in-one USB unit. You will also lose your live monitoring, which is a great feature, unless you use a splitter, which may further degrade quality.
      A much better solution would be to sync audio in post, which can be done automagically these days.
