the road x50 need a pop filter badly and i would have liked to see what the sound effects did
What if I loss my hair 20 years ago?
Are you using keeps?
@@FutureRideshareMillionaire no, I never heard of it before this video
Harris is the real life npc shopkeeper for stream equipment
Haha so True 😂😂😂😂
I need a fallout and skyrim mod for this now
It sounds good with your voice. It would be neat if you could get some other people to speak into the mic so that we can hear a larger range of voices.
I second this especially since hardly any tech channels test mics using feminine voices 😔
@@amoosed99 More females ought to make such videos. That's an opportunity.
Honestly, the recording seperate audio mix is an amazing addition! Honestly, the software is amazing! The mic sounds pretty good, for the price might needed to be added to my cart

Next up Harris will be using a 4090 to heat his living room
you joke... but.....
Whew! I almost ordered the RODE Pod Mic. Now I'll order this bad boy. Thanks for reviewing the latest 'stuff'. I'm gathering 'stuff' for my upcoming channel. I want 'good' stuff to start. I've done too many projects trying to save money in the beginning, only to spend MORE later to buy what I should have bought in the first place.
The dynamic was definitely worse than the condenser: Way less detailed and a bit boomy, but I feel like that might be the fault of the pop filter. It might sound better with a third party pop filter instead of that sleeve. I love the software, but it does need to be matched with a physical controller of some kind to be truly useful.
I watched 3 videos of Harris reviewing mics, and he always says it’s 3am…noticing a pattern here 😂 At this point it should become a tradition
Your voice sounds great. But what I would love to see/hear is when you do sound testing have ambient noise in the back ground. So that viewers can understand what the mic will and will not pick up. Without adding a gate or compression or other effects.
Great microphones and app by Rode. They are getting competitive in the audio industry.
Circle-slash I think is disable.
As if they haven't been for already for ages?
To be fair, they've been killing it in the pro-audio space for over a decade. But yeah, they're definitely doing more in the streaming/podcasting space lately.
@@PocketDrummer A decade? Try multiple decades. Hell, Larry King was using their mics for his shows way early on in his career.
The pop filter isn't needed IF you position it off axis. For folks looking to limit the plosives, take a look at a sports talk video from Collin Cowherd. He uses a similar style mic, and his videos show how to place the mic and talk by it without puffing air into it when pronouncing certain sounds.
That's such a clever software! Really hope that other brands can look to this and implement that on their interfaces - imagine having a clean AF pre-amp, such as Audient's, and still have all this control!
That dynamic one looks like a procaster but with LEDs and usb instead of xlr. as someone who uses their NT1 condenser for gaming and discord its kind of cool to see them adding stuff to attract more people (gamers and streamers) to them
Side-by-side comparisons are still valuable when evaluating sound quality between microphones. That would greatly inform us of our buying decision if that's the main reason why we would purchase a particular microphone. Then again, different mics also sound different for different people but at least we get an idea. Sure it might sound fine but I personally would like to know if the sound quality + features and software are good enough for the price compared to other offerings in the market.
But the whole point is if both sound fine then pick whichever suits your needs. if you noticed a drastic difference in sound quality from the first to the second, then you have your answer, the first is better, and visa versa. Because at the end of the day, someone isn't going to watch your stream because you have the best sounding mic on the market. If they sound fine to your ears than they'll sound fine to your audience as well.
Pre mix these mics sounded really shallow, but once you started mixing them your bass came back. Thanks for this!

I feel like the sleeve muffles the sound a bit more than preferred (on the dynamic) , and per usual the condenser is just way more preferable to my ears. That mic sounds great.
The XDM100 is a compelling package, especially with the software. Even though it sounds slightly compressed, it still sounded good and seems like a viable option.
The XCM-50 sounded great, but given it’s a condenser microphone, I’d be a bit hesitate to use it. In streaming setups, I just find dynamic mics a lot more forgiving for background noise.
I personally use a Procaster and I love it. However, I also understand that the microphone and all the supporting hardware does not come cheap. I can definitely see the benefits and use cases for both the XDM100 and XCM50.
Also glad we all got to share that moment there 🤝
The software looks the same as elgato's wavelink software, the smaller mic even is a replica of the wave mic
Mic sounds fantastic! Honestly couldn't tell you were using a different mic for a moment there
The symbol question: The general prohibition sign, also known informally as the no symbol, 'do not' sign, circle-backslash symbol, nay, interdictory circle, prohibited symbol, don't do it symbol, or universal no, is a red circle with a 45-degree diagonal line inside the circle from upper-left to lower-right.
Makes me sad that you hate my voice on the podcast.
But this microphone seems like yet again another huge innovation for this market!
So, a question you might make a video from. What’s the difference between the needs of a podcaster and a streamer. Won’t one mic just do… whatever?
One thing that is rarely discussed is the latency in all of this stuff. The time to encode, send, receive, and then process the USB signal adds 20ms and often much more depending on the program and such involved. If you have two people doing a podcast and monitoring the discussion over headphones, enough delay can actually make it hard for people to speak properly, as they will hear their own voice out of sync in their headphones. That means you have to get into having multiple mixes (essentially mix minus for each participant) so they don't have to hear themselves at all.
USB is a wonderful technology, but good old fashioned analog audio is where the sound quality is at! :)
I don't love the sound of the dynamic mic. But it's not bad. Condenser sounds pretty good. Not sure how to judge them without a price? The software though. Looks great. Hope it sets a trend in the industry.
Usually I love dynamic mics but this one doesn't sound good in my opinion, the condenser mic sounded way better.
The software seems really good and having so many submixes is a great idea in my opinion, especially the recording submix for VOD, Elgato should do the same.
I hope that Rode is gonna release an audio interface or mixer with this software.
According to some of Rode's tweets, they are looking to be able to allow users to use the Rode Caster Pro2 and the Unify software/Rode X mics together somehow. But I would really like to see a less expensive option like what Beacn has with the Mix and Mix Create.
The Condenser mike sounded a LOT better if you ask me.
The Other one kinda had a weird tinny sound to it, maybe that gets better when you play around with the options? I would need to hear that though^^
I think usually condenser sound better than dynamics however that's why you normally see people/singers use condensers in a well treated studio
the condensor mic sounds a lot better than the dinamic one
This Might Be A Game Changer 🤔💪🏾✨🔥
Love tuning in to you man, this mic may be a replacement to my HyperX Solocast! throwing it on my Christmas list lol
So you can get monitor mix apps so individuals in a band for example can control there own monitor mix via a smart phone or tablet
If these microphones are for podcasters; why did RODE only release a Windows version of Unify as of April 2023? I'm sure a number of MacOS users would purchase the XDM100 or XDS50 if there was software available to support them.
The dynamic mic looks like my Se Electronics Dynacaster with the red accent filter.
That device what you are talking about with the knobs is called the RØDECaster Pro II ;-)
So they essentially made the RODE Procaster into USB. The condenser rodex is just a recolored NT-USB Mini.
Honestly one of the best reviews for mics with software ever and the dynamic rode 100% the star for me but i believe that a third party pop filter it could be better for this mic. Also they did an excellent job with the software!!!

The intro was horrifying… asked where his knife was, cuts to what I thought was a ridge wallet (thinking it was his sponsor) and he proceeds to cut the box open WITH FUGGIN RAM
Getting sE Electronics vibes with this mic.
Honestly though my favorite dynamic mic is the dynacaster. So many options with a built in preamp. And eq switches. For the price, if simply can’t be beat.
Different mic here but you mentioned sE Electronics (4400a) is also awesome.
@@WyattOShea Love sE! I use their V7 live. and the V7 capsules for my wireless!
@@JeremyLeech Noice I just use my 4400a for discord 😂. Super overkill but I like it.
@@WyattOShea lol great audio is never overkill!!
@@JeremyLeech Haha you're probably right
6:25 it's called the "International No" (Dammit, have your damn comment engagement).
that software is actually crazy good. that's amazing
I am ready for an upgrade and I don't know if I wanna get this Mic with its software or the Beacn mic. Chat help me out what do yall think?
Got to try this out at the streaming booths at twitch con I’m impressed by this thing being a usb mic. The software was a hit or miss a lot of the booths had issues with it. Now as for the microphone on the other hand it did sound good to me. ( talking about the more XLR type one )
Hello fan 👋Thanks for watching and commenting, YOU WON A PRIZE🎖️Message me on telegram, To Acknowledge your PRIZE 🎁!!!!
Sounds good, but I dont like how they loook compared to the Becon mic. Also it does sound less processed than the becon
I personally prefer good old xlr mics with preamps. Preamp make practically 50 percent of sound.
That's why i use discord for people on my stream. You can control the individual inputs to send to stream.
Bro all of those mixes are SO NEEDED
Would love this mic! Always thought I wanted a condenser mic, but now I really want a dynamic mic!
So I have the XDM-100 and I love the mic, but while the Unify software has some great features, it is missing Noise Suppression and an EQ. Which is why I still prefer the Wavelink software. So, I think that if Rode either included Noise Suppression and an EQ in the software or at the very least added the ability to add VSTs, then I would like the software more. Also, you are pretty much forced to use the Stream Mix in OBS. Yes I understand the software is virtual mixer, but I like having the choice of sending one mix to OBS or sending separate mixes to OBS like I can with Wavelink. All that being said, I went back to using my Procaster Mic and Wavelink XLR. I'll keep an eye on Unify and see how it progresses as Rode gets more feedback from users. *EDIT* I do want to add one thing to this, you can use the Unify software with other Rode mics and other mics in general. However, only the Rode X mics give you the advanced features when it comes to adjusting the noise gate, compression, Exciter, and Big Bottom. Also, if you don't have a Rode X mic, you have to pay a $5/month subscription to the software.
Usb mics have gotten so good in the past year.
i prefer the condenser mic over the dynamic but both great, definitively gonna keep the condenser on my watchlist
I am not convinced sadly... I am guessing this is like a cheaper alternative to an XLR paired with Rodecaster..... Clever move but not for me sadly
i love companies are adding more software with their mics
The circle slash is the ghostbuster!
Damn. Things are looking good! I just need that pop filter on my rode procaster to be honest. Looks amazing and much better than the WS2
i just want another device just like the goxlr 😩
what i don't get is that NO ONE has made a device where we can controll 2 computers audio at once.
for 2 pc setups when streaming/recording etc.
The condenser version is a lot more "beathy", as one might expect, but it sounded ok.
The mics are nice enough, but honestly, it's the software that's the key selling point here.
So I'm guessing that these programs would work at a sorta driver level to make any adjustments to your mic in it affect universally?
All I see is a Rode Procaster with USB and new software. I'm already interested to compare with its older brother. :D
What mic did you use to film that ad read? That's the mic I want.
These companies should start selling us their audio mixing apps. I just want to use it with my own mic and set up. Wave link app is great with VST support but it can be used only with Elgato mics or wave xlr unfortunately.
You can use the Unify software with other types of microphones. However, you have to pay $5 US a month to use it.
@@kraevac good to know, I wish it was a one time purchase but unfortunately we are in the subscription era.
would you also consider this mic for recording music? specifically for singing? trying to find a nice mic to use for gaming, podcasting, and singing on the side
Hey Harris, is it possible to do a review for the Maono PD400x and/or PD100
That backdrop in the sponsor segment looks so good!

24 seconds in..
you are an INSANE VIDEO CREATOR OH MY GOD!!! you ripped the adhd out of me 😅 i'm watching this!!!! 💪🏽🤣
I wish brands would move away from the red accents, or at least ALWAYS have an all black/white option. You should never be forced into a colored accent
Sub mixes are key! I’m loving all the new dynamics!
Hello fan 👋Thanks for watching and commenting, YOU WON A PRIZE🎖️Message me on telegram, To Acknowledge your PRIZE 🎁!!!!
The XCM sounded much better to me. XDM sounded kind of muddy. Awesome software though!
this excites me so much! I wish i had these options last year
The condenser sounds great. The dynamic was very muddy imo
Have mine coming. Can't wait 🤘
Hello fan 👋Thanks for watching and commenting, YOU WON A PRIZE🎖️Message me on telegram, To Acknowledge your PRIZE 🎁!!!!
This is a great sounding mic, similar to the Procaster. However, at $250 a USB only mic is not a straightforward decission (even with DSP processing). Definitely their selling point is the great software, so I think a better product could 've been an audio interface with DPS and the same software compatibility at around $250.
The mix seems to start clipping every 20 or 30 seconds at about 3:34 and stops when you swapped mics. Shades of voicemeter.
Seems cool though.
I must say I hate this USBC to C trend. Even really new PC's don't have many C ports. Now I have to waste one on my mic?
Probably not worth it.
I'm curious if that pop filter will be purchasable separately and if it will work with the Rode Procaster. It looks much better than Rode's other pop filters.
I use the pop filter with my Procaster. The XDM-100 is a USB Procaster in terms of look, sound, size, weight...etc. It's like they took the Procaster body, gutted it and added the XDM internals, a headphone jack, and a knob.
@@kraevac Is there somewhere you can buy just the pop filter? I can't seem to find it as a standalone.
@@TurtleMatey As far as I know, it currently only comes with the XDM-100
You are becoming Hairris Heller with that Keeps sponsorship.
Odd question: Have you done any videos about the business management side of streaming or content creation? Granted, many people may not need it until the 'get big', but it is a form of income. Of course, if you have any recommend channels to watch, that would be awesome. Thanks!
Rode makes solid mics and this package seems solid with good features
They both look very nice. Looking forward to learning more about these.
does this mic peak easily? or does it have a limiter like the beacn mic build in?
8:09 did not expect this clip at all but I welcome it 😂😂
Software like this makes the goxlr usless
Would you recommend this mic for Rocksmith using an acoustic guitar? My son is trying to learn and private lessons are not in the cards for me at the moment. Thanks!
that icon is the prohibit icon? like when you see it in no-smoking zones?
For the Dynamic, Voice sound muted. Not super clean. Pretty sure my Pod Mic sounds better/cleaner.
The Condenser one sounded much cleaner & sharper.
"square with knobs" like the beacn mix create?
Was looking at some Hyper X mics and headsets and now after this video, I might change my route 😂
Still using my Blue. Haven't had a reason to change yet.
Do you know if the XDM-100 works with wave link? I was planning on getting the new Elgato Stream Deck+ since it has Wave Link and was wondering if the XDM-100 works with it. I would prefer to have the different source lanes for Mic audio, Music, Game, etc. Would make it easier than the UNIFY software for streaming. I know that UNIFY has it too, but I feel like Wave Link is easier to work with in terms of controlling those different source lanes and gives a lot more flexibility in the settings.
What would you rather use, this microphone and the software, or the Rode Rodecaster 2 Pro ?
sounds purty, definitely prettier without the pop filter
I would not buy a small box with 4 nubs but i would buy a small box that would alow me to add my studio monitors to another device sutch as the GoXLR
Great review as always. I personally don't like the red accents though
This might be a dumb questions. But do most streamers im use a standalone mic for talking to chat and for in game? Or do they use their headset mic for in game chat/party. Because I see some popular streamers with there headset mic flipped out. Thanks
Now we need a showdown video between the Elgato Wave 3 and Rode X XCM 50 and their software.
Wait but doesn’t the rode podcaster usb already exist tho? And it’s like 160 on Amazon? So if you can use the new software with it wouldn’t that be better and much cheaper? Like new design and usb c is cool but is it double the price cool?
I wonder how the XDM-100 compares to the Procaster.
1st, does this mic have onboard signal processing (like the Beacn Mic).. 2nd, since you did reviews on the Beacn Mic, the Elgato Wave system, and now this Mic and software system, do you think you can review the Presonus Revelator USB Mic and or audio interfaces that come with the "Universal Control" software.. These are all fairly close in abilities and price..
with this software rode provides would you even need something like a beacn mixer anymore (if you dont care about hardware)?
I agree the sleeve ruins the look, but I do like the other one as well.
I’m curious how these compare to the original Rode NT USB. Is it just software?
