Also, why does the microphone make you sound like soup (the RUclipsr, not the food), but no mic gives you a complete different sound? Does the microphone change your voice a lot?
Tonor speaking test: 10:58 Blue Snowball Ice speaking test: 12:05 This is so you can quickly switch back and forth between the 2 tests to determine which is better. In my opinion, the audio on the Tonor is definitely less clear and slightly grainier than the Blue Snowball, but still sounds great for $40. I've owned the regular Blue Snowball (not the Ice one) for a little over a year now and it has served me well. Especially when you consider that I've knocked it off my desk 3 times over the past year and it still functions and sounds the exact same as the day I got it.
@@andyhwu2 Yeah you could put it off to your side and still have it work well. The mic can rotate on its stand so if you move it off to the side just rotate the mic so it's facing you.
Agreed...the snowball sounded fuller even with youtube compression and on desktop speakers... and it appears he was actually a bit further away during the snowball test...
My wife is a pre-school teacher and has been doing Zoom classes involving story telling and singing. This would be a huge audio upgrade compared to using her laptop's built-in mic!
I'm gonna be setting up my 1st streaming setup in the next month to start my gaming channel and I wanted this mic. Looked it up and it brought me straight to you. You've told me all I need to hear my man. Thanks a lot and I will be getting this. You got a new Sub.
Perfect review for me ! Thanks a lot for doing this. Keep It up I almost fell out of the chair at 10:24 because I was very attentive and I had to turn up the entire volume to hear the ambient noise and then you said super loud "Ok so..." 😂😂 Greetings from Colombia.
Thanks so much for this review, starting my channel soon and really needed a new mic that was inexpensive! This really helped me with my decision on buying.
I use a Tonor BM-700 for my livestreams and I've had people literally ask me which mic I have cos they want the same one, and they always assume I have a super expensive mic like a Rode or something. They're shocked when they find out it was $30. Yeah, a mic that costs 4x as much is gonna sound better, but it definitely doesn't sound 4x better. The Blue Yeti is MORE than double the price and is notoriously fickle. Tonor seems to be super easy to get good sound out of. Tonor is definitely an underrated brand.
Got this mic myself, quite good audio without using my mixer but does lack on the backround noise alot. With the mixer sounds crisp clean as if you were in a radio studio, I would very much recommend this mic.
@@nixss5168 I’m no mic expert or anything but having used a blue snowball mic before and this it’s definitely worth it if the price is still the same and hasn’t risen
I have to say, maybe it's my sound system but you sounded way better with the snowball ice compared to the tonor, there is actually depth to your voice from the blueball whereas the tonor is a lot flatter.
Nice video! I ordered this mic and it should be here tomorrow.. the only thing I’m worried about is the fact it doesn’t have a mute button.. hopefully I can setup some keybinds to mute it with the keyboard
mmitev62 My main mic I use for recording my “talking heads” is the rode video mic pro+ and when I’m away from my setup, I use a zoom h1 digital audio recorder and a lav mic.
So I have been saving up the money for a full PC battle-station. I currently have a monitor and speakers which I have been using with me school laptop. I'm still saving up for a good headset and an actual PC, but you know college isn't cheap so this has been a two year process saving and looking for deals. I would use the mic to talk to my friend on discord who is stationed in Fort Benning, Georgia.
Just ordered this along with a new BenQ EX2510 and my 2nd monitor will now be the benq xl2411p and my mic will be this one instead of using my hyperx headset lol
@@RAVisuals ya mine was at 75. I turned it down to 60 so its a little less but still doesnt sound as good as yours lol. I have an old laptop so maybe thats why
just an fyi its no longer 40$ its now 27.19$ which is way more cheaper,from the reviews ive watched before this one,its a pretty good mic,so i suggest you buy it,im saving up for one myself
Compré el Tonor TC-777 gracias a tu review. Soy maestra y lo necesito para que mi voz se escuche más fuerte. Es la primera vez que compro un micrófono. Anteriormente usaba gaming headsets pero eran de gama media y tenía que pegar a mi boca el micrófono. Espero que mi audio mejore. Gracias. I bought the Tonor TC-777 because of you. I'm a teacher and I need it to improve my audio. Specially the volume of my voice in the video call. It's the first time I buy a microphone. I used to do my video calls with gaming headsets but it was middle Gama. I had to bring the microphone very close to my mouth and that was annoying. I hope it improves my audio. Thanks.
I want to record my music because I been using headphones and that background noise is too loud so I haven't been able to drop anything but I'm hoping this mic changes that!!!!! Awesome Review 💯
Did you end up getting it ? I record my music off a standard snowball and it's not crispy how I want so i want to know if this would be a good next step.
@@gwave9489 I actually did buy this Mic thanks for asking. The quality of this mic is really good for the price really serves the purpose of making music with good quality sounds.
@@apaulaquinones yess I think it would pick up the sound of an Guitar but I suggest being in a quiet environment for it to pick up all the sound. My only issue is that sometime it gets an echo noise when recording.
I have the Samson Q2U and it sounds just great I take it about the same price as this mic it was 45$ on amazon and it comes as USB and XLR if I want to upgrade my setup in the future i wont worry about the mic!
My samson q2u just broke because it won't turn on. I even ordered a new cable but it still won't work. This is about half the price of the samson and I believe it is just as good if not better.
how do i connect the shock mount to a 3/8 female to 5/8 male adapter? i’m trying to put it on a third part boom arm that has a 3/8 thread but the shock mount can’t connect
Kicking myself for missing out on the Best Buy deal on the HyperX (less than $140). I was very disappointed in the clarity of your voice on both the snowball and the Tonar. Was it perhaps a bad setting on your end? And what mic are you using for this video not just in general? It sounds good.
Thanks to you, I have high, high, hopes for a livin- microphone.... I may or may not have searched for reviews after this was posted. But thanks for the in depth review.
What the hell man? What the fuck are you doing? You're reading my mind in the past and giving me the videos I needed EXACTLY. First the windows key video, now this!?! Good God, you're a mind reader. Subscribed ;)
I have no idea if it’s my computer but I have had this mic for 3 months now and it worked perfectly (sound quality and all) until about a couple days ago when I noticed a static-buzzing sound in the background, even when the mic was still and I wasn’t recording anything. I have a macbook air 2019 with the latest software update and latest version of garageband. the mic is connected thru a usb-c dongle that has 3 USB ports an HDMI port and a charging port. I do not think the issue comes from the dongle or the microphone. I have also had the exact same noise with my previous mic, which is why I got rid of it. I have tried changing the sensitivity, but even on the lowest setting there is no difference. Idk if anyone can help me on this, but I would really appreciate it because all the YT videos on this subject don’t relate to my issue. 👍
I have the exact same Blue Snowball and was looking to get a new one of a similar price range, so this video was absolutely perfect for me, definitely getting the Tonor! Brilliant review, like and sub from me!
Hey man, I don't know if this is a bad place to ask, but I was wondering if the Ryzen 7 3700x is a worthy upgrade from the Ryzen 5 1600x? I've been thinking of upgrading but am unsure as it's a very expensive cpu

I just bought one for a deal of 30 bucks it’s sounds very quite. I’ve upped the volume in windows and OBS and stuff. I don’t really know how to solve this.
Well, I first would like to use it for my son's virtual school work, they have video class room Mon-Fri and my mic on my head phones are always going in and out very static i don't know what's wrong with it/ Then second gaming and talking to person and people can stop complaining about my mic.
i usually recommend dynamic microphones for streamers, they do better at outside noise rejection, cost less, and are more durable/reliable and work better with just about any arm
Guys! there's a giveaway in this video! You have to stay till the end to figure it out though!! Or just check the description 😂

It doesn't pop and crackle. I'm sold.
I got this mic and im getting a lot of hiss sound. Yours sounds really good, How do i get rid of the hiss sound?
Have you checked your mic levels? It may get a hiss when you have it turned up to the maximum I believe I had mine at 85-90% in this video.
@@RAVisuals ya mine was at 75. I turned it down to 60 so its a little less but still doesnt sound as good as yours lol. I have an old laptop so maybe thats why
CurtisEmusic yeah it might be the fan from your old laptop :(
For some reason when I use it there's big background noise. Anyone know how I can fix this?
I have it too. I get the background noise from the fan on my pc, but I can't stop it in hopes of streaming.
move it further away from your pc
Is there a mute button on the tonor
not on the mic itself
Do you think this would be a good starting option for recording music? Like guitar, vocals, etc
It’s not made for that specifically but if you need something on a budget this would work for sure!
just an fyi its no longer 40$ its now 27.19$ which is way more cheaper,from the reviews ive watched before this one,its a pretty good mic,so i suggest you buy it,im saving up for one myself

What mic was being used when not doing the tests? IT sounds better than both the tonor and the snowball.
late but blue yeti
I call the cardioid pattern a "bubble" pattern because it's a half bubble

nice!
