Give this man the best tech/mic/audio whatever review channel award; Not only vids are very entertaining, but extremely detailed! Truly appreciate your channel and wish you the best.
just want to say that after buying this mic before watching this review you CAN adjust the monitoring volume independent of the PC output volume. this was in possible in windows 10 via the sound > playback > control panel in the menu where you would adjust the sampling rates, you can adjust their volumes independently in the levels tab. not sure about macos though unfortunately.
I just want to let you know you are single-handedly the most helpful source of information for buying microphones. Anytime I’m looking for a new mic I always check to see if you have reviewed it yet. Thank you for all the hard work!
Conducting business via song. While reviewing a microphone. Towards a company that sells products mainly for the music industry. It's as appropriate as it's ever going to be. Great review.
@@Podcastage Thank you. I was pulling my hair out trying to find a mic to use for live streaming and you made the process a whole lot easier and cheaper
Don't know if it is already known, but you can adjust the monitoring volume of this mic by going to the legacy sound settings then playback, properties, and finally levels. Once there, headphone volume adjusts all volume when monitors are plugged into the mic, and mic volume adjusts the monitoring levels. I set mine at 5-10 as it's too loud at 100%.
Great video as usual brother! I got this a couple of days ago and i observed that the headphone output reproduced the sound rather weirdly, when i switched the headphones output and connected them to my laptop jack, the quality was kinda ok, also this mic was so prone to interference, especially when touching it or moving it around that it was really obnoxious, i believe my unit was particularly faulty, so I sent it back, and instead ordered something else I wanted to try! Thankyou so much for all these great videos! I was waiting for this one since a long time! Also, when it comes to comparisons, i think the seiren mini is really a compelling option tbh, however, the lack of headphone output on that one is its biggest flaw i suppose, the NT Usb Mini is kinda good, its a new microphone, nice sample rate options, but the mid forward tone on that one is not for everyone, however with the software or post processing the audio can definitely be manipulated, the yeti nano does offer some nice competition to the 2500x, but the 2500x was kinda bit more open sounding, interestingly, i think the original sounded a bit better than the newer version, i feel that the 2020 usb+ sounded nice too, then between the NT Usb and wave 3, i think the nt usb sounds fine, but its still 16 bit and in today’s time, i think we need everything to be at least 24 bit, bcz no one knows when are they gonna be using something for a video, all in all, the 2500x is a nice to have option, but i think for someone who already has some nice xlr microphones or is planning to have some of them like the 240, NT1, etc, this microphone is not needed for those people, the accessories are truly not upto the mark, and well....its ok, but nothing very special!
@@Podcastage So True brother!, if someone really wants to get good sound and is willing to spend some cash on an xlr setup, they would have so many good options on their hands, the blue ember, the lewitt 240, akg p420,220, AT2035, its a whole great world of them and they all beat this one hands down!
Thanks for the review! I actually bought this as an upgrade from my blue snowball ice since I found it for $20. I'd definitely would be more critical if I purchased it for the $80-$120 price point that I see it right now for new, but for me at $20, I don't have any complaints.
I completely agree with the conclusion. I had this mic, I liked the sound, but sold it because of the inability to adjust monitoring levels. When singing or playing acoustic guitar, everything is fine, but micing up an amp is impossible. Even at very moderate amp levels, the direct monitoring was too loud. If I wanted to play-along and record to a track, I just couldn't do it.
ATR2500x-USB sounds really great and full. We also got this one. I knew this one was gon be a great purchase. Did a couple of recent songs with this one. It’s awesome! I also have another mic “MXL Studio 1 I think” dat is also great! I liked about two more u got on here, but I forgot the names. Dey also sounded fuller (in meye opinion). Now the rest to me sounded to more on the treble side with no bass or low end “if I’m saying dat right.” But overall this is a great video and I’m glad I got to listen to other ones even dat last more expensive one which I don’t really like the sound of. Thanks! I really appreciate!!!⚡️🌪⚡️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the mic. It's always fun to hear what people think of the mics and their applications. Hope you have a great weekend.
As someone currently using the old silver ATR2500 this offers a lot of context for the rest of the mics in your recent reviews! Many thanks Bandrewman, sincerely appreciated! Oddly the original ATR2500 sounds more nasally and with better presence than the X, so this just about immediately disqualifies the X from my consideration since the smooshy, distant sound of the ATR2500 (not to mention the poor plosive rejection) are my main gripes with it.
What an awesome video, man! This changed my trajectory here with buying a microphone (still looking for one to record vocals, but just for fun so i won't spend a lot with one). Ps.: I liked the sound of the ATR2500x, though.
I bought this mic in November for zoom. This review is on point. None of the accessories lasted more than a month. But the sound for spoken word is decent
I used the OG ATR2500 before switching to the 2035. Definitely a good mic for the price. Might not be Audio Technica's heavy hitters, but certainly worth it. Totally "inoffensive"
Wow, this is timely! I was considering this mic and just searched on RUclips to see if you had a video on it and sure enough you just uploaded one a few hours ago! I'm mainly debating between this and the AT2020USB+. Also curious about the upcoming Tascam TM-250U for $100. Thank you!
Regarding turning off zero-latency monitoring or making it quieter idk if this will work on the atr2500x-USB but it works with the blue yeti. --- 1 / Open "Control Panel" in Windows. 2 / Search for "Sound" and select it. 3 / Make sure you're on the "Playback" tab and find your microphone. 4 / Select it and click the "Properties" button. 5 / Go to levels and you should see both "Speakers" and "Microphone". 6 / Adjust the "Microphone" setting to your liking. --- On the blue yeti this changes the volume of the zero-latency monitoring. Don't know if it works on the atr2500x-USB but I'd say it's worth a shot.
Thanks for the excellent review! I just bought this one at a leading US online retailer for under $120. I need the headphone port, but don't need to hear myself loud. Hence, it should be a perfect fit for me for zoom meetings and voice-overs. 😁
Weirdly, I did feel the old 2500 sounded nearly as good as the new one. The tone is really similar. My feeling after listening to many tests is sampling rate is only really noticeable on instruments, especially high gain sounds. For voice, most are suitable, it's just about finding a mic that makes you sound good imo. The Lewitt and Elgato sounded very smooth and similar, though a little quiet(makes sense since I think Lewitt collaborated with them).
I beg to differ. The old 2500 was very bright, and the low end had a lot of cutoff. The newer 2500X sounds warmer with a much airier soundstage. The two sound nothing like each other frankly. I agree on the Lewitt and Elgato, much quieter, I like that but I did prefer the tone of the ATR2500X, but it is bad with plosives it picks those up compared to the Lewitt and Elgato.
Man, this channel is a real gem. Not only is it incredibly, and I mean INCREDIBLY detailed, but it's also got a lot of personality and is rather funny. Love it Even at £53 in the UK, I feel like the Seiren mini is better value for most
The original ATR2500-USB sounds similar to the Seiren Mini. Now I don't exactly have at rained ear as I am not an audio engineer or professional, just dabbled in the headphone audiophile hobby for a bit. Had the Senn HD650 in my collection some time back but replaced it with the Audeze LCD2.

Depending on how you like your sound the original might be more pleasing to those who like a louder, crisper sound but if you prefer a more airy, fuller sound the ATR2500X is obviously better. Couldn't really test for sibilants and plosives based on the tested mic recordings, but I like how the ATR2500X sounds very similar to the Yeti Nano and the NT-USB. I also find it sounds comparable to the nice-sending XLR options like the AKG mic and the other ATRs. I actually think it sounds better than the Elgato Wave 3, which is more expensive. Elgato is terribly sensitive though it seems based on your settings but has less ploives. The ATR2500X sounds pretty comparable to the most expensive Rode NT1 in the list (outside of the Neumann). I would say the AKG mic was actually the best value of the entire caboodle, but it's XLR so you have to factor that into the equation if what you're after is convenience and an all-in-one setup like many of us plebs here.
my atr2100 the non X version started to produce static so im forced to use sound compression, i honestly think this mic u just reviewed would be perfect for me, sounds super good for the price and almost as good as the at2020 in my opinion
Audio Technica, with its decades of research and experience making and selling higher quality microphones, has an unassailable lead in this price category. It takes a lot of resources and, ironically, money to pursue this market effectively, which they are certainly doing. It is risky business to put their badge on very low priced microphones. They’ve just upped the ante.
They definitely have invested a lot of money into the more affordable side of things, and they were one of the first companies to offer stuff at that price if I'm not mistaken. Because of that they have certainly benefited and understood the market potential a lot sooner than everyone else.
Thank you very much for your complete and detailed review! What i want to do is to connect 4 of ATR2500x or Rode NT USB Mini microphones to a laptop using a powerful hub that gives me 4 USB-C ports. Will i encounter any problems or bugs during the recording process in the premiere ?
@@user-uu9qf7vh3y So far the only one I've seen for this exact same price on amazon is the Blue Yeti Nano, which is also reviewed and compared on this channel. Overall my conclusion is that a dynamic mic would be better, specifically the Samson Q2U as everyone seems to be on the same page about its quality for the price, but it costs around 60-70$, so it's expensier, and ugly af. If I go with a condenser, I think I'd get the Blue Yeti Nano instead of the ATR. They both pick more noise than a dynamic mic but are cheaper than the Samson. The downside of the ATR seems to be the lack of features compared to others as said in this video.
I’ve been wondering about this as well, but Ive also been considering the akg Lyra. I think I’m going to go with the atr2500x because I enjoy how it sounds+it’s cheaper+it looks nice
Which USB mic will you suggest for zoom conferences and for casual class recordings, in an untreated living room, with quite alot of background noise? Thanks in advance for your response, and for all your amazing videos.
If it helps anyone, I have the Yeti Nano and the ATR2500x for use on a Samsung S7 tab via a USB-C charge through hub for video calls and other stuff. The ATR2500x clicks over to whatvever sample rate is required by the particular app or setting on the S7 tab and the volume contols also control the levels of the S7. The Yeti Nano does neither of these things and routinely gets in a knot with its sample rates misaligned. Also, the Yeti Nano monitors the mic signal way too loud versus the ATR2500x which seems just right to me. Both mics allow the volume level to be adjusted but the balance between the mic signal and the incoming audio (from Zoom or whatever) remains the same, i.e. they both go up to down together. For these reasons, for me at least, the Yeti Nano is unusable on the Android(v12)/S7 tab setup but the ATR2500x works really well. I agree that the ATR2500x stand seems flimsy, but so far so good here.
Hey man I like your videos! Can you tell me what you would personally choose for recording vocals between the rode nt1a - agk p420 and the at2020. I can’t decide what to get
Hey Bandrew! How does it compare to Fifine K683? Btw, right now I'm using a cardioid lav mic clipped to an old 3.5mm gooseneck mic positioned similar to a desktop mic 😂 currently looking around to see what to buy to upgrade.
That moment I didn’t comment earlier on this video because i recently got a Motu M4 interface in the mail yesterday and have been recording all day with it. (Still anxiously waiting for the review of whichever comes first between the Vanguard Audio Labs V13 tube mic and the Lewitt LCT 840)😭
Hi, I'm in a bit of a dilemma deciding between a selection of mics that includes several within this video. I intend to use this microphone for videos where my voice is the main focus but with music also playing. This is intended as a semi-upgrade to my now old and damaged blue snowball. I've narrowed it down to: Samson CO1U Pro usb, Atr2500x-usb, or the Yeti nano. The CO1U Pro can be found for noticeably cheaper than the other 2 but that is not my main concern atm. Which of these would be the best choice? Thanks
Give this man the best tech/mic/audio whatever review channel award; Not only vids are very entertaining, but extremely detailed! Truly appreciate your channel and wish you the best.

That is a lot of comparisons. Props for jumping back everytime with unique lines instead of just replaying the same clip of sample audio in between.

The best review! Thanks a lot. Have AT 2020Usb + and see no reason to change for 2500x usb, except usb c

I've watched too many of your reviews, I've started saying "Post pRAHcessing". As a Scot, this is concerning.
Bought this product 2nd hand for 50usd/2500 PHP in the Philippines. Great purchase so far!
$50 seems like a very fair price for this. Great find.
Thanks for another nice comparison video. So many of these would all work just fine depending on your goals for the mic.
YES was looking forward to this one! And the 2100x comparison :D
Regarding turning off zero-latency monitoring or making it quieter idk if this will work on the atr2500x-USB but it works with the blue yeti.
---
1 / Open "Control Panel" in Windows.
2 / Search for "Sound" and select it.
3 / Make sure you're on the "Playback" tab and find your microphone.
4 / Select it and click the "Properties" button.
5 / Go to levels and you should see both "Speakers" and "Microphone".
6 / Adjust the "Microphone" setting to your liking.

On the blue yeti this changes the volume of the zero-latency monitoring. Don't know if it works on the atr2500x-USB but I'd say it's worth a shot.
Helpful video as usual :)
Thanks for the excellent review!
I just bought this one at a leading US online retailer for under $120.
I need the headphone port, but don't need to hear myself loud.
Hence, it should be a perfect fit for me for zoom meetings and voice-overs. 😁
Weirdly, I did feel the old 2500 sounded nearly as good as the new one. The tone is really similar. My feeling after listening to many tests is sampling rate is only really noticeable on instruments, especially high gain sounds. For voice, most are suitable, it's just about finding a mic that makes you sound good imo. The Lewitt and Elgato sounded very smooth and similar, though a little quiet(makes sense since I think Lewitt collaborated with them).
I beg to differ. The old 2500 was very bright, and the low end had a lot of cutoff. The newer 2500X sounds warmer with a much airier soundstage. The two sound nothing like each other frankly.

Amazing Mic. In UK the price is £53.00 is bargain for new RUclipsrs and streamers.
I bought it for 56 pound a few days ago. Its a really bargain :).
as always great review
22:40 yes Andrew, we know what nasal means, but thanks for the audio illustration
Do you think this better than the USB plus at2020
Man, this channel is a real gem. Not only is it incredibly, and I mean INCREDIBLY detailed, but it's also got a lot of personality and is rather funny. Love it
Even at £53 in the UK, I feel like the Seiren mini is better value for most
first omggg love your vids you have helped me make thousands of dollars and many more to come!!!
The original ATR2500-USB sounds similar to the Seiren Mini. Now I don't exactly have at rained ear as I am not an audio engineer or professional, just dabbled in the headphone audiophile hobby for a bit. Had the Senn HD650 in my collection some time back but replaced it with the Audeze LCD2. The original ATR2500 is much brighter and sounds more "compressed" (I don't know the term) and feels like it tapers off on the lower freqs compared to the ATR2500X. Depending on how you like your sound the original might be more pleasing to those who like a louder, crisper sound but if you prefer a more airy, fuller sound the ATR2500X is obviously better. Couldn't really test for sibilants and plosives based on the tested mic recordings, but I like how the ATR2500X sounds very similar to the Yeti Nano and the NT-USB. I also find it sounds comparable to the nice-sending XLR options like the AKG mic and the other ATRs. I actually think it sounds better than the Elgato Wave 3, which is more expensive. Elgato is terribly sensitive though it seems based on your settings but has less ploives. The ATR2500X sounds pretty comparable to the most expensive Rode NT1 in the list (outside of the Neumann).
I would say the AKG mic was actually the best value of the entire caboodle, but it's XLR so you have to factor that into the equation if what you're after is convenience and an all-in-one setup like many of us plebs here.
Definitely one of the better-sounding mics on your speaking voice.
I prefered the ATR2500x over the other Audio Technica mics
Is it better than Rode nt-mini?
which mic you recommend for voice cover, singing, at around 100$, at home at this stage
i love the way you talk on video
your voice tone
Great Review! Thanks
Great review!
my atr2100 the non X version started to produce static so im forced to use sound compression, i honestly think this mic u just reviewed would be perfect for me, sounds super good for the price and almost as good as the at2020 in my opinion
I thought the AT2500 blew away the blue nano in terms of sound. But then you mentioned lack of feature set, and, well... hmm...

if I remember correctly, I only used the apple sound settings to adjust the level.

Can you do a re-review of the Samson Q2u? You had positive opinions of it, and a lot of others did too. I wanna know how you think it stands now.
what boom arm do you use?
yo that kiwi christmas poster on the background, you an NZer?
When it comes to the u87 ai, my ears feel such a relief, all of those others sounded toooo harsh and too much low mid to my ears.
In Australia the Elgato Wave 3 is $100 more... and the Rode NTUSB is $50 more.. and the Razer Siren is the same price
The razor mic sounds really good for it's price but I already got the fifine T669 T-T
Hey Bandrew! How does it compare to Fifine K683? Btw, right now I'm using a cardioid lav mic clipped to an old 3.5mm gooseneck mic positioned similar to a desktop mic 😂 currently looking around to see what to buy to upgrade.
It's cool, it sounds better than this U87 thingy
How would you compare this with the Elgato Wave 3? Which one would you prefer?
That moment I didn’t comment earlier on this video because i recently got a Motu M4 interface in the mail yesterday and have been recording all day with it. (Still anxiously waiting for the review of whichever comes first between the Vanguard Audio Labs V13 tube mic and the Lewitt LCT 840)😭
Hello men Its Better than Rode Nt Mini? Plss Answer me. Because I don't know what i buy 😢
Hi, I'm in a bit of a dilemma deciding between a selection of mics that includes several within this video. I intend to use this microphone for videos where my voice is the main focus but with music also playing. This is intended as a semi-upgrade to my now old and damaged blue snowball.
I've narrowed it down to: Samson CO1U Pro usb, Atr2500x-usb, or the Yeti nano. The CO1U Pro can be found for noticeably cheaper than the other 2 but that is not my main concern atm.
Which of these would be the best choice? Thanks
Bandrew what do you think is the best usb microphone?
I think the ATR2500x is the best among the ones compared.
Even I feel the same. Softwares offered by others companies is not useful to me.
I notice that the spec sheets for usb mics almost always seem to omit the self-noise data... 🤔
