Made my mind up, I'm going to buy the 800.
lol,
+NanookiyART woosh
+Matthew Welborn Lmmmao riiiight ....
he keeps calling it 700 tho xD
That's because I'm stupid and didn't want refilm the whole thing to correct the mistake. =)
When recording acoustic guitar with only one mic, position it around the 12th fret instead of in front of the sound hole. Almost any (good) studio condenser mic will sound "boomy" if you position it in front of the soundhole. The fact that the NW-700 doesn't shows it lacks low end. That might be fine for some situations, but in many situations you will want that low end.
I found the mics pretty much identical. Personally I prefer the BM-800, bought one recently and it's an amazing mic. It even beats mic's 7 or 8 times it's price.
BarkingAunts what i shell buy? meteor mic of samson nw800 or nw700?
you can tell me what do you think about BM-8000 ? what is better, bm-8000 or behringer c3 ?
I don't know about the Behringer's quality never tried that one, I like the sound of the BM-800 a lot but most of the time personal taste makes a lot of difference. The review makes it pretty clear what to expect from the BM-800 I'd say.
Ya that is absolutely true, if you are not getting the dimension then you can't perfect it. Though what it seems that NW-800 will be good for vocal purposes as of that tight low end, difficulties will be lesser I think.
the electric guitar with the nw sounded just awful. it should be in an ear rape compilation.
Got my bm800 mic today. it works perfectly well with my built in audio card without any phantom power!
Audio is completely clean and sounds loud.
My motherboard is an Asus rog z270e.
It sounds amazing!
3:14 OMG SOOOO GOOOOOOD!
Yeah I know I' good
True
I got the NW-800 and I'm happy with it. I will say that speaking into the dead spot back of the polar pattern gives a neat affect since it attenuates the highs. Gives you a deep ominous bassy sound.
While they were pretty much identical in virtually every test, I personally feel like the BM800 picked up the amp better, coming from a person who is getting into self production of music particularly of the hard rock / metal side of the spectrum, I feel like the BM is the better choice. Thanks for a comparison! Ordering one in the next couple days!
Your singing isn't too bad honestly!
Jacob Falk That is one of the most excruciating compliments I’ve ever heard.
Pablo Andrade you talking English?

Coming back to a older video like this one is nice. The BM 800 is one of the most famous mics for creators in my country even though there are cheaper ones that sounds better in my opinion. The greatest selling point is that the BM 800 has a nice design compared to other budget friendly mics.
Hi could u please suggest me those cheaper ones thanks
@@somerandomgirl1 i'd like to know too
i will literally pay you to set up your pop filter.
I never understood this, half of these come with pop filters or wind filters and reviewers never put them on for comparison. Drives me nuts. Not for this video in particular but a lot of them. One guy said ehh I forgot it upstairs so i'm not gonna test it WTF!
It is to hear how do mics react to pops
Ik I was going to say the same thing that was brutal
2:24 RIP Headphones users
This is the best microphone review/comparison I ever watched. No bullshit and straight to the point!
BM 800>NW 800
BM 800 is better
Yup
is it cause it's more expensive? or did you base your statement on some kind of fact
Boog i think the same
Yup
Boog nah NW800>BM800
NW-800 plus phantom power power supply plus foam wind screen plus all the necessary wires: £19.79 or $26.93
I'm picking up the BM800 as my starter mic for streaming, videos, and podcasts. Can always get better one later.
To me the NW-800 sounds thin and tinny, so given the choice I'd go for the BM-800. They were both very poppy as well, and the quality falls off really quickly with distance. For vocals I'd recommend using the BM-800 with a pop filter, no more than 6-8" from your mouth.
This was very helpful for me, thank you so much. BTW, I love your vids!
Very surprised you chose the NW800. To me it sounds thin and I also hear some muddy cutoff in mid frequency. The BM800 is not so sparkly and a bit boomy but very easy to EQ out I think. Basically the sm58 basic EQ :D
Thanks a lot for this video. Gonna buy the BM-800 instead of the NW-800 kit because of your video review. I immediately noticed the "boominess" of the bass-end of the sound the BM-800 immediately. Again ty for the in-depth review and God bless!
I think they both would be better in certain applications, but overall I think I like the lower end feel of the BM800, and I think that may help avoid some of the hiss and room noise (most noise problems are higher frequency, if I'm not mistaken).
You said NW 700 when you were testing the NW 800
one of the FEW reviewers that bothers to not only do ACTUAL demos, but the goes beyond just voice recordings and does different sources. the only thing i think that could make these demos better is throwing in extreme high & low frequency content like bass and kick drum plus cowbells, but considering just how much everyone else's ALLEGED demos suck, that's just nit picking. judging by the superior +4kHz highs and +7dB sensitivity, i expected the floreon to win & have airier highs, but specs never tell the whole story. thanks for your high quality demos. keep up the good work and MAYBE, down the road, you might do shootouts in stereo so both mics are recording the exact same thing that you can toggle back & forth between.
Very good comparison!
I think the BM-800 sounds better for instruments (especially, guitars) than the NW-800, which is better for vocals.
..but, considering that both are chinese-branded mics, and look VERY close each other (this model seems to be pretty standard), I think some differences in sound could be the result of several manufacturing inconsistencies (as with much of chinese-branded stuff). Perhaps, it's probably to get a BM-800 that sounds like a NW-800, and viceversa.
I wasn't aware how important is the microphone for the videos, but I learnt it through the journey! Excited and awaiting my BM-800 to arrive, to see what difference it will make on my videos!
Good review - thank you!
Side note: Have you ever tried covering any Smashing Pumpkins songs? You have a voice very similar to Billy Corgan. (That's a compliment!) :)
Wow! Interesting watching one of your videos from 4 years ago. This video was very good but you have improved tremendously in 4 years!
(My comment is intended purely as a compliment)
I thought they were the exact same thing just under a different name but the BM-800 is miles better.
Man, I can't get enough of these videos. Great job. Just subbed.
I'm more into acoustic guitar and liked the low on the BM-800.
THank you kindly.
i just bought the bw-800 and i like it better. i am happy
with my choice
I was hearing such good reviews on the bm800 that I decided to buy one and check it out. As a talk mic it's ok but there is distortion when the audio is loud. So I decided to dismantle it and see what type of mic insert it is.. The insert sits in a plastic holder 30mm wide. The actual insert is 15mm dia. but being curious I prised it out and with fine side cutters (wire cutters) I peeled away the metal casing and surprise surprise, the actual insert is a Radio Shack insert 10 mm dia which sell for $4.99. On ebay its 80 cents, So as the old addage goes you only get what you pay for. Gaz Sydney
There is a lot of fizz happening on the Neewer mic during the electric guitar portion of the video. You also didn’t place the mics in the same position so that could account for the discrepancy in tones. The BM clearly sounded better in that specific test.
its 3:30 am where I live and I have 3 tests coming up today and here I am.
+ItsJawzGaming Go Study! HAHA! =)
Podcastage
didnt have to. all went well!
ItsJawzGaming Congrats man. Well done.
It truly is insane how good all of these BM and NW microphones are I have two of them and I couldn't imagine needing another mic at all and I'm pretty good at engineering soooo, yeah
i just took delivery of a bm800 which I paid $23 aussie..thats like usd $15....delivered!!!! I am blown away. Running it through a behringer fca1616. I can only run this with phantom power engaged, does not work without it. completely usable little mic for classical guitar and vocals, which is I have tested so far. I have mics of a similar quality like studio projects that i paid $150-200, and the bm800 is similar in every way..at this price I imagine QA at the factory is not great, and may be plenty around that aern't functioning properly. definitely going to order another..try my luck again. been home recording for 20 years. i can't believe you can get a mic for this price, let alone one that sounds decent..amazing bargain.
If this isn't about the best comparison video I ever watched
Ha Ha... Your reviews were alot more generous starting out. I think you would have skewered these Mics in 2018. Rock on!
First of all Thank you Postcage for making this video. I will go for BM 800. It sounds better in my opinion.
happy to help.
Amazing picture quality !!! what is your camera?
Canon t6i
@@Podcastage OOH SO I SHOULD GET ONE OF THOSE
Pretty good on those strings, and you sound better than most artist today.
BM 800 is the best
This my opinion!
You actually are good on the bm 800 microphone lol 😂
Late to the party here, but thanks! decided to get the BM, just because of the pricing =)
Thumbs up for actually writing a banger on that acoustic. Not joking. It sounded good!
the BM800 sound clearer to me with the guitar on both the electric and acoustic but that could be the RUclips compression making a difference
Deeply appreciate your videos. I am getting ready to start recording and these videos are a huge help.
They are literally re branded versions of the same mic
William Ogden there's a minimum difference
slight differences
William Ogden stop over using the word “literally”.
Bm better tho
I'm loving how everyone's trying to pick between the two which is better... there's something you guys don't realize. They're the same exact mic. They're made in the exact same factory in China, but they're rebranded by whoever wants to order it through alibaba and put their brand name on it. Seriously, I'm not lying. Go to alibaba/wish/aliexpress and look for yourself
love the series keep it up
Thank you very much.
*Decision is hard ???*
BM800 for me. It gives more sound body.You can ad some eq and roll off bottom end. It will be difficult to add bottom end to NW artificially without distortions.
I think the BM made your voice sound fuller. Each one could be okay after some post production e.q. as long as the noise was low. I recently picked up a bundle from a company called "5 core" that looks exactly like your two mic's. I'm working on doing a review, but your reviews are so much better 😁
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on them. I doubt my reviews are better than your swill be. These early videos of mine are pretty terrible. Good luck on the videos.
I think, as with any product.. it depends on the brand name… the maker… not just the type of microphone
The NW-800 Sounded more tubelike to me. Just warmer a bit more solid overall on the Frequecy spectrum.
Man you are really great at testing mics !
thanks for making this video. was considering both microphones, but now the choice is clear.
Awesome man! Happy to hear that! =)
I'm getting the BM800 in a few days and I can't wait get get it
Hope you enjoy it!
this was brilliant. Subbed. Loved the Big Baby. Nice singing.
Good eye! That big baby has been treating me well for about 15 years.
Hey...!
How do you remove feedback noises coming from mic or interference.
Get a audio interface and abit of editing. Don't use the 3.5mm jack
+Podcastage , Can you do a V.S video of all the Neewer NW mics and all the Excelvan BM mics together or say what's the best mic of all of them?
Agreed, thanks for the comparison
Why this mic sounds good to you? I have these mics and it really sucks
that feeling when these mics sound just as good as your 350$ rode mic
Lol
Nah you’re just bad at mixing
can u do the same video with a usb sound card
i feel most of em will go tht direction
samit shirsat im doing it without a phantom and without USB so wish me luck Lol
Wessel de groot how did it end up?
I just got my floureon BM 800 and its the same mic, and i'd definately recommend getting a phantom power source, genuinely way more clear and crisp.
Lawd hey I got a phantom power supply for my BM 800, but the mic sounds a bit low ( low volume) is there something I'm doing wrong?
BM-800 gives more detail and bigger sound. The NW-800 gives flat and short sound
Thank you for the easy explaining about the audio interface and the versus series. ive purchased myself the behringer um2 and a bm700 .. love it. thanks to you!
Happy to help! Enjoy your gear and keep on making! =)
Awesome video! As always! I mean come on! When do you ever make a bad video?
+Benjamin Ewald Watch the early videos. HAHA! THey are ROUGH.
you should make a video showing an overview of your desk setup
Thank you for very comprehensive review! Amazing!
Great video. For vocals, gameplays, tutorials, podcast... Which is the best?
Can you Review the Behringer C-1U? You did the C-1, but not C-1U and I think the phantom power can make diferent quality between them.
+HadesPlays I think the main differentiating factor would be the actual preamp. Not the phantom power. But if you check the poll, the c1u is already on there.
of course I have to watch the review after I ordered it
NW 800 sounds high pitched.
A great review, and your pop punk sounds pretty much like all pop punk bands!
You were actually good man i enjoyed hearing you play
Cheers man. I appreciate that.
Thank you very much man!! this was really useful
is BM-800 WINNER!!! LOL
The NW sounded better with talking, but the BM sounded better with instruments because it had more bass.
Oooooooh. I like this series!
Thank for that. While I am a cheap buyer I do struggle in buying those cheap products bcoz of low budget. Afraid it useless haha now I feel comfortable to buy. Thank
You said 'newer NW-700"
*I know this is a year late but idc, the mic is called the "Neewer NW-700."*
well you still get that its the nw 800
@@stepdad1241 no
Your great at singing sounds awesome to me 👍
Great comparsion. I'm looking for new cheap mic rn, and i think that guirar part of video helped with my decidion. I never thought to use BM-800 for home music recording, but it sounds cool.
Which one would be better for beatboxing?
I disagree with the verdict, but it was still an interesting comparison. Thanks for sharing.
+JunJP02 As I said it was very close. Very similar sound with minor differences in the low end. The most noticeable difference was on the electric. Thanks for commenting.
Hey man, thanks for a professional review btw but I had a question. Do you think it would sound ok if I just use the xlr to 3.5 mm jack or would it sound terrible or like not even work? Like would it be necessary to get an audio interface and would it be necessary or would the mic quality be good enough for me to use just to play games with friends sort of.
Another great video :)
I think the NW heard you more too at 1 foot then the BM. Kinda a shame as the BM I think it was was full range. Where the other 1 is not really.
This Video is that what i needed
Yo compre el neewer nw-800 pero no tiene la rejilla dorada fina, mas bien es como la del otro, porque será?
Which one do you guys think is better for singing? Please help
I think a good versus would be the samson go mic vs the blue snowball/blue snowball ice
+IceManLT Yeah. That would b einteresting.
+Podcastage u actually I's a very good singer and also I purchased the bm 800 does it come with a stand
It does not unless you ordered a microphone package that specifically says it comes with a microphone stand. You should check where you ordered it from and look at what is included.
+Podcastage it show pictures of stand so does that mean it is included
+Podcastage u deserve a million subs for being awesome and helpful
How did you get your mic to work in the um2? I don't hear anything coming from it. I plugged my phone into the combo input and I got very little sound
edit: i received a defective device. I returned it for a refund. I read more reviews on the product and many others have stated that either one of the inputs were dead or they worked but produced an audible noise in the background.
Thank you again! :D
1:54 NW-700
i honestly love you videos
+b- boy You my friend are too kind. =)
this video really helped me today thx
hi got the neweer 800 cause it was sold locally for $20 and I got to take it home right away :)
This best video for beginners.
both are amazing
I use my Nw-800 for live streaming, I use a usb sound card and I had a hissing noise but not anymore but when I talk, I hear a corrupted noise sounding like a hacking sound effect. Any help?
SeaMambaX the USB sound card that comes with it is garbage get a new one I'd say get a phantom power device
