5 mics for beginners! Can I guess the mic? Blind test ft Andrew Hsieh 🎤🎙

In this video, we did a blind test on 5 mics (great for beginners) ranging from $20 to $230 in a game of "Can you guess the mic?" Can I actually tell the more expensive mics from the cheaper ones? I want to get a Rode PodMic so the test will help me decide if I should actually get one 😅 I'm an audio beginner and I've been trying to learn more about microphones/audio in general since it's definitely one of the most challenging parts of video production. Big shout out to Tom Buck (https://www.youtube.com/c/TomBuck/) for teaching us all things audio and inspiring us to make this video 🤣 A challenge we faced in making this video was that our interface doesn't take USB inputs, so we had to record on the computer as well as the audio interface (zoom h5) at the same time and sync them in post. We will be looking at the Rode PodMic, Rode Videomic Pro, Mano Elf Lavalier, Blue Yeti, and Innowpow WM200 Thanks for watching my video!
