The fact that it has the M269 switch is such an awesome thing. This may be the next mic on my list. I mean you could get 4 and still spend less than the reissue. That EQP shootout sounds amazing.
Sounds nice. I agree that the 67 type suits you voice best, at least compared to the other mics you’ve demoed for us. Thanks for that. I’m buying the BU67.
Yeah there's just something about a 67 that just suits me the best. Thanks for checking out the video! Let me know what you think of your BU67 once you get it!
@@SeawellStudios apparently! I was deep into the u87 comparisons you did and then rolled on to this. Seems like no contest imo. The issue is, for my home studio, that price point is slightly outside of being justifiable. The Serrano on the other hand…
@@mrcarpentertoyou yeah for whatever reason the BeesNeez 87 just doesn't do it for my voice. I kind of feel the same way about a vintage 87 though so that means BeesNeez pretty much nailed it. I much prefer the Serrano on vocals, it has a slightly extended top and scooped mid that just works . BeesNeez 87 on instruments is where I love it though!
I agree, which is why I decided to cover those different modes in part 2: th-cam.com/video/svDxPfkT17c/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUNYmVlc25lZXogYnU2Nw%3D%3D Thanks for checking out the video and I hope you enjoy part 2 as well!
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! That's a tough call. The 87T is doing a similar thing to a C800g which is of course THE Rap and Pop sound. Having said that, the 269 mode on the B67-269 could get you in that range too. The B67-269 would be the more versatile mic overall. I don't think you could go wrong with either!
I have not heard the BU47 yet. I have heard the Tribute 1 and it is a a wonderful 47 style mic so I'm sure the BU47 is as well! It's just a matter of whether a 67 or 47 is a better fit for the voice you're working with. I think if you're planning on using it on more instruments and a general workhorse mic then I'd usually go the 67 route there. Hopefully I can get ahold of a BU47 sometime soon and have some further input but I hope that's helpful for now!
@@SeawellStudios Thanks for your reply. It's for male rock/pop vocals and the occasional acoustic guitar. Not the best treated room. Probably looks like the BU67 is the way to go.
I am curious because I watch your videos faithfully and the vocals in your gear demos are superb, what is your vocal microphone of choice? I know that different mics are used for different applications and vocalists, but which mic would you recommend? Also, how does this mic compare to a U87 Ai? Thanks.
Thanks so much for your kind words! My main mic of choice, and what most of the examples on this channel have been tracked through is the Korby KAT mic. The 67 capsule in particular is my favorite vocal mic but the 251, C12 and 47 capsules also get used often depending on the vocalist. Regarding the BeesNeez vs U87ai, I prefer the B67-269. Particularly with the switches for different modes, it's very versatile and I prefer it as a vocal mic for sure. I hope that helps!
I have a pair of BU87, very happy. I'm thinking of grabbing a BU67 for vocal duties. The Stam 67 is also a possibility, did you shootout with it by chance ?
I personally prefer the B67-269. I'm not sure of the differences from a build standpoint but sonically, the B67-269 was much better for me singing into it.
@@SeawellStudios awesome. Thank you for the reply! Can you possibly share the sonic differences between the two? I have my eye on the Mahalia, looking for a 67 style mic and it seems interesting.
Hey brother I need help! I’m torn between a bu87i c and Serrano s87. But the thing is I have found a bu87 for $499 and the Serrano I would have to save the extra $200 and buy it direct for $725. Should I pick up that Bu87i c or save for the Serrano ?
I'm seriously considering getting both the Stam47 and the BeesNeez 67 after watching your reviews. I've noticed that the BN67 has 2 versions - the updated version seems to be better. But honestly would you say that the 67 alone is enough? Or does the 47 have a different-enough sound to justify keeping both? Say if I was to cover the Elvis or Sinatra would the 67 get the job done or would the 47 sound best in this instance? Main singing style is more like Axl Rose (both the lows and the highs)
I hope to have the BeesNeez MKII here soon! Normally I'd say for Sinatra or Elvis you'd definitely want the 47 clone but the BU67 had more low end than you normally get out of a 67 clone(which was a nice surprise!). They are definitely different enough to own both. Maybe it would be worth ordering both at the same time so you can truly shoot them out on your voice and then just return one? Keep me posted, I'd love to know what you end up going with!
@@doctorspraktijk yeah man, new well pump, refrigerator and tree removal all in the same month really did a number on me! It's honestly nice during times like this, that gear holds its value so well.
As you know i love ur vids and this time we get an opinion lol. How does it hold up against manley ref. Im in the market for a tube mic and this is with in budget. Please let me know your thoughts on those two if not others in the price point. Thanks in advance
Occasionally I can't hold back the opinion haha. I have not used any of the Manley mics at all unfortunately. I've long had them on the list of mics I'm interested in but have just never come across them. I got a chance to check out the 67 and 269 modes on the BU67 and they are quite a bit different to me so it's really like 2 mics in 1. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful with the Manleys but if I get to use one I'll let you know!
Immediately my opinion it has too much weight like a slow reaction resonance in certain frequency range on The voice so I stopped listening. I like this channel I apologize. It could be the Chandler doing it .
No need to apologize, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts! With any of these videos, I just hope to provide a resource for people to hear something that may interest them enough to get it in their own studio and listen further 👍🏻
The fact that it has the M269 switch is such an awesome thing. This may be the next mic on my list. I mean you could get 4 and still spend less than the reissue.
That EQP shootout sounds amazing.
Yeah the price is unbelievable! I'd love to hear your voice on it!

Yeah there's just something about a 67 that just suits me the best. Thanks for checking out the video! Let me know what you think of your BU67 once you get it!
Whew man. This sounds stunning on your voice.
Thank you so much! 67 style mics usually suit me the best and I think BeesNeez really nailed it with this one.

I definitely ordered one. Great job demoing it 😊👍
I’m so glad you enjoyed the review! I hope you enjoy your BU67, it’s such a great mic 👍🏻
Would be neat to hear the different modes, but the mic sounds great on its stock setting-and very u67 like.
Thank you!
I agree, which is why I decided to cover those different modes in part 2: th-cam.com/video/svDxPfkT17c/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUNYmVlc25lZXogYnU2Nw%3D%3D
Thanks for checking out the video and I hope you enjoy part 2 as well!
would love to see how this compares to WA67 and the original also if you can get your hands on it. looking forward to a shoot out!!
Thanks for the feedback, I'll see if I can line that up in the near future!
The more you sing out (more air moving), the better you sound and it sounds very good.
Thanks. I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger on this one.
You’re so welcome!
your videos are awesome! would do you pick between this and the Stam 87T for rap & pop vocals?
Thank you so much, I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! That's a tough call. The 87T is doing a similar thing to a C800g which is of course THE Rap and Pop sound.

I'm looking at purchasing the mic. Looks very promising. How does this compare the bu47 sound

Hey Matt, I have not had a chance to try a Stam 67 yet. I’m sure it’s great as well! I’d love to get them in here to compare at some point.
Sounds great, but a shoot out would be revealing to!
Let me know what you’d like to hear it against and I’ll see what I can do!
@@SeawellStudios well a reissue u67 my friend!!!! Great review though
@@davestanley357 I was hoping you'd say something cheaper but I knew that one was coming! haha. I'll do my best to line that up at some point.
So what’s the difference between this and the mahalia? Which one did you like better?
I personally prefer the B67-269. I'm not sure of the differences from a build standpoint but sonically, the B67-269 was much better for me singing into it.
@@SeawellStudios awesome. Thank you for the reply! Can you possibly share the sonic differences between the two? I have my eye on the Mahalia, looking for a 67 style mic and it seems interesting.
Mahalla was more mid range focused and the B67-269 had a more sweet/extended top and bottom.
Hey brother I need help! I’m torn between a bu87i c and Serrano s87. But the thing is I have found a bu87 for $499 and the Serrano I would have to save the extra $200 and buy it direct for $725. Should I pick up that Bu87i c or save for the Serrano ?
For vocals I’d go with the Serrano. If it’s primarily for instrument tracking I’d go with the BU87. I hope that helps!
Instant big grin when the vocal came in. It just sounds so polished. Great performance too!
I really appreciate that Josh! So glad you enjoyed the review.

Hi Josh, GREAT review and GREAT sound ! BUT whatever happened with the "best ever" vocal compressor ? :-( ..... It got replaced by de RS ?
Life…life is what happened 😫 I will be reunited with it one of these days!
@@SeawellStudios Ha ... Life sucks sometimes :-)
@@doctorspraktijk yeah man, new well pump, refrigerator and tree removal all in the same month really did a number on me! It's honestly nice during times like this, that gear holds its value so well.
@@SeawellStudios pfff real bummer .... hope that you make some money real soon !

@@SeawellStudios thanks as always
What was the Pre ?
Shadow Hills Quad Gama
Any compressor in that chain ?
Where Buy?
Directly from BeesNeez is the only way to purchase that I know of: bit.ly/3tXUAdQ
Doesn't sound fuller and flat like vintage U 67. But overall it is good sounding CM
Yes its not really close at all.
