se2200 is more warm and vintage with a touch of presence, and lewitt is not warm that's why i should prefer the se2200, and the nt1-a is not natural at all and miss some details...
Hi Edward, I‘ve often used your comparsions to compare interessting mics with some I own. I‘m not a fan of this sort of music you make, but I will say to you, that you are a very good singer with a beautiful voice, and a very professionell Mic-expert. Thank you 😊
I hear high frequency noise at Aston...(I use a Sennheiser HD600) I think Bluebird is the best of these. Nice bottom / top and characteristic sound. Thanks for the video. (Y)
Yes, but it has that scooped out lower mids that make it sound a little thin and cheap. Compare it to the AKG C414 and you instantly hear what i mean. It's far easier to start with a mic that has good highs and lows and scoop out the mids yourself to approximate the 440 Pure tone, than to try to get the 440 Pure to fill out that hole in the sound
Ran into your channel because I’m looking for a new condenser mic, and your videos are super helpful! It’d be cool if you were using each mic when describing that mic, so we’d have more audio for comparison.
I love your videos man! These comparisons are incredible! This is EXACTLY my budget, and I will be pairing it with the Motu M2. Thank you :) I think I'll go with the Aston. Actually, on second thought, I really like the sound of the SE2200.
I have the same interface I was aiming for the lewit but it seems it picks up wind the most seems like the wind filter was doing much for the p’s and b’s
Your honest opinion, which do you think is more professional, the SE 2200 or the Aston Spirit? 🤔🤔🤔 referring to both quality and ease of mixing, flatter, etc...
you should take the se2200 i think, because the aston has less low frequency et it's also not warm at all, if you want a warm sound go for the se2200, otherwise go for the lewitt 440 witch is more turned on high frequencies
For now I have the microphone that came with the focusrite bundle, but since I don't use it that much I don't feel the need to upgrade it yet.I feel like my set up would benefit more if I invested in some decent studio monitors. But if I ever feel the need to upgrade my mic, I wanna get a Rode nt1a!!
Bro I had literally the same thing as you last time, I have the focusrite bundle and wanted to upgrade but honestly what I feel like is more important are headphones so you can EQ the vocals to sound more professional and the mic is actually pretty good honestly
I have the aston and bluebird and a rode nt1a...blue bird is great if u want a warm sound the nt1a is very balanced and the orgin is dull and picks up high end frequencys like crazy...if you make more than 1 kind of music genre or sub based genre then id recommend having more than 1 mic
Don't get it too close, my initial thought was: omg, how bad the guy's speaking, but when you started singing it was: wow, he's singing as good as bad he's sounding when speaking. What a great vocal! Thanks, man!
@@EdwardSmithMusic Im buying this Microphone next for my Home Studio Thanks for always giving us the best videos about everything for home studio and affordable Microphone love your videos Edward Blessings
hello, your video is really great, I bought an aston spirit but I find it hard in the treble, which microphone do you recommend? I'm looking for a microphone with warmth, presence, but no sibilance in the treble
I want to match one of them with the Shure SM57 for clean electric guitar. Which one would be better? -Lewitt LCT 440 Pure -Aston Origin -Sennheiser e906
I'm a rapper, my voice more like Isaiah Rashad, but I do sing R&B too sometimes, overall mostly rap.I was planning on getting the MXL CR89 or the SE2200, now I'm confused, which you think it's better for my voice
Buy the NT1 for £60 extra - not the 1a also the lewitt 440 pure both if you can (one dark one bright) RODE NT1 is indistinguishable against Neuman 103 or is it 102 anyway at £1,300 !! Get a Neumann almost for inexpensive £200 - high quality AND less harsh RODE - I have NT-1a ONLY best used off axis and keep mouth at least 6 inches away !!
I want to get a microphone for my home studio. But I have doubts between the two models. Rode NT1 Kit & Lewitt 440 pure Which one do you think is more worth buying?
People keep putting a pop filter in front of the Aston Origin, sorry the pop filter is built around the diaphragm. There are so many bad test that users don’t get to have a fair judgement. Y’all are killing a great $300 mic when you mess up the test.

thanks Ed, great content, all of the mics are in the same league, hard to choose one
Tengo el at 2020 y el lewwit 440. El 440 pure es mejor capta menos ruido ambiente. El at2020 no está mal por el precio y pega súper bien con las voces más graves y profundas
Do you have ideally at minimum a USB 3 port on laptop... Get a second SSD external drive partition it - songs, for your audio, and samples... not USB 1
Hey Ed! Ive been commenting the last while about this, i make beats with budget gear YOU recommend! I was wondering would if u were making a budget gear vid u could feature my beat?
Recientemente compre un ASTON ORIGIN, es un micrófono muy hermoso pero suena opacado o poco sensible, tienes que acercarte mucho para que se oiga mas grave y hay ciertas palabras que resaltan mas. hace poco vi en una publicidad el Lewitt 440 Pure, y ya escuchándolo en estas comparaciones Aston origin se queda atrás.
Debo de haberme equivocado, neta compré el Aston origin y me encanto el sonido suena con mucho cuerpo la voz, pero vi una publicidad de prueba del Lewitt, la voz se oía fantástica y lo compré, cambiando por el Aston, pero cuando grave, es increíble lo fatal que suena, suena la voz muy baja, y sin cuerpo, me toco que devolverlo, ahora no cambiaría jamás mi Aston Origin.
@@gersongamarro3057 yo ordené el Aston Sprit- estoy ansiosa por recibirlo. Yo iba a comprar el Aston Origin pero estaba out of stock en todos lados, entonces me tocó comprar el Aston Sprit que lo tenían en un súper buen precio. Hay alguna razón porque no probasteis el Aston Sprit? 🙂

A trick: you can watch series at KaldroStream. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies lately.
@Yusuf Nash Definitely, I've been watching on kaldrostream for months myself :D
Thank you man! Love you for this!
Blue + Origin have special look and unique to me, in terms of the sound, you can't go wrong with any of these. All have great sound.
LCT 440 definitely took the win, the NT1-A / SE2200 close 2nd place.
I mean are we speaking objective specs, or what frequencies you prefer?
se2200 is more warm and vintage with a touch of presence, and lewitt is not warm that's why i should prefer the se2200, and the nt1-a is not natural at all and miss some details...
Hi Edward, I‘ve often used your comparsions to compare interessting mics with some I own. I‘m not a fan of this sort of music you make, but I will say to you, that you are a very good singer with a beautiful voice, and a very professionell Mic-expert. Thank you 😊
I bought earlier this year the se2200 and it has deliverd crystal clear vocals and guitars
Awesome!!
I've had one for years. It's a great mic but a bit too harsh in low highs for rock vocals
I actually own every one of these mics. My favourite by far is the SE! It sounds a lot more expensive than it is.
I hear high frequency noise at Aston...(I use a Sennheiser HD600) I think Bluebird is the best of these. Nice bottom / top and characteristic sound. Thanks for the video. (Y)
Se2200 is amazing for the demanding needs of my single mic bluegrass band. I’d buy again.
I prefered the Lewitt LCT 440 Pure on your voice. It's clearness picking up all details, no harshness… (compared to the others).
Thanks 🙏🏻
This video is spot on. All these mics are perfect. You can’t go wrong with any.
Thanks for watching!!
Pure
i’ve been doing a ton of research and man your videos have really shown me that the Lewitt 440 Pure is the option for me!
It is a great microphone!!
Yes, but it has that scooped out lower mids that make it sound a little thin and cheap. Compare it to the AKG C414 and you instantly hear what i mean.

You can’t go wrong with either microphone. Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
I have the same interface I was aiming for the lewit but it seems it picks up wind the most seems like the wind filter was doing much for the p’s and b’s
Also go with blue baby bottle SL.
@@EdwardSmithMusic Every mic has its own world of taste.
which mic did you get? i have the motu m2 too!
Everything sounds great, I just think it all depends on how the engineer is going to mix your voice!
That's very true!!
Your honest opinion, which do you think is more professional, the SE 2200 or the Aston Spirit? 🤔🤔🤔 referring to both quality and ease of mixing, flatter, etc...

Great video man! Hope you can do a “best of mic under $500”
Thanks man! I have a video coming up soon, where I'll be comparing all the microphones I have ranging from ($70 - $700)… so stay tuned for that one!
@@EdwardSmithMusic Looking forward to this one!
Hi, Edward! Can you recommend a recording mic for someone who moves a lot when they sing? Thank you for this wonderful review of mics. SO helpful!
Yes, absolutely! The Lewitt LCT 440 Pure is a great pick!
You had that Blue Bluebird Humming bro sounded very very good
Hi! Great video thanks! Between the blue and the lewitt which one would you choose?
Thanks for your video~! Which mic would be best if I were just recording songs at home？
SE2200 for the win!

@@bloodomen2794 tbh yea after upgrading it to a warm audio 87 yea but tbh still decent tho
@@Andre_Ang i just bought the bluebird mic
@@bloodomen2794 you Fw it?
Another great job Edward! These microphones look really tough
Yes they do! Thanks for watching!!
Aston comes with pop up filter so it better sounds maybe without external one
Damn I love the way the Lewitt sounds. There's almost no comparison to my ears glad I watched this before I bought the Aston.
It is awesome! Make sure you check my Lewitt mic comparison as well - th-cam.com/video/6YqZQqHjqc8/w-d-xo.html

Keep up the GREAT work bro love your stuff
hi Mr Edward Wich one is better aston or rode please ( voice over)
I don't drink no coffee I drink tea my dear ! lol that was fire
Lewitt has the warmest tone for me. Sounds amazing.
I want to match one of them with the Shure SM57 for clean electric guitar. Which one would be better?
-Lewitt LCT 440 Pure
-Aston Origin
-Sennheiser e906
I would go Lewitt!
NT1a
I'm a rapper, my voice more like Isaiah Rashad, but I do sing R&B too sometimes, overall mostly rap.I was planning on getting the MXL CR89 or the SE2200, now I'm confused, which you think it's better for my voice
LOL..THAT OUTRO SONG IS FIRE🔥🔥🔥😂
I have an AT4040 absolutely love it
Great microphone for under $300 🙌🏼
mad talent! thanks for the video, thought of getting the rode NT1-A because i've used it already but you convinced me to check out the sE
I have the Rose Nt1-A and it’s perfect for me!
It's great!!
Does it pick up background noise?
Not surprised the blue bluebird is here
This helps me alot! The rode nt1-a is only 140 in the UK ;)
Awesome!!
Buy the NT1 for £60 extra - not the 1a also the lewitt 440 pure both if you can (one dark one bright) RODE NT1 is indistinguishable against Neuman 103 or is it 102 anyway at £1,300 !!

@@robinspat OK thank you 😊
my dream mic is nt1a ... may be i can buy when i get rich one day
Buy an NT1 not the 1a off EBAY or Gumtree
Thanks for posting. Where is the Lewitt made? Thanks.

Brand new great video❤️🔥😎😎

Coming soon I promise 👌🏼
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thank You so much 🙏
Love your content!
Thank you so much!!! 🙏🏼
For singing , how would u give them the evaluation starting with the best ? Im hesitated 😐😐
For rap vocals like Nas or Brooklyn style what is better Aston Origin,Rode NT1A or Lewitt 440 pure?
Get the Lewitt!!! Sounds great for rap vocals.
@@EdwardSmithMusic Thanks bro 👌
For someone with a really deep voice that raps. What option would you think is best ?
I like the Lewitt for rap vocals 💪🏻
Nice video can u tell what audio interface did u use plz?
Thanks! I used the Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 - amzn.to/3n0K80d
Dude, that voice! Also, great review, thank you
What is the best type of microphone that will pick up EVERYTHING I'm making a food eating videos and I need to pick up every single sound
In that case, the Rode should be a good option. Link in description 👌🏻
I want to get a microphone for my home studio. But I have doubts between the two models.
Rode NT1 Kit & Lewitt 440 pure
Which one do you think is more worth buying?
Rode NT1-A
People keep putting a pop filter in front of the Aston Origin, sorry the pop filter is built around the diaphragm.
There are so many bad test that users don’t get to have a fair judgement. Y’all are killing a great $300 mic when you mess up the test.
thanks Ed, great content, all of the mics are in the same league, hard to choose one
Thanks for watching!!
Hey Edward. Happy Sunday buddy
Thanks Richard!!
SE and NT 1A
Got the Bluebird. I love it.
Cantas excelente
Rode nt1a es el mejor de todos para grabar voces en mi opinion
Pero para otros instrumentos el lewitt esta excelente
Is there a huge difference between these and an At2020?
Tengo el at 2020 y el lewwit 440. El 440 pure es mejor capta menos ruido ambiente. El at2020 no está mal por el precio y pega súper bien con las voces más graves y profundas
Cual suena mejor?
Nt1 o nt1a?
I want to upgrade from my AKG P120 this is very useful
Glad this video helped!!
Why is the akg 120 bad for rapping
You can really hear the crispness in the rode. That ain’t bad
Hey, what would be the best mic for a deeper voice when recording vocals?
The Rode NT1-A would be awesome for a deep voice 💪🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you so much!
Great vid subbed and voted
Awesome thank you!

Sir which is better se2200 or lewitt lct 440 pure ?? Sir please reply.
I would go with the LCT 440 Pure
Love this song! Nice job
Great cover song!!
Thank you so much!!
I got the aston it has a annoying crack at high frequency and a very flat dull sound wouldent recommend it ..unless your good with the eq mix
Thank you so much

Much appreciated!

One quick q, Lewitt 440 vs Aston Origin vs se2200 vs sennheiser mk4 vs Bluebird vs Blue Baby Bottle
Which one suit best for female vocal pls
I would go with the Lewitt LCT-440 Pure.
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you!💖🙏
What about Warm Audio WA-47 jr ?
Definelty a great microphone under $300!
out of these mics whats the best one for someone who has a boomy voice with scooped high mids but alot of sibilance?
The Lewitt is a fantastic option (link in description) 👌🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic sounds like there’s a bit of a boost in the highs
Lewitt 440 brighter or NT1 £200 - good neutral that stand up against Neumann 103 or 103 at £1,300 can’t remember which at moment ... not NT-1a
What is this song bro ?? I love it 🥰
