This was by far one of the BEST comparison videos for usb external microphones. you can hear the clarity and gain difference between each one via voice. thanks for adding the ear palette cleansers between each mic comparison! this is probably the best budget friendly mic in the market that has good quality atm.
I found 20 year old apple earpods in the bottom of a box 5 mins ago. I plugged them into my Sony Xperia (cellphone with a headphone jack) now I'm listening to your audio review on these very "high quality" ear buds. 😂 Idk why this makes me so happy. They sound like garbage
I got this exact Razer Seiren V3 Mini USB microphone for my upcoming podcast show and love how compact and portable this mic is for me. Am ordering an pop filter needed coming soon
@@maegnificant I live in a small apartment with limited space. This is all I can do until I hope I get a chance to move to a place. I don't like a bunch of wires everywhere
@@maegnificant This isn't accurate. Depends entirely on mic and setup. Earthworks Icon for example is a USB mic that will blow most sub $300 XLR mix out of the water for a podcast IMO.
Is there a possibility that you can show us what your microphone cabinet looks like? I'm having trouble storing my audio equipment. thank you so much. greetings from Argentina.
Another classic from Bandrew. Like the previous mini it seems to get good results for it's price. To my ears the polar pattern was barely cardioid, with little drop off as you moved away. And it heard the reflection when rear facing a bit too much. For some getting started the bigger pattern could have is uses but the rear pickup would be unlikely to help. I think the longer pickup actually helped with it on the mini stand as it didn't attenuate the voice, but the lack of rejection increases desk and keyboard noise. For a podcast/gaming mic it did surprisingly well in the music tests. So a fairly good cheap all rounder. The mute was well done, but to my ears/eyes there was a slight lag as it turned back on? So no click or thump, but a tiny pause. I don't recall that in any previous tests. I look forward to your collaboration with Neumann on the "YourHue" range of microphones. 🎉😂🧙♂️
It's like a giant Pepto Bismol capsule. "The chocolate coating makes it go down easier." I didn't mind its sound at all, I was most interested in the Rode NTS-mini as that's my gaming mic and never realised the bassiness of it; at least when compared to the Razer, which comes across more neutral. Noise rejection was terrible with the boom arm spring slinky-twanging (I never find your tapping test annoying - it's essential!) which is why I love the Rode desk stand. It's pretty decent for a casual working desk mic. Does it come in black?
Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on it. It's not the best at rejections and that's likely because the mount is directly on the mic as opposed to a mic clip or something similar. This does come in Black, I just thought getting the pink one was funny.
Hi, Bandrew, congratulations on your channel! It's amazing! Could you help me with the voiceover mic? I don't have a treated room, so a dynamic cardioid would likely be better, according to your guide. I was thinking about the Shure MV7, but I'm not sure. Do you have any suggestions for me? Thank you.
Weirdly I think the OG Mini sounds better. V3 isn't bad especially considering that mute button which is useful feature but when it comes to pure audio I feel like it sounds just a tight more compressed.
The Razer Seiren V3 mini sounds pretty good, I think I’ll go with this since this will be the first mic I plan to go with, I’m no content creator, I just want it for discord or any online chatting I will be doing with friends. If I plan on doing content creation in the future I will get a more expensive one. But for now I’m gonna start a little simpler, plus this is more in my budget. I feel better after watching this review!
i have a question, i know you have a lot of microphones and I've seen you review both of these i belive but what do you think about using two microphones at the same time? my specific request is a sure sm7b with a baby blue bottle as a secondary mic with slightly lower vol that a little farther away than the sm7b? i know they are both great and I'm considering buying them both for this specific reason, i think they will compliment each other very well. if possible id love to see a video on it!
Hey @Podcastage... I was wondering would you consider the Rode M2 for live use with keys in the background ? My church wanted to buy a mic, the obvious one would be SM58, but its kinda boring 'cause everyone uses it and its the bog standard. We got a V7, but we need another one as well.
Hello :D Wich Microphone would you recommend for a Starter at the Moment? I would like to start with Music and do search for a while, for a good Microphone... I dont want to pay some hundret Dollars but 200 would be fine for me D: i thought about the "Technica AT2020USB-X" but im unsure again... :/ I would appreciate your Answer ^^ Your Videos look amazing... perfect reviews D:
Thanks for doing what you are I personally have learnt alot from you regarding microphones and it helped me decide which ones I should buy, it would be really helpful if you could help us newbies add filters to our budget mics in OBS.
Did you find any benefit to the settings available in Synapse for the V3? I'm wondering if they have a gate option in there like you can do with the Blue Voice settings.
Sorry to have this question (maybe a bit too nooby), but the record settings are set in some specific software or did you use the Synapse razer software? I'm new in this world and I do want a good sound like the one you showed in the video. Mostly for calls in Discord, Teams, Zoom, etc.
Does the new Razer V3 Mini has more gain than the Hyperx Solocast? does it sound louder at the same volume level? im interested especially at 2 to 3 feet
What do you think would be the best Mic for under like $60-$70. My use case is TH-cam recording and voice overs. I would really appreciate any recommendations you have.
Hello, i'm a fan of your channel. Could you review the EHR-H microphone - a mic made in Sweden? I know it's unpopular but the specs seems amazing. Frequency Response : 7Hz - 87.000 Hz and the chart illustrates that is a flattering microphone. thank you so much Podcastage
How did you record the audio? Did you just plug and play on your computer? I'm trying to test my V3 Mini mic through the native Sound Recorder of Windows 11 but it sounds muffled when I play it back. 😔 Do you have any recommendation for the settings so that my audio would sound clear and crisp like yours in this video? Thank you!
Plugged directly into, recorded directly to audio hijack. I don’t know why it would sound muffled. My first suggestion is to make sure you’re talking into the front of it because it’s easy to talk into the wrong side or the top and get a muffled sound.
Hi! I just watched your other video of how to make any mic sound good and following the rule of thumb about the decibels level on windows based on this mic (which is the one I have) means that you went below 0.0? Because mine at 50% equals 0.0db. Hopefully you can see me comment or anybody that has the mic can confirm. Also if I go below 0.0db I know it might sound dumb but, would I clip or distort? Thanks!
@@Podcastagethats just taking up space. Lol. Maybe just have a take of you speaking into it and have that saved in a folder and you pull it out when needed instead of re-recording it every time. Like the u87… coulda done that once and reused it every video. That time would add up tremendously after a while. Just a thought.
I haven’t watched other reviews so I don’t k ow if it’s true but I’m guessing it’s due to Setting it up properly, and having some sound treatment in my room.
Watched this on my cell phone while blow drying my hair. Was impressed that it sounded almost indistinguishable from the Neumann.
Hahaha! You know how to appreciate good audio. =)
🤣😂
Kinda love that you used a pink one. Adorbs
This is the more detailed review I saw on this product
I spat my fuckin tea at the start. 10/10 razer moment
The instrumental section sounded awesome!
Sounds like much improved shock rejection and plosive rejection compared to previous versions - very nice improvements to have!
Danke!
Hearing Bandrew say "UwU" makes me want to minimize the amount of air i breath... Great review 👍

you are a legend in mic reviews. perfect and complete.
That’s incredibly kind of you. Thank you very much for watching.

Wow! The music test was incredible
I Asked for this!! Hell yeah
I'm actually so mad at how much I was laughing at the beginning lol. 😆 Great review, as always!
One of the best, if not the best review of all categories. Comprehensive, smooth, soothing review.

Please don't use USB mics for a podcast.

I think Bandrew needs to mount two of these on a headphones headband as "ears".
Meow.
i ordered this mic and i searched up to see how it is i found you adn this is a funny reveiw

is this better than the Hyperx Quadcast S? especially with isolation and gain, is it better?
Yes
thank you for the reply
If I didn't come in knowing this was a microphone I'd think it either vaped or vibrated
Weirdly I think the OG Mini sounds better. V3 isn't bad especially considering that mute button which is useful feature but when it comes to pure audio I feel like it sounds just a tight more compressed.
Damn you know how to do a great review. Thank you!
The sound quality is insane for the price wow
This is such an incredibly good and detailed review, you are doing fantastically appreciated work here.
hearing you say "uwu" was not on my 2024 bingo card xD
what is the arm stand you were using? do you have any cheap suggestion for that?
In the dooblydo? You watch AvE?

What has my attention here is there is no 3.5 I assume that means the PC only sees this as an input. That would make this a purchase for me.
I wonder if the pink performs better than the other colors
I like this music as well. Some nice rifts. You have videos of you playing as well?
Thanks so much, I appreciate that. I have the BandrewPlays channel but that’s all pretty old stuff.

You should pay more attention when you edit. There is a distortion when you're four feet away from the Razer Seiren V3 Mini.
In case someone takes that seriously, it was a joke.

Thanks for doing what you are I personally have learnt alot from you regarding microphones and it helped me decide which ones I should buy, it would be really helpful if you could help us newbies add filters to our budget mics in OBS.
My iPad reacted oddly, giving distortion. Unusual. Thanks for the video.
What microphone arm r you using ?
how did you manage to make it so loud at only 27% gian level?
Macbook
hey, i am kinda confused between the logitech yeti orb and siren v3 mini. can someone tell me which one is better?
I'll type before the review ends. Is it just me, or does the original Seiren Mini sound by far the best of them all (except the Neumann of course).
That uwu intro will stick with Bandrew forever.
Did you find any benefit to the settings available in Synapse for the V3? I'm wondering if they have a gate option in there like you can do with the Blue Voice settings.
Can you review the Rode XDM100 please i just bought it but theres no reviews from you! I would love to know your thoughts
Uhm…does it vibrate?
Will you review the regular V3 chroma? Would love to know if the 150$ range is competitive
Sorry to have this question (maybe a bit too nooby), but the record settings are set in some specific software or did you use the Synapse razer software? I'm new in this world and I do want a good sound like the one you showed in the video. Mostly for calls in Discord, Teams, Zoom, etc.
Dang, the music was fire 🔥
If you were to choose between this and Airpods 3 for Zoom calls microphone, which would you choose?
so if this is the first time I get a microphone, this Razer Seiren V3 Mini still a great start?
Price aside, how do you compare this to the Yeti GX?
amazing review, thanks for all the info
Damn, you're a guitar guy too? That's cool, i really like that since i too would like to know how the mic sounds next to an amp
adorable suppository mic
what about voicemeeter to process the audio ?
What comes in the box? Pink cuty😊
Oh the comments I won't leave, about the little pink bean shaped mic.
First time watching one of your vids. Was not expecting the musical interlude! 😂
Does the new Razer V3 Mini has more gain than the Hyperx Solocast? does it sound louder at the same volume level? im interested especially at 2 to 3 feet
Excellent Review bro ! Thanks !
What do you think would be the best Mic for under like $60-$70. My use case is TH-cam recording and voice overs. I would really appreciate any recommendations you have.
Epic gamer Bandrew. \m/
g4m3r 4 lyf3!
Im not looking for mics, I just watch these because I love you.
It was kinda nice on electric guitar?
If i want to start with TH-cam without breaking the bank do you rhink the smeen mini v3 will be okay?
Would this be a decent upgrade over my old Newer NW7000 ?
"Uwu" almost made me choke on a jellybean which ironically looks very similar to this microphone.
Should I get the razer v3 mini or the fduce slr 40 for youtube and tiktok?
I say v3 Mimi been using it for a few months and it’s absolutely amazing
Please Can you just suggest me which one would be your pick for music at under $50?

Of course not. I haven't sold a single thing I've reviewed. It all stays here to be referenced for future comparisons.

Please review the Fifine AM8 or Tank 3
better then hyperx solocast? i cant find any review razer v3 mini vs solocast hyperx
This video has a direct comparison between the two so you can determine which you like the sound of.
@@Podcastagewhich one do you prefer?
Is this good for zoom calls?
I like the original grille, this new one just looks bad to me and seemingly is less effective at plosive rejection too.
Music test very reminiscent of Witch Hunter Robin theme.
It's bright but in a very smooth way.
No pcb inspection?
and capsule
3 versions and *still* no headphone jack?
This is only the second version that I'm aware of. I don't know why it's V3 though. haha.
@@Podcastage They released the V2 X microphone and not a V2 Mini.
Razer Seiren V3 Mini or hyper x solocast?
bought solocast today, i think ill change it to razer, but idk yet
@@filipp.23 thx. let me know
@@filipp.23 why you wanted to change it?
The Pink one is a great choice lol, u should review fifine am8
