The m49 was my favorite. Decided to look up how much one costs. Not my favorite anymore.

Best sounding Neumann is the one you have
I bit the bullet and bought a tlm49 yesterday. I keep coming to this video to justify the price
What’s really amazing is the consistency across 70 years of manufacturing.
It seems that you just have to buy a Neumann and you're already on the good side.
She has amazing voice control, oh and mics sound good too.

The tone richness from the Vintage U47 on the female vocals made me cry.
A room packed with every single microphone from my wildest dreams 😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing test environment with two great singers. The best test I ever heard in the internet.
That TLM 49 sounds amazing.
I agree especialy for the guy
Wow! Not seeing my comments on 149! To me that sounded incredible, even better than the 87. Love how it didn't boom out the breaths.
They all have something to offer. I was most impressed with the TLM102 and the TLM67 and both U67s. On every comparison video that I have watched with the TLM67 in it, that was my preferred mic. The TLM102 is a lower cost Neumann, but it really has something great about it too.
What an amazing video, even though it's just a compressed audio transportition via youtube you can pick up on some tonal differences and it narrowed down my choice very easily in such little time. Having the exact same playing field (same setup other than the mic used) for so many classic choices was amazing, thanks a lot!
Great shootout. To me the vintage U47 and U67 sounded the best by quite a margin. The difference was actually a lot bigger than I expected.
Vintage U67 won my heart; loved the open airy high frequencies of the U87 also.
That's interesting because to my ear it was exactly the airy high end that I didn't like about the Vintage 67. :) I lean more to the 47s and 49s.
They all sounded rather similar. I noticed years ago, that in very dry acoustics, microphones tend to sound very similar.
This was one of the best microphone shootouts on the internet. The U67 was my favorite, on these two vocalists. I own a U48 and two vintage U87s, but this makes me want to purchase that vintage U67!
U87 and the U47 Fet sounded really warm on her voice!!
Vintage U47 has that built in eq for voice that just works. Its just clear and present without being too bright. I love the U87ai too, for it's real clarity and truer flatness.
I've never really thought about the M49 or the U47 fet before, but hearing them next to all of those mics was crazy. Liked them a lot. The u67 is still my favorite though. Nothing sounds hyped in the spectrum. Very clear and creamy.
I liked the TLM's brightness for the girl bringing out the detail in her warm voice, and the u47's for the male helping to smooth out his voice which was already bright.
I have owned and loved my TLM 103 since I purchased it in 2002. I always heard stories of the U87s and thought I needed to "Upgrade" one day... After listening I feel good about my choice. I would only purchase a U87 if I were to hit the lotto... I no longer feel like i'm missing out... The TLM 49 was my favorite. I heard a lot of room tone from the M149. Thank you!
Best overall: U47, followed by U67, 87i, TLM49, TLM 103, etc. Amazing the rel. cost/benefit of the 102.
Great video! vintage U67 for me. It was interesting to hear it against the tube U47 and M49
That tlm67 was very straight forward in its own weird way it had reallly good clarity to it most all of these mics asides from the Tlm seemed to be very warm the 67 has rich clarity
For me, it was the Vintage U47 on the female vocal and the U67's on the male vocal! Surprised by the u47 FET tho
из всех тестов которые я слышал Этот самый лучший на просторах ютуба
.Спасибо вам за проделанную работу наверное целый день это делали
Vintage U47 made me feel like they both were right here with me. First time I've heard that mic. Nothing added, nothing lost. That's a microphone. M149 seemed really good at capturing atmosphere to hear the room they were in, which could be a blessing...or a curse.
My favs... U87 of course, its natural but still has some punch. The tlm 102 has a nice vocal upper mid punch and definition. But damn the vintage u47... It's the most well rounded and smooth in the right ways to me. Really not a bad mic in the bunch with the right processing but those 3 are my favorite as is. The Vintage U67 is also very nice on the male voice especially.
the more pricy mic makes the more smooth, fascinating sound... I wish I could afford it.
Thank you guys!!! Very helpful shoot-out👍🏼
Great comparisons. Thank you.
I just ordered the 103 today. The excitement is coursing through my veins!
Been looking at that one too.
All are great mics, when I was at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, as a sound engineer, we uses a lot of U89s around the stage, plus a Calrec Sound field mic and a Sony ecm 979. The Neumanns were in a world of their own.
All sounds great and different. Loved tlm 103 and the U87
Fall in love with her ! Amazing voice
Wow, all these mics sound amazing! My favorites were probably the m49/149 and the TLM67. I usually prefer transformer coupled mics, but that one really stands out.
I think the TLM 49 sounded good in this instance because it's well suited with the API preamp.
Ive got an m149, have ordered a stereo pair of u87ai, and thinking of getting a u47fet. But that vintage u47, man! God damn, what a mic!
TLM 49 = my surprise favorite. Original u67 probably second.
Great comparison video. Thank you.
Great Mic shoot out been wanting to listen to theses specific mics for a while ended up getting the TLM 67 still happy with my purchase 😁
Phoenix MatadorTV mannnn I have not listened yet but I hope they put it the context of a mix fingers crosses
Thank you for sharing this, very useful.
the guy vocalist said "Hey Vsauce! Michael here."
vintage u47 and vintage u67 for me. (i wish) Great video!
U47FET sounds great on a female vocal. Also the U67 and the reissue
Vintage M49 sounds so sweet! The U87ai is next, especially on the male vocals. They sound really close to me. The rest are just ok. Thanks!
Neumann U67 according to my eardrums frequencies and vibration.
The sound treatment in the room sounds amazing that I can't really tell, Vintage M49 and U47 stand out to me though, more natural sounding.
Great vocalist. Very comfortable and interesting voice.
Vintage U47 is the best in this shootout in my opinion. It has unbeatable smoothness and ability to convert the source into the most truthful vintage tasting outcome.
TLM 49 was really nice on Male Vocals. The Vintage u67 was nice on the female vocals!
wow the 102 sounds really really great
That U67 is just beautiful
amazing Work
After using many different microphones along my 50-year musical Journey, I have the The Good Fortune to own a tlm-102, and u-87. I have tested the tlm-103 and I like it better than the 102. But the u-87 is just incredible for me and my voice. I can't speak too highly of the microphone and it's worth every penny, but it definitely needs a worthy preamp to realize it's remarkable depth and clarity with no harshness in the top end.
What a voices!!!!! Great!
As you can see in the comments its all about taste , every Mic in this lineup is good and pleasing to the female vocal
VINTAGE U47 IS AMAZING MAN! WOW U67 AS WELL AND HONESTLY IM GRABBING A TLM102 SOON JGST BECAUSE
I guess you can't go wrong with any of these mics. My favorite was the 67 87 47
vintage U47 is just THEEE Killer!!!
I'm picking the 102 thanks for the video
Male - TLM 103 - sounds amazing. Also Vintage U47 and Vintage U67 not bad.
Famale - TLM 49 amazing and M 149 also great.
Thanks for the tests ! love the M149 ad the U47's ...
on male voice I only liked U47 followed by m149. All others have to much upper mid range that make his voice more nasal. on this particular female voice more mics work well, I liked the M49 for very thick and vintage vibe sound and the U47 for good character, but nothing annoying in it. TLM 67 surprised. A bit "disappointed" by U67. But it also depends on context/song.
I owned or used most of them, compared to the Telefunken USA C12, U47 and Elam 251E I always preferred the TELE USA mics. Since the U67 reissue came out, I considered buying it, but now I know, I won´t.
Fantastic shootout!
Love her voice 🥰
i am really hunting for one of this neumann. they sound so pleasing in the ears no hash hash
increible, increible el rendimiento que ofrece el tlm 102
Very impressed with the female singer, the way she says "hell" at the end of every shootout kills me. Also, am I crazy or did that TLM 102 sound way better than expected? I think I honestly preferred it to some of its more expensive counterparts. Loved the TLM67 and both the U67's as well. The U47 seems to have another dimension to its sound. Great video!
Thank you for this interesting comparison. Neumann Microphones tend to sound nasty in the midrange on loud voices. With these soft voices most microphones sounds good. For the hole picture a powerful part would be helpful! That's the weakness of modern Neumann microphones.
The vintage U67 is my favorite followed closely by the vintage M49. The new ones all sound amazingly good, but all have a slight "bite" to them. Whereas the vintage U67 and M49 sound realistically transparent.
Impresionante, y grandes voces, gracias!
nice test, thanks
Kind of wild that I like... barely heard a difference whatsoever on the female vocal. Some maybe ever so slightly darker than others for their voice, but I had to make sure I wasn't actually just TRYING to listen for it. Male vocal was a little bit more obvious. Mostly I think it might boil down to the super high range clarity, and bleed characteristic. Some are definitely better for the modern super-breathiness desired on pop vocals, and maybe some are better for the smoother, warmer sounds of past. But, as someone much younger and really just trying to dive into the nuances of gear way before my time, this has been extremely eye opening.
Vintage U47 Is so good followed by U87 Ai, I am also impressed by TLM 49 they all sounded so rich and full, TLM 102 is a pleasant entry level surprise, lacks the fullness slightly, but in the low and mids its there with the masters. TLM 103 was also smooth but the presence boost is a tiny bit unnecessary.
The U47 fet has such a wonderful open and detailed top end which works well on both voices. Great presence and body. Truthfully, I wouldn't kick any of these mics out of my studio. Did/does Neumann make any 'bad' mics?
U67 reissue and M49V!!!!
M149 is extraordinary
TLM 102, 49 or Vintage U47. They sound very easy to mix in a dense pop track.
The problem with doing such a test, is that it doesnt really show which mike turnes out great in a mix. All sounding great at this stage, but it will change in mix.
Helpful. Thanks
Love my TLM49
I feel the two most similar on her voice are the TLM 102 and the vintage u67
Where it's possible to hear more about this female singer? Her voice are amazing!
oliviamillerschin.com/
What song is she singing?
they're all great microphones but the vintage u47 sounded the best and most familiar to me
I think the M 49 was my favorite
That vintage M49 definitely needs servicing. It sounds muddy and dull compared to the others. IMHO, nothing beats the presence and intimacy of the vintage U47 in the female vocals. It would be interesting to know if it had an original VF14 tube or a modern replacement installed. But the best all-rounder for me was the U67 re-issue. A jack of all trades of sorts. Finally, the best bang for the buck, the TLM103.
If someones looking for the song of the girl, its "North - Olivia Millerschin" it's one of the singer's songs.
M49 hands down IMO beautiful mic
an amateur here looking for an advice - what should be listening for in this comparison? I heard (probably) some small differences in high frequencies, was that correct? What else is there? Thank you so much for a great video and hopefully even some advice!
defenitly the M49 Sound really good , a little bit of distortion but i like it
the 102 is very impressive in this particular shootout. very forward with full low mids. and I own the tlm67, u67 , fet47 and u47........ (also had the tlm103 many years ago but sold it) guess maybe its time to buy some 102's
Cant tell the difference but all of them sound amazing. Howard Stern brought me to these mics
Definitely u87 sounds different, so accurate.
TLM102 is the best 👍 💫 I will buy it
Thanks for sharing 😊
the U87 is so fire
overall best for sounding new and good and vintage sound i think - i would get the vintage u67
For the money, you really can't go wrong with the TLM 102. The TLM 103 simply states, "Hello! I'm Here!" The M 149 has some weird high frequency issues, listen in at 2:27 when she sings, If it's for good, I'm hearing some sort of whistle. The TLM 67 has a really nice bold presence. The vintage U47 has nice rich harmonics. The U67 Reissue, I'm hearing some fuzzy static on the female vocal. I think the M 149 gives the vocals a little bit of character, sounds a little more lively. The U87 simply has great tonal quality, punch and presence. The U67 sounds a little thin to my ears. Great video, thanks guys!
