What mic do you want re-reviewed next? The consensus seems like AT2020? Comment down below the mic you want re-reviewed, or if you see the mic already listed, give that comment a thumbs up.
Rode NT1A or NT1. I think your style of reviewing has evolved a lot, they are popular mics, and I wonder if your thoughts on them have changed since their first review.
I'm so glad you're doing re-reviews!!! I've been thinking that it would be much better to do older reviews especially since your voice has changed so much. (half way to microphone closet review)
A history of Blue balls 🤣 Great stuff, I had no idea they went that far back. Also I love that you include the U87 in everything now, puts things in perspective.
Your mic sound is 10% mic itself, 10% your voice and equipment, and 80% room treatment. Not a surprise since he has top of the line interfaces/preamps and has a really well treated room. His voice is also really smooth and soothing.
@Killingdance Not a room treatment expert, but it doesn't take one to know that room treatment is EVERYTHING when it comes to mic sound. Good room treatment can make a $20 mic sound like a thousand bucks but bad room treatment takes any good mic and just butchers it. Accoustic foaming on the walls where your voice projects as well as where the echo sounds is more than enough.
Congrats on all the subs, and dude.. MXL990 goes under the radar so much!! I love the clarity of it and I just EQ out the noise, get a great signal to noise ratio, and it's great for even classical music recording. I'd love to see it compared to the TLM 103
I'd like to see the NT1 get an updated review. It's become something of a benchmark, showing up in a lot of review comparisons in the past few years. When it first came out, its price range wasn't nearly as crowded as it is now. It'd be nice to have a one-stop comparison shop for the ~$200-$400 space.
Love this re-review idea, amazing execution (and coming right off the Icon Pro video the sound quality difference between the Icon Pro and the Snowball was really jarring).
Many congratulations for the 250k brother, u r doing an amazing job for us audio enthusiasts and i pray that you scale many more new heights in the days to come! i also would like to thank you for starting the re review series, and i have an entire long list of mics that i want to be re reviewed with the current review procedures and tests, coming to the snowball, i think i agree with you there that its started to show its age, but again, its still the first mic for many people and i think it does ok, but again, the xlr route has so many good options that this one just does not stand, its definitely nasally, and unpleasant, but again, its old, when coming to the comparisons, i think the NT USB Mini and Razer Seiren Mini are great ones, the yeti nano, no, not for me, but i am really intrigued by the seiren mini, i think i will get it just for testing it out and who knows it can be used on one of my podcasts for people to listen to it, but yeah again, fantastic video, you always do a great job with them! the mics that i ant to be re reviewed are Shure sm7b, rode procaster, rode nt1, RE20 and many more, i think if we talk about budget options, behringer XM8500 and Behringer C1 need to be there too, so should the samson C01, C01U Pro and C03U Pro too, as i said its a long list, but i m "Shure" u will cover most of them. Thankyou once again, many congratulations and u are awesome, God Bless You always, Much Love!
The comparisons to their predecessors was excellent to include! I like the comparisons cuz I could hear the difference between them and make an informed choice
man i love those old ball microphones, i have never seen them or even heard of them before that is super cool. i actually really like the sound of the kick ball
Congrats on 250k! Not a surprise to me at all! Well, thanks for reviewing the one mic that makes me think "well, maybe those Neewer mics aren't so bad after all..." :)
YES to the re-review format. When I bought my AT-2035, I was wondering if there was a better choice at a similar prince point. The old reviews are great, but as you point out, times change and there are a lot of good choices out there at every price point. Updated reviews are not redundant, they are relevant!
Are you ever doing a rode nt-USB re-review? Many people really put it as the best USB mic, and we don't have any professional review at the time. The one you did in 2016 wasn't as complete as the great reviews you deliver nowadays! Keep up the great work man, grats on 250k!
I had no idea there were so many versions of the Blue Snowball 😲 I would never consider this, but I watch nearly all your reviews regardless 🤣 Congratulations (belated, I know) on the 250k (Now 260k!!)
Hey Bandrew! Great video. I've seen a million channels still using the snow ball and I'm excited to see people get away from it. I love the new show - I think it's awesome to see how old gear holds up today with all the new options out. I'd love to see a re-review of the MXL 990. I still use and love that mic, and I'd love to see your 2021 thoughts.
Thank you for making this video, I was struggling if Blue Snowball was worth it or not compared to Razer Seiren or HyperX Solo cast and this video made me decide what I should go for.
I like the idea of this series. There are some true classics out there, and it's probably good to show them in comparison to some of the newer microphones on the market to see how they hold up. It's interesting to see how much the later versions of the Snowball have changed, I remember using an old one checked out from the library back in undergrad. I would have loved to see this one compared to the Mackie EM-USB. I know it was $150 back when you reviewed it the first time, but the price has dropped to about $80 on Amazon and I'm kind of wondering how it stacks up as a value proposition in the
I'm greatly looking forward to this new RE-Review series. Not to take away from the old reviews but... Yeah I'm stoked. The V7 gets my vote for next re-review
The progress through the Blue "balls" was pretty interesting - hell I didn't even know they had a kick-drum microphone. That being said, I was interested in seeing more comparison against other microphones in the same price category, but the comparison to the Seiren was a nice touch.
Daaamn! Apart from Blue Kickball and Neumann I could hear noise. You've ruined Sir. You've ruined me!! Oh, and congrats on the subs! I hope it reaches a million soon! 🖖
It was also a nice throw. Made it right out into the hall. I’m proud of my improved box throwing capabilities. Years of practice is finally starting to pay off. I’m going pro!
@@Podcastage So you're going to join the USPMBTTTHL (United States Professional Microphone Box Thrown to the Hall League) rather than stay as an amateur? SELL OUT!
I really liked having the LMT500 opened up to see the circuitry.If you're comfortable doing that i'd love to see inside more mics.I tried to open my RØDE podmic and I super fucked up the set screw lmao
Thanks for your great videos! So useful. I think you haven’t compared mics for mojo (mobile journalism) or VO emergencies like shure mv88 or rode video mic me-l. I’d would be great.
You should re-review one of those Neewer microphones. They are cheaper than ever and are still everyones first pick when it comes to "entry level" audio. Congratz on the 250k pal.
At first I thought the new Snowball didn't sound so good - until the comparisons, when it got 100% better. Neumann excluded, the 8 ball was the other Blue mic that seemed to be close/good (in relative terms). The NT-1 wasn't so bad either.
What mic do you want re-reviewed next? The consensus seems like AT2020? Comment down below the mic you want re-reviewed, or if you see the mic already listed, give that comment a thumbs up.
Would like the RE-16 to get comparisons.
Rode NT1A or NT1. I think your style of reviewing has evolved a lot, they are popular mics, and I wonder if your thoughts on them have changed since their first review.
At2020 for sure
Mxl 990 would be great!
Probably AT2020, NT1, NT-USBand SM7B and also compare all of these to each other.
Congrats on 250k!
Thanks Mike! Really appreciate that!
250k! Congrats B'drew! You earned that satisfied look after that box throw.
Batman and Superman have shaken hands on a job well-done.
AYO
Super excited about re-review, really pushes the new versions to be the best resource for deciding on the mic.
I'm so glad you're doing re-reviews!!! I've been thinking that it would be much better to do older reviews especially since your voice has changed so much.
(half way to microphone closet review)
A history of Blue balls 🤣 Great stuff, I had no idea they went that far back. Also I love that you include the U87 in everything now, puts things in perspective.
I came down here to make a joke about Blue balls. I knew someone would have saved me the time.
I swear he can make any microphone sound like it's worth a thousand dollars
Right? It still sounds gross, but he salvaged it.
He does have a treated room, so there's that
Your mic sound is 10% mic itself, 10% your voice and equipment, and 80% room treatment. Not a surprise since he has top of the line interfaces/preamps and has a really well treated room. His voice is also really smooth and soothing.

It's his post processing. I don't know what kind of post processing "No" is, but it's amazing.
Congrats on all the subs, and dude.. MXL990 goes under the radar so much!! I love the clarity of it and I just EQ out the noise, get a great signal to noise ratio, and it's great for even classical music recording. I'd love to see it compared to the TLM 103
Congrats on 250k!
Really appreciate this re-review format.
i really enjoyed this re-review, i would recommend you re-review the lower-priced mics for like 6 years sgo like sf 920, nw-1500, stuff like that :)
I'd like to see the NT1 get an updated review. It's become something of a benchmark, showing up in a lot of review comparisons in the past few years. When it first came out, its price range wasn't nearly as crowded as it is now. It'd be nice to have a one-stop comparison shop for the ~$200-$400 space.
Today I learned that there were ball mics outside of the Snowball. Crazy.
Congrats on 250k!!!
I'm glad you're re-reviewing a lot of these mics, cuz ur room treatment is way different now
Love this re-review idea, amazing execution (and coming right off the Icon Pro video the sound quality difference between the Icon Pro and the Snowball was really jarring).

Loved it. I too, have the whole early ball series of mics. thanks for showcasing them.
Best review there I’m getting this today thanks for showing us ligit everything we need to know about this mic
Exactly the video I've been looking for! Thank you so much!
The comparisons to their predecessors was excellent to include! I like the comparisons cuz I could hear the difference between them and make an informed choice
Hand holding a U87? That's a power move all right.

man i love those old ball microphones, i have never seen them or even heard of them before that is super cool. i actually really like the sound of the kick ball
Congrats on 250k! Not a surprise to me at all! Well, thanks for reviewing the one mic that makes me think "well, maybe those Neewer mics aren't so bad after all..." :)
A quarter-million subs. Respect.
I like the last mic in the comparison best.
Will we see the RE-20 in the re-review?
I'll admit, this is a microphone I considered picking it up at one point: thanks for the brutal honesty, and for the alternate recommendations!
YES to the re-review format. When I bought my AT-2035, I was wondering if there was a better choice at a similar prince point.

Thank you.
I LOVE THIS RE-REVIEW IDEA! :)
Congrats on 250k subs! I would love to see you have another go at reviewing the TLM 103.
Please make the next one be the MXL 770 and 990. Congrats for the 250 k Bandrew!

Thank you so much for revisiting old reviews! I can't wait to see you come back to the Samson C01U!
I actually found your channel and subscribed through this past review :)

surprised that you didn't include a comparison to the Yeti or XM8500; great video nonetheless and i look forward to more re-reviews!

I bought the NT-USB mini based off your review. I've been loving it and I sound so much better now.
I purchased this thing a while back. I forgot what the 1-2-3 switch was for in the back. Thank you very much.
Great idea for a series! I was hoping you would do some retakes on your older videos.
Congratulations for 250K subs. All the best for 1M
Hi Bandrew. Well done on the quarter million subs, mate. You deserve it. Steve.

Good idea 💡
Please go ahead with these refreshers!
Thank you very much Rainer. I look forward to doing more of these over the years.
goddamn, i didn't actually know that the Snowball had predecessors. that was super interesting! definitely hope that'll make a return in more videos
I'm greatly looking forward to this new RE-Review series.

Great video and comparison of the blue snowballs
dude when you started singing my mind was blown you just gained a sub for that and im not even sure what im subbing to
He‘s One of the Best Audio technic Channels 🤩, Cause of him i good xlr Setup 🙏🏻
Very interesting video! Thanks for the comparing
Complete test, thank you buddy
Great video and series idea, I'd love to see the 2020+usb re-reviewed (mostly because it's what I have, and I'm curious what the self noise is)
i still use my chrome blue snowball from 2011/2012 and its never failed me, and audio has been perfectly acceptable for me.
congrats dude! 250k deserved! :D
Great! do AT 2020 xlr and usb again! Congrats on 250 K!
Fantastic review! Thank you!
Loving the re-reviews! Please touch base on the dynamic sennheisers if you get the chance 😄
Great Review, well done.
Congrats on the 250K, Bandrew!
NOW FOR A BOX RETHROWING
So helpful! Thanks!
Thank you for this post. Most informative :)
maybe take another look at the rode nt usb...would love to hear your thought on how well it stacks up in 2021.
congrats on 250k subs
I can't believe only 250K people know about this gem in the rough. Here's to 2.5 Million!
you should do the xm8500 next! great video btw and congrats on 250k!
How ya doin, man? 😂
Congrats on the 250k subs. You've been instrumental in my last two mic purchases, so thank you!
I am actually considering to buy this one... hahaha love this! first time vlogger here :)
Been using this mic for years finally just upgraded to an XLR set up!
Congratulations for the 250k! You deserve it. Excellent video!
Would you mind review the Hyperx solocast? I think is interesting for the price. 😅
Congrats on 250k mate
I wish my bluesnowball mic had these features. I have no cardioid mode so it picks up audio terribly! Great video
Great series will be looking forward to more of these. Also, been wondering if you had plans to review the Audio Technica Pro 41.
I found one of these 2 years ago for $5 at a flea market. Best find ever.
Thank you for your videos, very helpful
2:44 Had me cracking up. I didn't need this review, but I watch anyway for stuff like that haha.
I love your honesty
I dig the re-review idea, I'd love to see an updated review of the Q2U and maybe AT2020
It is now 2022 and I am still using the Snowball. I take online classes and the sound quality is perfect for my needs.
Great review
This is exactly what I need 😍
Great video! Thank you. 🖤🎧🖤
Great job Bandrew...huge subcribers
1,000,000 subs soon!!
Maybe in 10 years. I guess that in the grand scheme of things that is relatively “soon”,
Perfect microphone, if you want that genuine plastic party cup and fishline telephone sound.
Hey bandrew love the vids. Could you please review the maono au pm421 microphone? Btw congrats on 250k subs keep it up!
Great detailed video
I congratulated u yesterday!
Daaamn! Apart from Blue Kickball and Neumann I could hear noise. You've ruined Sir. You've ruined me!!
Oh, and congrats on the subs! I hope it reaches a million soon! 🖖
Congrats!
The satisfied face you made after throwing the box showed how much you think this mic is crap lol. It cracks me up.
It was also a nice throw. Made it right out into the hall. I’m proud of my improved box throwing capabilities. Years of practice is finally starting to pay off. I’m going pro!

Oh I plan on it. Got a new version of one already.

Great content!
The Seiren sounded amazing compared to the rest. Most sounded clipped in the treble like the SM7B.
Excellent!
God Bless you for the "Audio gets loud in 5..." alert 🤣
very nice review
Thanks very much, I appreciate the kind words.
Nice vid again! Hope u review the Boya M1000 soon. . . =)
