I think RE27 has a more pronounced low-end response, which can give vocals a more authoritative sound. This is something that MKBHD's voice benefits from, as he has a deep, resonant voice.
RE27 has much more clarity and doesn't sound as muffled, makes me wonder what the others would sound like with it too edit: just unpaused and heard andrew with it lol
The RE27 has a more pushed top end and the neodymium magnet in the capsule makes it a good bit more sensitive than the shure. (It’s also twice the price) The sm7 is a flatter/more neutral response which will out of the box suit a wider range voices with a little EQ. The more sculpted RE27 when it pairs with the right voice will sound amazing from the get go. Marques and the RE27 work together perfectly but I’m pretty sure a good mic pre and EQ could get similar results from the Sm7.
The RE27 has noticeably more upper-highs, sometimes called “air”. Typically the 8k+ Hz. The Shure definitely has a taper on the high end. Personally, I prefer the RE 27.
I want more AUDIO MAN EXPLAINS! I'm into exactly that type of audio stuff and that quick mic test was really cool to hear, definately a good call sticking with your classic silver mic
About the CMF smart watch, there is a huge market for fitness bands posing as smartwatches in that price range in India, like a lot. So they are strategically targeting Asian market to establish CMF.
the section on CMF kinda makes me think about how cool it would be if you guys did a series comparing the “cheap” versions of things (like budget wireless earbuds) and their much more premium options
24:30 In my opinion Nothing is just capitalizing on the "smartwatch" boom in India (although they are all just glorified smartbands) by making a watch which looks very similar to many that are in the $15 to $40 range. Also the fact that the leak had the indian price means that it probably won't even launch in the US and the only reason it is even making such buzz is because their association with Nothing. Just take a look at the recent smartwatch selling figures in India and it'll explain the whole situation
"Audio man explains" sounds like a brilliant section. Either a section of the podcast, or a series on The Studio channel. I wanna know why those mics sound so different! And the RE27 for Marques should stay.
4500 rupees for a smartwatch is quite normal here in India. We have great options from FireBoltt, Boult, Noise and few other brands in 2000-6000 rupees range. however, bear in mind, these ones are not wearOS compatible. Just few workout modes and calculator built-in. that's it.
Andrew’s assumption about Wifi calling not working because it’s not whitelisted is probably true. I can tell you from experience you should always check with your carrier if the device will work. Most of the time international models won’t work because of the difference in cellular frequencies other countries use versus us. Also be very careful with AT&T cause I’ve heard of reports of people having their accounts closed for using devices not whitelisted. Just saying! Great episode!
I was happily enjoying this podcast until @ 9:19 I noticed a line on my tab S9 Ultra only to realise that the camera pointing at the producer has got some issue 😂. Thanks for freaking me out for a moment @team MKBHD

I have an Honor Band 5 that cost me around $25, and I have been using it for over 2.5 year now. Clearly, it's fitness band rather than a watch, but it's more than enough for my use-case, which is step counting, occasional heart rate & SpO2 monitoring, notifications from phone and alarm/timers etc. I will definitely consider the CMF watch if it comes around that price ($55). Something like Apple Watch Ultra or Garmin Forerunner are in a whole different league. But from my perspective, for most regular people, excluding reasons of vanity, a fitness band is sufficient.
Yes But CMF's watch is nothing but a Fitness band in the shape of a smartwatch. A Smartwatch needs to be able to run apps other than the pre loaded ones, there should be a store where you can download the apps etc. Watch 4 in India costs 100$, easily defeats all Smartwatches in the segment. This being released around 55$ doesn't sit well with me.
I'm partial to the SM7B as that's my mic. Of course, you can EQ any mic to give it the tone and timbre you're looking for. Though if I had more money, I'd probably use the RE20. It has a much more natural frequency response than the RE27, which tends to color the higher frequencies a bit. They are all fantastic dynamic mics though, and I'd use any one of them.
i definitely prefer Marquez on the RE27 mic, but somehow there was such a small difference for Andrew? and of course there was no difference for David, i mean none whatsoever
I think with CMF, Carl is doing a repeat of what Nord line did to OnePlus. They are cheap more accessible, sells more in countries like India which is one of the biggest market for Nothing. They do want to increase their market share in India so CMF does sounds like a good idea. And what better product then smartwatch to start with. India is the biggest market for smartwatches we have 30% market share of all sales of smartwatch. You think 4400 rupees is cheap? We have smartwatches starting from Rs.1000 which roughly translates to $12. And most smartwatches sold in India about 85-90% are in $12-$60 range. Actually they really are not smartwatch they don't have wearOS. And most of them are just a rebranded cheap Chinese made smartband which has form factor of smartwatch. So if CMF comes up with some cool design and some decent sensors/app/tracking, they can just fire up the market. And won't CMF will launch a phone? Is this even a question?... Absolutely Yes!!! That's what the main plan is(think Nord).
44:05 This was getting announced while a lot of games journalists were at Gamescom and all they were talking about was if they had this with them at Gamescom, they couldn’t play using their hotel WiFi 😅
is it just me or on the adam ellis cam there is a line in the video just about where Adam's face is, top to botom? it does not happen on the other angles and it is way more visible on 4k. so it is very strange
I think Marques sounds a bit better with the new SM7B but the current mic is clearer and unique. But then, it is probably because I have gotten used to the sound of the current mic.
Honestly, if they had changed the mic without telling anyone, I don't think I would have noticed. I sure wouldn't have felt that something was "bad" with the sound.
@@supertrexandroidx Exactly, but if you are someone who pays attention to sound quality, you will notice the change in Marques's voice with the new mic.

Amazfit 5 owner right here. Its been pretty solid for my needs. Its unobtrusive, water proof, tracks my steps and workouts, provides minimalistic notification info and the battery last for ages. For comparison, a girl I was talking to for a little bit saw it and felt like it was below me, she decided to buy me a Skagen watch for $200, which has proven to be a paper weight. The Skagen needs to be charged 3 times a day and repeats notification. It sits in a drawer now, while my lil Amazfit for $20 is worn daily. Why buy another thing to be charged daily? I'm from the days of the 3310.
On the smart watch bracket, if you go to markets from India and also somewhat in the Asia Martet, there are way cheap smart watch. Companies like Boat, Oppo, Vivo, Firebolt and few others aims to cater audience who can't really afford costly smart watch but they still do a good job so that anyone and everyone could start using the smart watch, good wireless earphones and sometimes they do tend to have similar design to costly watches. But for the price they sell, it is just amazing how they work.
With Watch 4 coming in below 9k, more people are able to get true smartwatch, though many who are buying smartwatches in 4-5k segment are just going for the looks.
48:08 got scared that my monitor had some line over screen, but seems its only camera that's pointed to Adam and Ellis. You can see it next to Adams laptop's "N" letter.
I think David was on point with what Nothing is trying to do with CMF. I think Carl realizes the potential of markets like India and is thinking of the leveraging the consumers in this market. The Indian market is full of chinese white-labeled smartwatches from 20-50USD. There are other categories like Earphones, etc. which are also just white-labeled stuff. In a price sensitive market like India people will buy these things just for the novelty of it. There are plenty of brands making big money by doing this. From what I feel Carl is trying to do with CMF is that he will make a better 'skinned' version of the more generic stuff and charge a bit of premium over them. This way he can differentiate from the rest of the market, which mostly consists of brands who rely of celebrity advertising. He can stand out in the pool of generic stuff with his brand which has a 'story'.
I think CMF could be the perfect recession brand. A budget ecosystem is the most interesting thing I've heard of in awhile. Buds like soundcore, watch like amazfit, and a pixel 4a type phone. All in matching burnt orange/red!! Yes please.
There's a weird line in one of the shots specifically in adam & ellis'. I noticed it when I was watching on TV. It's vertical and it goes right on Adam's face and on his laptop also it's not on any other shots. 41:02 zoom in on Adam's laptop...
I work in a T-Mobile store and from what I’ve noticed over the years with android phones if they are unlocked and not a carrier specific sold phone by T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling does not seem to work
They got new mics and still make Adam and Ellis share
I like it, I feel like it adds to the podcast when they talk
@@TomiNomy the should wouldn’t be nearly as funny without them
Wouldn't be nearly as funny if they had separate mics
they literally even have a spare one because Marques isn't using his xD
For some reason I love to see them stretch to the front of the mic lmao 😂😂
You should definitely stick with the RE27😁
Facts 👌🏻
Agreed, so much more personality vibes through on re27
100%
I think RE27 has a more pronounced low-end response, which can give vocals a more authoritative sound. This is something that MKBHD's voice benefits from, as he has a deep, resonant voice.
Agree man sounds allot better
MKBHD should stick to the RE27 microphone
Yeah, he sounds so muffled on the Shure. But could probably be fixed with a bit of EQ'ing adding some more highs.
for real, it sounds way clearer and just overfall better on the RE27
Not even an audio nerd but DEFINITELY want a section about the audio man explains. Perhaps even a whole episode! I would watch it straight up.
Absolutely NEED THIS!!
Having the pleasure to watch this while sitting in my music studio... let me just say that RE27 sounds beautiful
As an audio fan I love the mic talk at the start. More audio talk!
I'm not a podcast guy but this one feels like hanging out with friends for an hour. Keep the format guys
Marques' reaction to the other company that split from the first trivia answer is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while 😂
Y'all should be on the RE27! Too bad it doesn't look as good as the new ones, those are FIRE!
I think the RE27 looks better than the SM7B mics. It has more of a retro feel to it.
Definitely keep your mic Marques. What a difference it truly makes😮
RE27 has much more clarity and doesn't sound as muffled, makes me wonder what the others would sound like with it too

Keep using the RE27; it sounds better. I would be interested to hear from Ellis about the differences in the audio between the microphones, though.

Marques, you definitely sound better on the re27 microphone for sure
Did they ever make an audio explainer between RE27 vs. SM7B?
100$ is pretty pricey in other markets other than US and UK
The gain on the SM7b sounds quieter. its hard to tell until the volume match a bit I think.
Wait... Did they use the footage appeared in the intro? Or did I miss it?
watching all the episodes from latest to oldest i cant believe they ever had any other mics before the wvfrm ones, insane.
it's so weird how everyone else sounds exactly the same on the other mic but marques sounds totally different on it

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this podcast. I’ve been bingeing it for a couple weeks now. I started watching marquise in high school
I love how dramatic Ellis models the headphones 😂
When you do setup on the Pixel Watch it refers to it as the crown. It asks you to select the orientation (left side/right side) of the crown.
I think the SM7B sounds more compressed than the RE27, even though it doesn't seem to have that much low end. I prefer the SM7b
The crown on the side of the pixel watch is called a "Haptic crown" according to the interaction tech specs for the Pixel Watch

The Indian market is full of chinese white-labeled smartwatches from 20-50USD. There are other categories like Earphones, etc. which are also just white-labeled stuff.
In a price sensitive market like India people will buy these things just for the novelty of it. There are plenty of brands making big money by doing this.
From what I feel Carl is trying to do with CMF is that he will make a better 'skinned' version of the more generic stuff and charge a bit of premium over them.
This way he can differentiate from the rest of the market, which mostly consists of brands who rely of celebrity advertising.
He can stand out in the pool of generic stuff with his brand which has a 'story'.
