Hello, Should i get mm1 or mm1+ bro. I want to record videos on TH-cam and also for streaming for Gaming through Pc (Laptop) What mic would you Recommend For the best audio Quality? Thanks in advance.
@@markfriday I just started my youtube channel and I post mostly covers. I was actually planning to buy the by-mm1 but I saw that this is available already.
Both the BY-MM1 and the BY-MM1+ are great options, you will not go wrong with either one! I checked out your videos and noticed you do song covers, right? You might want to watch this video, this can give you better sound quality in terms of music recording: th-cam.com/video/QhFEigNaWng/w-d-xo.html Please do consider subscribing as well! Thanks, Ritz!
Hi, Rhay! Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate it! As for the audio processing, I just add a simple EQ in post and make sure my lowest sound is at around -12 and loudest at -6! What are your needs in terms of audio? Do you record it with video? Or just plain audio?
Hi again, Zugzwang! Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! I saw that you play PubG! Are you planning to use this with your gaming rig?
@@markfriday I'll be hooking it up to my canon7d on a tophandle with a monitor, will be using it for product shoots, short ads and some filmmaking, were you able to make the audio pass through work with a dslr?
Oh, great! I use the MM1+ with my GH5 with a some sort of similar setup to yours, I can't use the old MM1 on it because it's too hot (loud). What do you mean by pass through?
Oh, sorry, it doesn't work for DSLRs, the headphone input just works with smartphones, they saved this feature for their more expensive shotgun and wireless microphones.
Hi Mark! As always, great video. I'm wondering if I can still use the Boya mic while earphones with a built in mic is plugged in? What mic will capture the audio, is it the boya mic or the built in one?
The headphones out jack is most likely just a passtrough from the TRRS, so audio coming out of the same device (phone for example) into which the microphone is plugged into, so the audio is not a direct monitoring port.
Not sure if this was answered but I believe why you can't monitor from a DSLR is because the microphone input on a camera doesn't output. On your phone it is a combo jack so it has input and output
Liked the review. I think you should add a comparison of the shock mount. Is any of this footage with the gh5 + by-mm1+? Someone commented that their by-mm1+ couldn't run of phantom v48...
Thanks for you input, Kyle! Already storyboarding for a video I will make either today or tomorrow for comparisons and FAQs. Anything else you would want to know about it or want to see in the next video?
Hi, i have realized that to do any good recording, it is essential to use an external mic. I am planning to record my school's video lesson on my smartphone. Do you think i should just get the Boya BY MM 1, or fork in some extra cash for this Boya BY MM 1plus? 😁
Hey, bro, you will need a 3.5mm to XLR converter, I own one, I didn't buy it but it was included in a kit I bought from Boya a year ago, but I'm pretty sure you can purchase it from your local music/tech store.
Nice content there Mark! Just curious is this readily being sold, cause as far as I could find it's not readily available in various places and the info about this mic is pretty limited
Thanks, Calvin! It should already be available. It's currently being sold in the chain tech stores here in Hong Kong and it's available on Amazon now as well. I think it's a matter of whether they know that this new microphone has come out or not, maybe because of the limitations of the pandemic as well?
Hey, JB, thanks for dropping by! Yes, it's really not that much worth of an upgrade, specially if you're a Canon user then you're gonna want the MM1 instead of the MM1+ for that louder gain!
@@markfriday for now, I just plug it in on my smartphone. My Canon 1200D doesn't support external mic input, that's why I can't use it on my camera. Canon G7X III is my target, just as I've seen from your review 🙂
Hey, Vedappu Cuts! Both MM1 and MM1+ are good for outdoor vlogging! Just make sure you put on the included deadcat! Please subscribe and be part of the community! Thanks, buddy!
I have used two microphones boya mm1 and boya mm1+ but boya mm1 doesn't make much noise but boya mm1+ makes a lot of noise and even the sound of the fan in the room comes down, why is this happening?
Nice video. But, I've connected the mm1+ to H5 (and later to Panasonic pro camera - ux90) via boya xlr pro adapter and the microphone does need power to work... not 48v phantom, but 3v attenuation (plugin) power. Also, I tried it 30cm away and I did need to raise a gain to get the audio to 24-12db range. Btw, you cannot monitor the audio as it is recorded onto the phone... only when the recording is played back. Maybe I need the right software, but i tried the phone's recorder and lexis audio editor. Didn't try it on the hybrid camera, like your gh panny or similar, though.
@@goto032492 I don't own gh5, but eng ux90 that has xlr inputs with switchable phantom power only. I didn't try direct phantom because I was afraid to damage the microphone but used xlr to 3.5 mm with plugin power adapter. On zoom H5 I used it in 3.5 input (on the xy mic module) with and without plugin/bias power. It worked only when the power was switched on.
Hi, Sbozinovic! Maybe it has something to do with the MM1+'s new jack format, the old MM1's camera cable was TRS to TRS but now on the MM1+, you can't use a TRS to TRS cable but the mic's end is TRRS and camera's is TRS.
@@markfriday I didn't own old mm1, so I don't know if it could work without plugin power. But every condenser microphone (including Rode videomicro) seems to need it at least for the pre amp. Personally, I've used condenser mics (lavaliers) with trrs jacks and adapters to trs and ts and they all needed some power... most of the time they had a battery compartment for a small lr44 or similar batt. So, I think that there is nothing to solve with mm1+, it is just that type of the microphone and trrs jack seems to show that it is primarily oriented to phone videographers/ vloggers market 😉.
If you plan on editing and shooting with your phone, I would definitely point you towards the MM1+ but if you just need better sound, the louder MM1 would be a good choice! Please do subscribe for more budget friendly gear related videos coming soon!
Hi there! You're in luck! Boya just sent me their latest wireless lavalier mic, which is way better than the WM8 Pro K1 and almost at the same price point I recon, I am still testing it at the moment so please subscribe and stay tuned! Will be releasing the video within the month!
My Boya (v1) mic is good when the camera is stationary, but it's not really good when vlogging and thus walking. Movement makes the mic create weird noises, maybe the mic's internal parts are moving also...
Hey there! It could be the vlogging rig that you are using with it. I have yet to have heard a problem about the internal parts moving and causing problems
@@markfriday hey Mark i have bought boya bymm1+, and i needed a extension aux cord(cable) so i bought it with same dual trrs jeck but it didn't work. can you please tell me a right aux cable for mm1+ like specific company or brand which is competible and working properly with mm1+

Hi, Kristina! Thank you for subscribing and welcome to this small community! Glad to have you here! I would definitely have you pick the Boya BY MM1+, it just sounds so crispy and premium compared to the MM1.
Hey, Darren! You got the MM1+ ? The headphone input is actually fairly useful specially when your workflow revolves around just using your smartphone but then again, it's not that "significant" to base your purchase or upgrade just off of this feature.
Hi, Chris, I tried the Movo VXR10 before but I didn't like the sound too much. For the GH5, I have been using the MM1+ a lot, it sounds very crispy and premium. So I definitely would recommend you to go for the MM1+.
Hello Mark. I just bought the MM1 but I have a problem. When i conect it to my Nikon D3200 it just doesnt work. I tried all the cable combinations but it does not get the audio signal to the camera. Do you know what might be the problem? Did a pick the wrong mic? The camera has a stansard 3.5mm conector. Im confused :( but i´d love to hear if maybe you hace any idea of what the problem might be. I have used cheaper cable mics with the camera and they work just fine. Thank you in advance if you happen to find the time to answer this. Nice review BTW
@@goto032492 the microphone I tested on my zoom H5, panasonic ag-ux90 and blackmagic pocket 4k.

I would like to hear if anyone else tested the microphone. Looking at the info from Rode site / blog it looks like a major number of cameras supply plugin power but I'd like to hear from those who own one that doesn't.

Hi, Sam, Boya just limited this feature to be used as monitoring playback audio on smartphones, they saved that good feature for monitoring audio on DSLR's on their more expensive microphones.
This may be a stupid question as this is my first microphone purchase. I just received mine and I'm a little confused by the black foam windscreen being inserted into the deadcat. Are they meant to be used one on top of the other like that and not separately?
Hi, Noah, did you get the Boya MM1 or MM1+? I don't think they come with a black foam windmuff but it you did get one then great! The furry windscreen is usually just used for outdoors and the black foam one is used for indoors for slight possible blows from ceiling fans etc. You don't need to use them both at the same time. By the way, please do consider subscribing, gonna be releasing more content like this in the coming days! Stay safe and take care!
Hi Mark, thanks for the reply, I have the MM1+ like in this video. So if you look closely at your deadcat, you’ll see that the black windmuff is actually stuffed inside it. I wouldn’t have noticed it except that I had read that it came with both so I was looking for it. Anyway, I pulled it out of the deadcat, which was pretty difficult, and now I have them separated. But the deadcat doesn’t really hold its form that well without the other black foam one stuffed inside it, it just seems too big for the microphone. So I’m just kinda confused if it’s even meant to be taken apart or not. Definitely seems like the black one can be used by itself, but it’s a pain to get it in and out of the deadcat. Would love to know what you think if you have a chance to inspect yours more closely. And thanks for the video, subscribed!
You can’t make it work on the M50, because it is essentially a headset adapter for smartphones. It needs a TRRS connection. It works like this: The line out of the Boya gets into the smartphone, the smartphone processes the sound and sends the output back through the cable into the headphone jack of the Boya. The M50 can’t do this.
hey mark I am only rajvardhan pise and this is my channel so I want mic for this channel so is it worth to upgrade to its predecesor or i should still search for BY-MM1+ plz tell me
Just go with the BY-MM1, bro, you'll have no regrets with it. I am making a new video tonight on different ways to use it so please subscribe and stay tuned!
Hi Mark. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for vlogging, can we send you one to you to play with?
from where did u get this i asked my local dealer he told this type doesnt exist i told him to enquirer do u have any type of link to share of a website from where i can buy love from india:)
Hey there, Rajvardhan! You can purchase it from Amazon! Here's the link! www.amazon.com/BOYA-Super-Cardioid-Microphone-Monitoring-Smartphones/dp/B0872P5CKF I have a feeling that because of the situation with the pandemic that some places haven't got a chance to update their items.
If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to just get the MM1 instead of the MM1+! There's not really much of a night and day difference between the two. By the way, planning to do another video on these microphones, please do consider subscribing! Stay safe and take care!
Hey, Tosho! It's the room noise, I wasn't in my normal filming environment. Thanks for pointing it out! Please subscribe and be part of the community! Take care!
Hey, Cesar, my main vlogging camera right now is my A6400 and the MM1 is too loud for it so I suggest getting the MM1+ instead. Please subscribe and be part of this community!
Hey, Tj! No it wasn't. I manually checked and set audio levels for both mics on my Canon M50. The MM1 was significantly louder than the MM1+. Hope this helps. Why do you ask?
@@markfriday when i tried it in manual mode on my camera I put it to the end third notche, the audio quality is low.... when i bumped it up, it produce a humming sounds....
90D is supposed to be a good camera, I owned the 60D and it was okay with the MM1. I wonder what's causing your problem. Are you using the MM1 or MM1+?
BTW people, louder microphones aren't better. Louder means lower impedance. Lower impedances means more interference noise when amplifying the input, because you amplify the interferences which induce easier in lower impedance wires. The Rhode is definitely a better microphone, if you were able to amplify it at the same volume as the Boya, you'd know immediately which is crispier and less noisy. This fact is also true for headphones and any analog sound circuitry.
@@hatemaqil7649 Don't worry, there's a reason why I said that if you already own the MM1, you don't really need to upgrade, I still love the MM1 because it is louder than the MM1+ so I can use it with my Canon M50 better but for the MM1+, I would probably recommend it to people who use Panasonic, Fuji and Maybe Nikon.

This may be a stupid question as this is my first microphone purchase. I just received mine and I'm a little confused by the black foam windscreen being inserted into the deadcat. Are they meant to be used one on top of the other like that and not separately?
Hi, Noah, did you get the Boya MM1 or MM1+? I don't think they come with a black foam windmuff but it you did get one then great! The furry windscreen is usually just used for outdoors and the black foam one is used for indoors for slight possible blows from ceiling fans etc. You don't need to use them both at the same time. By the way, please do consider subscribing, gonna be releasing more content like this in the coming days! Stay safe and take care!
Hi Mark, thanks for the reply, I have the MM1+ like in this video. So if you look closely at your deadcat, you’ll see that the black windmuff is actually stuffed inside it. I wouldn’t have noticed it except that I had read that it came with both so I was looking for it. Anyway, I pulled it out of the deadcat, which was pretty difficult, and now I have them separated. But the deadcat doesn’t really hold its form that well without the other black foam one stuffed inside it, it just seems too big for the microphone. So I’m just kinda confused if it’s even meant to be taken apart or not. Definitely seems like the black one can be used by itself, but it’s a pain to get it in and out of the deadcat. Would love to know what you think if you have a chance to inspect yours more closely.
And thanks for the video, subscribed!
new shock mount looks good
Yes! Love it so much! Thanks, Zakazany! Please subscribe! More Boya videos coming soon!
for record a live concert with the smartphone, which is better? mm1 or mm1+ or mm1 PRO ?
Hello, if I plug speakers into the mic headphone jack, will it pick up the sound from the speakers?
Hey there! Sorry, but it won't. By the way, please subscribe and be part of this community!
You can’t make it work on the M50, because it is essentially a headset adapter for smartphones. It needs a TRRS connection. It works like this: The line out of the Boya gets into the smartphone, the smartphone processes the sound and sends the output back through the cable into the headphone jack of the Boya. The M50 can’t do this.
hey mark I am only rajvardhan pise and this is my channel so I want mic for this channel so is it worth to upgrade to its predecesor or i should still search for BY-MM1+ plz tell me
Hey, Rajvardhan! What's up! Wait, do you already own the MM1 or are you still deciding which one to get?
@@markfriday yes still in a delima what should I buy is it worth to upgrade to its predecessor
What will you use to record with?
Just go with the BY-MM1, bro, you'll have no regrets with it. I am making a new video tonight on different ways to use it so please subscribe and stay tuned!
@@markfriday abosulutely everything vlogs with ur hack studio and roasts etc

Hey, Mahesh! Much love for India from Hong Kong! I would suggest you to go for the MM1+ for that audio monitoring/playback audio feature!
Can we use mm1+ with m50? Is it better for vlogging compared to the mm1? What is the difference? Please Reply!
Hi Mark. We have the new IDOLCAM VlogStar V2 shotgun/Lavalier microphone in one, small size, perfect for vlogging, can we send you one to you to play with?
Heyyy! Please email me at email.madv@gmail.com so I can take a look at what you got! Thanks!

hi! why there is loud humming noise in the video? is it from mic?
Hey, it wasn't from the mic, it was from the ventilation shaft at my office.
from where did u get this i asked my local dealer he told this type doesnt exist i told him to enquirer do u have any type of link to share of a website from where i can buy love from india:)
Hey there, Rajvardhan! You can purchase it from Amazon! Here's the link!
www.amazon.com/BOYA-Super-Cardioid-Microphone-Monitoring-Smartphones/dp/B0872P5CKF
I have a feeling that because of the situation with the pandemic that some places haven't got a chance to update their items.
@@markfriday thnx mark but it cant be shipped to INDIA but once again thnx for replying
If that's the case, it wouldn't hurt to just get the MM1 instead of the MM1+! There's not really much of a night and day difference between the two. By the way, planning to do another video on these microphones, please do consider subscribing! Stay safe and take care!
Is that background noise from the camera or something else?
Hey, Tosho! It's the room noise, I wasn't in my normal filming environment. Thanks for pointing it out! Please subscribe and be part of the community! Take care!
Boya MM1+ is not available in my reigon. I have been waiting for it for some time but MM1 is available, I don't know what should do?
Hey mark if u have 2 choices what would u go for mm1 and mm1 +
If I were gonna use it with a camera like a Canon M50 I would go with the MM1 but if I were to use it with my phone more, then MM1+.
@@markfriday bro I am going to order mm1 bcoz I am not getting mm1 + in India and I use it with phone
Wich is better for my sony a6400? thanks!!
Hey, Cesar, my main vlogging camera right now is my A6400 and the MM1 is too loud for it so I suggest getting the MM1+ instead. Please subscribe and be part of this community!
Sir boya mm1 or mm1+ for doing song covers with acoustic guitar?
Hey there! Are you gonna be using it with a camera or a smartphone?
Same question, in my case with Smartphone (Android)
How do you put it on the red thing? I'm afraid I'll break it

Itu aktifkan headphonenya gimana ?
is the camera level mode on automatic when you test the mic?
Hey, Tj! No it wasn't. I manually checked and set audio levels for both mics on my Canon M50. The MM1 was significantly louder than the MM1+. Hope this helps. Why do you ask?
@@markfriday when i tried it in manual mode on my camera I put it to the end third notche, the audio quality is low.... when i bumped it up, it produce a humming sounds....
What camera are you using? And how far was the mic? Was it mounted on top of the camera?
@@markfriday I’m using a 90D, it was mounted on the top of the camera...
90D is supposed to be a good camera, I owned the 60D and it was okay with the MM1. I wonder what's causing your problem. Are you using the MM1 or MM1+?
Does it work on fujifilm xa7
Thr boya by mm1+ headphone jack can only be used with a smartphone
Is it me or do they sound identical? :3
The MM1 wasn't good with wind noise, is this one better?
use the fluffy stuff to reduce to wind noise.
There is no noticeable difference.
gawa ka sir editing tutorial sa audacity!! thank u
does the headphone port work with trs and trrs headphones?
Hey, Senlouie! They will work for both!
I think it's Fake boya mic.
The qr code for real boya mic is different.
and yes i wnat to take interview
Hey, Rajvardhan! You might like this video I just made on different ways on how to use the MM1 or MM1+!

BTW people, louder microphones aren't better. Louder means lower impedance. Lower impedances means more interference noise when amplifying the input, because you amplify the interferences which induce easier in lower impedance wires. The Rhode is definitely a better microphone, if you were able to amplify it at the same volume as the Boya, you'd know immediately which is crispier and less noisy. This fact is also true for headphones and any analog sound circuitry.
Smh my head i just bought the boya by mm1
Ha! If that's the case, I hope you do, ELAO! What kind of videos do you make?
@@markfriday I usually make cubing vidoes, cos that's what my channel is all about. :)
haha same goes to me lol, just after i purchased by mm1, you posted this video hmmmm
@@elao7829 that's awesome! I know a guy here in Hong Kong who loves doing Rubik's Cube magic!
@@hatemaqil7649 Don't worry, there's a reason why I said that if you already own the MM1, you don't really need to upgrade, I still love the MM1 because it is louder than the MM1+ so I can use it with my Canon M50 better but for the MM1+, I would probably recommend it to people who use Panasonic, Fuji and Maybe Nikon.
