I had multiple listens to each microphone, and for me there are two that clearly stand out - the Pyle and the Melon Audio. Really suprised by these two! Also, if you enjoyed this video, please don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE 🫡
Imo the pyle and melon mics sounds good to me. But overall they all have their own unique sound signature! Pls review more budget mics and maybe budget audio interfaces?.
Thank you for this video. I'm thinking about getting back into making music & am interested in going with the Melon Audio. I do kind of wish they hadn't raised the price to 79.99 (is at least on sale for 59.99 right now) but they must be selling like hotcakes for good reason.
Great stuff, Mr S - but wouldn't it have been more useful to have used the different mics for recording all the earlier commentary (that I'm guessing you used your bestest mic for??) sections?
Hi. I snagged the Melon. The price did drop. Not sure I'll use the echo feature, but I like that it's USB-C interface and having the headphone jack on the bottom of the unit. Have you ever used the echo feature? If so, for what?
I actually spent quite a bit of time with the Melon mic. For me, the echo feature is nice for singing and once you use it, you’ll see it’s just a fun add on feature. Once you get it, let me know what you think 🫡
@@EdwardSmithMusic I've been testing it. Had to dig around in my Windows 10 settings to get my laptop to stop using the built-in mic. As a newbie to these mics, it seems very sensitive to the sounds made by messing with the knobs, muting & adjusting the boom arm. Should I be using an app or just stick to Windows/ Realtek defaults?
I'm honestly stuck between the Maono and the Melon... They both sound really nice to me. Can the Maono attach to a boom arm though? That would be my main point of concern since I hate having it on my desk.
A man did a review on the concise microphone but he was using it sideways. He kept complaining about how low it is but he was not even using it right lol.
The latency on these are very minimal. I recorded these into voice memos on my Mac, then exported the tracks, converted them WAV. Then imported the audio into Cubase… Tried to keep things simple 🫡
so as i expected these mics are not showing up in a DAW as a source to record ? Its only usable for OBS. Maybe you should make clear in the Video what a limitation this is.@@EdwardSmithMusic
Im eyeing the melon audio mic a lot, I like the sound, but there are a few problems. I dont know if the microphone fits on any shockmount I have and also there are no reviews on the amazon. Also its hard to find on the internet in general, nobody knows about this microphone. All i need to know tho, is if it can connect to a shockmount. either the 4cm (1.57 inch) holding in mid midair or 1.5cm screw on type
Can you pls. Do a review on Soyuz 1973 pls.🙏🙏🙏. I Will be grateful if you can reply 😊 I always respect your recommendation before I go for any purchase because all of your reviews are so pure 🙏
@@EdwardSmithMusic one last questio, i do have the budget to go for behringer c1u as well. Will that be a better option? I noticed it has a frequency response till 16khz and not 20
It’s definitely better than compared to these budget mic’s. I believe that comes with Shure software but it’s pretty basic meaning it’s more beginner friendly for people that don’t want to use a DAW. But if you’re recording vocals you’ll probably want to find software that you’re familiar with… like Logic Pro or even GarageBand
@@EdwardSmithMusic on Amazon, unfortunately, links in comments are not allowed. Actually is costs €94, that is $102. All other models, but Melon Audio, have quite similar price in European Amazon. I don't know why.

Appreciate the sound test with picture of each while playing the test recording.
@@utubepunk Thank you for watching!! 🙏🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusicThe Melon is now $80 though! 😖
Yo bro can you do a review on the advance audio cm800t please
I have the neumann tlm 103
The coconise sounds amazing
To me the 🍈 sounds more clear and it can be more for video content. But the 🥥 sounds good for streaming, in my opinion. ❤

Pyle mic sounds best to me. Surprisingly the coconise actually sounded pretty decent!
Agreed! I was so surprised! :0

Great video! The sound comparison test was super helpful! Really liked the Coconise and just got on sale for only $20!

My Microphone Doesn't Have Volume, but I'm So Inthusiastic On The Podcast, Please Help It Get Volume
it actually makes the comparisons even better bc we have something to compare the USB mics to- which one sounds the closest to the professional mic?
I like the Pyle-USB Mic audio, it sounds warm and very good for 32$
Awesome!! 🙏🏻
I have a motu m2 so for a cheap mic I got the AKG P120. It's good. My rode k2 was on loan to a friend.
You're a better person than me. I would never loan out my K2!
@badmiddens I lent it to a friend who passed away from cancer in August, the k2 is back in my possession again
@@jerzilla Oh I'm sorry about your friend. That kind of loss is really difficult. ❤
I actually love the RGB ones, so what about Maono?
Appreciate this guy’s content so much, best decoration taking your advice and bought the Behringer C-1 Condenser microphone
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
Budget microphone? That's me! Thanks for these. 👍
Thanks for watching!! 🙏🏻
The coconise and melon for me
Looks and sounds and prices. What about polar patterns? Which one's are Omni directional? Bi-directional? Cardioid microphone? Shotgun microphone?
Between the maono and the tecurs usb mics which would you recommend for singing and podcasting?
Loved your video , what are your thoughts on the senheiser profile microphone for vocals?
the melon sounds great
With the Pyle mic do you think it will record guitar well?
can you please do a short about the AKG Lyra usb mic for vocals? ✌
Very high quality video
Which one would u recommend for singing? The pyle or Sennheiser profile usb mic or Akg ara usb mic
From the mics you’ve mentioned, the Pyle is the only mic I’ve tested… and it sounds good 🫡

The Condenser Microphone Is The Best!

Hi. Yes, the Maono can connect to a boom arm stand.

Best Microphones for Vocals 2024?
Coming soon!
i assume these mics have no ASIO drivers, so how did you get them into Cubase and how bad was the latency with the non ASIO drivers?
The latency on these are very minimal. I recorded these into voice memos on my Mac, then exported the tracks, converted them WAV. Then imported the audio into Cubase… Tried to keep things simple 🫡

@@DiwasShresthaMusic about to, for some reason it was like twice as expensive in europa

i think the coconise and the pyle sound the best
YESSSURRR 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Would you recommend any for singing vocals?
In this video, the Melon Audio USB is my pick for singing and vocals.
@@EdwardSmithMusic thanks man!
@@EdwardSmithMusic one last questio, i do have the budget to go for behringer c1u as well. Will that be a better option? I noticed it has a frequency response till 16khz and not 20
Can you please make a video on the Vault ccm 340 condenser microphone
Do you know if the WMT 29$ microphone is compatible with a mic boom arm
Can any of these be used for voice-overs?
Coconise sound good and pyle
do you think a shure mv7 would be good for recording rap vocals
It could work, not sure it would be my first pick though 🙈
any mic is good is only as good as you are

@@greg6162 yo i’m not going with that no more i was gonna get the rode nt1 5th gen you think that would be better?
pyle the best
seem maono is the best one? own software hah😬
Full disclosure, should have detailed what yours is?
I slept in a bit since it’s New Year’s Day 😂 Arrived a little late to leave my comment 🙈
@@EdwardSmithMusic So is one of those yours?
That Coconise is literally a Fifine A6.
Is that good
@@realspitter2727 yes
Can these budget mics be connected to an iPhone 15? Anyone? Thanks in advance!
The Melon is like impossible to find anywhere. not on amazon or anything
are usb mics functional with xbox
No
This was great till i realised the melon audio was ninety three dollars AUD
In germany its 110€ ;-;
AND its a shady company that keeps renaming itself
Melon Audio costs $95 - not under 50 at all.
Maybe you got it at action price, I don't know.
Oh, I see it’s now $59… where do you see it for $95? 👀

What about FiFine? It sounds really dumb that you didn't add it to the list
Because this is a sponsored only video lol
you need good headphone first to hear the diff... unfortunately I already roll the dice
No way this video exists 🫠 yooo 🔥 thanks, I imagine that if I connect a audio interface it’s going to sound nice
