- I found 8 differences between these Mics besides the sound.
If you would like to go straight to audio comparison, use the timecode or go to 4:58
Mics I used: a $10 "No Name" vs. a $700 DPA 4060 Microphone.
You better use headphones to hear all the difference, but on a laptop, the sound quality of the $10 mic is actually not that bad. I believe it's because of the size of the mic. What do you think?

Second mic sound better as it is but after processing difference is minimal, good news for content creators 🎉
finally someone giving a really pro view on a subject like this!
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Difference on TH-cam is insignificant
yeah :(
Would have been good to test louder voice, maybe yelling , if one of the features is handling volume up to 134db
Thank you for the comparison! Do you have a link for the $10 lav? It would be nice to pick up a couple backups just in case.
The cheapest one on Amazon, it was really like 10 or 11 $. I’m not sure if TH-cam will be happy with putting some links :(
@@nikitamiroshnikov I think I found it based on its appearance, so it worked out.
You can buy 3.5 to XLR adapters on the cheap. Not an advantage
The DPA sounded so much better and cleaner. But the price, well...
Yeah 🥲
The micro phonics on the Sennheiser microphones are definitely a bummer seeing as how stellar the overall sound quality is if you can handle or fix the cable noise
Yes! And the sound matches perfectly with my sennheiser mkh 50. But the cable noise man. I did not expect that…
@@nikitamiroshnikov how do you go about reducing cable noise? i don't think it's really doable, unless you never move the cable...
@@SimonMas you have to do a loop around the cable close to mic, and stick it to the body so it don't move too much... its like a whole youtube episode I can do about that and I will lol
Have you got them in the correct position?
Yep
The expensive microphone sounds better, but not "I'd pay 70 times the price" better. I'd have to see how they deal with wear and tear, but as I've seen, the cheap one is a better buy, specially if you add some post-production.
Yeah I did not expect this $10 mic to be so good actually 🙄 I mean I’m trying to get the best sound and picture and everything for my clients and now TH-cam, but yeah, kinda shocking
Judging from what I heard soundwise it’s not worth well over 50x the price of the $10 mic. Diminishing return at its finest.
Yeah I was thinking the difference would be more noticeable 🥺
There’s no difference any more. I use a rode lav mic and also rented various high end lavs and other various mics for short films. If you use the AI on Davinci resolve then also use the AI from adobe there is no difference in final quality between the cheap rode and expensive mics.
🥺 yeah. I think only for movie sets it’s still matters. But not for content creators 🤷♂️
I’m sorry but for 10 bucks!!! Jesus! It’s good when compared to a 700$ mic!
Yeah 🥲
For the perspective of an independent small time content creator, when the price difference is this vast, there is no world where the 700 wins. If even the build quality is not up to standards. I can buy 70 of them for the price of one and the audio quality is not that bad.
