Today I review a mic that I bought for $16, a mic that I had labeled the worst mic that I have ever used. The CAD U1 seems to be a revised version of the version I reviewed in 2015, and it is a massive improvement over the original. I do think it still has quite a few faults that you'll need to be aware of while using it. Note: Original NT-USB is 535g while NT-USB+ is 510g. Don't know if anyone cares, I just measured it and didn't include it in the video. 00:00 - Intro / Price / Disclaimer 00:32 - Setup 00:50 - What’s in the Box 01:21 - Build Quality 02:32 - Specifications 02:56 - Polar Pattern Test (Tone / Rotation) 03:16 - Plosive Test 03:30 - Distance Test / Proximity Effect Test 03:53 - Background Noise Test 04:13 - Untreated Room Test 04:28 - Shock Rejection Test 04:45 - Desktop Tripod Test 05:34 - Mic Resonance Tap Test 05:48 - Noise Floor Test 06:29 - DSP Processing Test 08:39 - Intro to Comparison 09:14 - Razer Seiren Mini Comparison 09:38 - Samson C01u Pro Comparison 10:09 - Rode NT-USB Mini Comparison 10:39 - Blue Yeti Nano Comparison 11:08 - Audio Technica ATR2500X-USB Comparison 11:46 - Elgato Wave 3 Comparison 12:20 - Original NT-USB Comparison 13:00 - Blue Yeti X Comparison 13:40 - Neumann U87 Ai Comparison 14:16 - Latency Test 14:38 - Music Test 16:20 - Pros & Cons 18:33 - Overall Thoughts 21:00 - Recommendation 22:39 - Outro #Rode #NTUSB+ #MicReview Become a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastage Become a Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvOU-zTlankT-JjN3ZzvuKA/join Check Out This Stuff TOO: Website: https://www.podcastage.com Giveaways: https://podcastage.com/giveaways Discord: https://www.podcastage.com/discord Merch: https://podcastage.com/store Company Relationship Disclosure: https://podcastage.com/disclosure Personal: https://www.bandrewscott.com My YouTube Setup: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NR_lbON9Vow

Today I review a headset from Audio Technica, the BPHS1. This is a broadcast headset that runs into an XLR & 6.3mm cable. The headphones are apparently very similar to the M30x, and they are my favorite Audio Technica headphones I’ve used so far. The mic lacks a lot in the lower frequencies, but that is by design. It helps ignore a lot of the lower frequencies to ensure vocal clarity in loud environments. 00:00 - Intro / Price 00:28 - Setup / Disclaimers 00:47 - What’s in the Box 00:58 - Build Quality 02:21 - Specifications 03:08 - Polar Pattern Test 03:20 - Background Noise Test 03:30 - Pros & Cons 04:15 - Recommendation 05:18 - Outro Buy the Audio Technica BPHS1 US: http://amzn.to/2jIAm6u UK: http://amzn.to/2jJFIyo CA: http://amzn.to/2B6oEa5 DE: N/A Buy the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 (2nd Gen) US: http://amzn.to/2vDFbzK UK: http://amzn.to/2w8O2f6 CA: http://amzn.to/2wKGKfG DE: http://amzn.to/2hbtxsV My YouTube Kit: https://podcastage.com/studio My Favorite XLR Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favxlr My Favorite USB Mics: https://podcastage.com/rev/favusb NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): If you purchase an item using my amazon link, it provides me a small referral fee.

Today I review the brand new Samson Q9u, a USB and XLR Dynamic microphone. This thing offers a similar form factor to the SM7b, has a USB output, an XLR output, a mid boost and high pass filter switch, as well as a headphone output for zero latency monitoring and computer playback. The mic does suffer pretty bad from handling noise rejection and I couldn’t find a way to mix 0 latency monitoring and computer playback.
