Support the Sponsor of this Review: https://antlionaudio.com/collections/modmic?utm_source=Podcastage&utm_medium=Youtube&utm_campaign=Summer Today I review the little brother to the most popular headphones on youtube, the Audio Technica ATH-M40x. These are very similar to the M50x, but with a flatter frequency response. The only complaints I have about these would be that they get warm over long periods of time, the cable system has a proprietary mount, and the mid frequencies seem to have a slight cut to them. Other than that they are relatively neutral and a decent option if you’re looking for a set of studio headphones.

Today I review my new favorite broadcast condenser microphone, the Earthwork Ethos. This is an expensive mic, but it offers a powerful low-end without being muddy, a clear and detailed mid section without sound scooped, and an extended and open top-end without sounding over-boosted or artificial. It also rejects plosives extremely well handles handling noise like a champ. It’s expensive, but hacking shoot am I impressed by this thing.

Today I compare the legendary Shure SM57 against the new kid on the block the Beyerdynamic TG I51. The SM57 holds it's own in many aspects, but if you're looking for a less aggressive tone, the TG I51 may be the route to go.

Today we compare two of my favorite microphones, the Shure Sm7b and the Rode NT1. One is a broadcast & podcast standard and the other is a neutral condenser with one of the lowest self noises on the market. Which do you think is the best?
