Today I review the Sennheiser GAME ONE Gaming Headset; an open back set of gaming headphones with that typical Sennheiser tone. You get a wide soundstage to help locate where sounds are coming from, and a relatively neutral tone. The microphone doesn’t sound amazing, but it does a good enough job for gaming.

Today I review the Marantz Pro MPM1000; a mic that sounds like a cheap version of the Rode NT1. If you are looking for a budget XLR mic that is bright, then I think this would be a good option.

Today we’re looking at the budget usb microphone titled "TONOR USB Microphone Kit Q9 Condenser Computer Cardioid Mic for Podcast, Game, YouTube Video, Stream, Recording Music, Voice Over”. This is a USB microphone that records 16-bit, 48kHz, lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack, has a high noise floor, and picks up a lot of background noise. If you just need something for conferences or chats, it’ll be fine, but I think there are FAR better options around the same price.

Today I review the Apogee Duet, a premium USB interface for Mac, iOS, and Windows (in the near future). This is not cheap, but it offers excellent A/D and D/A converters as well as +75dB of gain on the preamps! If you’re looking for a portable USB interface that gives you that studio sound, this is a great option!

Today I review the Rode NTG3, a very popular shotgun microphone that directly competes with the MKH416. This has a large present, treble, and air boost, but it doesn’t sacrifice anything in the low-end. It offers a full and well rounded body, while maintaining clarity in the top. This shotgun does pick up a bit more ambient noise than it’s competition in the MKH416, but that’s the trade off you’re making for the added low end.

Today I review the AKG C214, an “entry-level” mic in the C414 family. This microphone has a rather boosted treble and air range giving it a very lively sound, but it sometimes leans towards being sibilant on spoken word, breathy on singing, and a tiny bit shrill or brittle on acoustic guitar.
