Oh no.. NEVER USE XLR – USB C DIRECT LINE!
For a video on microphones, you’d think they would do something to reduce the echo….
Everyone who watched this video is dumber now.
Doesn’t test the most important thing- sound quality- totally useless video.
Ooooof that XLR to USB recommendation hurts my soul.
they dont sound that far off ill just get the razer one
None of these mics are impressive for their price range.
wait is this the verge??
ok trying to buy my kid a microphone thanks
is this a crossover with the verge?? holy crap the sm7b take was ATROCIOUS????????
XLR to USB? HUH??
Phantom Power to this mic isn’t needed UNLESS you’re using a FetAmp/Cloudlifter
The Verge PC guy got hired by IGN to do a mic video?
Honestly didn’t hear a difference at the end 😅
You can’t use Phantom Power with an SM7B. Phantom Power is for condensers. Way to get everything wrong. This video is terrible.
You should make videos with 4k quality.
The Verge PTSD flashbacks…
This is an absolute fking useless video and just shows that ign knows fk all about audio. The quadcast is propably the worst 100$ usb mic, and don’t even bother talking the SM7B cause you clearly don’t know what ur talking about
That SHURE sounds YEAHHHHH
6:38
NOBODY ever shows how to play games ( keaybaord+mouse or console handcontroller sounds) and how to position your mic for not having to spend hours in audio editing.
often your handcontroller is audible when you speak into the mic even with a noise reduction on.
wait wait wait wait, so you tell me that dynamic mics needs phantom power and condenser mics don’t??? REALLY??
Man, there’s so much wrong here. How can a microphone comparison video where the narration audio sounds like garbage carry any credibility?
maybe review a tonor tc 777
ithink the 140$ is better than the 400$ one
Thank you, I’m off to perhaps buy the Hyper X for voice over. Currently on promotion for £89 at Currys PC World (in the UK).
how do you get the shure mic for less money
Verge PC build 2.0
no shut
Hey..where is the cheap part? LMAO
Thanks sir❤️ from india 🙄
none of this is budget… like wtf lol
When he jumped into the conclusion, it sounded like a 3£ mic compared to the others
4:51 the morning”🥴🥴”
i’m buying the hyperx
Im not sure between the quadcast or the shure sm7b so I’m just gonna get quad cast since it looks cooler and have alot of options
Your audio is too poor to review microphones
which stand is that?
The HyperX QuadCast S is a waste of money.
Probably gonna get the hyperx
DO NOT USE PHANTOM POWER with a dynamic microphone
the morning blew hella load for always coming
is he from "The Verge PC Build" ?
Yeti X FTW
can you set the rgb to white on the QuadCast S?
🤦♂️ this is just…no…just no. 🙄
t h e m o r n i n g a l w a y s c u m s
Thank needed this
I’ve always wanted an SM7B. it’s obviously the best microphone of all time. 😕
Bets mic for your budget!
Shows 500 dollar mic in the thumbnail.
This reminds me of The Verge’s pc building vid. Please dont just read the back of the box and actually ask a professional.
How was this video made in my birthday?
