Dynamic Microphone Comparison (Shure SM7B, RODE Procaster & PodMic, Deity VO-7U, Maono PD400X, BOYA)

In this video I review and compare six different dynamic, broadcast-style microphones from heavy hitters like Shure and RODE, plus lesser known brands like Deity, BOYA, and Maono.

First I cover the reasons why you might choose a dynamic microphone instead of a condenser or shotgun, and talk about why they're a great fit for podcasters, streamers, and voice over artists.

I'll also share the pros and cons of each microphone that stand out to me the most, as well as special features and functionality.

After that, you'll get to hear a blind audio comparison with both male and female vocals to help you decide which mic sounds the best to you.

Lastly, I'll share my thoughts on each mic after having used and tested them over the past month.

Every microphone in this comparison has potential, so hopefully this unbiased comparison helps you decide the best match for your needs.
