Hellooooo! ^_^ Please Vote with a number of the mic you liked the most! In this video let's figure out which binaural set up you enjoy the most! :D Thank you for your time and your help! ♥ Directory: Soft spoken ear to ear (1), behind you (2), cedar balls (3), scratchy sequence (4), orange bag (5), comb in plastic (6), hair brushing (7) (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) Mic #1 00:25 04:34 05:55 11:22 14:44 19:19 25:05 Mic #2 01:00 04:00 07:11 12:32 16:11 20:50 26:46 Mic #3 02:05 05:05 09:05 13:43 17:50 22:42 28:38

please don't ever apologize for a few mispronunciations!!! you have some of the best english ive ever heard from a non-native english speaker; your vocabulary is larger than a lot of the people who were born and raised here in america. everyone understands that you can never be perfect, but you come pretty damn close. a couple mess-ups are normal!!

Mic #1 gave me tingles. Mic #2 gave me tingles. Mic #3 gave me tingles.

She's so genuine and I think that is one of the big differences between her channel and other ASMR channels.

Nice video. The differences between the microphones are too subtle for me to hear, but I do hope that the cluster of cedar balls appear again some day.

Concerning the voice: #1 is the best for soft voice #3 is the best for whispers #2 is the best for personal attention Concerning the triggers: The #1 was the most soothing for the pine balls & the hairbrushing The #2 was the most soothing for the sequin & the tapping with the orange bag The #3 was heaven for the pink com in plastic bag & the scalp massage Of course, that's just my opinion but I hope it help ! :D that was a greaaaaaat video !

#3

I could notice that the first one and the third one had some imperfections and kinda background noise which made it soooo chill, specially #1. I don't know you but less professional stuff makes it more relaxing. The atmospheric quality of the first one was SOOOOO good!

Thanks for the shout out Maria, made me smile! I'm super proud of you and I'm so glad you've turned a late night Skype call idea into something that's now on thousands of ASMR videos being seen by millions of people. You still inspire me and I'm happy to call you my friend :) - James

now thats dedication, buying different microphone to let your own audience decide for your content, thats amazing! Keep up the great work and thanks for helping me relax!

Maybe its a social experiment and they are all the same microphone

Idk why I read the title as " What that mic do?" Lolol

#3 gave me so many tingles

#2

#2 is double tingly. Don't change a thing Maria. You are a class act. Definitely the top. A horoscope video would be wonderful. Fire, water, air sounds in the background representing the signs as you describe them with red, blue, white color changes similar to your reiki video?

... am I the only one who couldn't hear a damn difference between the mics? :I

Maria's lipstick is always so beautiful.

"I'm not going to make this easy on you." *sees pink comb* Awwww shiiiiit she about to tingle the hell out of me.

Maria, I thought each mic had its moment where it sounded the best depending on your positioning. #1 seemed best when you leaned to the side and whispered close while still being in front of us. #2 seemed best when you were centered in front of us. #3 sounded best from the peripheral and behind. Maybe that's just me, but figured I'd give you a breakdown :) Thank you for always putting out great videos for us. You're my favorite (and my first!) ASMRtist

Please make a snapchat. Seriously. Make stories that are like behind the scenes and sneak peaks and whatnot. And all stories are for ASMR as well. That would make me love you more than I already do

The third mic is so good! :)

*MIC FEEDBACK* *Ear-2-Ear & Behind You* #1 by far for best ear-2-ear and behind you. best isolation for talking in 1 ear to another. however *mic #2* is a close second for omni directional talking while not as good as 3 in terms of isolating your voice into 1 ear alone. its a close second :) :NOTE: however i need to point out Mic #2 might not be the best thing for close whispering from behind. i noticed some extreme mic popping while talking. but id asume with some editing it could be the king of all kings for close up ear whispering! *Ceder Balls* unsure if this was intentional or somehow got the audio channels stuck in a monaural. but #2 i heard no stereo sound what so ever. no matter how many times you moved them around the mic or from left to right. it still somewhat felt like it was coming from 1 fixed point of origin. id say *Mic #1* wins this category. again if we are going on terms of isolating the sound into 1 mic to another it, it done the job better than the other 2! *Scratchy Sequence* this was a tough choice for me. Mic #3 just won by a inch compared to Mic #1. both mics had better sharpness and was subtle in the process of the scratching. they also had the best stereo output compared to #2 witch again sounded like it was monaural. *orange bag* again it seems to be boiling down to mic's #1 & #3. they both showed the best in terms of directional tapping. #1 by far best the most crisp mic. picking up the tapping in all its glory *ALL HAIL TAPPING* - Mic #2 i dunno whats up with it but its feeling awfully lack lustering in terms of stereo audio. *Comb In Plastic* its at this point im completely surprised. Mic #2 actually sounded like it was omni directional :D and was the clear winner for crinkles. #3 would be a second choice but just sounds like its being restricted in picking up the crisp plastic bag. *Hair Brushing* i personally felt #2 came out the best but was a weird yet oddly tough choice. for some reason! as Mic #2 thus far in certain category's have felt under whelming. yet it sounds the best in terms of scratching / hair brushing and crinkles Tested and listened to on - Asus Cerberus Gaming headset (20 - 20000Hz) frequency range w/ 32 Ohms - Sennheiser HD 558 (15 - 28,000 Hz) frequency range w/ 50 Ohms *PLEASE KEEP IN MIND* this is purely from my perspective. everything said here is feedback from me personally, and others may or may not agree depending on the audio devices used to listen to this (IE: Ear buds / wireless headsets / Over the ear headsets etc etc)

I feel like the world becomes a better place every time you post a video.

You can definitely see that the orange bag triggers you immensely Maria, I always find it extra relaxing when you are visibly enjoying it too

number 3 is my fav. that one makes your voice so tingly. I love how it just makes everything sound a little softer, but more tingly

#2 is the best because it has depth to the sounds which is the whole point of ASMR...I think 3 is so clear you can't really get the tingle you want. #1 is second option to #2

I really like the clarity of #3, but I like how soft your voice is on #1...so maybe use #3 for tapping and sound videos and #1 for up close, personal attention videos :). They both good, but for different types of ASMR. BY THE WAY I LOVE YOU MARIA!!! You were the first ASMRtist I ever listened to and continue to be my favorite:)

#1 is my favorite but I can't see a big difference between 1 and 2

Gentle Whispering ASMR #3 for sounds and talking, #2 for close breathing

#1 for Relaxation #2 for Sleep #3 for Study

For me, it's #1 then #2. My problem with number 3 is that the sounds are a little too crisp for me, almost harsh. Also, when you talk, number 3 pushes all these little "mouth sounds" into the foreground which takes away from the relaxation, in my opinion. Thanks for all you do!

3- close up whispers 1- soft spoken 2- either one. My favourite is number three. All three are great.

#2 best one by far

Mic #1 is the best for trigger sounds. Mic #2 is the best for close up whispers. Mic #3 is the best for soft spoken videos. Thats how I feel about these after 4 times of watchin/listening to them^^ Thanks for all these awesome videos^^

#1

hi Maria! any chance those cedar balls will be in a new video? I absolutely love the sound the wood makes!! gives me intense tingles.

OMG 😳 ive been casually watching ASMR vids with no headphones, slowly getting into it but WOW!!!! ASMR WITH HEADPHONES GOT ME TRIGGERED! I can feel her whispering right into my ears 😨😍😍😍 MIND BLOWNNNNNN

Maria, you are such an inspiration. I've had panic disorder and depression for years, and you've always helped me fall asleep and appreciate the little things when I felt like I couldn't do it. I feel a lot better recently. I cannot thank you enough, you're a big part of that. 💜💜💜

Mic 1 and 2 (mostly 2) make for a better ASMR experience as they add a very slight hollow echo-ey-ness to the sounds. I get that mic 3 has the better sound quality BUT it does not make for a better ASMR experience for me anyway. Like the video you did with the telephone customer service rep selling superpowers. The distortion of the phone call sounding voice made for the best ASMR experience. Perfectly real crystal clear sound doesn't give me tingles. That slight hollow echo gives the sounds more pop for me. Yup,mic 2. Thanks for this!

The cedar balls have the most amazing sound, I hope they show up in the future.

Gentle Whispering is definitley the best at ASMR ive tried other youtubers but no one compares to her

Maria must've felt my stress because I just finished my essay and I'm on the verge of pulling my hair out

Oh man, that hairbrush in the case is one of my favorite sounds ever! I really like the #2 setup!

Okay! I've watched the video twice now to make sure I found my favorites. I love the way microphone #3 sounds when you speak. It's very crisp and it just feels/sounds incredible, however, I personally believe that microphone #1 sounds better when you're tapping or handling objections. The crinkles and vibrations of the object can be heard so much better when using #1 or #2. I'm so torn! 😭

Hello beautiful soul ♥ I think ASMR is not about the mics and technology. You're a success because you're calm, gentle, and know what you are doing to make us melt.

There's something about mic #2 that is just so wonderful and tingly!! Love how creative this video is, and I appreciate the interactive portion of it with your viewers. Also that lip color looks so nice on you. All my love and support ❤

3 is soooo clear! love it

1- whispers were really good, no background noises or if there was very very minimal. Soft spoken was good too. 2- slight background noise, but it wasn't bad at all. It was very good for the sounds of the pillow. So tapping and stuff I feel would be good on this mic. Whisper was good too but there was the slightest rumble when you breathed in the mic, but the soft spoken was really really good even though I know this was all technically whisper. I think this mic overall would be good for rollplays. 3- I like the pillow on this one. I think this mic was good in tapping. Alittle background noice here too. The whisper didn't have the little rumble. I think this mic was good at close up whispers. I think you used this in the inaudible whispers video? The choice of which i liked best is hard because they're all really good Mics. I think my overall favorite was one though.

Definitely either #1 or #2. I personally prefer the *light* background noise accompanied by your voice. #3 was virtually silent except for your voice, it was almost crisp sounding and it didn’t have a strong amount of bass, which is something I prefer with your voice. #1 & #2 worked both for your voice & the trigger sounds in my opinion! x

Oh Maria, you really are the personification of ASMR. I am genuinely so grateful to have you as the shining star if our community. Oh and 3 for me :)

"Good evening" Me: *falls asleep immediately* I cant handle your shooting voice

I don't care about the microphone. I just love your voice, your eyes and your heart, you're amazing!!!! No matter what.....

"THIS IS WHAT I BELIVE IN! THIS THING RIGHT HERE!" X'D

#1 is my choice. Mic #1 seems like the most crisp, clearest sound. #3 is a close second place, #2 seems muffled and far away.

Hi Maria! I'm an OG subbie and I don't comment often(because I'm usually unconscious shortly after beginning your videos :P) but I just wanted to let you know how much your videos mean to me. You've saved me countless hours worth of restlessness trying to get to sleep over the years . You're a constant in my life that I will always cherish. I've loved watching your channel grow over its lifetime and I will be watching for however long it goes on. Love you!!!

Number 2 feels deeper so more relaxing for me 😘

I think #3 gave me the strongest chills because I'm more sensitive towards high frequencies, but pleeeease use all your mics! Your diversity is one of the best things about you (which you obviously proved by making a video just like this one).

In my opinion I think 2 is the best, because you can notice the sounds have more bass in the 2nd one, which kinda gives me more tingles.

Number 3 my lord! Pick number 3! ✌️

She is one of the only ASMRtists that reacts to her own ASMR. I love it.

Omg I'm in love with the pink comb!!!! Omg tingle heaven!!!!!!!

Ok. I went back to this 4x with 2 diff earbuds & a high-quality headset, Maria! I work w/ A/V stuff so.. ok! #2 is def a NO across all categories. #1 & 3 - very close.#1 is warmer, more enveloping, more full, LOUDER, & MUCH better with tapping & sounds. #3 is indeed crisper, but it's a "cooler" sound as well. Tapping is lost. The crinkling doesn't "fill" ur ears. I think it's a good niche for videos in which u primarily speak. Hope that helps. :)

They are all good for different noises. #1 is great for low noises like tapping, movement, and soft spoken #2 is a great mid range mic for soft spoken and whisper. Great for role play. #3 is great for higher noises such as tapping with finger nails or "sk" type noises, best for scratching sounds I would recommend sennheiser and shure microphones personally. Depending on what model you get, they are very well rounded with some even having different Polaroid patterns for endless possibilities for ASMR innovation. Thank you for listening Maria. (:

#2 is the most relaxing one. I vote for it. I like the background sound it makes. It almost doubles your voice, AMAZING!

#3 is definitely better. It's quieter in the background and the whispers are clearer. Love you!!

#3 is the best one so far

can we talk about how pretty she is

#1 is best for whispering and tapping, #2 is great for close-up personal attention but doesn't pick up many sounds at a distance, #3 is best for crisper sounds like the cedar balls and the plastic over the comb. Personal favorite was #3!!

I personally prefer mic #1 because I feel it makes triggering sounds more clear and tingly and it gives a soft clear relaxing tone to your voice. Keep up the good work Maria xx

-- Short answer -- If you wanna just use just 1 mic, my favorite was #3. If you plan to use multiple still, I would use #3 for mostly voice videos, and then #2 for mostly prop videos (like the paper video you made recently.) -- Long answer and reasons -- This was tricky. - For all of the voice tests #3 was easily my favorite. - However, with the cedar balls #3 just sorta lacked something, I think it may have been the lower frequency clicking of the wood. So #1 and #2 did the best there, with #2 doing a little better I think. - With the "scratchy circles" (sorry, don't know what they would be called lol), I think #1 and #2 were pretty much tied, all I know is once again #3 was a little weak here cause it seemed like it left out those lower sounds again and it seemed lose the feeling of rubbing you get from those lower sounds. - With the tapping I think #2 was probably was the best, but I actually think #3 held up fine here. I think the crispness of #3 worked well with tapping even if #3 doesn't get low sounds as well. - Comb test, sort of the same; #1 and #2 and a good range, but #3 just didn't pick up the whole range well. - The wig was same again; #1 and #2 very similar and #3 lacking a little. So the reason I choose #3 (despite my notes) is I think you have a lovely voice and It's what I enjoy most about your videos. Then the reason I choose #2 with #3 if you plan to use multiple still is because I think #2 was basically a better version of #1 and it was better with props than #3. P.S. It was so hard to stay awake enough to take notes!! :)

I nearly screamed when I saw the orange makeup bag.

Definitely number 3..best for whispers! My favorite trigger!

0:16 I accidentally heard "three different set-ups of badoodle microphones" wtf

#2 Buttttt #1 is extra great for your voice, I felt. Thank you for all you do :)

can I just say I loved your overall atmosphere and vibes in this video? you were so warm and silly and playful, it made it so wonderful to watch!! very relaxed and chilled out, it was easy to fall right into relaxation mode. concerning the mics, I enjoyed the first mic regarding speaking/whispers/anything voice related. I loved the second mic for tapping/crinkling sounds, and I preferred the 3rd mic for scratching/hair brushing/or anything with a lil bit of a harsher sound! hope this helps somewhat and I also hope you're doing well! I loved to see your silly side in this video, i think she should come out more often!!! sending you warm wishes Maria ❤

#1 is the best for whispering/soft spoken from ear to ear, and #2 is the best for using the objects

I think it would be good when you do three comments with the 3 numbers of mics. Then we could like your comment and you can see it better! Please like my comment if you like the idea that Maria can see it! (my favourite was #2 btw)

I really like #1 best. Great quality in my opinion. All of them are good but #1 has much less white noise in the back and picks up other more important small noises

I could listen to the hair brushing forever...😍

I love #3 the most. It would be perfect for ear to ear whispers; very distinct, crisp sounds!

Microphone number 3 it sounds more crisp and it has that breathing effect on your ears

#2 is the winner for me, it's very clear sound I love it

#2. I feel it was the crispest sounding with least background noise

I can enjoy a lot of ASMR-tists when I'm in the right mood. But only Maria can put me in the right mood. Only Maria can give me tingles in the middle of the day in a crowded coffee shop with obnoxious music playing in the background and make me completely relaxed 😴

#2 is my favorite!! Definitely sounds the most like the Maria videos we all love!! I think mic #1 could also be used for particular videos, but I really didn't like #3 at all.

How can 32 people dislike this She is an angel

Oh Maria, I love you so much. I watched this after having had a prolonged panic attack and it just calmed me down completely. Sometimes just hearing a soft voice and seeing a friendly loving face is all you need. I'd give you a hug if I could, you're beautiful Maria. keep doing what you are doing!

I liked number 1 for everything, but I loved how the sequins sounded with number three

This was the most relaxing test video I've ever seen! :-D My favorite is #1, it has by far the most balanced sound. Second is mic #3, witch has a very clear and crispy sound but misses the warm lower frequencies a bit. My least favorite is #2, because it sounds a bit dull and not nearly as clear as #1 and #3. And the spacial separation seemed not so good to me.

*#2* - Definitely the best one 👍 -- Very warm sound, very good depth perception, but it does have more background noise (hissing). Still my favourite though. *#1* - Still good, but not great 👌 -- Good depth, clear and crisp, buy a little tinny, it would be better with a little more bass/warmth. *#3* - The worst one for me 👎 -- Very little depth perception, very tinny, no bass, no warmth. Really don't like this mic.

#3 was awesome while you were speaking, it really pulled out your consonants which I LOVED. #2 was the most enjoyable for inanimate object trigger sounds, I thought it was the most balanced of the three.

I couldn't tell because I feel asleep after the first five minutes of listening to your beautiful voice. xD

i think she has a straight up asmr superpower

If you're reading this I wish you all a good night's rest .

It depends on the application. #1 has the most low end (since it's a large diaphragm condenser), accurate high end, and the most sensitivity. It works best for voice, so I would say use this for anything where you'll be talking. #2 has decent low end, less sensitivity, still good highs. Sounded good on the orange bag, wooden balls, anything midrange-y. For high end detail, use #3. Sounded great on the hair and the sequins, although the sequins close up to the #1 mic was awesome too. Just remember, your distance from the mic changes the tone, and changes depending on the mic. #3 will never be very bass heavy unless you are very close, but #2 and especially #1 will get very bass heavy at close range.

Love them all! But 3 made me tingle soooo much when you whispered 😍😍 whispering is my favourite trigger and you do it a lot so I'm going with 3 😁

Im wondering why Russian women in particular are so good at this ASMR stuff.

2 seems best overall

2 makes your whispers sound really smooth and crispy so i choose that one

For me the best tingle are in the mic #2
