You’re absolutely right. As far as headset mics go it’s one of the best I’ve heard. I still want to try the higher end headset mics that are over $500 to see how those are. But for ease of use and accessibility, if a headset is needed, it’s great. However If a full on stand alone mic can be used, I still think it should.

Agreed (listening on my phone)

@@Podcastage yes more headset reviews! Definitely interested in some higher-end options

As far as traditional headsets go, Corsair HS80's sound pretty great I use them for work.

@@Podcastage I also want higher-end headset options as well. Those that are not mid-focused.

this needs to be pinned!

That is very kind. Thank you very much for watching. Have fun recording.

@@Podcastage Thanks!

Thank you very much Rainer. Yeah I think for video conference it's ideal. Apparently people think it'd be great for broadcast as well. I appreciate your continued support.

becasufe of durable , I think bphs 1/2 is better than this.

Yes why the attached cable….

We need more singing drummers! Woooo 🌈

A ModMic style attachable version of this headset mic would be incredible

@@occasionalart7597 Precisely something i would love to see.

Just a follow up for ya: since making this review, the USB version has been what I use for my day job calls every single day and It has worked great for me.

The m50x cords have horrible longevity too. It makes me really worried about buying this headset

missed opportunity, for sure. I was expecting "2 Inch from the mic" ~{derp filter}~ ... Banjo missed That one for me.

I'll eventually get around to testing that one out too.

Great insight from the sports broadcast side of things. I appreciate that.

Studio use, surely not, but as a singing drummer, I would absolutely use this microphone for singing live while monitoring the bass better on a silent stage. I know a lot of singers who hate headset stand-alones for comfort and will love this microphone because it sounds definitely good enough for professional live singing. Besides, there is no way an actual AT2020 would survive modern stages feedback issues, so that's an even better option that most stand-alone mics I would use on a stage (and much better than an SM57 IMHO). I don't overly worry about bleed too much either, but it did pick up quite a bit of the keyboard, so the FOH will have to keep that in mind. For back vocals, finely tuned gates should be absolutely fine. I don't picture a leader singer using those but I mean why not??

@@jas_bataille That makes sense.

You're very welcome. Thank you for the kind words.

@@Podcastage deserved! would you recommend them even for rooms, which have a lot of reverbations?

btw. which eq would you suggest for eq'ing the usb-version? thank you!

They are fantastic, kind, and I trust them which is why I feel comfortable recommending them.

@@Podcastage i salute you sir 🫡

Interesting. I had not heard of that headset before. I'm not the biggest fan of the Beyer headphones so it's kind of hard for me to justify.

@@PodcastageThe Beyerdynamic dt297 and dt797 headsets are in Germany basically what the SM7B is in the US: the podcast mic standard to aspire to 🙂 They have the same condenser capsules but different base headphones. I use them for my podcast from time to time (was very useful when I had back problems and needed to stand a lot) but they still sound very “headsetty” - No competition imho to something like the much cheaper Røde M2 or similar stage condensers. Still: Visit a very well known German podcaster forum and everyone will refer to the Beyers like the holy podcasting grail 😅

Yes. Check the device walkthrough portion. I discuss zero latency monitoring.

Got it. Thanks

@@Podcastage Got it. Thanks

Great insight on long term use. Thank you very much for sharing that.

@@Podcastage I think a big factor in those pleather materials falling apart is humidity- previously living in a dry humid I didn’t really see it, but in a humid climate it starts to degrade quite quickly. I switched to Beyerdynamics, because you can replace the headband padding separately on them, which I wish AT would adopt.

The stock cushions are too small and uncomfortable anyway. Definitely worth replacing

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching and the kind words.

It's been a long time since I've used the BCM705, but I don't think this headset mic sounds like the RE27 N/D. The RE27 has such a hyped sound that is quite unique to it. But I never considered doing a back to back comparison. It really is different strokes for different folks, and every sound source (in this case voice) is very different. What works on one person might not work on another. That's why I do not advocate buying something just because you see everyone else using it (see: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7SVpLR0ns_deWg.html)

@@Podcastage I should probably do a video about this. it might be time to resurrect my channel

It’s the best sounding one I have tried but I haven’t gotten to the higher end headsets yet.

​​@@Podcastage hope you get those to test some day! If you ever make bc-headset reviews, can you include the handling noise test (turning head sideways, touching cable at the earcup end etc.)? Thanks!

I think the USB sounds a little bit better. I use that headset at my day job every single day.

I'm also curious how it'd sound for broadcast; compared to the Sennheisers I bet that condenser mic would pick up too much arena noise

Comparing the Modmic USB in directional mode to this, the Mod Mic has a lot more bass and proximity effect, while this mic compensates for that. It's going to come down to your personal preference which one you like the sound of better. This mic sounds clearer and more realistic and condenser like compared to the mod mic. I can't tell you which one you will like better though. Here's the USB Omni & then Directional demo: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rZqUoaWL2paWlHk.htmlsi=-Qxmc5QLfwdRb9ir&t=239

...for a headset mic.

That was hilarious when he compared it to the U87.

Do you think the cable will hold up over time ?

@@RovexHD It's thick and sturdy, but I'll be using it on my desktop 95% of the time. It's got a 5 year warranty, but if you're moving around a lot, I would pass.

I'll have to look into the NTH Mic. Thanks for the recommendation.

Wow thx

Thank you for the correction.

For the sound quality of the mic, yes I would. For the headphones it's much more subjective. Many people absolutely love Beyerdynamic's headphones, but I find them to be a bit bright and fatiguing. I used the MMX300's for a day at work and since some people have really trash mics, in a conference call I had to turn the volume down to 2% because it was painful. That's partially the microphone, but the headphones just weren't a fit for me. If you like the bright beyerdyanmic headphone sound you may love them, but they weren't for me. Hope that helps.

@@Podcastage Wow. I didn't expect that you will still reply to my comment considering that this is relatively an old upload of yours. Thanks for the insight regarding the MMX300s. I think I made the right choice considering that I was able to order the m50xSTS with 20% discount (from where I live the price of these equipments are more expensive than the prices there in North America). Actually, I've been watching your videos even those uploaded years ago, and I enjoyed all of it including the learnings that I get. In fact I even consider getting a separate headphone (Sennheiser/Beyerdynamic) and a mic (Rode NT USB Mini/AT2020 USB). But decided to pass and get a headset first, since I don't have enough space in my room yet to setup a desktop, and getting this combo will limit it for home use only. Overall, my subscription to your channel is worth it! 💯 Thank you very much!

@@johnpaulguevarra6916how much you paid at discount?

Whoops was trying to comment on the wp900 review but it switched on me 🤦🏻

Yeah. I wish they had interchangeable cables.

I have not considered working with Linus. I don't know if I have much to offer him or if he'd want to work with someone like me.
