Sennheiser has the best sound quality. If you turn on the volume using a good headphone and listen you can see the spikes bass from Shure. I won't even consider Rode which is terrible compared to these two. Amazing review, thank you so much.

Came across your video when I was doing research on microphones, so glad I found your video, really appreciate your effort!! I wasn't sure which one to get, but the trrs audio jack is one of my main concerns as I'll be using it with my smartphone. Shure MVL has really strong esss sound, which can be edited on PR later on; while Sennheiser XS Lav is comparably convenient as I don't need to reduce noise & rumble.

I feel like the sound from the Sennheiser was the best - in my opinion. I just purchased the RODE Smart Lav+ yesterday and did a little test and it sounds great. Unfortunately I cant do a comparisson on my side as I dont have anything else to compare it to. But in your video here I think that the Sennheiser XS Lav sounds the best.

If a lav mic has 2 meters, just create a slip loop a little larger than normal you could also make 2 slip loops. Just use gaffer or whatever tape you have. You should already know how to make these loops as they are key for ensuring your subject doesn't put strain on your lav mic.

Thank you, thank you Chris! Great comparison with everything you want to hear. For me: 1) Sennheiser 2) Rode 3) Shure MVL. I think the Sennheiser XS Lav mic sounds the best overall. Nice base, natural warm voice indoor, outdoor and with background music. But the Sennheiser doesn't sound clear on the phone recording! (listening on a noise canceling headphone) The Rode smartLav+ has some clipping or distortion, nice bass though, with indoor and background music sounds good. The Shure MVL : it's a favourite of many but those high S sounds, high peaks...I personally really don't like it. More background sound outside, less base.

Hi totallydubbedHD and other viewers. Not sure if anyone can help / advise here... slightly weird question, but.....If you place one of these mic's against a surface, what are they like at picking up bass frequencies -i.e thudding on walls? I've tried to record the noise by placing my smartphone against the wall but it doesn't pick up the bass thuds too well on the playback, unless I turn the volume right up, where they are then just about audible but then it's mostly drowned out by hissing. ( This was just the inbuilt mic on my Galaxy S7 and default voice recorder program) Does anyone have advice or experience on how the mic would perform at that task? Thank you..
@theduftmeister3 жыл бұрын
For context - I have problematic upstairs neighbours doing DIY, running laundry machines and godknows what at stupid o clock, say 1AM to 5AM most nights with hideous thudding coming through the walls / ceilings ( and no, it certainly isn't what you're thinking before anyone says...!!!) after months of this, unfortunately, I am possibly going to need to take the relevant steps to remedy/report this. :( thanks.
@TotallydubbedHD3 жыл бұрын
Oh wow, that's a terrible scenario! To be honest, not really sure - but if you placed it on the walls, it'll not only pick up the hits but also any small knocks to the wall too (depending on the sensitivity of your source device). All of them should be fine for this, arguably the bassier one will be the Rode.
