I just bought this last week for my classes, perfect timing for this vid's release. Thank you for the review!!

[alonsogabriel]

Got an andoer branded one.

Works but depending on your electrical setup or whatever soundcard youre using, it will either have too much noise or too low volume.

4:34 I think this RAW out is better than any other post production output

Hey Norcla...what's your best suggestion for recording outdoors... looking for a mic that can be used for a fitness instructional video?

[antoniobento]

Great review bro! Keep up with the great work!!! 🔥🔥🔥

Hi, bro you videos are amazing. Can you tell what are the filters you use for OBS? (For By M1)

[buggiemara]

Did you make a video about your Voicemeeter settings/filter with BOYA BY-M1?

[gbj]

I just bought one. Not working well for me. In OBS Studio, (i have the mic turned to max), but when recording using the boya m1 the volume playback is very low. Unless i hold the mic right to my mouth, its recording low for some reason.

Can you make a short video connecting the mic to audio interface? I wanna hear how it sounds!

[julessmithpaints]

I have final cut… how can i make the Lavalier Mic sound so good.

Hello Norcla. Thanks for creating this review. So far, you been making reviews with some of the budget microphones in the market like this boya lavalier mic and BM-800 condenser mic. And I know that you're using an expensive mic Rode Procaster. But do you have any recommendations of the best budget-friendly dynamic microphones for streamers and singers? Thank you so much. 😊

[robmendoza]

Did you also hook it up to your GoXLR mini during your test run in the video?

[DidinAronchay]

Hi do you recommend this for film making with the use of boom?

[claravanholst]

Hi there, I didn’t like the fact that it still have very low audio that I could barely hear though - will try to fix the battery & the turn on & off button, which I didn’t noticed lol 😂 But I still like the sound of your current microphone as it’s better & louder in quality. I had to put the volume all the way up on my phone when recording - quite disappointed with this lavalier microphone atm 😬😱🤦🏻‍♀️

Hi Norcla! QQ. I just purchased a Xenyx q502usb and I have the BM 800 mic condenser, Do I still need to buy a phantom power 48v and an extra xrl male to female connector? Thanks!

[okamuspanulirus]

Is this compatible for phone video call sessions?

[LeXiCoNTV]

Boya mics are awesome mics for its price.
My shotgun mic is a boya one and it gets the job done for my outdoor shoots.
Great review bro.
=)

[MahathirMohammad]

Hey Norclaw, I wonder when will you make a processing video for boya by m1, like with voicemeeter or obs and especially Audacity.

[CmPunk]

Hi Brother, could you please share your settings - Voice meter - OBS Filters

[sazalchowdhury]

Would u pls tell me how I can improve RAW voice of BOYA M1. I mean voice sharpness? ?
