What are you going to use this microphone for?!

[derbohmann]

I do like your video style and energy, but i would have preferred to listen to both recordings first and then to your comment to both microphones. This would make the comparison for the viewer easier as there isn't a third microphone (the one you're actually using) in between. But other than that it's a nice video.

Literally screamed when you did the “my voice” edit 😂😂 love it! Great content

So I had ordered 4Mv7 but they don’t have 4 black in stock and in the time frame I need them. So the supplier suggested the Rode. I wasn’t sure about which way to go but the Rode definitely sounds “better” to my ear. Listening through an iPhone speaker. Great video.

Every video I see on The Mv7 is sounds Tinny and thin. I think the Rode is a better option based off what i've seen. Thanks for the video!

[HenryMusic]

The sound is more natural & balanced with the MV7.

high frequencies especially “s” consonants sounded almost overcooked with the rode, as if the gain might have been set too high.

The high frequencies are more subdued/ better handled with the MV7 & it sounds naturally De-essed.

The MV7 captures the frequency range more evenly.

I’ve had issues with high frequencies on my previous mic so I prefer to have something with a subdued response that I can edit if need be in post.

Also, I’ve heard that using the shure SM7B foam pop shield can reduce plosives & sibilance even further.

For a short video or commercial the RODE but for a lengthy podcast or spoken video the Shure HANDS DOWN.

Super helpful, thank you! Can you recommend a floor mic stand for the Shure MV7?

[zeeshanish]

Hey bro. Great video. You need a de esser on your audio. Those S sounds really harsh lol

[amadeusebastian]

Thank's for the review, very helpful👍

This is a comparison I wanted I was originally planning on buying a mv7 last year but the podmic won me over price wise but while I'm unhappy with the price point of the podmic usb the price point can still win me over despite ut not being a budget mic anymore

[SHAKA-NEU-LU]

Every vid I watched I seem to be leaning to the podmic usb. Maybe I’ll buy both and see which one I return

[TheTrailDancer]

Which software are you using to create your video here with the PIP? Also, which would you recommend for a mic used for online classes/recording/podcasting? Something i can travel with and USB? Which do you prefer?

Thanks

Nice vid..

[alansarpy]

awesome Channel! Do you think the rode pod mic would be a good option for voice over?

[KozyKubGamr]

I use the mv7 with xlr on a maonocaster e2 my gain at 8 and low eq up high with mid and trble about halfway.. i then record thru audacity and the way i create my audio profile before editing really helps with a higher pitch female voice. It was a toss up between these 2 mics. Reason i like the xlr with the shure is because I don’t have to eat the mic to get that rich sound. I do wonder if rode is better tho

[Coolguykylor]

I can’t even lie. I’m biased. I love shure products and especially the mv7

[exMasterNQQB]

Hello. Thanks for the review. Can you tell me if the microphone RODE can simultaneously output sound via USB and XLR ?

[zNeroba]

and PODMIC against Fifine t699? which one is better without EFX ? great video!

[JobyClarkFullSail]

The sss’s and plosives on the rode were terrible. Plus the mids seem too pushed and brittle. Mv7 without a doubt wins the sound test.

[HocTiengAnhTheoNguHanhTuongHop]

I think it is better for me to compare if listening to only both sounds without the explanation between.
