Surprised the Sennheiser Profile wasn't on this list alongside the Rode NT-USB+, should've been in the intermediate section in place of the Blue Yeti X IMO

This video was informative, but the video was VERY distracting. For clarity - the cut to the SECOND camera is very distracting visually. It's jarring and the QUALITY is much lower. Seems as if the second camera is a smart phone. The FIRST head on camera is PERFECT. No need to cut to an inferior video that distracts.

Great video man! But I need some help with mics if that’s okay.

I’m stuck on whether to get the - Elgato Wave 3, Podmic USB, Sennheiser Profile, BEACN Mic, or just a Fifine AM8?

Budget is sub £250 ($300 ish I guess?)

Revamping whole setup, moving from a Razer Blackshark V2, so that includes £60 Elgato LP mic arm and £60 Sennheiser 599 Headset.

Will be using them in a noisy room with a tv usually on in the background. This is most important, and had me wondering whether a gaming headset is better, or if independent mics can still do a good job of isolating voice.

Many thanks

I was expecting to see a usb/xlr mic in the beginner mics like the Samsung q2u and a Audio Technica 2005

7:50 WARNING! SUPER LOUD TECHNO MUSIC.
I had to turn the volume down to 2 for that to be normal, but voice was a whisper. Please don't do this to the viewers. if you add such stuff, make sure to adjust the volume in the video editing software to be at reasonable level. Not blasting peoples ears. So if listening at higher volume it's way too high volume, possibly cause hearing damage.

I'm on you channel first time, but the watching it was a hard time, jumping out of focus, rapid change of frame mixed with really beautiful shots of equipment. Appreciated the content of the video but not enjoyed watching it. I can see you are an audio experts.
