Podcast and Voice Over mics don't have to be expensive! On Obscure Mics, I will demo and review microphones that are not exactly the most talked about on the interwebs. Will I discuss name brands? Shure I will (get it?) ....but the OBSCURE shures. From no names, to discontinued, to downright dismissed...I will help you find the budget mic that may be perfect for your mic locker. Also, if you have found an obscure mic and want it reviewed, by all means get with me and send it on over! Thanks for watching, and feel free to email me at bark@obscuremics.com for inquiries.

Ok, now you have to compare it to other mics under $20, the behringer 84c, the waymic, and gear it brand mics 👍🏻 The transformer might make it the winner.
Definitely plan on it!
@ObscureMics for some reason it wont let me but I dm'ed you through ig
Unless you live somewhere in the world that $100 U.S. dollars is the equivalent of a million just get a real Shure SM58. Over the course of a year that's a giant .28 cents a day. If you used the mic for ten years that's a a whopping ten dollars a year and if you don't lose it or have it stolen it will last half a century or more. Why waste your time with a mic that is maybe "almost" as good as the real thing when the real thing just isn't all that much money??? The race to the bottom for the cheapest product that sorta comes close-ish to the original is silly. You can pay ten bucks and wonder for as long as you own the cheap clone about how close it might or might not be to the original iconic mic or you can just get an actual Shure, know that it's good and get on with using it probably for the rest of your life if you choose to.
Totally get that. There are however a lot of people who want to get into podcasting, RUclips, or other hobbies that don’t want to drop $100 on something that $10 can do for a long time for them. Again…totally get not going cheap if you are going to be on a stage or are getting paid from the get go. But for a new hobbyist, it’s not always just as simple as buying a $100 mic
@@ObscureMicsYeah I get that some people either don't have much cash at all to spend or just want the cheapest thing that will get the job done. Still I think many miss the point that one can get the actual Shure SM58 or an SM57 which are super solid great sounding mics for only about $100. And if you can't come up with the $100 all at once you can even pay just $3 a month for three years with no interest and still own the real deal. Real quality audio tools are an option and quite available to almost anyone at least if you happen to live in the U.S.
i agree it sexy
I have a 33-984D made by Shure for Radio Shack. It's almost 30 years old and it works quite well. I have more expensive Shure mics but that one from Radio Shack is pretty special to me
That’s awesome. That’s how I feel about my Avlex AVS77 despite having more expensive and technically better mics
I got this for about 50 bucks in August 2018 and used it until I upgraded to an AT3035 in February 2024. It's been entirely unproblematic. No driver issues, no reliability problems, no background hiss or anything. I mostly used it for telephone or skype calls in homeoffice and any feedback I got was along the lines of 'I hear you loud and clear'. It might not be audiophile grade, but it's been a solid performer for almost six years, so I'm glad I picked it up when I did.
That’s what it’s all about. Getting great use out of something that doesn’t break the bank, and that doesn’t have to be top tier
The original is a bit "fuller" is how I would say it, but It is a very good replica that costs only $9,50! I would have a few of those in my mic case in case I all of a sudden need some more dynamic mics. I think no one will hear the different especially when it is miking something on a big stage. If they have the same SPL rating as the SM58, I see them miking a brass section that no one told me was coming along :D
Fuller sums it up. Yeah this would definitely work well in a pinch
@@ObscureMics Maybe even without a pinch :)
1:48 LMAO man
Couldn’t help myself
DANG! For that amount and what not does how do you NOT buy one... oh ya... cause they are out of stock and don't know if they will be able to restock them. Great find to those who got one in time. Congrats. Thanks to Bark for sharing and trying to find a great deal for everyone!
Hopefully they release more
How?? How in the world is that mic less than 10 bucks? Not complaining, but wow, this is a best buy. I mean I would not record with it, but impressive buy.
I’d do podcasts with it no problem
@@ObscureMics Podcasts, yup, it would work in that capacity for sure.
Used my best headphones for this one since I was editing some stuff. I agree with your assessment. I can tell it's not the SM58, but it at least sounds similar and not bad at all for the price. For someone like me, who never takes his mics out of his tiny home studio, build quality is not a dealbreaker if other criteria are met.
Validation!
I think I have another obscure winner its a "BETA58A" from aliexpress and somehow its got a transformer! you gotta remove the xlr port and shine it but still it sounds great for 20 dollars!
Shine it? Wait what?
@@ObscureMics its from Space Aduio Store in aliexpress its a great mic for its price!
@@ObscureMics For some reason it wont let me send it through youtube but I sended it to your Instagram :)
love it! you always make my day for some reason lol
That’s the best thing about doing it. If I can help someone enjoy a piece of their day….thats what it’s all about Thank you
That's really impressive for 10 bucks
Absolutely
Amazon lists as currently unavailable.
Saw that. Hopefully they come back
The mic even got the chin below the grill right! Damn!
It did!
Man that's interesting Cheapo dynamic champion material?
At less than half the price of the XM 8500 I would say so
do you think it would fit on a FIFINE Tank 3 ?
It’ll stretch onto it
hmmmmmmm. okaaaaay! Interesting sir.
Indeed
Link for the Berk B-roll rig
All DIY and the stand came with a discontinued mic sadly
would you say its worth it to get this one over the D27?
100% - this thing is a hidden gem
thanks, im gettin one
Thanks for watching
Does anyone know how it performs when a brass instrument is playing into it?
My son has a trombone I could get a sound sample of
@@ObscureMics That would be great 👍
@@Trombobrer I’ll try to get that as a short done this weekend
@@ObscureMics Thank you
Made the sound a little warmer
I am a big fan of Maono and have always trusted Maono's products. I have a lot of their products at home right now. Thank you for your recommendation!
They make some great stuff for the money
which one has better sound quality, this SM-8B or the Fifine K669C?
For me the K669C
And IIIIIIIIIIIIII just demonitized your video oooooh
Totally worth it lol
CM25 is way harsher.
how about cobalt series? co11
Ive wanted to get some of the cobalt series. In the plans for sure
@@ObscureMics cool! I'll be waiting
@alexshel8578 appreciated!
Great review. I'm going to get Maono PD400X in the future (waiting to go on sale or lightning deal).
Solid tank of a mic
two things . . . I heard no difference that couldn't be attributed to the two takes . . . What do you mean digital inteface and analogue interface? There are all analogue on the input and digital into the computer? Please explain what was what please
3.5mm trrs vs usb connection Easiest way to distinguish them imo I could’ve said on camera mic I suppose
@@ObscureMics Gotcha! Thanks
The AG06MK2 is a great little mixer that doesn't get nearly enough recognition. The only issue I have with it is that the Windows control panel app is a straight port of the smartphone app. It absolutely sucks on the desktop and I hate using it. Unacceptably lazy implementation on Yamaberg's part. Also, I wish that the "Reverb" and "Comp/EQ" (or "Amp Sim") buttons were assignable because I have two mics plugged in and I want to switch the mic processing on and off on channel 2 like I can on Channel 1, but I can only control the amp sim state. Come on, Yamaberg! Get your head in the game!
Yeah that is the one thing I don’t love…lm able to overlook it simply because I’m always the only one recording in my shack, so the comp and equipment on one is fine
Its like one of those crap V8 sound cards but with sliders XLR, fantom power and an LED display. Otherwise the options and even the samples are the same
Nailed it. I’ve seen it under 3 different names so far 🤮
what in the actual hell is this thing?! Who is this for? I cant see this being useful for a streamer, podcaster or musician. Its a toy.
A METAL toy !
@@ObscureMics 🤘
Nailed the ending.
Yesssssssss
Not sure what happened with the cropping on the 2nd half of the video, as it was not cropped in editing 🤔🤔🤔. But as jar jar would say, meesa don’t care anyways
😂 funniest review I’ve seen in awhile, I have to clean my monitor cause I spit my coffee when laughing 🤣 and sprayed it. Dangerous 😂
That’s what I like to hear!!
Using this comment btw lol
I like you. You make me raff.
You had me at “glorified sound card”. One of my favourite niches in audio is your exasperated reviews of sound cards masquerading as interfaces and mixers. This one is a disastrous gem - thanks for the entertainment!
That makes me very happy that the “category “ is appreciated
"This is not horrible. It's just kinda bad." LOL
Sad but true
Lol this is Good Bark! But funny thing is the gear coming out now is Overkill for majority of new podcasters 😮💨
Cuda!!! How you doing!? You are correct. I have been using a Samson wireless usb mic for a lot of my stuff lately and man I love the lack of cords and bulk
