u/Failed_Pr0digy · 1 pointr/steelseries

Not here to bash the SteelSeries Siberia 840 but I had problems with the 840. My main issue was party chat on Xbox One. I mainly bought them for the ability to have Bluetooth. The battery life is outstanding and having a swappable battery that is already charged is a huge deal.

But after several tries trying to get the party chat fixed and to have it not echo, I gave up. Friends were tired of hearing my voice echo CONSTANTLY no matter the volume or different mixes I set the headset at, it just did not work. So I returned to Amazon and replaced for the Gen 3 Astro A50's.

I love them! No echo in game or party chat, good settings I can customize, and mic monitoring (which I like, though some people prefer not to have it...which you CAN customize!) Battery life is awesome! I can game for 6+ hours. While it doesn't have Bluetooth, I can now run Spotify (on Xbox One) in the background while playing my game, so it's not a deal breaker.

I also bought this windscreen to help with the mic concerns.

Overall, it's your choice and I feel like different people that have tried these different headsets have mixed reviews about both...some really love the 840's while others hate them. And some love Astro A50's and swear by them after trying several different headsets. I'm with the A50 group.

I was there on the rail near the bar. What a fantastic night but it is always a great night when Phil is playing. Graham and Ross' guitar playing has really improved over the years. There was also great interplay between both of them and Jason. Elliot and Alex's vocals were on point considering that is usually a weak point at Phil shows.

Mr. Charlie was awesome and it is always a treat to hear Unbroken Chain!

If you want to continue recording and you have an iPhone, you can buy a mic so you can record in stereo and get a little better sound quality. I use one similar to this:

u/smushkan · 2 pointsr/videography

I'm personally of the opinion that if a recorder doesn't have balanced XLR, it's probably not worth having, but if you've already got an H2 and you're only planning on using it with suitable Lavs, then it will be pretty decent for interviews and the like.

Rycote do a softie that will fit most x/y configuration audio recorders like the H4N and Tascams. It might be stretchy enough to fit your H2's microphone too, though that probably needs some research before you commit to buying.

I'm fairly sure the H4N comes with a foam jammer which is fine for light wind and indoor breezes. I know the Tascam DR-40 does not though, can't speak for any other Tascam models.

u/omnishampoo · 2 pointsr/videography

I ordered this Rycote mount a week after working with tape/rings workaround for my ntg3 and c100 mk ii. Great if you want to quickly take the mic out to get it a little closer to the subject or even use it as a quick interview mic. It is built with the c100 mk ii in mind and fits perfectly into the screw positions from the standard mount. The can be rotated and aimed much better than the standard mount. Overall a brilliant investment and would highly recommend. Rycote 037324 InVision Softie Duo Lyre Mount with Microphone Holder https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B009RLCWSQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_r9zjxbJNJ6AA1

u/qu1et1 · 1 pointr/microphones

I have an iRig Mic HD2 that I like pretty well, BUT using a typical $5 double mesh screen pop filter is NOT cutting it. I have tried adjusting gain and standing farther away from mic — no luck.

So I’m looking to upgrade. Recommendations? I’ve been considering a) one of those big foam over-mic windscreens and/or b) this double-layer metal mesh windscreen. Thoughts/opinions/advice?
Thanks!

u/tdoublem · 3 pointsr/Filmmakers

Not sure how much you're looking to spend, but this is the one I would recommend. Really good build quality and works like a charm.

u/InternMan · 1 pointr/audioengineering

Definitely get the accessory pack but the foam windscreen is generally only good for light breeze. This fuzzy one seems to have good reviews and would be worth the $10. There is a reason that all the guys who do sound on movie sets use the big fuzzy covers, they work really well at reducing wind noise.

u/Dizkriminated · 1 pointr/letsplay

Sorry, for the slow reply, I was in the shower, but yeah, either one those mics would do fine.

However, if you decide to purchase the Blue Yeti, I would also highly recommend that you purchase the Blue Radius 3 Custom Shockmount for it. Because if you just mount it to your desk using an adjustable boom arm and have a mechanical keyboard or simply move the boom arm to pick up your voice better, then every single vibration will also get picked up in the recording through the base of the microphone. This is due to the way that particular mic is constructed, but that shockmount seems to eliminate it.

Here's a link to Blue Radius 3 on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078MGXLVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_.qVjDbZG6N5VM

u/draggingalake · 1 pointr/podcasts

You could do something like this:

  • $99 Behringer USB Mixer

  • $54 x 4 Audio Technica ATR2100 USB

  • $13 5-Pack Foam Pop

  • $26 5-Pack MF XLR Cables - 10'


    Then you just need mic stands. You could probably even find cheaper Pop filters and/or XLR cables, I just did a quick search. Those mics are both USB and XLR and they are actually pretty decent for the price, so not a bad investment. You might want to look at different mixers, but that Behringer is one of the most affordable USB ones. I prefer using a Focusrite, but those are 3x the price usually.

    Edit, those mics actually come with XLR cables! I forgot. Not sure if they are long enough, but they should work fine too. Although some pack in XLR cables are super cheap.
u/eliasar · 1 pointr/battlestations

The problem: I want to put my Blue Yeti closer to my face without getting in the way of my monitors in my current setup.

----
Current Setup

  • Monitors
    • 24", 27", 24" on bottom row
    • 24" on top row

  • Monitor stand
  • Blue yeti weighs 1.2 lbs without the stand
  • I have looked at the RODE PSA1 and I'm 80% certain that it will get in the way of either side monitor at any angle greater than 30 degrees. I'm about 50% sure that if the angle on the RODE PSA1 is less than 30 degrees, it will not support the weight of the Blue Yeti.
  • I have looked at a pipe clamp that will fit around the middle pole, but I'm unsure of where to go from there to get the mic close to my face. Would something like this Posi Lock Telescoping Mini Boom might do the trick? I would imagine I would need another angle on the end to make sure the mic isn't point directly at my face.

    ----
    Thank you in advance for any advice.
u/Ryshinro · 1 pointr/PUBGXboxOne

Use to have these but recommend getting this for it. Mic is sensitive and you might wanna play with the volume, in the settings sometimes party chat would be louder than game sound.

u/Archayor · 1 pointr/HeadphoneAdvice

I'd say the Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee will be a great upgrade, since you've already liked the 598.

With the ModMic you should have gotten a 2nd base clasp and a bunch of adhesive pads so you can transfer one over to another headphone. You should be able to just pull it off. And just get some replacement pop filters from amazon. These will work fine.

u/transmutethepooch · 2 pointsr/podcasting

I had to google the mic...what a weird mount solution!

Here's what I did with my Samson Meteor which is smaller and side-address so not a lot of torque on the setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzzT5fFzMS8


Attach the handle to the mic, the shock mount to a boom arm, and thread the handle into the rubberbands. Kinda backwards from what the thing is designed for. I can't remember if it comes with extra rubber bands, but doubling up might help hold the weight of your mic when it's horizontal.

Here's an Amazon link. Hopefully you can get it in the UK.

u/Steffie_0_0 · 1 pointr/audioengineering

Hey guys! I'm planning on buying this: https://imgur.com/dlaSAeE
Microphone: AT2035
Mixer: Audient ID4 USB audio interface (i dont know if i need to include this, but im doing it nevertheless)

So my question is, do I need a pop filter or a wind screen with this microphone? If yes, which one would be better?

Also, I've been browsing the internet and found 2 pop filters. My question is, are they good and what is the biggest difference between the two?

Pop filter 1: https://www.amazon.com/WindTech-PopGard-2000/dp/B00946ZJN4

Pop filter 2: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J5OTVTC/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_pyLSAbREA3AAF

Last question: Maybe people told me not to buy the at2035 because my room is untreated, is it THAT bad? Should I get some stuff/foam on the walls, or go for a different mic?

u/brunerww · 1 pointr/Filmmakers

Hi aevz You should use the same pro mic with balanced XLR outputs both on top of your camera and on your boom. Consumer mics with unbalanced 3.5mm outputs such as the Rode Videomic "Pro" should not be used on a boom. Running 3.5mm cable over long distances is an invitation to RF interference. For a little over $800, I recommend [Referral links]:

u/Pray_Plague · 2 pointsr/buildapc

Blue Snowball for $50. Just plug and play. May have to adjust mic volume. Really sensitive mic. It will pick up almost everything in the background. Currently have one and I love it. I suggest getting a pop filter. I saw one on Amazon for $10 that is a full mic cover.

u/lime-link · 2 pointsr/podcasting

You can use something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076HSVZ5G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have it, and I have a mic similar to yours. It fits. If you're going true handheld, then you can get a grip for it too like this combo package:

u/ClemBurmingham · 1 pointr/AskElectronics

Cable is correct. I haven't worked much with the split cables. As such I don't think a microphone with a TRS end would be a problem, but if it was, a mic like this would be more suited for connection since it is TS. Also know, that any microphones done this way will pick up about anything around them and without noise canceling, it might pick up a whole lot of noise from inside your costume.

edit: I was thinking if you are looking to cut down even more, you could just do a trrs cable to 2 trrs cable like the following. Then all you really need is the speaker with a cable to plug in to it. This way you can use the apple earbuds with the built in mic. If your voice changer is doing an active output (you speak and hear what changes), this option would give you a direct feed to you and then a second feed to the speaker.

u/HybridCamRev · 1 pointr/videography

u/hacd123 - with a $300 audio budget, you can get a $199.99 used Zoom H5 recorder with a case plus a $99.20 SGH-6 shotgun capsule.

If you can stretch your budget by a few dollars, you can get a $217.99 Amazon Renewed Zoom H5 recorder with a 90 day warranty instead of a used recorder with no warranty [Referrals].

The H5 with the SGH-6 will give you very clean audio, as seen here (better than the DR-10SG because the H5's preamps are cleaner).

Again, hope this is helpful!

u/Cubeologist42 · 1 pointr/videography

u/drizzt_x · 1 pointr/starcitizen

You can always do what I did, take any pair of cheap gaming headphones you already have/prefer, use the following DIY guide to build a headphone mic boom:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Universal-Headset-Microphone-Boom/

And use this $18 Sony Lapel mic:

https://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECMCS3-Omnidirectional-Stereo-Microphone/dp/B0058MJX4O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1506521735&sr=8-3&keywords=sony+lapel+mic

It has improved the voice quality in my recordings tremendously.

Might also want a few of these:

EDIT: Fixed incorrect link.

EDIT 2: I suppose I should note that I didn't actually build that DIY mic boom, I just electric taped the lapel mic to the end of the already existing mic boom on a pair of cheap gaming headphones, rather than use the awful built in mic it had. Total cost for project was like $20.

u/beley · 5 pointsr/podcasting

Get a PopGard (or knockoff). They attach to side address microphones, don't take up any space, and work well. I have the name brand version but the knockoffs are MUCH cheaper and likely work just as well.

u/doc1429 · 1 pointr/SmallYTChannel

I'm guessing there would be a slight difference between brands, but you are not recording ASMR so it shouldn't matter too much. And believe pop filters also filter background noise as well as pops. But still try one to see whether it works.
Here's one I found specifically for your microphone:
https://www.amazon.com/YOUSHARES-Blue-Snowball-Pop-Filter/dp/B07GRQFGTJ

u/And_You_Like_It_Too · 1 pointr/PS4

I’ve had none whatsoever. You can position the mic so it’s right up in front of your mouth, or further away. The X2/HRs are open back and they won’t make it as difficult for the sounds to be picked up as they are with closed back headphones. But you get a wider soundstage as a result, giving the impression that objects are further off in the distance to your left or right, or even front/back.

In any event I’ve never had anyone tell me that my sound is leaking (and since I have my TV or home theater system turned off while using the headphones, there’s almost no chance of it happening — I just wish I could fix my friends that use their TVs as sound outputs and then blast them so their mic picks up and echos every conversation we have, haha). You can also adjust the mic sensitivity in the PS4 settings menu to your liking.

Here’s a picture of the V-MODA Boom Pro Mic — you can see in my hand the 3.5mm cable that runs to the flexible mic (which you can bend however you like), and to the right is the volume dial and mute switch on that cable. And then I happened to have a pop filter for an old mic lying around that you can just slide right over the mic (but you can find one for dirt cheap — I think it’s just made out of foam). It’ll get rid of some of the extraneous sound and also make any hard P’s and S’s a little less harsh. Totally not needed, but it can’t hurt if you’re worried about it picking up other sounds. A quick search on Amazon brought up a pack of 5 pop filters for $5 that would probably fit it just fine, and you could probably find a single one for even less money.

u/Boba_Fett_is_Senpai · 7 pointsr/buildapcsales

I tried these and they fit, but its a little tight

u/SSV_Kearsarge · 2 pointsr/casualiama

Lappel mic pop filters may or may not work. I suppose worst case scenario you can grab some duct tape and rig it!

u/Kolumbine · 1 pointr/battlestations

Nope that's a shock mount. Blue Radius III Custom Shockmount for Yeti and Yeti Pro USB Microphones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078MGXLVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_yqZ5Cb3MQ5BJN

Any generic pop filter will do, but if you want one that will wrap around the front here is one

u/IAmTheDream · 2 pointsr/razer

I found this. Look for "microphone cover", "microphone windscreen", "headset windscreen", etc. There should be a similar one out there.

u/NachosConCarne · 2 pointsr/AstroGaming

It's a windscreen, they're universal. I'm talking about the little black foam ones that you just slip on over the microphone.

This is what I used on my A40 TR when I had them and currently use on my A50.
