Rode NTG2 v Sennheiser MKE600 - which mic sounds better? 

At the beginning of the video the sound was somewhat muffled, possible gain was lower. When you went back to the wireless at the end of the video the sound was much clearer not muffled. The Rode mic seemed to have more "bass" but very clear. The Sennheiser appeared to have more treble and again very clear. Really a great review with switching between the three. Well done Bob. Thank you, Mike Happy Holidays to you and yours!

I just love your reviews

This was very helpful. Thank you

The DJI sounds very muffled and does not appeal to me. The Rode NTG 2 (I have one) is "bassy" and not as distinct as the Sennheiser. The MKE600 sounds the best in my opinion. Maybe I am biased since I have worked as a professional sound engineer since the 70's with the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation. I don't have the MKE600 but some ME64's as well. They are outstanding among other Sennheiser microphones like the MD 21 and MD421. So, I go for the Sennheiser in this comparison. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

thanks, very interesting, thanks for sharing

Great video, thanks. The difference is amazing. A lot of people do non-scientific tests. If you did more scientific tests, it might help your videos stand out.

I'm looking to move up from my ntg2 soon. I like the sound but the floor noise (hiss) is really loud compared comparable to the floor noise of the old Rode iPhone lapel mic. Really hissy. I'm looking for soothing I can used to get wild sound for my animation. The hissing is really annoying me now I've got a good studio micm

I’m actually looking at the sennheiser MKE 600 over the rode ntg2 for a studio Mic

Hi to my ears, the DJI mike sounded a lot worse than either your Rode or Sennheiser shotguns. Also, quality of sound from both improved notably when you got closer. Overall I preferred the MKE 600 for clarity with the Rode a tad base heavy IMO. I don't yet have enough experience to properly assess but suspect that your converted shop (c/w glass cabinets etc) is a far from ideal environment. Perhaps you might benefit from dragging in a duvet, rug or using proper sound blankets?
