Sennheiser Profile Microphone - geni.us/2XTqh Sennheiser Profile Streaming Set - geni.us/bHClu Sennheiser Profile Streaming Set with Headphones (great deal!) - geni.us/dwSSO *** ALSO CHECK THIS PRICE - howl.me/cka5pOILjEh ***

I tested it earlier in the year and can say it was extremely impressive. The in-built shock mount was unbelievable with how well it isolated any noise in, around, or to the capsule itself. Never seen a mic refute so much "usage noise" like this one does. You truly barely hear any handling noise. Even muting is whisper quiet. On top of this recording quality was top notch and build quality was among the best I've seen, especially at this price segment. Solid metal build! Definitely a fantastic option at this price point.

So happy to see this mic getting the love it deserves 🙏

take a shot everytime he says Sennheiser

Thanks for explaining what no one else has explained; the MIX button.

Of 8 or more USB mics that I have used for Teams meetings the Sennheiser Profile is by far the best. When rejecting background noise it exceeds the rest by a country mile.

It is an awesome microphone, but what impressed me how freakin AWESOME it handles the studio headphones I have. The amp inside is amazing! My ATH-M50's open up so beautifully trough the mic I do not even need to plug them anywhere else anymore. When you buy this mic, you buy 2 things in one. Solid headphone amp and a solid microphone.

i've had the sennheiser profile mic for a while for my twitch streams and i can say i absolutely love it!! the only thing that i wish was different was the mic arm, if you decide to go with the streamer kit. for me personally i find it too short and i wish i could turn/twist the mic easier and in more angles. but that has nothing to do with the mic itself!! its very easy to work with, the quality never fails to impress me. i loooove how little background noises it picks up even without a shockmount. i personally think its one of the best ones out there for its price so i highly recommend it!!

I would usually maintain that the best deals in audio equipment are from the used market. You can get a pretty good interface and XLR mic for around the price of this mic. Probably even more-so now as a lot of people who fancied themselves podcasters during the pandemic are looking to get rid of their never-used setups. Likewise, I'd usually argue that a dynamic or shotgun mic is generally the better option for anyone without a controlled recording environment (podcasts with other speakers, gaming setups, youtuber studios etc). Condensers simply pick up more, and that includes the background noises and echoes of an imperfect studio. However, most people probably don't want to go through the effort of researching and deal searching. There are better sounding mics & better looking mics for the price point, but really at the end of the day once you hit a certain threshold and/or apply some vsts, unless something very wrong is going on, everything will sound pretty much the same over youtube, twitch or free spotify compression (especially with the prevalence of bluetooth). This particular product seems like a pretty good recommendation :). It sounds very good and I doubt there will be many issues with software. Anyone who needs more than this can offer will probably already know what they're looking for. For people looking for something inexpensive but of good quality, I'd direct attention to the Razer Seiren Mini (one of Razer's very few good products - the more expensive version is awful), or something from FiFine, though they may be less reliable. For those looking for a good USB *dynamic* mic w/ a good OOTB experience at around the same price point of the Sennheiser (which is, again, a condenser) the Deity VO-7U is a good option.

Does it come with a USB A adapter if your PC doesn’t have a USB C port? No one incudes this in their review.

You know, the boom arm that comes with this package brings significant value in itself. This style of boom arm often sells for about US$90, which makes the entire package at US$129 an incredible deal. Most boom arms are cheap painted metal with exposed springs and weak connecters where it mates with the desktop clamp. I'm glad that you mentioned the sound isolation from bumping the mic arm, because it's something that many RU-vidrs don't consider. I never thought about it, but luckily my mic (AT2005 USB/XLR) has excellent sound isolation, and I know because I've bumped mine a number of times. If I was in the market for a high quality USB mic, this definitely be near the top of the list.

Sounds great! I can't decide between this and the Rode NT-USB (Mini), I'm on a low budget. I want to use for my Zoom online lessons and to make youtube videos.

Sounds a bit hissy tbh. Thanks for the overview.

Mark, thank you for this information. I sent the link you have below to my phone so I could purchase this and make sure you have some affiliate credits. I'm currently using the Blue Yeti which is great but am looking for something with a little better quality and also this style (boom arm, etc). Thank you again for explaining and taking the time. Phil

Thanks man.... Never had a streaming mic I was going for a GXT 232..Not now mind!

I've saved your affiliate links to buy for the future once I have the cash and a room that's not so noisy in our new home. Cheers and thanks for the video!

Could you do a comparison to this and Fifine AM8?

small correction - the desktop version comes with a 1.2m cable (not 2m), also it isolates the handling well, but can carry over sound of a laptop fan if the laptop starts working harder

Omg the audio really does sound good. Are you serious you didn’t apply any EQ or compression? Those 2k - 8k sound drastically reduced, like we need it for modern audio without making everyone go “ouch”! Or maybe that’s just me from decades of listening to and then producing music after I turned pro. Either way this one isn’t harsh on the years and I love it.

how many times did he say “sennheiser microphone”?

I am an apogee customer and i think they have the best USB-mics. I built all my RU-vid channel with the apogee 96mik. And I also I used it for my music project. But ok, my mic was about 250 €. And you don't need a software to have the best of it, it is plug and play.

I personally love the Shure sm7b great quality and reasonably priced

el audio del comienzo esta procesado ó sin procesar? es tal cual suena naturalmente?

Excellent review. Excellent mic.

How do you compare this Sennheiser Profile with Audio Technica AT2020USB-XP? Which one has better all rounded sound and ease of use? I like both of them because they are simply plug and play without any possible software driver issue like Rode microphone with Rode Central in Windows OS.

I only have a free USB 3.0 port. How would this microphone work then? And would it work with a power USB hub?

should you buy popfilter?

What about microphone for packing and roasting in discord like packgod?

Great video man, can this mic be used with an iPhone as well?

So it's not necessary for an audio interface? Is that what you're saying?

Is it compatible with Android or Ipad Pro?

Great video, is there a way to get this mic into a canon m50 3.5 jack?

my senheiser dont sound like this

I ordered the mic without the boom as I already have one and it comes with a totally useless 1.2 m usb c to usb c cable and not even 2m cable as you say. Now I’m stuck as I don’t know what type of usb c cable I need, I mean regarding the data transfer speed and voltage etc Maybe you or someone else can help with this information. If I can’t sort it out I will return it even though I like it a lot as I will not pay an extra 80£ for a stupid boom that I don’t need just to get the cable

Is there any shock mount for Sen. Profile?

Can it be used directed to a usb c phone?

This microphone is $188 CAD before taxes and shipping, and that's just the mic alone, the arm is another $134 CAD. That's over $300 before taxes and shipping. That's not very budget friendly.
