Under $30 Steal - ZealSound K66 Pro Studio Mic

The ZealSound K66 Pro Studio microphone may be one of the best under $40 microphones I've ever tested - how do I know? This entire video was done with ZERO post processing on the audio track. No filters, no compression, etc. Would it benefit? Maybe a little - but the fact this microphone straight out of the box can give you studio quality sound is amazing to me.
I cover some of the nice things about it, and some of the things I wished they would change in this video. If you want to pick up one of these - and I wouldn't feel bad if you did - you can use my affiliate links below to support the channel with a small commission.

I've just purchased this mic too and it's fairly decent. You can enable noise cancelation by holding the mute button.

I’d recommend an AT2020 usb or XLR version or the Samson Q2U which has both. The Samson is a dynamic mic which will have a boomy close up pick up pattern and the Audio Technica is a condenser which will be more “accurate” depending on the type of singing.
