Don’t Make THIS Mistake! Neewer NW 800 Mic Review

I bought this microphone for just $16 on Amazon while I was waiting though I was Sent this video clip I wasn't really Expecting to see this much of a Difference so the Nw700 circuit board looks like this I Don't know what it means but the NW 800 Looks like this and if we flip them over And look at the other side the NW 800 Has nothing on it whereas the nw700 has These two capacitors which I believe are What's required for it to use phantom Power so it's just sort of different the NW 800 has two capacitors on the front This has them the back it's definitely Not the same microphone just in a Different housing it is of a higher Quality than the NW 800 after watching That clip I did find a post where the Commenter said that Neer switched the Internals of the 700 to the 800 and the 800 to the 700 so I started to worry What if I bought the wrong version of This microphone the only way to find out Is to open it up and we'll get to that Inside the Box you get the microphone a Foam wind screen a female XLR to male 8 Inch TRS cable a 5/8 in to 3/8 in mic Stand adapter documentation and this Pretty cool shock mount that I forgot to Add in the picture the regular price for This microphone is just $24.50 however I paid $659 at the time of this recording Link

In the description build wise this is a Side address XLR only microphone with a Metal body sturdy Grill and it has a Pretty sharp paint job the mic weighs Just 11 oz and now it's the moment of Truth what's inside of this microphone Did I get the right one or the wrong one Let's See of course it's Not specs wise the microphone has a Cardioid polar pattern a frequency Response of 20 20 Herz to 16 khz an Equivalent noise level of 16 DBA a Sensitivity of minus 38 DB and a signal To noise ratio of 78 DB however take These specs with a grain of salt even in Their own documentation there's a Notation that says we apologize for Being unable to provide any further Information on possible changes in the Related specifications of this product I Don't think I've ever heard that before This is what the kner NW 800 sounds like When talking directly into the front of The microphone this is what it sounds Like talking into the side of the Microphone from one foot away here's What it sounds like talking to the side Of the microphone from two feet away Here's what it sounds like talking into The rear of the microphone from one foot Away and here's what it sounds like Talking into the rear of the microphone From two feet away now if I was an elite

Gamer typing away here's what it would Sound Like now if I was an elite gamer trying To be quiet typing here's what it would Sound Like now I am going to compare it to Another budget microphone the K669 C this is the newer NW 800 this is the k669 c But here's how the k669 C sounds in Comparison to the kner NW 800 going to Switch back to that microphone right now All right now I'm back on the kner NW 800 and here's how it sounds in Comparison to the k669 C chime in in the Comments Down Below on which one you Think sounds better if you enjoy this Channel Please Subscribe I'd greatly Appreciate it when it comes to Pros Obviously you have to look to the first One and that is cost even at its Original cost 2450 that is not much of An investment if you're starting a Podcast a live stream or content Creation of any sort so it's not like You're going to be out a bunch of money If you decide to upgrade to something Else I'm going to link the next two Pros Together because they go hand inand one Being the build quality for this price I Think this is a a good build and for This price I have to say like the paint Job it's got a nice flashy gold accented Grill the gold grill looks really sharp

In my opinion and I think they've done a Good job of making it stand out even Though it's a budget microphone another Pro in my opinion is that it came with a Ton of accessories wasn't expecting that But uh happy to have them in case I need A cable like they sent uh the shock mod I would assume will fit the k669 C and Possibly other microphones I have so I Appreciate the accessories and the last Pro I have is the sensitivity it only Requiring a little bit of gain and Allowing this um2 audio interface this Cheap little audio interface to drive it At 9:00 that means you can drive the Microphone just fine without pushing the Preamps hard at all and thus reduce some Of the noise that you could have Introduced from preamps if you had to Crank her up although on the cons side Let's be honest the audio quality even Compared to the k669 C is terrible on This particular microphone now maybe Some people have gotten the Neer NW 800 That had the other internals in it and It sounds good to them but in my opinion This budded up next to any other Microphone that I own sounds awful could You use this microphone if you didn't Have anything else of course you could And especially if you don't have a Co-host that the a audio is compared to People may let you slide and whatever

Mic you own is always going to be the Best mic for the job because it's the One you have and it sounds better than a Phone call or or anything like that we Have to talk about the elephant in the Room and that's that little statement on Their own paperwork which would be the Lack of consistency in build so if they Don't know what the specs are how am I Supposed to know what the specs are you Know if they think it's going to change Or could change from my to mic and such That doesn't actually instill any Confidence another con is a test I Should have did earlier but I didn't and I'll do it Now if you're tapping on the boom arm The shock mount should be absorbing a Lot of that and it just does not seem to Do that it it uh has a cool little look To it but it doesn't seem to really have A lot of functionality had I not took This big divot out of the wind screen I Would have returned the entire set but I Wasn't going to return it after I ripped The wind screen so what I will do since I like the body of the microphone is I'm Going to keep it eventually order the 700 take the 700 internals if they're Correct and put them in here because I Like the look of this one better if you Feel differently chime in in the Comments down below if you haven't Subscribed to my free monthly gear
