Review: Sounds good for YouTube recording - Bought this for my Son for his YouTube channel Sounds good with great base and voice definition
Review: Good value for well-rounded dynamic mic - I've been wanting to get a good microphone for a while now to start testing my streaming capabilities. My dad is a complete audio fan so I'm particularly picky with these things. Overall though it does well. Pros: • Good value • Solid construction, premium feel • Easier to use due to not needing batteries/phantom power • Decent sound quality Cons: • The disadvantages of a dynamic mic – higher noise and a less wide frequency response Dynamic vs others ================ Firstly, it is important to note that this is a dynamic microphone. This is good as it doesn't need batteries or phantom power in order to power it, which means it will plug into the microphone input of a PC or other device without needing to worry about power. The disadvantage of this is that dynamic microphones are low output (because of the lack of power) - this means you will need to turn the microphone input dial up to a high level in order to receive an good signal from it. This means that it is likely to be more noisy/hissy because of the high gain on the input stage. If you were into serious audio, you'd know the difference. I compared this with one of my dad's slightly more expensive (phantom powered) condenser cardoid microphones. That mic had a much lower gain on the input stage to produce the same level of signal, so it was a little quieter, but not many people would notice this; the difference was subtle. Range ================ In terms of frequency range, dynamic mics also tend to have a less wide frequency response. This was also proved out in the test I did - the Boya had noticeably less low and top end in comparison and was a little less 'warm' and more 'middy'. This is illustrated in the frequency response diagram in the specs of the mic – there is a steep drop in response at the high and low ends. This difference here was more noticeable, and would probably be picked up by most people. This mic didn't sound 'bad' - it just had a little less 'sparkle' on the higher frequencies and less 'body' on the lower frequencies. Verdict ================ For the cost, it is certainly a capable microphone and feels solid and high quality in construction. It will likely take more abuse than a condenser would! If money is tight and you are unable to supply phantom power to a mic, then this is a perfectly decent microphone and should suffice for voice work. However, if you can stretch to it, and you have an audio interface that will supply phantom power, then you will find spending a little more to buy a condenser mic will give you a higher quality sound. It's about your budget and what you need it for.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great budget dynamic microphone
*by S***E on 3 August 2023*

Having only ever owned RØDE or Shure microphones before (but I have used cheaper brands from time to time when not using my own equipment, and I have also tested a couple of unknown brands too), I was keen to see what this Boya BY-DM500 Dynamic Microphone would be like to use. I do podcasting as part of my work, but I am also a hobbyist musician, and I have a basic recording studio set up at home. On arrival, the BY-DM500 comes in a nicely presented box and has plenty of protective foam to keep the mic safe when not in use. On taking it out, you just get the microphone and a basic instructions leaflet. There are no XLR leads or mounting tripods or boom arms, so you will need to take that into consideration when making the purchase. When taking it out of the box, you instantly get a feel of the quality, this is no lightweight plasticky microphone, it is predominately metal including the yoke mount, which is really solid and holds the microphone in the exact position you want it to be in. My XLR cable (purchased separately) fitted perfectly, and once set up, I was able to start using it straight away. I have used this BY-DM500 twice now, with a total of 160 minutes of unedited recording time. I have used it in my M-Audio M-Track Solo pre-amp and my MacBook Pro. I have a couple of minor criticisms that I will get out of the way first. One is that the foam windscreen could be a little bit better; whilst it does help keep the microphone clean, it did still let through the occasional plosive, but I am being really fussy with that point. As most windshields come in a standard size, you should be able to replace this one, and still get a decent mic setup at a reasonable cost. The second minor issue is that I found is that it can pick up on unwanted mouth sounds if you are a) not used to podcasting or b) (like me) you sometimes forget how close to the mic you are. However, it is easy to clean the audio if you have decent software. The thing that I love about this BY-DM500 is that the depth of sound is amazing for such a budget mic. It does give a good studio-quality sound to my voice, and I found it didn't pick up any background noise which is always an added bonus for home use where soundproofing may not be best. This really is a great microphone, and given that the current price is £75.00 (at the time of review), I can wholeheartedly recommend this to you.
