Microphone Audio Quality Comparison - Cheap Vs Expensive

[Reize]

So I've always used cheap mics sourced from China that go for like $2 a pop, and recently one of my subscribers got in touch with me and lent me his 20 GBP Drift-S branded mic for comparison.

So I did a little video for you guys below, for you to decide whether paying premium for a branded mic was worth it or not.

Personally, while I did like the fact that the branded mic felt like it had better build quality, I preferred my cheap china mic in terms of audio.

I use the drift one in front of helmet for voice as its noise cancelling built in. Then a cheap one on the rear for the vroom vroom!
