I need your help! This was originally  supposed to be a quick test that I was recording for myself, but as time went on, my mind got a bit boggled with options.

Thank you to Kane Treble for time stamping the different comparisons if you want to jump back and forth:

25:00 Conclusions

After working on several videos, I've come to feel that the Blue Sona and Earthworks ETHOS are my best sounding microphones (at least for my voice in this specific environment). But I haven't compared them to everything, so that's where the Ul-TOM-ate Mic Showdown™ comes in.

This is a comparison of any and all microphones in my collection that I think might compare to the ETHOS and the Sona. Hopefully it's fun to listen to, and I'd definitely love to hear your thoughts!
