5 Best Microphones for YouTube 2020




so when you're making videos obviously
the most important thing is the concept
and the content behind it so if you
don't have good content your videos
won't do well but if you do have good
content the next most important thing
according to a lot of creators is to
have high quality audio so people tend
to put up with lower quality video if
the audio is high quality so what I mean
by that is if you're shooting 1080p and
not 4k but your audio is really good
people will definitely still watch it
and you won't have any drawbacks but if
you're shooting 4k and your audio sounds
like you're in a cave people are not
gonna watch your videos they're not
going to like and engage nearly as much
as they would if you had high quality
audio so in this video I'll be talking
about five microphones that are for
youtubers and essentially I picked one
microphone from each category that I
think is the best and there are five
categories that will sort of encompass
any type of channel you make and so I
really want to describe what each
category is and I also want to describe
which microphone is best for you to help
you decide before you go out and buy one
because unfortunately the way it works
is when you're getting started you're
buying microphones you tend to have to
buy a bunch and then you use them then
you realize they're not so great but
then by then it might be too late to
return it or just such a hassle to
return it so that's why I just want to
recommend five of my favorite
microphones that I use in my videos all
the time so before we get too far into
this if you are new here and you are
looking to grow your online influence
start your growth now by clicking the
subscribe button down below
also click the bell icon so you don't
miss the latest videos so starting off
with number one in really no particular
order this is the blue Yeti what I'm
using right now this one cost about $120
so the most expensive one on this list
but it definitely has the features to
earn that extra value when you're buying
it so it has knobs in the front and the
back you can control the gain on this
right onboard on the microphone you can
also plug in headphones on the bottom so
you plug in a USB which is the power
supply and the recording so you'll be
recording on a computer so you are
tethered to a laptop or a desktop that
is one minor drawback to this you can't
have this you know going totally mobile
anywhere else you're gonna be tethered
but if you are in a studio this is a
great microphone so you see this
anywhere on you know because you have a
boom mount on the bottom people use this
on a boom a lot of times you see this on
podcast because you have the different
settings so you actually have three
little capsules inside in different
directions
so for that reason you can actually have
these four different settings on the
back on that little knob right there and
that can control how it's going to sound
in different settings based on where the
microphone is and what you're trying to
do so you'll see this like I said you're
gonna see this on podcast a lot a lot of
people actually you know a testimony for
this is that people that do like the
ASMR type stuff the people that are you
know like the videos were people like
whisper on their microphones you know
yeah I don't know if you've seen those
but they use microphones like this so
that's just to give you an idea of you
know what kind of people use this it's
obviously a very high quality microphone
and for that reason this is one that I
recommend to anybody who is in a
stationary studio or trying to make a
podcast and wants very high quality
audio this is probably the best you're
gonna get for your money alright now the
next microphone you can use is this one
right here which is the zoom h1 and this
is actually more than just a microphone
as well because this little thing you
can actually use as a recording units
for a lot of different situations so
basically anytime you could use the blue
Yeti you could also use this one but
this microphone is also great for
traveling around and using just as you
can see here it's battery-powered so
I'll just take this off and show you
right now you can also use this
microphone to walk around and interview
people so you can plug in headphones
like I have right now when you're in a
studio or you can unplug them go out in
public and walk around it has a battery
inside of it and you plug in your own SD
card so it's totally mobile you're not
tethered to anything so that's why this
is really really good you can change a
lot of settings on here you can see what
your audio levels are it's totally
mobile you're not bound to a computer
for that reason I would say that this
microphone might be the best one that
everybody has to get even if it's not
their primary microphone it's one that
every channel should have so you can go
around you can interview people or you
can use it in your studio or a social
you in one second you can also plug in
other microphones into this and just
record directly on this using like a lav
mic that brings us to number three which
is the lavell ear microphone or the lav
mic now these are great for anytime
you're walking around or you just want a
small microphone that's hidden you don't
want something in front of you or maybe
you're just really far away from the
camera and you aren't near like a laptop
for example so that's why you might want
to use a lav mic this is what I
typically use in almost all of my videos
just because it's the easiest it's very
small relatively discreet obviously
right now I have a green shirt on so
it's super
obvious but usually I wear like a
button-down or it may be like a Henley
or something that you can kind of hide
it in the buttons and so when you're
doing that lav mics are extremely small
and discreet they're also very cheap so
this one was twenty or twenty five
dollars Nate's is actually a Sony which
is also twenty to twenty five dollars
the reason I prefer this one though is
because this one actually has an adapter
on it that you can plug into either a
recording unit which most already plug
into or you can plug into a smartphone
which is great when you're just getting
started off so you don't need to buy a
recording unit now I will say some of
them come with an extension cable and
you can plug into your camera and record
directly on your camera through a lav
mic although I found the best audio
quality tends to be when you record
through the zoom h1 which is again why I
said everybody should get the h1 I think
it's really just a great Universal
recorder and microphone that any channel
could use in any situation and it sounds
good when you're using a lav mic or it
sounds good when you're using it as a
standalone microphone okay so next
number four we have an onboard phone
microphone and this is one that
hopefully everyone already has if you
have a phone you probably already have a
camera on it and you probably also have
a microphone and so when you're starting
off on youtube if you want a really
cheap way to start off a phone
microphone might be a decent enough
camera and microphone set up for you
where you know it sounds okay because
you're so close to it that you don't
have to worry about you know you know
I'm syncing the audio or buying anything
else any other equipment at least for
your first couple videos if you're
vlogging like this it can be a decent
enough microphone so next we have the
rode videomic which is a shotgun mic it
mounts on top of your camera and it
records directly into your camera so
it's great because your video files all
have the audio right onboard you don't
have to sync them up you don't the clap
in the beginning of a video you don't
worry about any of that because it's
already synced up and it's almost you
know entirely hands-free they're really
really easy to use they have you know
decent audio quality although sometimes
if you are farther away they do tend to
capture a lot of ambient sounds which
could be a good or a bad thing depending
on where you are and what you're trying
to do but this is the classic microphone
for any kind of video where people are
walking around a lot or any kind of
video where you're doing a vlog or a lot
of people even use these just in a
studio setup just like this okay guys so
if you are on a budget and you have a
studio set up you're probably going to
want to use either
I have my connected to your phone maybe
just your phone microphone or maybe a
shotgun microphone this one's about $80
but there's also some like this one
which are about $30 I recommend getting
the $80 one the rode microphone I'll
link it down below is a great microphone
now if you have a slightly better studio
I would recommend getting either the
blue Yeti or the zoom everyone should
have the zoom in my opinion no matter
what type of video you are making now if
you're walking around a lot but the
cameras staying still you could use
either a shotgun microphone or a lav mic
obviously the blue Yeti wouldn't be good
if you're walking around because it's
pretty much stationary the whole time
next if you're really really really far
away from your camera you're going to
want to use a lav mic like I said
they're pretty universal and they're
fairly cheap so if you're doing
interviews it's great to have everyone
have their own lav mic that way you
don't have anyone louder or quieter in
the video and you can also adjust all
the volumes later and then lastly of
course if you are absolutely on a budget
or you just want the easiest most
hands-free thing ever just use a phone
but make sure you have a decent
smartphone right here is the Galaxy S 10
which granted is more expensive but the
audio quality seems to be fairly decent
alright guys so that's all I have for
you in this video comment down below
which of these microphones you would
like to use for your channel and why you
want to use them let me know what kind
of channel you have and any questions
you might have associated with
microphones like I said Nate and I have
been using lots of microphones if you're
looking to buy one odds are we probably
already bought it and probably already
tried it so let me know in the comments
down below thanks for watching guys I'll
see you next time
