I can understand why professionals consider these multifunctional mics to be expensive and unnecessary, when they already have a mixer and post production tools. For those of us who don't have a mixer, who want a mic that will work with both XLR and USB, this fits a clear niche. After looking at the price of the MV7, I really wanted to like this microphone. But the sound without the EQ is harsh and thin, very hard to listen to.

Great video, Tom! My two cents: If you want to save $, get the previous podmic and find the windscreen from the new one separately (save $70). For the same cost ($130), the Sennheiser Profile gives you way better sound quality and manual controls IMO. However, I do think the NT USB+ is hands down the best mic for the money currently, if you're willing to control it through software.

I wish the price was more competitive. Hard to know what the right price should be though. I am a Sennheiser profile owner and I am very happy with it.

I commented about it under one of your videos around a year ago, but this seems a fitting moment to do it again: FDUCE SL-40. Same functionality as PodMic USB at a *third* of the price ($60 on Amazon when i'm commenting). Solid metal build, looks great, no software. USB-C, 3.5mm and XLR out. Decent sound (to my ear). It's worth getting for a budget mic comparison. When comparable mics are 200-250 dollars it's odd not to hear it mentioned more.
@CARfariPark

I recently mentioned the SL-40 on one of Tom's livestreams. I bought 2 XLR versions just so I could have some inexpensive reasonable sounding mics for some client podcasts. Now that may sound counterintuitive but I wanted to be able to have some well made, lightweight gear that could be chucked in a bag, and carried on trains & planes, without risking damaging my SM7Bs or Procasters. Having recorded 4 casts using the SL40s, I love how they sound, with a bit of EQ via my Rodecaster they really punch above their weight, HOWEVER.... the biggest flaws in the SL-40 are now apparent after many hours of use.... handling noise is awful, they pick up everything - footsteps, desk noise, buttons on jackets - far too much! Secondly, the cardioid rejection is very unpredictable. They behave like a heavy noise gate has been applied. Sometimes they pick up cleanly, then on other occasions they simply fade out the vocal, it's not a fault as I have 2 mics and they both behave in the same way. All said and done, for a solo gig or personal hobby, the budget SL-40s are hard to beat, but the 'professional' qualities seen in mics like the SM7B or Procaster are worth the money, in the time saved in post-production.

5:08 I suppose It's because of very limited frequency graph of PodMic. Although PodMic's description says it supports up to 20 kHz, actually it supports ~13-14 kHz. Fun thing if you listen to Shure Super 55 then, I think you will dislike it too and will come to same conclusion (17 kHz according its passport, but according to actual graph it has about 11.5-13 kHz, thin low mid and harsh upper mids).

Being semi-retired, I just watch for fun. I had the original but the Procaster is yes more expensive but a much better mic. As a Consultant I have a case with 5 mic's so far one has always been the right one for the talent (The Pod-Mic isn't in the case) It has a purpose it a reasonably good intro mic. If your getting into Podcasting, pick up two with the Rodecaster and your set. Being old I only have one USB Mic for last minutes voiceover/correction (Opt-Cmd-8 in FinalCut) that would happen in editing (It the Earthworks Icon mini). I see the benefit of a combo Mic but you only need one. What Rode is doing is with it virual rodecaster and the USB mic may fit the kids today but I need physical knobs and sliders!

Tom, love the channel and watch all of your videos... I am going to be a bit critical on this on as I think you missed the mark on the most important part of this comparison. The new addition to this mic was its usb capabilities... but you recorded everything from this new mic in XLR and then compared it to other mics and switched between xlr and usb depending on which mic it was. So we actually have no reference to how this mic sounds using USB. The other funny part is that you run it through the rode caster... the majority of people who buy a USB mic (myself included) choose that over XLR to simplify their set up. They run it directly into their computer instead of using a peripheral... Once again you did not demonstrate that with this mic or how it would sound. So in reality you just compared the original XLR podmic to a bunch of other mics. So now I walk away from this video not actually knowing anything about the usb capabilities of this mic, which is the entire reason it costs $100 more than the original podmic.

ill be honest the rodecaster duo processing is pretty bad in my opinion. i had it for a little while and ended up returning it. it somehow made my ElectroVoice RE20 sound awful. very thin and tinny sound which we all know is the opposite of what an RE20 does. and a very weak 3 band eq (in my opinion not nearly enough for vocals) which could not fix it. Went back to the GoXLR and it sounds great again. i just mentioned it because when you did the Shure Preset it sounded terrible. Rode stuff is so cool except for the sound. which is the most important thing. Really appreciate all your helpful videos though! You do a great job at comparing what's important!
