    Boya BYM1 vs Boya BYM1 Pro Which Sounds Better?
    Is the updated Boya BYM1 Pro a worthy upgrade from the legendary BYM1? It now has a few extra features and improvements including monitoring and a -10db cut to reduce background noise.
    But does it actually sound good? Let me know what you think of it after watching to the very end.

    I have several really expensive lav mics, but the one I use all the time is the Boya. It works with everything, sounds good with my voice, and when the Saigon environment kills it, it's cheap to replace.

    The pull tab for the battery is a nice touch, can only imagine the damage the damage of getting the battery out with a screwdriver ! I cant actually tell any difference but that might be because of the headset that Im using might not be sensitive enough to pick up any difference.

    Thank you for the video! I have used the classic model for a year, mostly outdoors. Happy with the long cord. Now however, I connected it to my PC laptop to make a Screen recording with Game bar (built in to windows 10) and suddenly the sound is extremely bad. I don´t know if it is the mic that is broken, or if the computer makes it bad, or if the Game bar program. Do you have any thoughts?

    The Boya BYM1 Pro sounds slightly sharper/crisper than the Boya BYM1. My personal preference with your voice is the Boya BYM1 Pro, but to tell you the truth they both sound absolutely fabulous for the price.
    Anyway, thanks to this great comparison review video I have just purchased the Boya BYM1 Pro.

      Fair enough! there is a lot of value in either one, and I just bought another BYM1 as mine got killed by the wheels on my chair and ripped out the switch box, and the new version seems a little more like the pro now so there is even less between them, although the non pro to me still sounds more open

    Thanks for the review, I have the BYM1 and will stick with it, I much prefer the sound of it compared against the Pro model. The BYM1 does pop a bit on the F and S words which can be countered by reducing the gain. The BYM1 sounds like it has more body and range, the BYM1 Pro sounds a bit thin and compressed to me.

      I swap between the two but I have used the bym1 for about 4 years now and still maintain is was the best investment I made in the channel and for the £15 it cost and we have made around 1000 videos the cost per video is pretty good. And it still sounds as good today as it did when I got it

    Vast difference between the two! M1 has a big high end roll off but is better at -10. The pro is more present but with a lot less low end, It does however leave mid range a little exposed. Bur for less than 20 quid they are pretty good.

    Great review, great video. I live in a very hot place, so there's always a fan near (about 1 m from me). Thus, even if I only need it for live streams on laptop from my room, I've been searching for a good cost-benefit PS2 lavelier mic to reduce all that noise, since it seems the most adequate kind of mic to use in that situation and I don't have much money. The 6 m cable attracted me because of mobility, but the fact that it needs batteries is really annoying... I'm confused about why it would need that. Changing batteries sounds problematic and costy in the long run (pandemics is still strong where I live). Now I don't know if Boya BYM1 is the right mic for me... maybe is there any other recommendation?

    • @mikesunboxing
      @mikesunboxing  Před 3 lety +1

      the battery is only used when switched over i think? the batter on mine lasted for about 3 years - up to the point i snapped the cable. and i left the mic on overnight numerous times.
      depending on your streaming setup maybe take a look at the noise cancelling in software like nvidia studio and many others

    I’m listening here on an iPad Pro with Audio-Technica ATH-M50 cans. Although they’re both clearly picking up the sound of the PC fans in the background, the noise floor is really very good for both mics IMHO. But if I were to choose, the clear winner would be the BYM1 Pro simply because of the extended upper frequency response. If you wanted this mic to sound like the original, just rolling off the top end and boosting bass frequencies would give a similar sound. Of course this would be impossible doing this the other way around, as you’d simply end up boosting the noise floor which is what you want to avoid.

      @@mikesunboxing After watching your review, as well as a couple of others, I went and ordered one today. £20 is a 'no-brainer' as they say! Worth having a look at the Behringer B-5 mic (another cheapie for a mic of its kind) as well as this essentially is an overhead drum mic, but can be also used as an overhead vlogging mic as the cardioid pattern cuts out wall reflections from behind, so you don't need to acoustically treat your room as much. It does however need 48v powering. A bargain nevertheless.

    To me the none pro sounds better actually, the pro seems to have a slight base to it. Allough not to much of a difference tbh. Although they both very similar. didnt like it at all at -10 even boosted I didnt really like.
    Thats just me persobally
    good overview

    • @mikesunboxing
      @mikesunboxing  Před 3 lety +3

      yeah i think i agree with your points there. the non pro seems to have a deeper tone to it but it does also pick up more "noise"
      and the -10db is probably good in a louder place, but when i added gain to normalise is the sound wasn't very good at all. But that is probably we using it out of context really.

    • @welshtony1
      @welshtony1 Před 3 lety +2

      For 4 quid extra might aswell buy it.

  • @MyVanitar
    @MyVanitar Před 3 lety +4

    In my opinion, Pro is better. In the non-pro one, the sound seems to be mixed with something like "vvv.." or 50Hz hum noise, hard to tell by words. I think the Pro one has a different circuit and filtering, so the difference is not just adding a -10dB switch ... etc. To replicate the experiment, you should use a brand hands-free and listen to your voice, do not use a speaker. I used my original Samsung cellphone's hands-free. if I had time, I will examine your voice on the oscilloscope and FFT function to check the spectrum and bandwidth. My conclusion is that the sound from the Pro one is more clear. You can try.

    I do hope you are still responding - after ordering the Pro for my female voice and the standard for a male friend I have just seen a video which states you cannot use the standard for zoom on a laptop as it reads as a headset not a mic - is this correct? It would mean a separate Bluetooth speaker would be required to hear the others in the meeting. Please reply - I trust you much more, your video is insightful and professional. Thank You 🙃

    • @mikesunboxing
      @mikesunboxing  Před 2 lety

      if you have the mic in the powered or camera mode rather than the off or mobile mode it should detect it as a standard TRS pole device (as in a single device) when the mic is in the off mode or phone mode it becomes TRRS mode (which combines mic and headphones top make a headset type setup) so that will make a difference and also if the device you are plugging into has a combo port (TRRS) then it might incorrectly recognise the mic if not setup properly BEFORE plugging it in.
      IF this happens then yes an external speaker device like a bluetooth speaker might be a good solution to overcome this.
      hope this helps?
