Even though today is primarily about the Insta360 Flow, I also have to explain in detail why I now bitterly regret buying the DJI Osmo Mobile 6 and have found a much better alternative for my purpose. I bought the DJI gimbal for Computex last year and cursed it the day after I bought the microphone. Along with all the influencing YouTubers, none [...]
Today’s test of the two BOYA dual channel wireless lavalier microphones BY XM6 S6 (USB-C) and BY XM6 S4/K4 (Lightning) has a very personal background and even a longer history. I will now briefly introduce this, as it is also a longer practical test. The only difference between the K4 and the S4 is the additional charging cradle [...]
I’m writing today’s editorial because I was annoyed yesterday by an email whose impertinence is hard to top. It’s not about the manufacturer and their products, which are probably okay. It’s about the way this company, through its PR department, insults media and testers. You might think that the modern work world already [...]
The MXL AC-404 USB microphone tested by me today is a high-quality condenser boundary microphone, which is equipped with three capsules and offers a recording range of 180 °. I bought the good piece for 77 euros in a well-stocked specialty store, because with certain things I trust, for example, Thomann and the reviews left there by professionals [...]
Probably most gamers know the following situation: A buddy has treated himself to an expensive gaming headset, enters the Discord server with a proud chest and starts raving. How do you explain to him now that his expensive new purchase sounds at most like a tin can and that he could have bought a superior combination of microphone and headphones [...]
Many people are skeptical about Kickstarter projects. But you can certainly have good ideas, even if you don’t yet have a reputation and lack start-up capital. Maono translates as “vision” and the young company has set the ambitious goal of gaining a foothold in the competitive hi-fi market with high-quality products. After a few [...]
With the new WAVE DX, streaming equipment supplier ELGATO enters the world of XLR microphones and aims to gain a foothold in the professional audio equipment market.

The latest USB podcast microphone from Blue is called Yeti X and is a 4-condenser microphone, which is currently available in the standard version for around 135 euros from various retailers. The biggest innovation with this microphone is that it can be customized using Logitech’s G-Hub software. This has never been possible with any Blue [...]
With the Speedlink Volity Ready, Speedlink wants to bring a USB microphone with swivel arm mount and various accessories to the podcasters or streamers of the world, so that their voices are also heard accordingly. So far so good. But how does this set for an EIA of 130 euros and a street price of 111 euros still compare against a 79 Euro podcast [...]
Unfortunately, we have to point out that we had to withdraw the award for the headset in the meantime, because quality problems occurred in the long-term test, which are not acceptable in this price range. We apologise to our readers, but we are unable to fully uncover such shortcomings in the short time available for such tests.
The Sharkoon B1 is now already open for less than 40 euros. And if you follow Sharkoon's philosophy that can't break, which isn't even in the first place and that all of this is packed (also visually) acceptable, then you can be curious. It should be clear now that you can't expect an acoustic or technical flyer for this price, but [...]
For currently just under 100 Euro (Saturn on offer from approx. 86 Euro) Roccat offers with the Khan Aimo the new edition or reinterpretation of the Khan Pro and wants to score with RGB and an active USB sound card. But this is exactly a point where it is worth taking a closer look and listening, as well as completely disassing the story. In order [...]
The fact that I prefer to play with my good stereo headphones has now certainly been talked about. That I used a good stand microphone for communication so far, perhaps less. Unfortunately, nomen est omen applies, because it stands on the desktop and thus automatically also usually grandiosely in the way. With the Yeticaster, a bundle from the [...]
