How does this compare with the Pyle PSMRS11 Acoustic Isolation Microphone Absorber Shield and the CAD Audio AS32 Acousti-Shield 32?

Size is everything with these things because the foam is going to be pretty much the same but look and compare of course ... Just write down the specs and measurements of them all , print a picture of each one, then compare shop..... For the money , this one was best for me.... Let the 20,000 an hour studios buy those ridiculously priced totally sound proof gold plated silver covered 100 percent perfect isolation foam booth thingys.... This one is damn fine for everything else....

You will definitely need to use your pop filter to stop poping "p" and breath noises. The isolation shield lowers room reverberation that normally comes to the back and sides of your microphone from walls and low ceilings that can cause it sound thin in a room that is not acoustically treated. Think of it as a mini vocal booth. It doesn't kill it totally bouncing reflections but reduces it greatly giving you a tighter clearer sound out of your microphone. A lot will depend on the microphone you are using. I currently have two shields that I use one a pair of Rode NT-1 mics mostly for vocals. The shield works on the sides and rear of the microphone and has little effect on the front of the microphone so you still need to make sure nothing is bouncing off walls directly behind you. I think this shield does a great job.

When I sent in my px100 original for RMA at Sennheiser USA (Old Lyme, CT I think), one of the higher reps told me there's no difference except the -II looks better and is supposedly more durable. I sold the PX100-II's right after I recieved them and I miss them alot, as stupid as it sounds. Oh well, I'm using the Grado SR325's now!

I found no other differences between the two. As a matter of fact, I purchased one of each mic and I can not tell the difference between them.

I have the shure e2cs and they were great at isolation but they were very uncomfortable to wear for long periods, and difficult to get seated correctly. I also have V-moda vibe ii and they are the best i've used. Their bass is far superior to the e2cs but its not overpowering either. I would go for them. However i paid $60 (on amazon) for the shures and $120 for the vmodas.

The microphone is pretty good. Not as good as a regular headset, but it's worth it to feel safe from EMF.

Yes, this meets OSHA standards. The big advantage is for burst noise. When noise is low, the amplifiers negate the damping of the muffs. They can even enhance hearing. Think hearing aide. But during a blast, they turn off electronics and are quiet. As I recal, about 26 db of noise reduction. Peltor has other models without electronics for areas of continuous noise which are cheaper. I saw a version with electronics at Lowes for $59. I really like these.

The best microphone I've used with Dragon is the Sennheiser ME3 (or ME-3). This headset has amazing noise cancellation capabilities, and is fairly comfortable when worn for a long time (you really need good noise cancellation to avoid confusing Dragon). The only issue is that the ME-3 is rather pricey -- about $135 on Amazon. A good alternative to the ME-3 is the Radio Shack 33-3012 "Headset Microphone with Gooseneck Boom", which is less than $25 but performs nearly as well as the Sennheiser (this microphone is a virtual clone of the Sennheiser). In fact, I routinely use my Radio Shack and leave my expensive Sennheiser in the box the 33-3012 came in! The Radio Shack microphone includes a long cord extension with an on/off switch, something that is missing from the Sennheiser. Any microphone is going to work best with a "USB sound pod" device. A sound pod is an "active" device that accepts the 1/8" male plug on most headset style microphones and plugs into any USB port on your computer. It works as an amplifier (I guess) and provides a much, much better signal than any consumer-quality microphone. I use a VXI "Translator" pod I got from emicrophones.com, but the Andrea units are also reputed to be good. Plan to spend about $40 to $60 for a pod, but it makes a world of difference in the quality of Dragon Naturally Speaking dictation. (Without a pod, you're relying on your computer's sound card to provide amplification. Generally speaking, sound cards in most desktops and laptops are very poor at handling microphone input, and are much better at playing music and game sounds.) BTW: Microphone positioning is everything when it comes to speech recognition. The mouthpiece must be moved away from your mouth -- I position it about 2 to 3 inches to the right of my mouth to avoid breath sounds and noises that confuse Dragon.

Well, they are pretty close spec wise, I can't speak to how they sound in comparison but the audiopipe are 750 RMS 1500 peak, theses are 1200 RMS 2400 peak, these are 95db efficiency where audiopipe is 92db these have a 3" voice coil where the others are 2.5" (which IIRC means it would be capable of slightly more excursion).

The Pyle here works great, especially for surround sound. Very good price and I've had no issues in the past year+ that I've had mine.

Main technical differences are low end (53 vs 60 for the MB42-C), impedence (8 vs 4), size (over an inch taller) and shielding (have vs have not). The Micca MB42X-C is shielded for $40 more. Against that, I'd take the CS10 any day. If your main speakers (or your sub-woofer) cover the bass, and you don't care about shielding, the Micca might be an OK tradeoff if money is tight. All I can say is I haven't been disappointed with my CS10. But note I would've gotten a CS2 but it didn't fit my cabinet (only $25 more).

the v2 is very exposed and it had 2 heat sinks compared to v1 has 4, so it will be hotter and the plexy will warp over time, aluminum can handle the heat and it protects all the components, will it sound the same, i would think so, its the same stuff just compacted, it matters in the headset you connect, my dt770 are 80ohms and thats a lot of draw power, while small headsets with 20ohms would draw less and cause less heat

I have a pretty loud air-purifier and computer as well, and the AT2020 does a good job of not picking up those ambient noises quite well! Most of my recordings are whisper quiet in the background. Hope this helps!

Dear:Bluedio 66i has double mic noise cancelling.It can weak the noise efficiency.Hope this helpBest regards Bluedio team

I have not used the 112's, but if you are gonna be using the mics daily, this is the one to get. It is very robust, and the syncing and sound quality make these worth every penny. I have used cheaper ones from shure and ev and these are much better.

Better Mic-Pre, 192kHz, SDXC, Longer battery life (not useful to me, I always use AC adapter)

I have used both types of mics on mine with no problem. Love my Pyle pro set up!
