Never had a tlm 102 before but it sounds amazing and seems authentic? I did ask the seller for proof of purchase and sent me this.

I was gonna go with the COMPANY THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED brand, then looked over and saw a specific rule here in place due to how badly they seem to be made. I bought the Stealth 700 (Gen 3) Turtle Beach headset in July and it is genuinely awful. Not only is it incredibly buggy in ways I've never seen in any headset, but the mic is HORRIBLE quality for some reason no matter what I do and it randomly decided to just stop. I mean full stop. Turned it on the other week and it literally just isn't recognized by the my computer at all, doesn't show up anywhere. I've been forced to use an actual face cam mic the last two weeks and you can imagine how thats been going.

Due to how much I already dropped on this headset (not refundable) I really dont have a ton extra to throw around right now, but really need the best I can afford. Preferably something not too expensive that can pick up my voice at best quality. I mostly talk to friends and run DnD games over discord, so any suggestions in that wheel house would be so helpful.

I went to a studio to record i am a live sound engineer the studio owner said its authentic but i prefer my s.58 sound i might be wrong but my ear says it fake first time working with one

I was thinking that I could use a microphone used to detect bird sounds to detect jets that fly by before they could be seen but I know nothing about microphones.

I just bought a new electro voice re20 from sweetwater with a cloud lifter and I noticed that the audio is always slightly distorted, when the gain is just right for my speaking voice the mic gets a little distorted, and when you turn the volume on max when listening back you can really hear the distortion, I compared to other people who use the electro voice re20 and there’s a difference so I know I’m not crazy, but it always sounds a little muffled and it yeah it sounds a little distorted I just wanna know how to fix this :( it’s really frustrating (I don’t sing btw I only do voiceovers)
