Summary: I often get asked about microphones, specifically what's the best one to use. The problem with "best" is that it's always subjective. Plus, with microphones, people can get a bit crazy arguing technical stuff. So to make it simple I recorded a video using 3 different styles of microphones. Listen for yourself. Which one sounds the best to you? Equipment Used For This Video Canon XA10 Rode VideoMic Sennheiswer EW100
