I'm aware that the audio isn't clean. That's the point.

All too often people buy microphones expecting them to sound the way they did in a review they watched on YouTube. There are many things that could lead people to believe that a particular mic would be best for them but when they listen to it, they suddenly find it isn't ideal. Reasons for this could range from the tonal or pitch of the voice to the acoustic treatment in the room you're using the microphone in.

Not all microphones are equal. Some are best for fidelity while others are forgotten because they move with your head but which is best for using in an untreated room?

In this video I'm comparing 10 different kinds of microphones ranging from my camera mic to a lav mic to a long shotgun mic. We'll get down to the bottom of this one!
