I personally like the warmer sound on the Sennheiser, it'll go very well with singers who have big voices and bright timbres.
holyyyyyyyyyyyy what a great review! it's so crazy to see how far along you've come. 40K is so close i can almost taste it !

Hi Edward, nice video, thanks. Just one question because I saw already your video comparing the PGA27, SM27, BETA27 and KSM32 from Shure. To which one of them would you compare the MK8? Would it beat all? just in terms of sound quality, sensitivity, warmness for singing and acoustic guitar. Thank you so much in advance. Regards from Peru.
Hello Edward, nice video man. Love it! Tell me, do you recommend the MK8 for livestream?
I personally would go for the Neumann all the way. It sounds very clear and I like the typical Neumann top end sparkle
Excellent content bro...you've helped me to make my decision.. i'm parting ways with my senn for the TLM or possibly a Stam SA87..Have you heard this mic?....wish i could keep all though...keep up the great work!!

If you don't mind me asking why do you have two sets of Yamaha speakers it looks like you got the bigger size speakers but then it looks like you also have a smaller set just curious of to why are they just separate speakers so you can listen to or they connected all four

I have the MK4 and man I love the audio it just makes me want to upgrade to an actual Neumann TLM 102 microphone now if it weren’t for me getting the MK4 I wouldn’t never notice any difference from all the other mics ! The MK4 is for sure a beginners in audio files to get use to hearing sound qualities , the MK8 I find sounds better in your voice than the Neumann :)
Hello, thank you Edward for the informative and useful comparison. I am a voice over artist, and I am actually confused between Neumann TLM 102 and Sennheiser MK4, and do not know which to choose, and whether there are cons I need to know when deciding. I want to upgrade my recording equip to a large diaphram mic.. Can you help me?

The Sennheiser MK4 is good, but the Neumann is in another class to be honest! If you're looking to buy the Neumann, please use the link in the description. You will really be helping out my channel if you do! Thanks!!

I want to do voice over. I want to record my poetry & Singing professionally. In which I get high quality. But in my poetry some lines will go in high tone and some lines will go in emotional low tone. Suggest me a good mic, headphone and audio interface.
Planning to buy soon.

I really wishing , I can have sa microphones like that...
The 102 not only has far more clarity, but is creamier. The sound is more glued... Some folks need to remember that using an EQ in post can fix certain aspects of a mic you may not like. Having said that, you can't enhance cream on a mic, nor clarity. The 102 is easily the winner here as far as pure sound.
Hi Smith, i love all that you do. Could you review Behringer mic B2 pro and TLM 102. I don't know why people are not talking about Behringer B2 Pro! Thanks man.
Which is bester?
Its not my dream mic but if i have choices between the two, i'll choose the neumann tlm 102, but my dream mic is the neumann u87 ai. Road to 100k subs! i hope you dont forget me when you get 100K + hahahha we love u, Ed! edit: woah, u used the beast headphones here huh hahahaha
Wonderful voice. A great gift from God above.
Forget about doing reviews homie. You need to be signed to a major Label like Warner or Universal Music Group! Awesome video.

thats a different in the high ends but for the prices difference you put the high ends with an eq and the MK8 is close
MK8 is better for me. But the TLM 102 is nice too.
I like the Sennheisser for this song, but it sounds like the TLM102 would work better for other kinds of songs. The TLM 102 sounds much more natural by far. if it was A Capella, the TLM 102 hands-down

For me..the MK8 sounds identical to the Mk4 in the cardioid pattern.. This'll place it above the NT1A. I have them both... The senn in my ear seems both smoother and warmer..it was just easier to listen to. IMO the only step up from the MK4/8 is the tlm 102/103....So for $300 of MIC alone in comparison to the rode kit for 229...i would choose the mk4 first.
I prefer the frequency response graph of the Sennheiser. My ears prefer the Neumann.

Dude I buy the Neumann TLM 102 & it is so harsh on my vocals. I have a cheaper hand held Sennheiser microphone and its way smoother and sound better. I guess it depends on the preamp you use the tlm 102 with.

Tlm 102 won hands down. Already sounds polished. Less work needed in post. MK 8 was a bit to dark for my liking. Tlm 102 sounds so smooth and record/ radio ready
the Neumann would cut through the mix better
