BOYA BY-DM500 Reviews

Great mic punching above it's weight

By Ellen
Rated 5 out of 5

This is a great mic. Not just for the price. Balanced clean, clear sound, great solid metal build. Great look. It's got a vibe!! Two issues, the plosives; (talk off axis and you'll be set) and the plastic adjusters really should have been metal. Mine is staying on the boom arm. Replacing my sm7b. On my voice, this sounds better. Can't believe it. Oh and a bit of compression and eq and it really shines. Love it. Great job Boya.
