I compared a $20 DIY Shure SM7B to a $170 Shure SM7B I got from Alibaba and the $400 Shure SM7B bought in America.
In this video I do some sound testing and of course share my thoughts if it is still worth paying $400 for the Shure SM7B. The $170 also triggers some curiosity if it is actually real of fake... why is it so cheap ?
The DIY project was inspired by https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMmA0XxraDP7ZVbv4eY3Omg check out his original project video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdt8GCBKEHk
