Don’t Judge the Sound of a Microphone While You’re Speaking Into It

It’s impossible to hear the sound accurately WHILE you’re speaking into a mic, because in addition to hearing the mic audio coming through your headphones into your ears, the sound of your voice traveling from your throat, through your skull and vibrating your eardrums from the inside MASSIVELY skews what you’re hearing through the mic.Show more

So I don’t recommend evaluating the sound of a mic by speaking into it.

And this is why we offered the microphone test drive booth years ago. We allowed people to speak in to 8-10 microphones, but we would record them and send them the audio later when they could LISTEN to their own voice but NOT while they are actually speaking.
