I just saw this microphone on a local store. It does not state its brand anywhere on the box (just a plain white box) and the user manual only shows some of the specifications and other crap. According to the store manager, the microphones come in 2 models, model A and model B, and they have given me the chance to actually check both models out. Sound and build quality is pretty good from both models but my question is, which one is better?

 

I'm going to use this microphone for audio recordings and podcasts and other stuff.

 

Here are the specifications for both the microphone models: (From the user manual included)

The microphone looks like this:

Has a Ph.D in Nothing and does not speak Chinese, Italian or French. (aber ich kann Deutsch sprechen)

Is it going to be just you recording or are there going to be multiple people? Also what price was it? From your description it sound kinda shady

 

It's only going to be me. It's only $20 (discounted price from $60, they're currently on a sale)

I would go for the uni then, but you should also check the price for the blue snowball in your country

The Blue Snowball is weirdly expensive here. Around $60-70 dollars.

Well those other crap, as you refer to them, are nice information to know.  They give you an idea of how the mic can perform and what uses it can have.
