Sony Playstation Classic Dollar General

Classic mics for good general-case instrument coverage

My Sony Bravia is the best, and my PlayStation. The best gaming system with best television how can you go wrong.

I've used the SM7B and the Electrovoice RE20 for voice and broadcast work. Those microphones have a strong characteristic rendition of voices -- coloration, if you will -- and, as dynamic microphones, good ambient noise rejection. The Ethos goes above and beyond the capabilities of both of those classic microphones for my use. Though it is a condenser mic, noise rejection is good enough that I can record interviews directly into a Zoom H6 in a reasonably quiet room -- similar to what I can do with a classic dynamic mic, but without the need for additional power. (If you have significant ambient noise, like a loud air conditioner, neither type of microphone will save your audio capture.) Sound quality is where this microphone really sets itself apart. It's like having a good studio condenser mic -- the type used to record delicate, complicated tones like acoustic guitar -- in a general-use context. Overtones are present, and there is no aggressive roll-off in any part of the tonal spectrum (unlike the SM7B, which rolls off high wavelengths to the point of distortion in my opinion). The result is a natural tone that is not highly colored. This helps me not only produce natural-sounding voice content; it also gives me excellent flexibility, because this mic could also be used for instrument recording and other general-purpose capture. Overall, I'm still a fan of the RE20 if a classic broadcast tone is what I want. However, I would be happy to use the Ethos for all my voice and general-purpose audio work. The fact that it does not need much power makes it practical for recording field interviews, which means this mic gets used a lot more than the RE20. Bonus points for the excellent ball-head mount included with the mic. As far as I'm concerned, the Ethos is the best voice and general-purpose microphone in its price range.

I connect these headphones into a Sony Playstation Vita and listen to songs using the Sony Music Unlimited application. This gives me adequate emphasis of bass to help me determine the notes which are sometimes difficult to hear and decipher. When wanting to play along to the music simultaneously using either guitar or bass, I simply plug MDR-7506 through the headphone port on subwoofer/amp combo or DI box. The Playstation Vita is then connected to auxillary port using appropriate auxillary cable. I then have the option of muting the output to the internal speaker depending on whether or not I want my neighbors to hear. MDR-7506 also come with a pouch to carry headphones and cable in. The earpads are soft which make extended listening appropriate. Though, I am fearful these pads may breakdown or tear at a faster rate or higher percentage. This is ok since the earpads themselves can be replaced without buying a complete new product. Another concern is the thin wire connection run independently to the left and right speakers. They could become caught within the sliding adjustment piece that is used to accomodate different head sizes. No worry just something to be aware and cautious of in advance. Overall, the sound is excellent with great clarity and bass. The price was just right for my budget. I wanted to splurge and spend more on this component of my system. However, after testing several other higher priced models, I simply could not justify passing up the quality this unit provided. Legitimacy confirmed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Received these not too long ago, set them up to the Sony PlayStation 4 and let me tell ya, the sound quality on these bad boys are top notch.

This is the best value for your dollar!

Sounds great on the PlayStation 4!!

used it as a hub on my sons playstation

awesome i use this for my 85mm carl zeiss 1200 dollar sony lens so it wont get scratched awesome product no complaints

This little $ dollar adapter allowed me to get out my old vintage Mamiya lens' and use them on my Sony a7r. I have no autofocus with this adapter but the a7r has great features to overcome that. It's well made and simple to use. even has a base for mounting the tripod on to it. Glad I found it.
