A good microphone, please!

[micolas]

Guys, I apologize in advance.
I hope I'm not bothering anyone.

A friend of mine knows that I'm a serious person, he asked me to recommend a good microphone for his girlfriend who sings very beautifully on various special occasions.
Like a normal person, I was looking for something good and cheap, which would provide maximum satisfaction.
I found some very attractive offers, but I don't know which one to choose.
Please help me, does anyone have experience with one of the models in the pictures?
Are they real microphones or toys?

... Or personal massagers? I'm leaning towards "toys" though... What exactly is the application, though?

PS. Not to be "paranoid", but we've barely begun march; april fools is still over 3 weeks away

various special occasions.

One might wonder what those are...

which would provide maximum satisfaction.

You know this is highly individual matter...
So many tastes and preferences...




...so little time

Latino-balkans? Beautiful!

I was eagerly awaiting your pertinent, professional and artistic opinion.
It is a complex, delicate situation.

Everything's a dildo if you're brave enough.
So I heard.

What exactly is the application, though?

Hmmm... Typical, I guess.

For microphones, that is. What else?

I couldn't possibly pass a thread with such a title started by you!

I immensely appreciate that you value so highly my expertise in microphones.

Thanks to this situation I began to understand the true meaning of the concept of "Audio ASMR"

I've always had a great appreciation for people who value musical psychology, in this specific case, the psychology of special microphones.

Creative thinking, that's the key to maximum satisfaction you mentioned above as a requirement.

By the way - everyone's here has lots absolutely neccessary collection of mics. So as to obtain best results. Therefore why you ask to choose only one?! She needs a collection. Like every normal and sane person!

 

[pmfalcman]

Have you thought she may like a dynamic microphone?

I agree. In fact, it is very likely that enthusiasts have a varied collection of microphones of all types.
GAS / Shopaholic syndrome strikes everyone mercilessly.



Edit:
P.S. Does anyone know if the color of the microphone influences performance?

 

[micolas]

It's a pertinent point of view.
Even the shape of the headbasket of a dynamic microphone is natural.
Plus you benefit from a nice intimacy effect, ...sorry proximity effect!

Edit: Additionally, a dynamic microphone is mechanically more... dynamic!

Stange way of spelling "objective necessity"

Obviously! You, with so obvious experience in electronics, should know better!
Cables' colour matters too! Cannot clash with mic's colour! Electrons get confused, irritated and it hampers the performance.
Not to mention how awfully embarassing is being seen in public with mismatched accessories!
Really, Micolas...

@MicMaven started a thread titled "Heavenly body!"
You guys feel the spring coming already, don't you?

I wanted to record a nicely singing bird. A cat male's mating calls ruined the opportunity.
(Don't know why it came to my mind just now)

And I, like a fool, bought the black Rode NT1 Gen6 instead of ordering the pink one.
I just had the intention from the very beginning to use it for girls.

Yes, spring is here and we feel it, it can already be seen in our posts.
But I can't help but notice the absence of @MicMaven from the discussion table on such an important topic.
