 Hello everyone, this is Amit Dan of AmitDan.com Today I will have another episode of unboxing and review video and I will be presenting the Sennheiser MK-E200 directional microphone which I have it right here So in the past I have used the RODE VideoMicro Pro I'm sorry the RODE just VideoMicro and which I have it right here This is a very popular on-camera mic and this is also not cheap It's a bit expensive and then I have also used a cheap Boa mic shotgun mic which is Boa BM3011 but I was never happy with the product or with the sound quality and I was looking for something better and that's what made me to buy the MK-E200 So before I unbox the product I would just like to go through some of the specs right here It has two very unique features and one of them is that built-in shock absorption and wind protection So for example, if you take a look here the shock absorption bridge or the device is already included which is staying inside the mic so you don't have to take it out and put it back like a RODE VideoMicro and also there is a built-in windscreen which is right here and also there is an additional windscreen so that should be very significant recording outdoors and cutting wind noise or other noise you don't want to hear and they actually offer different types or different models There is like an MK-E200, 400, 440, 600 but the reason I like this one is that it doesn't require a battery and it's very small and unobtrusive so it also works within a smartphone or camera so I just wanted to keep my recording gear and everything minimal when I travel and this is a perfect match to travel one with one bag because you don't need a lot of space So I'm going to open this up and I'm going to take a look at it and then later on I'll just add sample clips and I'll give you my opinion and this is a non-affiliated unbiased review there are no affiliated links I purchased this with my own money no one paid me or sent me anything to do a review so whatever you're going to hear, they're totally unbiased and true so let's try to open this up and let's see if we can open this easily so we have this packaging right here so what I can tell you about the box is that it's a very nicely packaged product usually Sennheiser products are this way and it's not over designing but not minimal designing either so it's just very eye-catching and I like it this way so I'm opening the box here and so I see there's something here so they just gave a quick setup instructions which is right here how do we install this and let me just remove this cover and it looks like a small brochure or manual I'll just set it aside and then we have a small pouch which is right here and it looks like actually very high quality it doesn't feel or look cheap so I'll just set it aside here and then we have the wind muff this is very kind of velvet smooth it doesn't feel cheap anyway and it feels very expensive so just to show you an example if you compare other wind muffs for example my BOA then you can tell the difference that this looks much more expensive and better quality than the cheap one and I'm just going to set this aside here and then we have two different types of cable which one is for camera which is TRS and one is for smartphone and that's a very good thing so you can use it with your smartphone and that's my purpose actually because I've been doing lots of live videos and I need a better mic system so this is a good addition and then I'll take out the mic and let me just take a quick look so the bag or the box is all empty just close this box and set the box aside so the very first thing I'm noticing that how light and small it is it feels like you're holding nothing and although it is plastic it doesn't feel any way cheap or not a quality product it has the quality all over it and it's a very high quality plastic and just by looking at it you have the feeling that this is going to work and this is going to be a good product so at this point I'm just going to stop here and I'll just do more testing and I'll just find out some more about the product and then I'll attach it to this part of video so when you are watching the whole video you're going to have a better idea with the test clips and everything thank you Hello everyone I took my time to use the Sennheiser MK200 and I'm really impressed with the results and today I'm going to show you some comparison with the Rode Video Micro and just the regular camera audio quality and also I'm going to add some clips which I used with the Sennheiser MK200 outdoors so you'll be able to see the difference so let's start with the first audio testing without any microphone and this is just the camera audio you're going to be listening Audio testing 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 this is the mic or this is the camera mic you're hearing there's no additional mic attached to the camera this is the camera's original audio Audio testing 1, 2, 3 Audio testing 1, 2, 3 this is Rode Video Micro Audio testing 1, 2, 3 this is Rode Video Micro attached to the camera Audio testing 1, 2, 3 1, 2, 3 Audio testing 1, 2, 3 this is the Sennheiser MK200 attached to the camera Audio testing 1, 2, 3 this is the Sennheiser MK200 attach to the camera audio testing one two three one two three audio testing one two three. So you heard the audio from both of these Sennheiser MK200 and the Rode Video Micro Pro and now I'm going to attach some you know outer clips from Sennheiser MK200. One thing I'd like to mention that I even tried this one without the wind muff it provided and even in windy conditioners it looks like that you know it works just fine without the wind muff. The reason is that it has a built-in wind muff inside it so it protects like you know good amount of wind but if it's like a storm or really really windy then you can use the wind muff but you know I have been using this one without the wind muff and I have never had any problem because it cuts wind very good even without the wind muff and one of the audio clips you're going to be seeing has some wind noise in it but you're gonna see that you know there's no wind noise because this is just cutting the wind. So watch some of these clips outdoor clips using this one without the wind muff and then you will be able to see and compare. In my own opinion this is the best YouTube microphone or microphone to touch to your you know GoPro or camera or anything or when you're vlogging and the size and the audio quality is unbelievable and you're getting a very good deal at this price and my own opinion is that you know this is a lot better than a Rode video micro or any other available microphones on the market and again this is not an affiliated or paid review I purchased this with my own money no affiliated links so I will not be making any money from you by clicking through the affiliated links so you know you can rest assured that the opinions are honest and unbiased so thank you for watching this video there will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly thank you there's a lineup to enter the restaurant and this is actually Toronto Police Department's main unit and this is where they park their police boats and you can see that the restaurant is busy
