The Electro-Voice RE20 is a legendary microphone that has been a staple in broadcasting since its introduction in 1968. Its Variable-D technology minimizes proximity effect, ensuring consistent sound quality even with close-miking techniques. The RE20's rugged, industrial design not only appeals to my aesthetic preferences but also delivers exceptional durability. In comparison to the Shure SM7B, another popular choice among podcasters and YouTubers, I find the RE20's sound profile better complements my voice, providing clean and crisp audio that enhances my recordings. While the RE20 may not have the sleek appearance of some competitors, its performance and reliability make it a superior choice for those seeking professional-grade sound quality. Although it's an investment, the RE20's proven track record and exceptional build quality make it worth every penny. I couldn't be happier with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone serious about their audio production.

I went through several different mics, in several different price ranges, trying to find what I liked best for my voice. This is definitely The One! There's a reason it's been an industry standard for so long! Sounds great and built like a tank. If you can budget for it, it is absolutely worth the cost! Incredibly happy with my decision.

Wasted your time with cheap mics like Yeti Blues or $100-200 mics? Well, I did too and I wasn't happy about it. I spend a ton of time watching reviews and comparisons, history, and sound samples and this is where I ended up at. Having been used for vocals on several famous records in the 60's alone and continues to be used in just about every studio. Not to mention that it's a staple in just about every radio station or broadcast session. Here's my big takeaways and why this is my fav mic: 1) Cost is relatively low compared to high end mics. Expensive for small time or beginner podcasters or musicians but will last you a lifetime and you'll still be at the top of your game. 2) Rejects background noise VERY well. If you are in an untreated room (i.e. you don't have acoustic panels etc.) this can still sound really great. 3) Built in Pop filter that can handle most plosives without requiring a separate Pop filter (your mileage may vary though depending your voice). Speak into the mic off center if it's an issue. 4) Great at handling proximity effect - you don't have to worry about your tone changing if you aren't always on top of the mic. 5) Built like a tank - this thing will be around after the bombs drop with cockroaches and Keith Richards.

I don’t have the Shure SM7B, but this definitely sounds better than that based on the demos. This is perfect for deep voices for podcasts and vocals. Doesn’t pick up background noise and pretty idiot proof.

I have been working with 5 different radio stations in my area for about 15 years. I regularly play with a large variety of audio equipment. The Electro-voice mics have been rock solid, and the best sounding of all. The bigger station I work with has 15 or so RE20 and RE320 mics that they use for all of their voice work. So far, I have never had an EV mic come with a buzz or hum problem of any kind. They have all been perfectly dependable right out of the box. When I decided to setup my own personal studio, I went with the EV mics. I bought one of each the RE320 and the RE20. At first I did have some noise problems, but I discovered that the issues were coming from a problematic mixer and some incorrect settings with the audio processing equipment. Once I got those ironed out everything has been great. I would recommend EV mics every single time, especially the RE20. They really are fantastic.

As a broadcaster some like it, some hate it. I personally love this mic. I have a Rode Broadcaster which technically sounds better because its colored and the proximity effect is enhanced. However, the EV RE20 has something so unique and gorgeous about the way it looks, makes you sound and record. I absolutely love this mic.

Although this microphone has a lot of potential, the microphone has issues that have not been addressed by the company. I had seen complaints online about it beforehand but was hoping they were a small percentage. It's something to do with manufacturing changes made after 2012 that leads to the microphone sometimes accentuating and boosting the electrical noises that it's meant to get rid of. Regardless, i bought this microphone to replace my SM7B because I liked the audio overall more than the SM7B in the comparisons I saw online for voice/guitar and was hoping I would not get one of the faulty mics. I ended up with the annoying coil/electrical noise sadly. Not worth the risk of investment/time to repeatedly go through a return and replacement process to receive a working one for me. I've seen complaints that even if you get a working one, it could be faulty within a few months. Maybe that risk or extra effort isn't as annoying for you. Edit: I ended up getting a replacement because I just like the audio so much more than the SM7B. The buzz still exists with this model if I have the chain as microphone -> cable -> fethead -> interface. However, this time the buzz gets removed if the chain is set as microphone -> fethead -> cable -> interface. With my first mic, the noise persisted regardless of how I set up the chain. I am happy with the results so far. Hopefully it doesn't malfunction. Will update the post if it does.
