Sennheiser MKE 440 vs. RODE VideoMic PRO Review: Microphone for Youtube

Review of the Sennheiser MKE 440 Microphone - a shotgun video / DSLR microphone with amazing sound quality that will definitely step up an YouTube creator's game. This is one of the best microphones I have heard in this class. This video compares the sound from the Sennheiser MKE 440 to the very popular Rode VideoMic Pro. All audio in this video has NOT been processed in anyway. As stated, the in-camera audio level (a6500) is set to 3, and both microphones were used at their highest setting, +20 db.
