This is part of the promotion of their video mic, it is a fun little test to see if you can the different mic techniques being used:

For someone 100% clueless about the microphone industry, I feel I did eh okay?

Though I can't see what I got wrong because I don't know what I was supposed to be listening out for in some of the tests ;(

For example I tried to rationalize what the difference between an under boom mic, vs over boom mic sound would be like (thinking about how maybe bass might be higher in the underboom?) And the questions differentiating mic brands, I can hear the difference, but I wish I could get a taste of what each was supposed to sound like so I can A/B them ;(

Fun test though.

30/30, easily. But maybe it's unfair since I'm a professional sound recordist and boom operator

Edit: Just out of curiosity, would anyone like to see a breakdown of what are the differences and what to listen for in each test?

Not so good here! Glad I don't know anything about microphones because if I did, this would be really embarrassing!

I got up to 14k with speakers which makes me 44, almost 20 years younger. Now if I could only feel 44.

Not bad for someone who only knows how different types of mics work and their limitations

My hearing age is also 55. I was surprised because I’m 60, have tinnitus and hearing loss in my right ear.

I used my Plantronics Back Beat Pro2 Bluetooth headphones on my iPhone 10.
