Microphone AB Test - Blue Yeti Pro, Behringer T1, Gear One MV1000 and Behringer C2

Setup: Macbook Air 2014, Garage band, Blue Yeti Pro USB direct in, or MobilePre USB, without plop filter, no Fx added at all. Song: The first verse of a bright, happy Japanese anime song. Niji no Oto by Eir Aoi. Results: 1. Blue Yeti Pro (tri-capsule condenser; cardioid) - Brightest, least plop, picked up fine details 2. Behringer T1 (tube condenser) - Warmest, least plop picked up fine details 3. Gear One MV1000 (dynamic) - Bright, plop can be annoying, less details 4. Behringer C2 (condenser) - Warm, plop can be annoying, picked up fine details Overall comments: Surprisingly, among my four mics, I still prefer T1 for its warmth. For both the quieter and more excited sections of the song, T1 sounded more pleasing to the ears. The second runner up for vocal (in particular, this type of songs) would definitely be Blue Yeti Pro. Note that I use a happy anime song for the test. The result could turn out to be different if I go for one of the "whisper" songs. MV1000 and C2 in general just hurt my ears with the plops and the sharp high frequency notes (yes it&my voice and it still hurt me, lol). Well, given that I got MV1000 for live purpose, and C2 for miking acoustic instruments in live concerts, they actually performed not-that-bad for recording vocal. Conclusion: For happy vocal, I&use Blue Yeti Pro. For warm vocal and speech, I&use T1.
