• Testing the microphones ourselves for viability with cameras, ease of use, sound pick up and distortions, as well as the mic’s sensitivity. 
• The build and construction of the microphone, especially boom mics. We also consider the weight and length, and sometimes dish diameter if we are dealing with parabolic mics.
• The mic’s brand history in the market for a peep into the durability, and quality decline over years of usage. 
• We test for the usability of the microphones both indoors and outdoors, and their performance in different humid conditions.
