I never knew which one sounded best.</p> <p><a class="link" href="https://howdousound.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" ><strong>How Do U Sound?</strong></a> is a free microphone test that runs in your browser. It records a short guided sample from every input at once (you talk, whisper, then clap), then scores each mic on signal-to-noise, noise floor, room echo, and plosives, ranks them, and lets you play them back side by side.</p> <p>Your audio never leaves your machine. There is no backend; all recording and analysis happen client-side.</p> <p>Try it at <a class="link" href="https://howdousound.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener" >howdousound.com</a>.</p>
