Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone Full Review

First off, Comica was kind enough to send the Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone System for free to review. That said the opinions in this review are my own and I do a fairly thorough review testing out the audio of the Comica BoomX-D PRO’s to my Comica Vimo C similar Microphone system. I use a variety of setups including recording into my camera and smart phone via line in and USB in. I also test out the internal recording capability of the Comica BoomX-D PRO’s to see if three is any difference in sound and levels.

One of the main reasons why I was interested in tech Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone System is its ability to record directly to internal memory so you do not necessarily need a receiver as you can record direct to internal memory to one or both of the transmitters Microphones and then transfer the audio to you computer or smart phone later to sync with any video you may have recorded to go along with it.

The Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone System also comes with lapel Microphones that you can use instead of the built in Microphones on the actual transmitters which can make for a more discreet microphone setup and may improve audio just a little bit. The Comica Vimo C Wireless Microphone System I have been suing for the last two years and which has never let me down and fulfilled pretty much all my audio needs is a bit more compact setup than the Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone System but Comica Vimo C’s do not have internal memory to record to our allow for using lapel microphones.

In terms of audio quality, both systems sounds fairly similar, the Comica Vimo C Wireless Microphone System to me sounds like it may be a bit fuller in the bottom end just a little bit but not by much. Both systems have a solid connection between the transmitters and the receiver giving good range with a reliable connection  with no cutouts as long as you do not get really far away with objects in-between the transmitter and receiver. I suggest you watch my Full Review Video and decide for yourself how you feel about the audio quality of the Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone System and if perhaps it may be the right setup for your audio recording needs. In my opinion they are a well priced system for what you get and are comparable to much higher pried units without compromising quality of build or sound.

Here are some of the key features of the Comica BoomX-D PRO Wireless Microphone System:

  • 2.4G Digital Dual-channel Wireless microphone, Global Free Frequency.
  • 48kHz/16bits Audio Recording, One-click Intelligent Denoise.

Whistler and Birch Bay Summer Holiday

My wife and I just came back from a wonderful trip to Whistler BC Canada where we stayed 5 nights, then we traveled a few hours to Birch Bay Washington US for 3 more nights.

We stayed in our WorldMark Timeshare which is always very enjoyable and invited up some good friends and relatives to come and join us for part of each trip. It was a lot of fun being able to spend some of our vacation time with good people!

It was a vacation first and foremost but I like to document my trips al least to some degree with video. So I am able to share parts of the vacation with everyone using my Meta Glasses, HoverAir X1 Selfie Drone, Insta360 X4 and GO2 cameras and even a drone shot of me playing around flying my mini Pavo Pico FPV Drone around the hotel in Whistler.

I hope you enjoy the video of our various walks, outings and just simpel hotel lounging around. If you are thinking of going for a vacation in Whistler or Birch Bay, this video may give you a bit of an idea of what you can expect.

Vancouver Open Show Stage Photos

No narration in this video, just some background music to set the mood a bit, they are not really in too much of an order other than they are some of my favorite photos from the ones I received and start off with Men's Physique and end with Classic Physique.

They are a mix of the morning pre-judging and evening awards shows but it is hard to tell the difference really all that much. Maybe I was a smidge fuller in the evening show?

Vancouver Open Show Video

Review of Vancouver Open Video:
  • The video quality was good but not super high quality (1080p), as it was 6 hours long.
  • My body conditioning was good but my size was not on par with the other competitors or other shows I have done.
  • There are some areas that can be improved for sure.
Classic Physique 45+ Competition Analysis:
  • Participated in the Classic Physique 45+ competition with three others.
  • Thought I was the most conditioned but the winner had better size and conditioning.
  • I was pleased with my conditioning and third-place finish.
  • Felt I should have perhaps gotten 2nd place based on what I saw.
  • The judges prioritized size over conditioning, 2nd place was not that well conditioned in my opinion.
  • The winner displayed a balanced physique with well-developed legs and upper body and good conditioning.
Men's Physique Open and 40+:
  • Participated in two categories: Men's Physique 40+ and Men's Physique Open.
  • Secured third position in the Men's Physique Open category.
  • Did not place in Men's Physique Masters 40+ (got 4th).
  • Again size was awarded over conditioning, I was in my opinion the most conditioned on stage.
  • My posing did let me down a bit and also the shoulder issue I was dealing with which was a big part of it.
Shoulder Impingement Issue:
  • You can see I drop my shoulder a bit on my right side and it is hard for me to get it into the correct position.
  • I have had a shoulder impingement that affects my posing and overall balance for some time now after an injury going back several years.
  • I did train the affected shoulder more intensely to compensate for the issue but the imbalance was still present.
Other Areas I Need to Work On:
  • Abs could be tighter while posing.
  • Chest and back size needs to come up and of course shoulders, Arms and legs held their own compared to the rest of my shape for this show.
  • Posing always needs to improve.
Prejudging Versus Awards Show:
  • I was for sure much fuller for the awards show as I got more needed carbs into me.
  • My body handled carbs very well with my improved health, so I need to eat a lot more carbs now to carb up fully, lesson learned.
  • I may have placed better if I was fuller n the prejudging section of the show.
What I Liked About What I Brought to the Show:
  • My conditioning was as good if not better than most of the other competitors.
  • I am very satisfied with my overall balance and proportions, I just need to add another 10 pounds of muscle overall.
  • My Classic Physique posing transitions where improved for this show.
  • Leg balance is usually an issue but leg balance was about right for this show.
Chose to Compete with Younger Competitors:
  • I moving down a couple classes to avoid competing alone.
  • In Men's Physique I went from 55+ down to 40+, also competed in Open.
  • In Classic Physique I went from 55+ down to 45+.

Vancouver Open Post Show Thoughts

Now that's the Vancouver Open is all over, what are my thoughts on how everything went? Did I meet my expectations? Was there more I could have done? How did I compare to the other guys on stage and was I perhaps at a disadvantage as I am restricted to an actual TRT dose rather than a bodybuilder dose? Can I even be competitive under these circumstances? Does it even matter since this was a personal goal to get back to the stage and at the end of the day, that is exactly what I accomplished so I would say it was a major victory if only a personal one...

What is next for me? I am not even really sure, but health will always be priority number one, followed closely by quality of life. I am a bodybuilder that lives a bodybuilder lifestyle, this can put some strain on the body but it also brings with it positive health impacts. It is about finding that perfect balance, and that is what I plan to do.
