I think your title should have been "Are cheap mics just Fifine now?"

I use this a lot for my b-roll mic when I want to grab a mic and not even worry about adding processing. So good out of the box. Not a “forever mic” but a great mic to pull out of the tool box for some fun every now and then!!!

I just bought a FiFine 669d and I absolutely love it. I’ve had dozens of mics, all of the popular ones but this is sooooo much better. I absolutely love the sound. I added a shock mount and it’s perfect.

I use this microphone for streaming. It excels at minimizing background noise and, interestingly, it sounds more like a condenser mic than a dynamic one. Regarding condenser microphones, my top choice is the NZXT Capsule Mini, and for dynamic microphones, I prefer the Fifine AM8.

I love this mic for how it sounds and what it is. I keep my “good”mics at my studio and the AM8 at home. It’s great for Zoom meetings (the mute button is handy for using instead of hitting the on-screen icon with a mouse and cursor), and sounds good enough for recording voiceovers in a pinch. Just keep it on a stand or boom arm and don’t fiddle with it.

Just one of the best "cheap mics" out there right now. Looks incredible, sounds good straight out of capsule and... yes, the RGB. And those clown noses. Just wow.

I remember back in the 90s when the Rode NT-1, Oktava 219, AKG c3000, and CAD E-100 came out. Those where game changers, because everything else was thousands of dollars. What's happening now is nuts!

Thank you for the video so I was looking for a podcast / recording mic for a long time and I end up with too mics, The "AKG D5" and "SE V7". Which one is better for the male voice, And is there a better mic in the same price range?

Regardless of the price point....which do you prefer, this or the Maono pd 200x??

This mic has blown me away for the price...i wish it was more robust and i wish there was some kinda shockmount but it sounds incredible without any processing.

It sounds fantastic. If a 15 million subscriber KZfaqr switched to this, they wouldn't lose any followers

I have been using this microphone for the last 2 weeks. And I'm glad I bought it. It sounds so good. I have it in white and its so pretty. I use it in XLR mode alongside the Fifine SC3 mixer

Well said. Great video as usual.

I have this mic. Among other Fifine mics for budget purposes. The AM8 sounded way better than I expected! The other more recent Fifine mics I purchased sound so good I can’t stop using one I particular. They are definitely a great solution for good sound on a tight budget!

Can you plug in both the XLR for the better audio and the USB to get the lights at the same time?

Not sure if I'm the only one hearing it but this mic makes your voice sound little robotic, almost digital instead of having a smoother sound to it

For about ~$50 it’s a GREAT sounding mic!

tengo un fifine k669b y llevo 4 años ocupandolo sin problemas

is the am8 better than the hyperx solocast?

Glad to see this one!

am8 or blue yati x ?

I bought the AM8 and it just did not fit my voice well, but the K699D and the K688 are amazing and fit my voice WAY better as well as the Tonnor TD510. Take away, find the mic that fits your voice no matter the brand name or the price. There are a great many "Budget Mics" that are very good now and will serve well for quit awhile.

Is the headphone jack a mic only output (just from what the mic hears), or can you get the output of the computer through it? That would be cool if you could.

Hello sir could we use 02 of mics with USB connection to one laptop for podcasting with audacity or osb ?

I absolutely agree!

I’m disappointed that you turned off the RGB lighting part way thru the video as it means you are not accessing 50% of the value.

Great video as always! What's the move? Podmic usb or vocaster one + podmic / other xlr? Can't make up my mind 😅

The mic is really good I just wished it got rid of the big gain knobs

I think what they are doing is proving that most other mics are way overpriced. I have to remember that these companies are spending much on product development.

Excellent video again. Not for me - but - I say, if it works and sounds "good" enough for most, these days, does it matter for the masses or those wanting "entry level". If it's hidden from shot, does it really matter? If it works for you - it just works.

you sound pretty good to me, got good body sound to it, the range sound good!! now as far as you hitting the table that did pick up a few times!! but for podcasting this would be a good deal!! let's remember Michael Jackson recorded Triller album on the SM7 in 1982, The listeners don't care as long as they can hear what your saying the rest don't matter lol!!!!

Personally, I rather see a company giving instructions to use a free program to add noise gates, than having them create a companion app themselves, that is probably a bit subpar and not the time of effort put in it that it needs to be good. I rather see them spend that money on making the best possible mic for the price point. When I bought my USB record player it had instructions on how to record with audacity, not only it worked perfectly without the company having to invest in writing a program, it also introduced my in a graleat (certainly at that time) free audio program. However maybe people want companion apps because audio routing in windows is horrible. But even then, there are some very usable programs

well there you have it a new category for those "adult" sites, clown noise ASMR

Well…those disposable lighters served wonders for a whole generation. So there’s that 😂 not even that…those disposable lighters were more dependable than the new ones 😌

Ah.... pleasantly disappointing, if there is such a thing.
