FIFINE AM8 DYNAMIC MICROPHONE REVIEW - HOW DOES IT STACK UP FOR GAMING, STREAMING, CONTENT CREATION

Рет қаралды 79,286

Күн бұрын

Review of the Fifine AM8 which is a entry level $50 microphone. I compare the Fifine AM8 dynamic microphone to my SHURE SM7B via phone, usb, and XLR with a GoXLR mini. I am aiming this review towards the beginner content creators, streamers, and gamers out there. Thus, I avoid many technical details.

A fine revew for a fifine microphone. I think in future reviews coming up with presets that could be used with your specific XLR interface or even just on the nobs vs no preset cleanup could show how a mic like this could be tweeked to sound amazing.

I'd love to own an SM7B one day, but I'm definitely going to need to bust my ass to afford one. I love chunky looking mics that still look modern, so this is right up my alley- I've been running with the K669B from the same manufacturer for two or three years now and with a wind screen it's passable but I'm definitely looking for upgrades lol. Looks like this one fits the bill :)

@hwthinker 4 ай бұрын

Does the dual output (USB & XLR) of AM8 operate alternately or can they be used simultaneously? If they can be used simultaneously, is it possible as a backup in case one of them encounters an issue? How about K688? Can the USB & XLR be used simultaneously? I appreciate your assistance.

@FIFINE 2 күн бұрын

The USB & XLR of both the AM8 and K688 can work simultaneously! And most of these types of mics should do, so yes, you can definitely use one of the connections for the audio backup.

I use external software to make it sound better; It does pick up the keyboard if you set the gain too high(theres a sweet spot where you get your voice and no keyboard though!) for context my keyboard and mouse are infront of my mic which is closer to me and in front of my mouth.

hi revan just came across this review , i just started streaming and i stream directly from my ps5 console and i use a condenser mic with xlr to usb directly into ps5 and my sound is very far or echoes with lots of background noise even after adjusting sound settings in console. so i was wondering if this fifine microphone would work great with the ps5 directly with usb

@revanful 3 ай бұрын

It's sounds like this may be more of an environment issue. Are you keeping the microphone close to your face? Is your room very echoy?

@talpix.gaming_ 3 ай бұрын

@@revanful I am keeping the microphone close and the room is not echoey at all. Idk why the mic just pics up background noise so sensitively

@FIFINE 2 күн бұрын

It works with PS5 and since it's not even close to the sensitivity of a condenser mic, it will pick up much less background compared to any condenser models. But in the case where you won't be able to use any plugins as you do on a computer, even a dynamic mic will capture some of the background.

@revanful 11 ай бұрын

I think the hyperx quadcast is not worth the money at all. That is personal opinion and not influenced by this free product. I have always been pretty apprehensive when it comes to the quadcast. Hyperx makes some understanded mice however.

@ViniRustAlves 4 ай бұрын

I think the Quadcast is a condenser mic, isn't it? So completely different focuses. If you're going to use it on a computer, specially for gaming or working (meetings and stuff), the AM8 or any decent quality dynamic mic will be miles better than any condenser mic just because dynamic vs condenser. I know the comment is old, but someone might come in here wondering the same.

@FIFINE 2 күн бұрын

Not that strange, these type of mics is getting more popular because they're offering entry-level users one more option on their way to being experienced. When they're still out of reach to use a proper XLR setup in terms of skill and budget, but not satisfied with the audio quality from the USB connection, they have a compromised setup, not breaking the bank, but up the audio a little bit. Anyway, it just provides an option so they don't need to always stick with the USB.
