    Here Is a Great Boom Arm You Can Pair With Either the Solocast or Seiren Mini - ua-cam.com/video/6Z4tis1iHHU/v-deo.html

    I got the chance to use both and let me tell you:
    If you just want to get a better mic for discord then buy the Razer Seiren mini!
    The amount of background noise that the Hyperx picks up really fucks with discord noise suppression and makes your voice volume go up and down and outright cuts your voice.

      Thank you! That's 90% my mic usage so it helps a lot to know this.
      Mind if I ask, what are your Discord mic settings with the Mini? I currently have a Neewer 7000 and I deactivated noise supression, echo and whatever else cause sometimes it mutes my voice a lot but once deactivated the background noise is insane. The mic pics birds that are far. o______O"

      @noapoleon_ 3 роки тому +1

      @@Bacavoit i had the neewer 7000 too and tried to change the settings a bit but since I don't know much I kept making the voice cutting or noise worse. It fixed itself when I just defaulted all the settings though.
      for the mini settings I just keep them at default on voice activity and it works fine, I don't have nitro anyway so I don't think my voice will sound better anyway

    I would love to see using the Seiren mini's microphone stand on the Solocast to make clear if the vibration problems with the Solocast come from its mount's unstable and solid build and/or the way the microphone connects to the stand.
    In case you are reading this late comment and happen to still have the microphones, out of curiosity, please let me know your results.

    The cable placement on the Razer seems like a pro at first, but keep in mind it could make things more difficult if you want to slide the mic into a universal shock mount on a boom arm

    The Hyperx Solocast picks up vibrations with the boom arm as well, even if you just nudge the boom arm the vibrations basically destroys the mic and you can hear the vibration resonance for like 1 min afterwards as well. While the Razer Seiren just picks up your voice better with the boom arm with basically no downside to it. So I would recommend the Razer Seiren Mini, even tho I mostly hate Razer products.

For example I have very solid and quite heavy table, you cant shake it with hands, but I do have literal main street outside the house right under my windows and the roads are not perfect,so heavy public transport going over a hole or a bump on the road causes the ground to shake to the point where everything shakes here pretty visibly, no matter how stable the furniture/things are.

    One thing I notice on the Razer Seiren is that when you plug it in, Windows by default turn down the gain volume by a lot.
    So if you want it to pick up more volume, try adjusting the gain on your Windows settings.

    Hi Caleb. Neither mic seems all that impressive and I personally wouldn’t use the adjective great to describe them. 😄 the one with the usb cable sticking out the back would absolutely drive me nuts. The other one was too low for an average sized person to sit 8” away. I feel these mics ought be reviewed as is and not for potentially being used with a boom arm.
    I recently bought a FiFine 678 for $54 and it’s been very nice. It’s solid metal, sits up high, has both a volume and a gain knob as well as a mute button and light. It can also be boom mounted. I use this with my video conferencing calls for work and also multi hour training calls when I don’t want to wear a headset. Btw, you can also plug a headset into it. People tell me my voice comes through very clear and at the right level and they can hear themselves through my external speaker when I have the gain set correctly.

    • @CalebThornton
      @CalebThornton  4 роки тому +2

      Yeah, that is why I tested them on the desk and then held them up to my mouth showing how it would sound both ways. I personally think they sound good. I have not tested a wide variety of microphones though, so I don't know everything there is on offer. I might have to check out the FiFine 678 though, sounds like a nice microphone.

    • @JLALALALA
      @JLALALALA 4 роки тому

      @@CalebThornton I feel like the one mic that we could barely hear you even with the gain turned up wouldn’t be a good choice, in my opinion. If the company is designing and building these as desktop mics they ought to be able to be used properly that way and bot need and additional piece of hardware that might not fit everyone’s need to get the right sound. Other important features I believe are a mute button, a mute indicator, and actual buttons or knobs for volume and gain. Having to open an app to control these isn’t optimal especially when there are other better quality mics for the same prices that come with these. I’m looking forward to your review of mic arms because that’s my next purchase. 😃. Keep up the good work Caleb.

    Boom arm doesnt work as well. I downloaded the RTX voice and NVIDIA Broadcast softwares..when turning on noise removal you can clap 10 cm in front of the HyperX without hearing anything. But as soon as you start talking it picks up on every word. So I would recommend the HyperX :D

    What I learned 5 minutes in razer mic picks up way less background noise so if you are a UA-camr or Twitch streamer definitely get the razer mic. Hyper picks up more sound so if you have a quiet keyboard or mic and minimal background noise I would recommend the hyper x. And for discord, if your friends don't get annoyed by the background noise you might be better of with hyper x but if you already struggle with keeping down background noise I would recommend the mini also when gaming background noise doesn't get in the way. Also, hyper x might be better with a boom arm because its harder to pick up vibrations farther away from the keyboard/ computer vibration.

    Hey, I am a noob in audio recording, I really can't notice the vibrations, it could be just that I don't know where to focus, but it is clear that you are talking about you use of the keyboard, if I am narrating something and purposely not writing anything on the keyboard, would it make a difference? Which would you choose if you are fully limited to just reading stuff outloud and not using your keyboard?
