I liked your video because you focus more in what others videos don't and is their features, most of the people talk about price and things that everyone already knows. Nice job !
solid, thank you sa review na to sir :) nagaabang din ako ng review para sa newly released AM8 eh. mukhang yun nga ang kukunin ko bilang mic ko pang discord, gaming, etc, tsaka natripan ko yung design :) salamat po uli
Please tell me which microphone is best for me to choose up to $100? Input data: the current microphone is a t669 with a pantograph, the sound insulation of the room is 5/10, there are no sound panels (but there is a desire to purchase), an audio card is only built into the computer. Goals: voice-over of videos, recording videos on UA-cam or tick tok. Most likely in the future I will buy a sound card. Now I am most inclined to a dynamic microphone, but I am also considering condenser ones. Now the choice has fallen on 2 models from fifine: AM8 and K688. Which of these microphones should I choose, or are there better solutions?
I use the k658 for voice overs too for its superb clarity and balance. It's my main microphone I use to do voice over jobs yet as I said in the video, the k658 will not be best for singing. (RGB looks good too)
Hi! Thanks for the in depth review. I do voice overs (kind of like for a children's channel so my voice can get high sometimes) and record in an untreated noisy room. I've been looking at the k688 and the am8, which one do you think would be the perfect fit for me?
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 help.
hello brother! saw your lazada review on am8 and k688! subscribed! may i ask if you replaced the foam filter for the k688 with sm7b foam clone? do you think a sm7b original foam is better than the fake one?
Awesome review, an annoyng thing is the video background and lighting while the head of the speaker (an awesome and very talented guy) is too low. Why? Noone told him. Again thank you for a very useful review!
just saw ur earphone review that was a year ago abt the razer hammerhead v2 and good thing i watched ur review because i was about to buy it and im still wondering if u still recommend the jbl T290 for the price of 500 pesos? if not what earphones should i buy with the budget of 500 pesos only
@@BiboyHaranero will take a great look on this one thank u! tired of using my heavy ass hyperx cloud stinger and i wanna try using earphones for gaming
All would work, yet this depends on some factors such as your mount or distance form your mouth. If desk mounted go for K688 or k658 for the shock mount. If more than 6 inches away from your mouth get the K658
hi, which microphone is better in games/making youtube films? i have budget for 80$ and in my country price this two microphones are the same. Can u help me?
Your k688 has a white noise while listening to the monitoring output jack? The other ones have that also? because mine when i'm using the monitoring output jack, I can hear a white noise on it, that's really annoying .
hmmmm.... took me some time to think lol. in your case I would go for K658. pickup has less bass than the other 2 mics so if you move it close (1 inch away) to your mouth it's bass will not be overpowering. I use the k658 on my gaming PC.
@@BiboyHaranero Thanks. Can I ask your gain and windows mic level setting? I have the gain knob at the 3 o'clock position and the windows mic level at 100.
@@Logan-lw2mn i always leave my windows mic volume at 100 then depend on the knobs for gain. :) 3 oclock position i would agree is the right gain setting to have at 2 to 4 inches away from the am8
Hello. Thanks for your review. I am form Bangladesh. I want to gift a microphone to my husband. He is a trainer on Udemy. Could you please recommend the best one for him?
Torn between the AM8 and K688, gonna use it mainly for streaming and gaming, and secondary for content creation like gadget reviews. Which one would you recommend
Hello kuys kakarating lang ng am8 ko this day and balak ko sya gamitin for music livestreaming and i have audio mixer and gagamitin ko po sana yung XLR connection ng Fifine am8 ko so pano ko po mapapagana yung lights nya i mean yung connection ng usb type C saan ko po ipluplug? Pwede po ba sa charger??? Tnx
Hi. I also bought Fifine K688 but I don't know why the USBC port is not working properly. Nagpuputol putol yung boses ko and malakas yung noise. Would you know why it is like that? Thanks
I've watched some of the reviews for K688 and some also have a problem using USBC. No problem with xlr. I saw the fifine replied from the comments they said its a unit defect.
would the am8 be better for me? my room is untreated and i’m quite close to my ac (can’t avoid it 🥲) i mostly wanna use this for streaming and recording!
The fact that the K688 was compared against the Shure SM7B so many times. That's saying something.

你的測試是我在youtube上看過最詳細的，感謝你讓我更好選擇麥克風
Your test is the most detailed I have seen on youtube, thank you for making me choose a better microphone
I saw you comment on Lazada so I went here to watch your review

Am8 I feel would be best for female voice. 120db spl is enough unless you have whitney houston's vocal range
@@BiboyHaranero thank you so much for getting back to me quickly! Hehe this really helped with my decision good thing I saw your lazada comment
I had K688 and it was super quiet. I had to send it back.
Which has best backround noise cancellation? The k568 or k688?
k688
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Can you put the AM8 on a shock mount?
There is a shockmount you can buy with a mic thread on it so its universal.
@@BiboyHaranero link?
@@jdogey-qg4wpdid you find it?😢
which one, in your honest opinion, is the best for recording vocals/singing+guitar?
If low/mid vocals, k658 or am8 depending on design preference, if high, k688.
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 help.
My memory says they do run simultaneously. Lets me test with the K688. I no longer have the AM8 anymore
hello brother! saw your lazada review on am8 and k688! subscribed! may i ask if you replaced the foam filter for the k688 with sm7b foam clone? do you think a sm7b original foam is better than the fake one?
I have not tried the orginal/fake sm7b foam cap.
i got an aftermarket sm7b foam cap though. about half an inch thick
@@BiboyHaranero how is that foam cap treating you? Saw your review for that too bought it too haha
@@pakfumejia6951 its super effective at the cost of a little degrade pickup quality but very unnoticeable.
Its chunky too but I like it

here on the only one store where i find both in stock, AM8 is at 80$ and the k688 at 100$ . So yeah i think it def worth the 20 bucks more ^^

hi, which microphone is better in games/making youtube films? i have budget for 80$ and in my country price this two microphones are the same. Can u help me?
safest bet is the k658 which I use up til today. AM8 has too much bass pickup, k688 lacks gain.
@@BiboyHaranero thx bro i subscribed ur channel
this whole video using usb or xlr? without any eq/processing?
All in USB, no processing

What would you think is the best when using it on a PS5 to reduce background noise but with good quality?
hmmmm.... took me some time to think lol. in your case I would go for K658. pickup has less bass than the other 2 mics so if you move it close (1 inch away) to your mouth it's bass will not be overpowering.
I use the k658 on my gaming PC.
@@BiboyHaranero thanks I appreciate it. Not many people I’ve seen talk about dynamic mic on console only really condensers.

Hello. Thanks for your review. I am form Bangladesh. I want to gift a microphone to my husband. He is a trainer on Udemy. Could you please recommend the best one for him?
if he has a deep voice, i recommend the K658.
If his voice is mid to high, k688.
which is just better in general i cant tell the k688 or the am8?
Depends on use case. K658 has the clearest crispest pickup at the cost of SPL

Don’t think it matters too much but a charger might give it to much power a pc or console like PlayStation or Xbox usb connection would be better
