Thank you for the video. I actually ordered the AM8T and a mixer from AliExpress, and those two microphones arrived. I tested them all day and came to the same conclusion, but since I'm not an expert on the subject, I preferred to watch this video. I'll keep the AM8T and sell the Tank 3.
I do agree that the Tank3 has a better aesthetic. It looks more professional with the subtle design. The AM8 honestly still looks really good though too. Probably better on stream/video with the RGB off. I think the AM8 is the better choice. Sound quality both are very similar for the most part. The AM8 definitely has the better bass and less hiss. And on top of that the $30 lower price tag makes it more competitive. Especially if your on a budget and don't want to skimp out on quality it seems like it would not let you down.
@@TekToyzGaming I already ordered one the other day. But it's still interesting to hear the differences between it and other mics. Probably if I hadn't gone for the AM8 I would have gone for the K688.
I want to buy a mic for voice over for my youtube videos thru macbook pro. I am confused with K688/ AM8/Tank 3. Which one I should go with??? Please advice.
@@mishra.shailendra part of the answer depends on your voice type. If you have a very deep voice I would say the tank 3. If high pitch and high sibilance the k688. Am8 is more balanced.
@@mishra.shailendra can probably tell by asking someone you know. Or just listen to your voice in a recording. I have somewhat of a tenor voice with sharp s’ so I produce more sibilance than I I like.
Actually, it's a pretty easy choice, at least from the point of the manufacturer lol. For VO, if your voice is not super bassy and super deep, it's an easy win for the K688 especially when you're not quite concerned about construction. If you have a harsh and high-pitched sound and don't have a requirement for the shape, consider the AM8 over the K688. At last, for VO artists with a warm and deep sound but don't want themselves to sound too muddled, Tank3 is the perfect fit.
@@TekToyzGaming Doesn’t matter! It was great! Great video! I have the AM8. I lent it out to a friend. But it does sound oddly good for such a lower cost mic. But, Fifine has the niche for that! K669D is still my favorite!
@@TekToyzGaming ah thank your ! i have the canon EOS Rebel T 5 , is there much of a difference ? and how would i be able to use the camera for streaming ? and what tripod do you use ? the DSLR Camera Gimbal?
@@demonickitten3709 I’ve actually upgraded to the canon r50 for its improved 4K capabilities. For streaming you’ll need a capture card. I mount my camera on a standard tripod. Nothing too special.

@@4lexisJR if I had to keep one it would be the am8.
Very nice, I have a am8, their song is very good
@@resistencia_0 yea the am8 is in the top 5 of budget mics.

@@MrSupersonic2012 yup the am8 is still the most competitive budget mic. You see the light!

@@MrSupersonic2012 the k688 is a good one. You can’t go wrong with either, unless you want RGB.
hey what mixer did u use for both the mics?
@@Mango-xs2tv I used the au-am100 by Maono.

@@TheClayAlanChronicles2024 k669D is another good one. It’s the little brother of the tank 3.
The AM8 clears!!

Thanks for the feedback.

what camera are you using in this video
btw i love your review videos they help me so much , thank you!
also could you do a review on Fifine ampligame am8 rgb vs hyperx quadcast s or comment here for mic stats/opinions
Thanks. I am using a mixer of 2 cameras - The canon sl3 and iPhone 15. I would prefer the Fifine am8 as it also has xlr.
