Amazon sells many cheap USB mics which can make it hard to find the best USB mic for your budget. Most of these USB microphones are from cheap brands, except for the Razer Seiren Mini. Coming from razer, it's surprizing that it isn't overpriced, and on top of that, it's said to be one of the best budget microphones so I was really excited to test it out.

IF THE VIDEO FEELS WEIRD SOMETIMES, HERE'S WHY:
I included a bunch of amazon screenshots etc & got an email that showing amazon prices/screenshots is not allowed so I had to cut them all out.
As a result, the video has weird cuts, music switches etc, however, no information has been cut out so the info is still solid.
Cheers
How is showing amazon prices/screenshots is not allowed? That's definitely fair use! This video is seriously 10/10 on for a review video!
@@Coz131 Because Amazon is a marketplace and prices/vendors/listings change all the time. It's pretty lame because some other creators get away with it but ye..
You can tell how hard you worked on this video😁Thank u so much it helped a bunchh
Mm me I’m ok
Thank you for the video good sir I just purchased the razer but could you possibly tell me how long the USB cord is on it I cant seem to find any info online
Most people covering these microphones have a clear benefit from recommending a microphone but you compared all the options side by side. You have clearly done great work and I hope this video gets the views it deserves.
his 2nd most viewed vid
The fact that the Sudotack is a $50 mic AND it incudes a pretty good boom arm which brings the actual mic price down around $15 - $20 means that the mic itself is around $25 - $30 and it competes with the blue yeti is insane
you don't know that
@@patayder566 I do, because my friend has a blue yeti and I have the sudotack, they very easy compete, and it sounds crazy but they do
@@imilkpigeons4881 it doesent sound crazy because the blue yeti sucks lmao
I too think they compete in sound quality. It even sounds pretty close to the Yeti X which is high priced.
@@notnicknamed blue yeti is what makes us producers scream into a pillow.... its devoid of ANY proper quality
This is so amazing and ExACTLY what I've been looking for in terms of Microphone testing. Thank you for putting the time and money into this for us, it really means a lot!!!
Wow, this is absolutely one of the best budget friendly reviews on mics! Thank you for taking the time to review all of these and making our purchase buying easy!
The Sudotack and Razer is the best budget mic for this video in my opinion
true!
I would say that the Sudotack is by far the best and most practical of those.
The Razer one seems to be kinda in the way when playing and it's not really good enough for creating content like podcasts etc. The Sudotack not only sounds the best of them, but has an arm delivered with it, which makes it easier to place at you desk. So this would definitely be my choice.
And not to forget the sudotack comes in a FULL kit which makes it just a “too good to be true” deal
@@juicy_oranges5529 the razer one sounds better when you have it closer to your mouth, i use one with a boom arm and it sounds alot different from when you use the table stand, i'd say it sounds the best when its closer to your mouth,
bruh they arent budget mic its litteraly very costly 9000+rs
Mate! You Explained Very well 👌
Glad you liked it!
Awesome vid what do you think about the HyperX Quadcast S ?
Perfekt 👍👍
e
I am astonished as to how great of a video this is, it exceeded my expectations and showed me way more as to what i was looking in a video for reviewing different set of mics.
Thank you for this very informative yet brief overview of some entry level mics! I could hear the obvious difference in quality amongst the mics tested, but, being new to this, I found that all the mics, the "trash" ones included, were perfectly fine for lower budgets. I bought a mic "kit" very similar to the Sudotek one you featured with boom arm and accessories. I guess I will start to notice a difference once I've gone through the basic levels of voice recording. Again, thank you for this video!
Testing while talking and typing simultaneously was the best showcase of these mics and I wanna thank you for that ! Amazing review.
Thanks so much for this video! I heard people talking about the razor sirein but now I’m sure that’s the one I want. The voice quality definitely sounds the best! I’ll be using it for guest podcast episodes, UA-cam voice over and freelance voice over work 👌
You totally convinced me to buy the SUDOTACK one, it sounds really good and without white noise, it's perfect !
Seiren Mini/Sudotack/Fifine sounded the best for me
btw, your voice seems fitting for a villain in a super hero movie
that's the first anyone has ever told me that
@@TheVideoNerd waarschijnlijk omdat je een nederlands accent hebt man oom
I agree. I have the Fifine and am happy with it but kind of want the Sudotack, now! LOL
@@bigmangissa ja idd ik hoorde het ook
😂 lol true
Thanks for the review. I think this actually is the best review. You can get in-depth information and multiple scenario use case. Great stuff.
Damn bro, this is the best Mic video I have seen, love how you switch them out so I can hear each one and background sounds. Amazing!
Got myself a Sudotack and it was a very worth it purchase for an upgrade from my cheap earbuds mic. I didn't buy the boom arm version however, since my table doesn't allow the boom to stick anywhere on it. But there's a version where it comes with a stand similar to Razer's. Thanks for the mic review btw! It helped me a lot
Is it cheaper with no stand or boom arm?
This was a great review and video/editing! Thanks for putting so much time into it, I found it really useful and now I'm going to buy a Razer (using your link of course). Do you need a pop filter for the Razer? I noticed you didn't mention anything about one, so I'm assuming it won't make much difference on this type of mic?
I just paid for the Fifine, mainly because it came as a bigger package with a pop filter, shock mount and boom arm which made it simple. I chose it based on the multitude of reviews online and after seeing how it can sound with some OBS tweaking. Got to say props on the review, very in depth and accurate - will definitely recommend you to anyone who asks me about mics for getting started.
so can you share the setting for this mic? I also bought one but I feel like it's not like what I've heard from other people review it
I have the fifine studio bundle, it's a nice compact and durable mic for the price. The high end is a little harsh to me but it's definitely one of the better USB mics in terms of sound quality
@@Chinhnguyen0497 get voicemeeter, you came make any mic sounds 10x better trust me
a while back I got the fifine one... no luck with it. After a couple of years it got this really annoying buzzing sound that was very loud. Currently looking for a new mic for about 50$ (currently I'm using a shitty karaoke mic...)
@@cobbomusic I use NVIDIA Broadcast to handle noise reduction. And it's routed through Voicemeeter
As an audio engineer this was one of the best videos I've ever watched. The Sudo-tack was the clear winner for me.
Do you think Sudo-tack is suitable for recording singing?
@@gymnopedist6211 yea i use something similar to the st800 for music and its rlly good, obviously you’re gonna end up putting a preset on your vocals in whatever DAW you use so it would sound good anyway
Bless you for a list of budget microphones that are ACTUALLY budget! I found so many "budget mic" lists where they were recommending ones that cost $120! As a first time podcaster I just couldn't afford to shell out more than $50 or so for something I was doing just for fun with my friend and not expecting to make any money from.
120$ for usb mic is not worth it at that price better get xlr mic
What's your podcast?
I have the Sudotack in a box in my closet lolol. Guess I'm digging it out... So much work seems to have gone into this video. Thank you for the effort.
Bro this is the single most useful most efficient video I’ve ever seen. You’ve saved me not only probably a few hours of research, but also a few hundred dollars. Thank you for this amazing review that pretty much read my mind the entire time and told me exactly to the finest detail what I was looking for 🤝
I had the Tonar Q9 Microphone kit in my cart but after hearing the sudotack, not only is the audio better but it's $12 cheaper and comes with everything the tonar does. Thank you so much for this review!! Big thumbs up.
This was extremely informative and took out a ton of guesswork for me. Thank you!!
The sudotak sounds the best in my opinion
Bought the Razer Seiren as my budget upgrade almost a year ago. I did it just as an inbetween till I got a better mic. I since haven't even thought about upgrading and I've definitely made my money back after using it for this long. For a long time solution, maybe not. But as a simple under 50 dollar solution that will hold you over till you're ready to buy a bigger and more robust Set up? Absolutely worth it. Fantastic video! Definitely reaffirmed my love for the Razer Serien Mini. Cheers.
I was looking for a microphone for recording and doing interviews online that wasn't too high in budget. This definitely helped and I ended up buying the razer seiren mini, 100% the best purchase I made in a while. 10/10 for being affordable and still having good quality without a cheap feeling and or sound.
I appreciate you doing this. I was able to make the informed decision.
I have been looking everywhere for best budget mics and this video helps a lot. It helps me to compare the sounds betweeen the different mics and I might consider buying the Sudotack as it sounds amazing in my opinion. I have been using my cheap budget headphone mic and it sounds horrible. Thanks again!
Thanks to this video I was able to find the right mic for me. This was by far the best video comparison for me and an actual budget mic. Decided on the Sudo will help with teaching lessons and the arm makes a great esthetic to my desk setup
Great video, I loved the presentation and information shared. Thank you for all the hard work (can appreciate all the time setup/filming/setup) to show the comparisons.
Definitely getting the Sudotack. It sounds very clear, and the fact that it includes everything you would really want in a beginner setup makes it the bast value in my opinion.
Thank you for making this video, it has been more useful than any of the other ones
Edit: got it for Christmas and it works really well. Easy to assemble and sounds great for the price
If you use it for gaming? is it good, do your friends hear anything bad from it, is the quality good overall? is it worth $100?
@@SEBTIG 50$ *
@@SEBTIG its 50 dollars
@@Caseoh_Music my currency was 100 :)
Huh, the sudotrack sounds really great actually
i use a mic called the Ak60, very similar.
Ikr, it was my favorite the entire time
@@affection3498 lol i just bought it, im ex
Excited
@@affection3498 any issues ?
New subscriber! Fantastic presentation! Clearly laid out and many thanks for the help. Do you have a video on setting up OBS with the NVidia broadcaster software?
thx so much for making this video! i wanted to go out to a gamestop tomorrow to buy a mic since it was the closest store to my house.. and this video really helped me out. i was originally thinking of buying a blue snowball there until i came across this video and i'd say the razer sieren really changed my mind
The Sudotack ST-800 sounds BY FAR the best imo. Thanks for the video, this was super helpful.
Was actually gonna get the Sudotack but it is too large for my compact environment (shared desk with somebody), ended up getting Razer Seiren Mini but it's still very crisp sound quality!
awesome choice!
I have the razer siren mini
@@fadez292 is it good?
@@matcho23 It’s Awesome!
@@fadez292 is it good for asmrv
Thank you SOOOO much!! I'm setting up to start recording audio books and the mic on my headset is no where near what I need. There are so many options on the market and other reviews are talking about singing and breath shields >.< Your video was a fantastic simple side by side, way easier to hear the difference AND you point out the important factors of distance and equipment! THANK YOU
I'm so impressed with this video and the amount of work ou put into it! You compared all the mics, were honest, put them on the arms to test them, checked their digital profiles - great video! Thank you for covering all these mics!!
I bought the Razer Seirin Mini recently and used it for the first time yesterday. It was easy to set up although I had to adjust the gain in Shotcut for more volume. I handheld it about 6 to 7 inches from my mouth and it was great with no background noise at all. It has a nice resonance to it which suits my voice so I am happy with my purchase.
did you buy a boom arm? if yea which one
No. I put the mic on a box near my mouth. I use the mic for voiceovers. I don't appear in the vids so no need for anything pretty.@@vinymontana8838
This is how a comparison should be made. Realistic, sincere, tested in many variables. So I subscribed.
(p.s. I know my audio and have to say I concluded in 100% the same results and observations as I watched. Plus, I was tiny disappointed by Blue Snowball, expected more)
Amazing video. The continuous speech during the audio comparison is better than anything else on youtube
Thanks for this laborious comparison. It might help many people to improve their audio and I appreciate such an effort.
I've been using the Sudotack for a year or two now and as you proved in this video, it's one of the best budget microphones out there.
As a BBC sound eng. for the last 30 years I am really impressed with your presentation , clarity and truthfulness and, above all...NO STUPID AND ANNOYING MUSIC!!! Thank you and good luck with your future venture!
WOW this video is so informative im not sure i’ll even NEED to watch any other budget usb mic reviews. amazing job! thank you so so much for this in-depth video! if i end up buying any of these microphones i will most definitely use ur affiliate link-u definitely deserve it!
This video was great! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Yeah the Sudotack takes the win for absolute sure.
Have been looking for one quite some time for now... this really helped me in making a decision, thanks man great video I really enjoyed the effort you put in this!!!
That’s great to hear! Thanks!
A lot of work went into this video. Thank you!
I was needing a new mic and the moment i heard the sudotack, i immediately went and bought one. Thank you for making such an honest and fair comparison video
I’ve been using the Raleno M30 for a while now, and I think it still holds up as a good starter mic, but I definitely agree with the stand issue.

Amazing video brother, thank you so much for putting this together!!
this video is from 2 years ago and still holds up incredibly well, I thank you for making all the comparison in real life scenarions rather than on ideal settings, specially when these microphones are meant under most circumstances to be used on (relatively) noisy environments when you take the pc keyboard and mouse into account. It helped me to decide on the seinen mini+arm
Absolutely, great video
I personally have a Fifine and honestly it sounds great, since the segment with the fifine on the boom arm was short, there was more emphasis on the sudotack. However with a simple pop filter the fifine sounds amazing even without a boom arm. Especially since it's like half the price.
bruh that sudotack st 800 sounds soooo good so crisp and even makes you sound kinda like deep voice
great review bro. thanks for addind the mics with background noise to get an idea of it 👍
This was a great comparison video, and I could easily decide on which mic would work best for me and my budget !
You do so much work! Thank you!!!
the sudotack seems like the best deal, simply due to the amazing sound quality for the price, and the extra items it comes with
Exactly. I'm creating two youtube channels for experiments, one will be a UFO channel where I need to use my voice (FK robot voice lol). I think this is the best deal for a beginner until they can grab something better / more expensive. Plus, if the boom quality is fair, it may be usable for another mic.
agreed
The Video was really great!
I have a Rode Procaster myself on the PSA1 with a WS2 Pop filter on it. It is powered by an Audient iD14 Interface.
I was so excited to see how my Mic compares in sound to those cheaper ones!
Made my day!
Thank for your effort on this topic! Helped me a lot!
Great video. You do a great job of explaining the plus and minuses of each microphone. I agree with your assessment and think the Razer Seiren Mini is the best sound. Thank You for the time and effort you put into the video.
I’ve been using the sudotack st-800 for a week. Totally worth it! If you’re planning to buy any of these mics, you should get the sudotack since it’s a complete package and the sound quality sounds like an expensive mic.
I just ordered it. I hope it will be great.
Does it pick up loud noises? I use a open back headphone and mechanical keyboard for gaming and am kinda afraid that it will pick the noises up and annoy my friends.
@@joostfloot5279 It is possible that the mic would pick up the noises from your open back headphones. As for the keyboard noises, I use an anne pro 2 keyboard with brown switches so I don’t really have a problem with that. The mic does pick up some loud noises in the background such as dogs barking or door knocking.
This was one of the better mic reviews I've seen done! Great job!
Awesome video. I'm trying to set up for streaming and this really helped me
I'm getting either the sudotack or the razer...hm its going to help massively for my UA-cam so thanks a bunch man!
such an underated channel im subbing
Great video, I liked.. subscribed.. and now I'm going to buy a sudotack. Best cheap mic review I've found in the past week of looking this stuff up. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much, this video really helped me decide! I'm gonna go with the Seiren Mini
youtube needs more people like this, you put so much effort into making such a high quality video. It's very refreshing to see a content creator care so much about the quality of the video. Keep up the good work
(i know i am very late to this video)
Already found my favourite, the Sudotack St-800, it just sounds the cleanest in my opinion
Some of these mics (including the fifine) have separate bundles which include the arm, so if you want an arm, you don't always have to buy them separately
Thank you so much!! This helped me a lot on decing which to get, I already had my eye on the Razer mini glad to know I was right hehe.
Thank you for this! Its what i was looking for!
I already have the sudotack and I would say its amazing.
Because I watch a lot on my phone and typically, and safely, listen while I drive, Are usually don’t press the like button. In this instance because he made clear how hard you worked on this video and how beneficial it was for me to listen I definitely hit the like button! Don’t ever be scared to ask something of your listeners!!
Subscribed for the microphone reviews and purchases, i hope it helps, there arent many review vids like this, GJ
I sat through the whole video even tho I had a great mic because I was checking this out for a friend and just really enjoyed the info!
Thanks! Subbed liked!
I bought the sudotack thanks to this video!
Edit: i can say that it's actually REALLY good!
sudotack & fifine & seiren are the best options in my opinion
go for the sudotack since the price is friendly and it offers a stand aswell which helps you a lot tbh
I want to buy sudo and can u use it on Xbox?
i have a really loud pc will the sudotack help with some of that?
Thanks for the effort buddy. Really really apprecaite it!
Your videos are so helpful, especially since I just started streaming on UA-cam
I like the sound of the FiFine the most. Maybe a little biased, since I also own one for two years. But I prefer the flat sound. Sounds more pleasant in Zoom/Discord calls and it gives you way more flexibility in post production
OK, I liked your video because I know how hard to make a good video.
Same! I already had a FiFine so I was just curious to see how it compared. But the amount of effort here is incredible!
Great video dude thank you! This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks!
I was leaning towards Razer Seiren, and after watching your review I was convinced!
This channel is too underrated for that astonishing quality. You deserve more!!!!
true
Agreed, crazy good quality
The Sudotack is insane! I was going to get a blue yeti but wanted to see some cheaper options. Definitely getting a Sudotack
update??
@xleah the link for the mic doesn't bring you directly to the mic, but a page with different mics on it, so I'm just trying to find it
What effects did you apply to all the audios?
(Normalization and what else?)
Mate! Instant like, the way you start video and explanation is soo good.
There's a clone of the Raleno Microphone callled the Drelan Microphone, they both are the same just different names, they both have really good quality and and both a priced around $29 - $30

Great vid, great comparisons. I really liked the Sudotack surprisingly followed by the Razer Seiren. The Fifine was disappointing given its popularity ..
Thanks, a thorough and complete test. Nice job.
The amt of effort in this video is priceless. Earned a like
The editing 💀💀💀
I was surprised at the tonor tc-77 I own one and I feel like mine sounds much better than the one used in this video
FANTASTIC video! The amount of work that went into this is insane! Thank you for going to the trouble!
