I just bought the FiFine AM8 Microphone on Amazon a few Weeks ago for $5.00 Dollars off to use for my UA-cam Channel and when I did a comparison Video between my Google Pixel 8 Pro Microphone that I used to use and the FiFine AM8 Microphone that I use now it completely blew me away! I've also seen other UA-cam Videos saying that this sounds just as good as some of the more expensive Microphones and I agree on that! You definitely don't have to spend a couple of Hundred Dollars to get a good Microphone nowadays.
Hello Brandon! I do own a fifine K688 and i like it a lot, been using it exclusively for a year. Between the AM8 , the K688 and the Tank 3 from fifine, which do you prefer and why? Price difference here are not relevant for me as it is somewhat small. By the way , if you sell the k688 mod, i am buying!
I’m torn between the Fifine AM8 and K688, thoughts? I play pc games a lot with my speakers on instead of a headset and my current mic be picking up everything lol love the vids!
One thing i never really understood is eq, everyone just ways do it until it sounds right. But I don’t know what “right” sounds like. Do you have any sourses and want to make a video on that?
Seen a couple of your vids on mics and the one that has been on my mind and that I will buy soon is the maono pd400x. But if I didn’t have the extra money then forsure fifine am8. Good vid 🤙
Which mic should i get in the $185-275 range AKG P420 ($185) AT2050 ($200), LCT 440 ($250) AT4040 ($275) I'm a standard - low tenor voice. Using ONLY for vocals to make music, not for instruments.
"Hi, can you please help me? I have an untreated room but will be recording at night. I plan to record podcast-style content and voice documentaries, using USB mode directly connected to my laptop, with possible voice editing later. Which is better for me, the AM8 or K688? I want clear and comforting sound quality, similar to true crime documentaries."
I never said it was bad, but for professional applications, it makes a difference. Can the human ear of an adult hear above that frequency? In a small percentage of people, sure, but it’s more about the information it captures and how it can be manipulated for audio mastering. Again, and as I said in the video, it will not be an issue for content creation at all, but it is something that does separate the capsules and represents a better quality capsule for professional recordings.
not going too lie i like the sound on the fifine am8 it sounds good and better than a 400 mic .the sure mic hurts my ears the fifine mic does not hurt my ears please uise the fifine mic from now all

Yo I catch your streamers a lot and love the nerdy lens talk!
Shure is definitely better. But if you cant afford it the Am8 is good for the price.

@@Ayenooohey which mic did you buy
@@Ayenooo just use an IEM instead of speakers if you don't like headsets, especially since you can plug them to these microphones.
One thing i never really understood is eq, everyone just ways do it until it sounds right. But I don’t know what “right” sounds like. Do you have any sourses and want to make a video on that?
Yes please darkness 😁
high pass filter at 80hz to remove low end room noise and -3dB cuts at 200hz and 500hz to reduce muddy and boxy sound are a good place to start
Hey! Which one should I buy fifne k688, am8 or pd400x don’t think about price. And yes great video thx. I hope you will reply😅
PD400X. And thanks!
@@DarkenedCyrus thank you so much
So sorry but one more question if i replace pd400x with pd200x. Because i have just checked there was a typing error
Seen a couple of your vids on mics and the one that has been on my mind and that I will buy soon is the maono pd400x. But if I didn’t have the extra money then forsure fifine am8. Good vid 🤙
Nice mics but I love my beacn mic
Wish the original k688 had this shock mount but it would be a 1:1 copy then..
Agreed
Which mic should i get in the $185-275 range
AKG P420 ($185)
AT2050 ($200),
LCT 440 ($250)
AT4040 ($275)

Both are going to offer similar performance. IMO, go K688 for the better out of box sound.
@DarkenedCyrus thankyou ✨
bro what do u prefer am8 between am8 and pd400x don’t think about price
Pd400x
what do you use for face cam
Sony FX30 with Sigma 16mm f1.4
With is up with mic people talking about 16khz being worse than 20khz? You ain't even gonna hear anything beyond 16khz.
I never said it was bad, but for professional applications, it makes a difference. Can the human ear of an adult hear above that frequency? In a small percentage of people, sure, but it’s more about the information it captures and how it can be manipulated for audio mastering.

Is it me or does the SM7B sound muffled ?
It's not EQ'd, which is what you hear most of the time.
not going too lie i like the sound on the fifine am8 it sounds good and better than a 400 mic .the sure mic hurts my ears the fifine mic does not hurt my ears please uise the fifine mic from now all
the eqing is terrible I was like what is that pre amp
If you could only have one mic. Which one would it be?
@@TMVVisualMedia telefunken u47 + u48 set
Amazing video i think FIFINE AM8 it's better then SHURE SM7B because it's above 50-60 $ and that is a great deal
I have the AM8 and it is fantastic
