I think your title should have been "Are cheap mics just Fifine now?"
Awww...missed that
Tom Buck, is that you?
I use this a lot for my b-roll mic when I want to grab a mic and not even worry about adding processing. So good out of the box. Not a “forever mic” but a great mic to pull out of the tool box for some fun every now and then!!!
I use this microphone for streaming. It excels at minimizing background noise and, interestingly, it sounds more like a condenser mic than a dynamic one. Regarding condenser microphones, my top choice is the NZXT Capsule Mini, and for dynamic microphones, I prefer the Fifine AM8.
Seen multiple reviews have issues with noise rejection/handling. It's putting me off due to my sim rig noise
It sounds fantastic. If a 15 million subscriber UA-camr switched to this, they wouldn't lose any followers
Just one of the best "cheap mics" out there right now. Looks incredible, sounds good straight out of capsule and... yes, the RGB. And those clown noses. Just wow.
I just bought a FiFine 669d and I absolutely love it. I’ve had dozens of mics, all of the popular ones but this is sooooo much better. I absolutely love the sound. I added a shock mount and it’s perfect.
I love this mic for how it sounds and what it is. I keep my “good”mics at my studio and the AM8 at home. It’s great for Zoom meetings (the mute button is handy for using instead of hitting the on-screen icon with a mouse and cursor), and sounds good enough for recording voiceovers in a pinch.
Just keep it on a stand or boom arm and don’t fiddle with it.
I remember back in the 90s when the Rode NT-1, Oktava 219, AKG c3000, and CAD E-100 came out. Those where game changers, because everything else was thousands of dollars. What's happening now is nuts!
Wait a minute, usb mics existed in the 90's?
??
None of those are usb mics
Thank you for the video
so I was looking for a podcast / recording mic for a long time and I end up with too mics, The "AKG D5" and "SE V7". Which one is better for the male voice, And is there a better mic in the same price range?
For about ~$50 it’s a GREAT sounding mic!
I have been using this microphone for the last 2 weeks. And I'm glad I bought it. It sounds so good. I have it in white and its so pretty. I use it in XLR mode alongside the Fifine SC3 mixer
I have this mic. Among other Fifine mics for budget purposes. The AM8 sounded way better than I expected! The other more recent Fifine mics I purchased sound so good I can’t stop using one I particular. They are definitely a great solution for good sound on a tight budget!
Well said. Great video as usual.
Regardless of the price point....which do you prefer, this or the Maono pd 200x??
I like the sound of this
I bought the AM8 and it just did not fit my voice well, but the K699D and the K688 are amazing and fit my voice WAY better as well as the Tonnor TD510. Take away, find the mic that fits your voice no matter the brand name or the price. There are a great many "Budget Mics" that are very good now and will serve well for quit awhile.
tengo un fifine k669b y llevo 4 años ocupandolo sin problemas
Glad to see this one!
Not sure if I'm the only one hearing it but this mic makes your voice sound little robotic, almost digital instead of having a smoother sound to it
i hear it too
Is the headphone jack a mic only output (just from what the mic hears), or can you get the output of the computer through it? That would be cool if you could.
I just picked up one of these today and the headphone jack does work with your outputs. You will have to go to your setting to turn off the playback which the setup manual will walk you through.
I absolutely agree!
I’m disappointed that you turned off the RGB lighting part way thru the video as it means you are not accessing 50% of the value.
Well...you see...it doesn't work on xlr...soooooo
@@DarkCornerStudiosSurely phantom power was designed for RGB lighting - shhhelz what was Ffine thinking!!
@andrewc965 that's actually a fun point...I should have tested that
@DarkCornerStudios I'll.let younoff the hook as I'm on holidays in the subtropics and couldn't give a hoot! Happy Canadian Snow Day - thats everyday from an Australian perspective BTW.
@@DarkCornerStudios So does it work on usb only? Im ordering this mic and refunding the tank3 after seeing your comparison 😂
Great video as always! What's the move? Podmic usb or vocaster one + podmic / other xlr? Can't make up my mind 😅
I think what they are doing is proving that most other mics are way overpriced. I have to remember that these companies are spending much on product development.
The mic is really good I just wished it got rid of the big gain knobs
Yeah...they aren't all that good anyways
you sound pretty good to me, got good body sound to it, the range sound good!! now as far as you hitting the table that did pick up a few times!! but for podcasting this would be a good deal!! let's remember Michael Jackson recorded Triller album on the SM7 in 1982, The listeners don't care as long as they can hear what your saying the rest don't matter lol!!!!
Excellent video again.
Not for me - but - I say, if it works and sounds "good" enough for most, these days, does it matter for the masses or those wanting "entry level". If it's hidden from shot, does it really matter?
If it works for you - it just works.
This is a good starter for some 14 year old gamer...lol
@@DarkCornerStudios Couldn't agree more.
Personally, I rather see a company giving instructions to use a free program to add noise gates, than having them create a companion app themselves, that is probably a bit subpar and not the time of effort put in it that it needs to be good. I rather see them spend that money on making the best possible mic for the price point.
When I bought my USB record player it had instructions on how to record with audacity, not only it worked perfectly without the company having to invest in writing a program, it also introduced my in a graleat (certainly at that time) free audio program.
However maybe people want companion apps because audio routing in windows is horrible. But even then, there are some very usable programs
well there you have it a new category for those "adult" sites, clown noise ASMR
I WILL BE THE FIRST!!
Well…those disposable lighters served wonders for a whole generation. So there’s that 😂 not even that…those disposable lighters were more dependable than the new ones 😌
Ah.... pleasantly disappointing, if there is such a thing.
