Now I am sure that I'm gonna buy this one. Thank you. Your mic review is the best I've ever seen.

You sounded like the portal 2 robot

you don't have to use any of that junk just stick the USB-C Hollyland, M2, mic into the pocket3 in then swipe your screen to the left, you will see a mic symbol to the left of the white balance touch the mic symbol and then you will see that the Holly land M2's will work

I have an issue with Fiffine k688 where it's generating a Static Voice, I got it 2 days ago and it was fine for those days. Today it's randomly generating a very loud static think you can help?

Amazing video Dave and i want to ask something Can you do a video about the Fifine M9 Wireless mic ?

how come my AM8 mic kinda has "noise cancellation" when it should not... how can I configure this?

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations on microphones for video presentations for educational purposes.

So this PD100x or PD200x ? Which one I should go for voiceover ?

Hi, I recently bought this mic and an unusual thing is going on , this mic comes with maono link as you showed in the video and works flawlessly. But, now maono added two of this mic in your windows 11 audio setting with new maono link 3 app, which are: Maono AI Mic and nomral Mic which is really funny for me cause the AI one is using shenzhen Driver from maono but the main one which can go up to 24bit is using Windows generic driver. could you pls check this to see this is the case for you too or not? Thank you in advance.

K688 is more of a professional microphone, sounds better too with better looks.

What the heck is an we plug-in and how do I add

would you recommend a fethead with the vocaster one to eliminate the pre amp noise since i wont have to have gain up much at all? since i hate the hiss, with the k688?

The best value would go to the XM8500 IMO, the muddiness is just lower end bass which can be mitigated by moving a bit further away from the mic. or use eq to lower the bass frequencies. The Fifines are great too, but one thing I am not certain is their QA and longevity.

Way too expensive. The AM 8 has really good quality just like the one you're talking on right now. I got the tip for the AM 8 from you. It sounds really good on my podcasts and even has the warm sound to it

I’m considering purchasing a microphone for ASMR and voiceover videos, after watching your content, I’ve been looking into the Fifine AM8 and the PD100X. Are there any other good recommendations under $60 that you would suggest?

He is biased and fully sponsored by fifine, Don't believe him

Hi dave, pls notice me. I have a pd400x I want to use the xlr, im debating for fifine sc3 or sc1 or mybe maono g1 neo. Im a gamer and want to have a crispy sound that has less distortion. Thank you and more power brother.

Hey! Loved your video i have a question I wanna do voice over voices but I don't know if I should get the maono pd200x or f The fifine tank 3 which should I get?

Bought this mic after your review,year ago,love it,sounds incredible with dsp interface

Idk what one to get so plz tell me what one u prefer, i like the clarity of the am8 but the looks of the k688, i like them both a lot and i am wondering what u think is better

I am looking for a great mic for gaming but i dont eant one over $100 so what would be the best one

Thinking in the voice over field, I use a usb mic -Yeti Nano- and I want to be more pro (not Neumann pro, but decent pro ah), do you recomend me this kit, or would you go with something like scarlet 4th gen and a rode nt1? I'm thinking in something that last me more years until I needed to make a big big jump.

I want to stream on facebook and I live in a noisy place, which one should I get? AM8 or k6?

Matching your mouse, that's a nice touch. Not enough to replace anything from Earthworks, much less the Ethos.

Your voice is naturally in the key of A lol.

Dave, do you like saying fifine? Lol

the finfine is grinding my ass💀

A note on the headphone output on the Minifuse: It has ample power (the demo doesn't really demonstrate this though given the headphones used aren't particularly difficult to drive), however it is a fairly high noise output. If you're using sensitive gear like IEMs, you will hear a hissing noise. Which is the reason I returned my Minifuse. It's not an issue if you plan on using low sensitivity over ear headphones, but something to keep in mind. Also Arturia's customer support is top class. Very knowledgeable and lovely to deal with, some of the best I've experienced. If they release an updated Minifuse that fixes the issues I have, I will definitely consider it.

8:32 thats asmr

Nice,,, very helpful. I'm going to buy tiny 2 lite this week

Thanks for the review!! tiny webcam looks so good!!

do you think that this mic would be compatible for podcasting?

have you ever made a review where you accualy didnt like the product ?

Dave, Man I really love watching your content! Love from India, Hoping to get some help in fl studio with the EQ's, Can we get in touch :) ?

U got so many mics can i get one of the old ones :(

May i ask do you prefer the maono pd100x the fifine am8 or the feelworld pm1?

PLEASE make a updated Maono link software video with the PD400x showcasing your preferred custom EQ settings, limiter, compressor, noise gate (if you pictured yourself in a world with only USB)! I beg you :D

Yeah, the AT2020 wasn't really designed for podcasting and stuff like that. It's more for music recordings (vocals), for the most part. It was good enough for Bille Eilish for her first album and her vocals sound great. It's a pretty damn good at that price point. The SM58 is a workhorse, a great mic in its own right. I think everyone should have at least one in their arsenal. Having said that, there are countless, much better sounding microphones at the same/similar price point. I encourage people not to just go with what most people say (the SM58 is all they know so that's what gets recommended a lot). When you really get into AB-ing the SM58 with a lot of other mics, you realize there are other mics out there lol. And that the 58 sounds fairly muddy in comparison to tons of mics for a similar price. But it can be made to sound great and sounds decent with almost anyone's voice. I'd go with the SM Beta 58A over it, though, because it has a brighter, more open sound with a little shimmer in the top end. But the SM58 has graced millions of stages and a ton of recordings and can be made to sound fantastic.

Whether or not you'd use the Hi Pass filter on the SM7B depends on the voice put being with it. For instance, your voice doesn't sound good with the Hi Pass filter on because it naturally has a lot of piercing high mid and top end frequencies that benefit from some low mids and bass frequencies. But if it's a person with a naturally boomy bass-heavy voice, it might work just fine to help alleviate overall muddiness in the lower end of things. So it really depends on the particular voice and how close to the mic that person is singing or speaking as well. Nothing in this vid screams that the AT 2040 is misunderstood. For podcasting, almost nobody talks right up on the mic like that. It's just not natural. The AT2040 is supposed to be a Broadcast type mic but doesn't really cut it. And nobody is going to clumsily be that close to the mic on a podcast so this is a no from me. But I will admit that when you got closer it did sound 100% better and less shrill. Another thing to consider is that every mic is not for every voice and I'm sure this microphone will work nicely for some people.

I rly had a bad connection issue with the fifine a8. I tried everything but ended up returning it to fifine. The mic quality was really that good tho

it sounds like you're saying "fine fine"

Fantastic review! I was thinking of getting this exact same mic for recording, but i saw some reviews about it being great for its price point only thing was that it wasnt as good for recording. I would like to hear your opinion as if this would be a great microphone for someone who just started.

I was about to buy the pd200x but hey the pd400x went down for $100/5k pesos in Shopee PH. A real bang in the buck. Pretty much a good upgrade from my bundle condenser of Manocaster E2. Thanks for this review, sir! <3
