I have the Siren Mini, and i'll say if you have it on your desk and not on an arm, then the built in shock mount makes a big difference compared to the HyperX.
Yes I own the Siren Mini, it sure does pack a punch for how little it is LOL. But it is an amazing mic, but like you said if it had a mute button it would be 5x times better
maonos 50 dollar mic kit is amazing i used it for music and i wasn't disappointed. $50 for a mic, pop filter ,wind sock, boom arm and 2 Velcro straps for cable managing is def worth.
I picked up the HyperX Solocast for just $35. Took some of the savings and bought a boom arm with shock mount for $18. For just $53 total I feel I've got a super solid and affordable setup.
@@jaydenlaskowski9878 the mic boom ended up being garbage. At this time I'm just using the stand the mic came with. Not sure if I'm going to explore other mic booms after all.
I actually use the siren mini with my PS5! Since the controller has a mute button on it, the lack of a mute on the mic itself is no big deal. I will say though it does pick up a few background noises sometimes but overall it's much better than built in mics
I tried the ModMic and V-Moda BoomPro and the sound from the V-Moda is clearer without being tinny and sounds better overall than the ModMic. It can be a bit fiddly but nothing too bad. The ModMic seems to be overrated when it comes to headset mics but it is better than most mics that ship with headsets nowadays.
Great review channel by the way, started watching you about a year ago, and you seem genuinely very enthusiastic about the products you review. Nice to see your channel grow, keep up the good work!
I’m curious how the razer doesn’t sound like a jet engine cause mine does. I’ve replaced the fans, thermal paste and even factory reset. It sounds like this without anything open but if I open the internet or game then here comes the jet engine😂
I know this headset is a bit on the "older" side but could you do a review of the Creative Sound blasterX H6 wireless headset? People have said they are super good for the price but i would love to see your energetic and stinkin' cozy take on em.
My friend uses the Seiren Mini, on discord it actually sounds really good, but apparently when he tries to use it in the voice chats of video games it either sounds terrible or really quiet.
Maybe you should try checking out the FiFine T669 Microphone, it’s comes with its own Mic stand and other stuff, it's price is also 59.99. And I loved the video! Keep it up.
I had the sennheiser gsp 350 and people thought i had a dedicated mic.. now i have a creative omnisound 5.1 paired with epos h3 and beyerdynamic custom game and i get good remarks about the quality of my mic
You should put the mics on a boom arm to test them properly. You should also adjust the gain so they were all similar in volume. Your testing methods make judging the sound quality very difficult.
@@TheTechne Your are contradicting yourself, you put the Snowball on a mic stand and used an amp for the mod mic. So you altered those products. Other mic reviewers boom the mics and adjust the volume so the viewer can tell the difference in sound quality. Also most streamers and TH-camrs boom the mic, so it would be better to test the mic the way it would be used by content creators. I am trying to give you constructive criticism. Check out what other mic reviewers do.
Hey techne i dont want to be annoying asking u alot of questions what do i upgrade first headset or keyboard current g213 headset hyperx stinger core wireless last time i asked what headset u said black shark v2 from ur keyboard comparison u hated razer huntsman mini and love hyperx alloy core 60% what do i upgrade first and is the v2 can it be connected via usb a directly to the ps4
I could be your voice software. Discord, Webex, Zoom etc. A lot of them have an "auto gain function" and background noise reduction, etc. Disable all of those functions in your voice/meeting software it should fix it.
I need a good mic for my GC7 sound blaster i got a blue jeti but i cant used y have to used directly from the ps5 and im using de GC7 just for my dt headset. Help me pls
awesome vid thanks, you helped me pick out my keyboard earlier in the year! i want the seiren mini but dunno if i want to risk the build quality. will definately go with yeti nano if its at that sale price. if its not, ill go with razer.
Techne, you should review some of the mics from FiFine. They are really well sounding for the price and they just came out with a microphone that looks like the hyperx quad cast. The one I recommend reviewing is the t669 which is the one I have
Exactly the video I need now 😃 thanks very much Edit: I didn't know anything about the Maono, but the AU-902 (Fairy)′s build and sound quality (nad its feature set) surprised me for the price! I found the perfect microphone for myself just because you showed this mic in this video! A massive thank you for this, too!
maybe i got bad ears but i think all these mics are better than his studio one on the boom arm. That part of the vid sounded the worst to me. I'm thinking about the hyperx though
Could we see a review of the Fifine K669b mic? I like the Snowball Ice because it looks like something I would find in an UFO 😂. Thanks for making this video, I'll come back to watch this video time to time for when I'm looking for a budget mic. 👍
I was actually searching for budget but quality mics and your video is right on time! Thanks so much for this! You were also one of the guys that sold me to purchasing my GMMK, can't thank you enough for your solid reviews. Stay safe!
The Blue ball? What marketing genius came up with that name? 🤣🤣🤣 Anyway for sure it had the worst sound and is quite frankly just ugly compared to the other traditional mics you showed off.
I got the hyperx when it first came out, in part due to your review. Treats me great and people love my voice with it lol
Sometimes it really is worth saving a bit more and going for even the lowest product in the next price category.
I have the Siren Mini, and i'll say if you have it on your desk and not on an arm, then the built in shock mount makes a big difference compared to the HyperX.
I love the siren mini, just wish it had a mute button on it
@@TheTechne Agreed, that would be a great addition.
Yes I own the Siren Mini, it sure does pack a punch for how little it is LOL. But it is an amazing mic, but like you said if it had a mute button it would be 5x times better
@@TheTechne which one would you suggest
@@poophere278 in the vid he says yeti nano #1, seiren mini #2, then solocast #3, and not the others
maonos 50 dollar mic kit is amazing i used it for music and i wasn't disappointed. $50 for a mic, pop filter ,wind sock, boom arm and 2 Velcro straps for cable managing is def worth.

Thinking about doing the same thing. What boom arm did you buy?
@@jaydenlaskowski9878 the mic boom ended up being garbage. At this time I'm just using the stand the mic came with. Not sure if I'm going to explore other mic booms after all.

The hyperx solocast sound so good but it really needs a shock mount. Muwano fairy sounds good too.
Brooo, I was actually thinking about getting a mic and this video popped up. What's with your videos popping up at the right moment?
Lol
@@TheTechne keep it up man!
I was so unimpressed by the Yeti Nano. I sold it after hating it for ages
Where is the Logitech g335 final review ??
you i get the solo cast or the serien mini, what i love about the solo cast is that is has the mute button unlike the serien
I really appreciate you making this video Techne! I don’t have much money for a new mic and this really helps. Thanks again!

Solo Cast in EU cost $96. Blue Snowball $102, Razer Mini $72, Snowball Ice $90
399kr for solocast in sweden, like 37$ on sale from 719kr 66$
Nice, but in Bulgaria is different thing. Poor people high prices.
Great review channel by the way, started watching you about a year ago, and you seem genuinely very enthusiastic about the products you review. Nice to see your channel grow, keep up the good work!
Don't forget the Sudotack series 800 810 900. For me the best performance per coin.
where is the link for Moano Fairy ???
and what's the model and make of the mic you are using for the video? thanks.
I’m curious how the razer doesn’t sound like a jet engine cause mine does. I’ve replaced the fans, thermal paste and even factory reset. It sounds like this without anything open but if I open the internet or game then here comes the jet engine😂
I love the solocast, but the fact that it doesnt have a built in shock mount is a deal breaker for me :( I'll probably go with the seiren mini.
What’s a shock mount
@@Aystric did u hear the vibrations coming from the mic when hitting the table and typing? A shock mount prevents this
I know this headset is a bit on the "older" side but could you do a review of the Creative Sound blasterX H6 wireless headset?

Which budget mic is good for chatting in game?
Can u try out the Maono Au-a03 if im not wrong, comes with a mic, pop filter, mic arm all out of the box for under 40-50 bucks
You always upload the exact thing I'm looking for at the exact time I start looking for it! Thanks for the great content!
I own a blue yeti and i have to say that i liked the sound of the Fairy
Didn’t include the Fifine T669?
Maybe you should try checking out the FiFine T669 Microphone, it’s comes with its own Mic stand and other stuff, it's price is also 59.99. And I loved the video! Keep it up.

Yep , its good that you bought the Yeti nano here
What about fifine a6v
You should put the mics on a boom arm to test them properly. You should also adjust the gain so they were all similar in volume. Your testing methods make judging the sound quality very difficult.
A boom arm isn’t included. That would be altering the product. We are reviewing mics here not mic mods
@@TheTechne Your are contradicting yourself, you put the Snowball on a mic stand and used an amp for the mod mic. So you altered those products.
Other mic reviewers boom the mics and adjust the volume so the viewer can tell the difference in sound quality. Also most streamers and TH-camrs boom the mic, so it would be better to test the mic the way it would be used by content creators.

i like the snowball but people say i’m super quiet all of a sudden and idk how to fix it
I could be your voice software. Discord, Webex, Zoom etc. A lot of them have an "auto gain function" and background noise reduction, etc. Disable all of those functions in your voice/meeting software it should fix it.
Would it be ppssible to check the maono au-pm461tr its okly 30$ and I heard it is amazing for the price but e build is plastic
I need a good mic for my GC7 sound blaster i got a blue jeti but i cant used y have to used directly from the ps5 and im using de GC7 just for my dt headset.
Help me pls
Can the Moano mic go on Xbox/console
I think solo cast and razer mini both are great deals
FiFine k669 is best mic for the price, i think 2 years now still all good
Hey techne you should review the Fifine t669 it is £60 and includes a boom arm , shock mount, pop filter, detachable cable.
awesome vid thanks, you helped me pick out my keyboard earlier in the year! i want the seiren mini but dunno if i want to risk the build quality. will definately go with yeti nano if its at that sale price. if its not, ill go with razer.

Or got to mention that the t669 also comes with a mic arm pop filter and some other stuff I don’t know the name of
Hey man, how is the mic? Is the mic quality clear and can i use it for gaming and twitch?
Idk if you have done it before, but can you do a top 5 earbuds for ps5 video? I hate wearing headsets when I’m playing solo
I have had it planned for some time, just need to get on it
I was looking for something like this and u made a vid about it, thanks!
Almost 200k subs!
Love your vids
I already have the Seiren Mini. I like it and it works fine for me :)
Hey techne can you do a top five keyboards under 50 bucks, I just built my first pc and need a good keyboard
Perfect timing. Was just looking for one
Exactly the video I need now 😃 thanks very much
Edit: I didn't know anything about the Maono, but the AU-902 (Fairy)′s build and sound quality (nad its feature set) surprised me for the price! I found the perfect microphone for myself just because you showed this mic in this video! A massive thank you for this, too!
u might want to look at smason q2u dynamic mic which is a super budget mic and an massive underdog,please review it techne
I love the yeti Nano with the Logitech hub blue software it make a huge difference
they all sound pretty quiet...
maybe i got bad ears but i think all these mics are better than his studio one on the boom arm. That part of the vid sounded the worst to me. I'm thinking about the hyperx though
A lot of Great budget mics...love this video bro
Thanks man
@@TheTechne for sure brother
I m using maono au 903 and I loved it 😀
Try FiFine K678!
Could we see a review of the Fifine K669b mic? I like the Snowball Ice because it looks like something I would find in an UFO 😂. Thanks for making this video, I'll come back to watch this video time to time for when I'm looking for a budget mic. 👍
also where I live the Seiren Mini is under 30$ so I would definitely purchase it when I have saved enough money
I use a Scarlett 2i2 Gen 3 with a Lewitt 440 Pure but I still watch 🥃🤣
I love my seiren mini but I would need a mute button but I mute it from a program and I love it: D
I have the hyperx solocast. and its by far my favorite accessory i have ever bought, the touch mute is so clutch No question #1.
For me I think the best budget mic is fantech leviosa :)
PLS DO TIMESTAMPS NEXT TIME! gud vid btw
I was actually searching for budget but quality mics and your video is right on time! Thanks so much for this! You were also one of the guys that sold me to purchasing my GMMK, can't thank you enough for your solid reviews. Stay safe!
I used fifine k678. It is awesome

didn't you quit?
Never
@@TheTechne ah ok very good
I love the Siren Mini, really good job Razer! 😍
Am I the only one that thinks he sounds like Charlie Sheen?
6:10
Another A+ video! 🔥🔥🔥
Btw razer makes the WORST mics lmao
thank you so much
cant wait for this video to blow up kappa
Perfect video
Solo cast
Why do people like those Snowball things..
Every test I have seen is horrid sounding, as if it rips out all the treble tones.

Yep
Hey bro
Hey
@@TheTechne aye man love the videos keep it up og!!

Anyway for sure it had the worst sound and is quite frankly just ugly compared to the other traditional mics you showed off.
