You're so underrated, I love this review. Maybe you could teach ppl like me how you edit the sound of your microphones? I'd be interested in seeing a video like that on this channel. I'm subbing ^^
Hey, I appreciate you watching the content and for supporting the channel. You will find a video that I did on my channel on how I edited the microphone audio using Audacity, which is a free software and premiere Pro. It’s called, how to edit your microphone Audio.

Great mic yo start of with for sure !! I appreciate you watching as well 🙌🏾
@@GoWrightReviews so i got the mic but there's no wind muff included in the box, should i get one or just go for a pop filter instead?
If I remember correctly, it should have come with one… in any case, If you have a scissor arm stand then go for the wind muff, if not then the foam filter will do just fine 👍🏾
i love u video so much after i brought it quickly in flash sale you make me relieved 😆

Дякую за хороший огляд мiкрофона, допомiг з вибором . Лайк, молодець !
Hey there! Curious if you're still using this microphone and if your opinions have changed at all in the last 3 months. Has it held up reasonably well? Have you noticed anything about the quality over time that you didn't notice right away? Is there anything I should be aware of if I want to buy this microphone?
Yes, I am still using this microphone, actively, and I must say that it’s still great. I love the sound it produces given how inexpensive it is as well. It’s still in one piece physically as well. It’s made from plastic but a sturdy one. For the price, you won’t be disappointed if your’re looking for a mic that covers the basics really well. I would recommend it. See the links in the description for related accessories should you wish to buy them separately.
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any questions 🙌🏾
Thanks.I was looking for this
Awesome, Glad it was helpful ! Appreciate you watching !
Thanks for content it's useful
Thanks! Very helpful.
Super review...Great contribution
Thank you ! I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽
Please Suggest Sir : Fifine t669 or Maono 461TR / Maono au a04?
For singing / voice over
I mean which has better background noise reduction and Voice texture?
Hey!
Well both mics are in different price categories. The T669 comes with more accessories and has a much better build quality as it’s made out of metal. While both mics offers great sound, I personally appreciate the lower tone of the Maono PM461TR. However, if you do end up going with the Maono PM461TR you would have to get the accessories separately to have the same setup as the Fifine T669.
Hope this helps !!
@@GoWrightReviews Hello Sir Thank You For Help 🙏 I Want To Know If We Keep Price Aside...Actually I am Worried about background noise reduction and singing vocal capture capability.
Does Fifine Has Crisp Voice Texture than maono? As You Said You Like Lower Tone Of maono.
If You Have To Pick Any One For singing, Which One Will You Pick? My main Concern Are Background noise in my neighborhood and which Has Less Self Noise.
I feel like the T669 is highlights highs a bit more but the Maono has a warmer tone to it. In terms of noise rejection, as long as you keep the gain low and move closer to the mic, I would rate them As being the same in terms of sound rejection. If the T669 gain on the mic is too high it can get pretty sensitive and pick up the ambient noise. Hope this better answers your questions 👍🏾👍🏾
@@GoWrightReviews Really Thank You 🙏Finally My Confusion Is Clear After So Many days. REALLY THANK YOU REPLIED
@@TechGod I have a fifine k668, blue snowball, at2020 and this maono. Fifine is ear rape. Terrible for background noise. It'll pick up your neighbor sneezing. I highly do not recommend anything Fifine if you do voiceover or audiobooks. I only use my at2020 for those. If you do get a fifine because it's so cheap, you 100% need noise reduction in post. I only use my fifine as a travel mic for youtube videos but I always do 2 noise reductions in post.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the review man 👍🏻
appreciate you watching !!
How did u mount in to the boom arm? Isnt the screws different on both end? Another question, what is the material used of the mic holder mount. Is the mount made of plastic or is it made of metal( the bottom part of mic holder).
Hello !
The boom arm should come with an adaptor to screw in the mic in the case it doesn’t fit right out of the box. The mic holder is made out of two materials, metal for the screw ring and a hard plastic. 👍🏾
Some of the review is saying the screw ring is made up of plastic of this particular moc. A bit confused.
The part that screws to the mic is metal but the part that screws to the base or arms stand is a hard plastic. I personally have not had any issues with mounting the mic in either case. The thread could be damages if it isn’t screwed on properly. That could be possible.
ur video helped me a lottt
Happy it was useful 🙌🏾
Great reviewwww!
Thank you for watching !!
months later im still waiting for new videos!!
Hit the bell! You’ll be notified whoever I drop a new one. I appreciate you as a viewer and a member of the community 👌🏾
Good review valuable video thanks for the information really you r great...🕺🕺🕺
Hey thank you for the comment👍🏾. Did you decide on which mic you were going to get ?
Yas Filfine...
The T669 or K678?
K-678
Very clear review
I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽
Your voice is just gorgeous!
Thank you for watching 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Great sounds
What would you recommend more, the fifine k669 or the maono?
Haha! You put me in a tough spot as I like both mics. They both have mic gain controls and depending on when you look, they sell for around the same price. So I can see how you’re having trouble choosing. You’d be happy with either mic, so it’s really a personal preference. Although, I do like how the Maono has a detachable mic as an option.
There are actually two different models. The Fifine T669 and the 669B. The 669B is the cheaper out of the two Fifine microphone and more comparable in price to the Maono PM461TR
I CAME VERY LATE, CAN YOU PLEASE REVIEW THE MAONO PM420? OR THE MAONO AU-A04 (I heard they changed chipsset which i'm scared to buy)
I actually wasn’t aware of this. I don’t have a sample on hand unfortunately to do this test. Let me see if I can get my hands on a set 👍🏾. I can’t imagine them sounding too different from this one though.
you are a good man bruh .thanks
I appreciate you watching 🙏🏽
8:24 in this part, would my audio recording sound like this plug and play with this specific model of condenser mic when I'm using zoom or the deafult audio recorder of my windows 10 laptop?
Yes, it should sound very similar as how it’s demonstrated here !
@@GoWrightReviews Hey there I just bought a maono pm422 and may i ask how did you edit your audio?
Hello!
I actually have a video covering this posted on my channel. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/EfIry4M9SPI/w-d-xo.html. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi, firstly thank you for making these videos.You make wonderful videos , nicely shot great in quality as well as very informative , i am sure they are helping many ppl to choose right products. I have one query and need help from you. I am looking for a good in sound quality microphone for singing to gift my brother , what would you suggest me? I am confused between Fifine k670B , Mirfak tu1 and Maono (? Not yet sure) may be Au a04 TR Thank you !🙂
Hey! Thank you for watching my videos. I’m happy that you found it helpful. Sadly I haven’t tried those specific mics that you made reference to but I have tried mics from all 3 brands. For the most part, they have all performed well in my experiences. Not sure if you noticed, but i did make a video with my top picks of microphones that I have tried in the past 2 years.. hopefully this can help you in your decision: th-cam.com/video/0Yc0POz0fxM/w-d-xo.html
@@GoWrightReviews Thank you for answeing to my query , and sorry I couldnt reply earlier. Yes I had watched your suggested video already. I really like the sound quality of fifine for singing and I think I am going with fifine . I must say your videos are very detailed , and I like the sound testing segment very much in your videos. Thank you once again !
Hey! I appreciate your feedback on the channel. I’ve been a fan of a lot of the fifine products. So I’m sure you’re getting a good product. Best of luck with your projects 👍🏾
@@GoWrightReviews Thank you ! Best of luck to you too , keep on makin good videos 👍
Lets go!
🙌🏾
A Very Informative Review Sir, I'm just curious about the meaning of "TR" on that model (pm461TR)
Thank you air for watching !
Mhmm not sure really what the TR would stand for… good question.
Hello, I know I'm a month late. I don't know what the "tr" stands for but its for the model. Because there are 4 variations, tr, ts, s, and t. Tr is the cheapest one and the other models are more pricier because of more accessories (boom arm, pop filter, and shock mount)
@@SteppyPlayz Thank You Sir for that info, I'm just planning to buy and I'm wondering about TRs meaning
@@darwinpalaruan9207 Anytime! Im planning to buy too tomorrow. Because it will be 3.3 sale :) Enjoy and have a great life!
Can I play my guitar and sing along by using this mic?? Will it be able to capture both together properly??
Hmm... not sure if that would be the best way to record. Probably better to get each sound in a different track. So maybe separate mic for guitar and maybe the Maono for vocals ?
The microfon is working with a printer cable? Because the type is USB A, no?
Yes type A to Type B
should I buy this mic for recording vocals (basically making songs)??
Will it work for singing ? Yes, absolutely but I would get something that at least has live monitoring for singing. But to start out, this could be good as well
If u put the gain at 0 would it act like a mute button?
Hmm.. In theory it’s should mute the mic, but in some cases it Lowers the volume to almost zero but it would still pick up some sound.
Hello! Excellent detailed review! Thank you!
I have a somewhat unusual task. I need to record ultrasound 10-80 kHz, and the analog-to-digital converter of this microphone should cope with such a task. Would you be so kind as to make a test recording of 192 kHz / 24 bit? Please just shake a bunch of iron door keys so that they clink in front of the microphone and put the resulting wav file somewhere without processing.
This is a very particular question haha. Not sure if I have iron nails lying around or if the mic has the frequency you’re looking for?
Keep going
Thanks!
Saludos desde panabá yucatán mexicoooo... Exelente video... Pero... Que programa usas ahora para procesar la voz?
Gracias por ver desde México aquí hay un video que hice al respecto. Audacity es uno de los programas gratuitos que puedes usar th-cam.com/video/fcRIsiYnesA/w-d-xo.html
Gracias hermano.. Dios te bendiga...
De nada hermano
Pls tell me this. Mic is use in crowdy area because I'm live in crowdy area
Gain is good or not this is worthy or not pls tell me
Hello!
I think it’s always recommended to be in a quiet place as much as you can while using any microphone, because there is only so much a mic can do at rejecting loud noises in the background especially at this price point. However, what I tend to do is to turn the gain as low as I reasonably can and just speak closer to the mic. This helps a lot in cutting out the background noise. A secondary step is to introduce editing to your audio. If you are recording, you can always use a Noise reduction effect or even a noise gate effect to filter out any unwanted noise. Given the price for this microphone, I think it really performs well and would be a great budget option . Hope this helps and answers your question ?
@@GoWrightReviews thanks sir you are really great 👍👏thanks for reply
Happy to help out where I can 👍🏾👍🏾
@@GoWrightReviewsthanks a lot one more times
Can i connect it into a sound card? Like v8
Hmm… don’t think that’s possible as it’s a usb mic and It wouldn’t be necessary in my opinion as it connects directly to your computer without the need of phantom power.
@@GoWrightReviews Thanks for answering, how about AU-A04?
No problem !
Honestly, if you have the sound card already, it wouldn’t hurt to buy the usb mic you want and try it out. Not sure how clean the V8 is in terms of audio though l…
Kinda reminds me of the audio technica at2020
Yes you’re right. They do look somewhat similar. I also thought the same when I first saw it 😅
Its beautiful
Good value mic indeed 👍🏾
please answer my question sir. can it record vocals like justin bieber, selena gomez, zayn, juice wrld? I want to buy this for singing. even if it can capture 80% of vocals like jb it would be good. so should I get it?
It sounds like you are just starting out. For the price and what it does. It’s a good mic for recording in general. To get your sound to the next level, it will also be good to invest some time on how to optimize the sound to your liking through quick editing techniques. I have done a video on just this on my channel: th-cam.com/video/fcRIsiYnesA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=R8CmxxNiKBRZBp9v
Sir will this be compatible with non-Maono mic arms?
Sure, as long as you have the compatible adapters it should be fine 👍🏾
How do i mount the mic to the scissor arm mate? please tell me
Hello!
Just connect the black shock mount to the mic that comes in the box and then screw that shock mount to the scissor arm stand :-)
@@GoWrightReviews I have brought the shockmount from maono as a single piece and my package doesn't have the adapter convertor will it be connected with an adapter the 3.5 something conversion thingy to connect it i am super confused mate. I also brought this microphone idk why the reviews are super negative about this microphone on amazon india.
Hmmm… I’m surprised it didn’t come with the adaptor.. it’s an essential part to the scissor stand. Maybe you could order it on the side? Also, have you tried out the mic yet ? You liking the sound so far?
@@GoWrightReviews Yes I did the sound is pretty sweet as my voice is deep pitched. Yeah you can see this one boom arm provided by Maono AU-B01. They dont provide it with the adapter I know its essential part still they give it with a microphone clip. If you have time please check the above mentioned arm brother and help me fix this issue. As on amazon in they have mentioned it from Maono's side as the adapter isn't included in it.
Can i use it direct on my iphone by using otg cable?
Hello,
Yes, that will work. Sometimes you do need an powered USB hub in addition but often times it’s for higher powered mics like a blue yeti.
Hope this helps and thanks for watching !
thank you
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙏🏽
Which one do u prefer this mic or fifine t669
Hey!
So the Fifine T669 is in a different price tier when compared to this mic (Maono pm461tr). So it’s priced higher than this one. The T669 has a metal build structure, and more accessories. However, the Fifine 669b is more comparable price wise and feature wise, and quite honestly, it would be hard to pick between the two, as they’re both great mics, but if I had to pick, I would go for the Maono as it has a detachable USB cable. With the 669b you need to upgrade to the t669 to get that feature. Keep in mind though that Fifine has a great warranty in general (have to double check if it applies to 669b though). So which ever option is more important, that’s the one I’d go with 👍🏾. Hope this helps !
Thanks a lot for ur suggestion
It helped me
And love ur channel ❣️
Great! Glad to hear 🙏🏽
Thank you as well😇
What kind of boom arm did you use for that mic?
Link in the description 🤙🏾
@@GoWrightReviews im kinda new to this but that mic is compatible with any boom arm right?
@@JVGGGG yup! It sure is !
Hey forgot to ask, how do the mic and the stand work? I want to buy one soon
Oh it’s pretty easy. Just unscrew the microphone mount from the mini table stand and screw that part unto the scissor arm stand. Let me know if you need help setting it up!
@@GoWrightReviews Wow thats easy! does the stand feel good?
There’s different grades of scissor arm stands that you can get. I really prefer that to the table stand. A lot more flexibility and frees up table space
@@GoWrightReviews Awesome!
Good for singing or not?
yes, could be used for this purpose 👍🏾
I bet it is, but is it compatible with a Chromebook?
Hey!
So I don’t have a chrombook at my disposal to test this out for you but I did find instructions for another USB mic. In theory, it should work in the same way. Have a look: www.audio-technica.com/en-us/support/audio-solutions-question-of-the-week-can-i-use-a-usb-microphone-on-a-chromebook/
@@GoWrightReviews Alright
Thank you sir,
Is it better than fifine k669b ? Please reply
Better in what sense?
@@GoWrightReviews sorry sir,
I mean which mic is the best between maonu AU PM 461TR USB or fifine k669B, for TH-cam videos, thanks for reply.
They are quite similar mics, price-wise and feature wise. So you can’t go wrong going with either mic. The Fifine has a better build quality but to me, personally, I prefer the sound from the Maono PM-461TR. That’s not to say the sound from the Fifine is bad, it’s just my personal preference. Hope this helps
@@GoWrightReviews thank you very much sir
@@jaipuriamart maono is better
right to the point review. thank you. 😊
Thanks for watching 🙌🏾
is this just putting the mic directly to the pc?
Yes! It’s a plug and go microphone
Is this USB is USB-A to USB-B？(sorry for bad grammar)
Yes! USB A to USB B
thanks a lots
My pleasure !
Can I use another brand of usb？(sorry)
Yes, it will still work 👍🏾
Hello, do you know if it works with Mac?
Hello!
Yes, this microphone is compatible with Mac operating systems 👍🏾
@@GoWrightReviews Thank you so much!!
My pleasure !
Fifine k669b or this?
Both are great mics to be honest, but I like this one better because of the detachable cable. So if I had to choose I would maybe lean more to the Maono, personally 👌🏾
@@GoWrightReviews what if in terms of audio quality?
Hello!
Even when it comes to sound they are both very good. For you it might be different but I prefer the low end sound of the Maono PM461TR.
@@GoWrightReviews thank you so much
Glad to help out 🙏🏽
Can i borrow this one hahahahahahaha jk
Hahaha. If I remember correctly I think you needed a mic that wasn’t USB right ?
is this good for rapping?
Hey, sound wise, I think it would be good for that. 👍🏾. If you find there are too many plosives then you can invest in the scissor arm stand so you can mount a pop filter. Try it out, then you can decide after if you need the added accessories !
Thanks for watching the content 🙏🏽
@@GoWrightReviews thanks man! nice review by the way.
My pleasure 👍🏾. Let me know if youngster any other questions.
@@GoWrightReviews another question man, do you think this is the best microphone for the price range?
From the group of handheld mics I’ve tested, this is the cheapest one and I was sincerely surprised by how it performed. I think one of the reasons it’s selling for less money is because the mic is made out of a hard plastic (decent quality though) and it doesn’t come with that many accessories. So you get cost savings but they did not cut in the sound department. I can tell you that. If you’re on a tight budget, I think this would be a great starter mic, especially considering you don’t need extra equipment like an audio interface, if you were using an XLR mic. XLR mics do have its advantages over USB mic in terms of flexibility for connectivity but if you need something that sounds good and easy to set up, this mic would be a good way to go!
Hope this helps ✌🏾
😥😥😥
This microphone is the worst i have used.
Interesting… in what sense?
@@GoWrightReviews i have used maono au-a04, 903. And even a cheap lav mic of Boya. But this one seems to have a cracking sound whenever the "s" sound is there. And noise reduction is weak. I have used a04 even with my air cooler (not conditioner) and there is very little background noise which is easily removed in post production. But this one captures all the noise behind. I have now totally packed it and kept it in by bag. Never use it.
Wow… sorry to hear that. One of the techniques I try to use is to keep the gain on the mic lower and keep the mic closer. This helps with any background noise you might pick up and like you said, noise reduction in post editing is super effective. For the given price point, I believe Maono PM461TR offers good value in my opinion, especially for someone starting out. I’m wondering if you may have gotten a defective unit? I personally have not had the cracking issue. In any case, I’m happy you have found the mic that works best for you ! Best of luck with your recording projects 👍🏾
@@GoWrightReviews thank you so much.... May be a defective edition. Because I had gone through many reviews before buying. All said its good. So.... Yes.... Maybe a bad luck.
