Amazon sells many cheap USB mics which can make it hard to find the best USB mic for your budget. Most of these USB microphones are from cheap brands, except for the Razer Seiren Mini. Coming from razer, it's surprizing that it isn't overpriced, and on top of that, it's said to be one of the best budget microphones so I was really excited to test it out.

IF THE VIDEO FEELS WEIRD SOMETIMES, HERE'S WHY:
I included a bunch of amazon screenshots etc & got an email that showing amazon prices/screenshots is not allowed so I had to cut them all out.
As a result, the video has weird cuts, music switches etc, however, no information has been cut out so the info is still solid.
Cheers
How is showing amazon prices/screenshots is not allowed? That's definitely fair use! This video is seriously 10/10 on for a review video!
@@Coz131 Because Amazon is a marketplace and prices/vendors/listings change all the time. It's pretty lame because some other creators get away with it but ye..
You can tell how hard you worked on this video😁Thank u so much it helped a bunchh
Mm me I’m ok
Thank you for the video good sir I just purchased the razer but could you possibly tell me how long the USB cord is on it I cant seem to find any info online
The fact that the Sudotack is a $50 mic AND it incudes a pretty good boom arm which brings the actual mic price down around $15 - $20 means that the mic itself is around $25 - $30 and it competes with the blue yeti is insane
you don't know that
@@patayder566 I do, because my friend has a blue yeti and I have the sudotack, they very easy compete, and it sounds crazy but they do
@@imilkpigeons4881 it doesent sound crazy because the blue yeti sucks lmao
I too think they compete in sound quality. It even sounds pretty close to the Yeti X which is high priced.
@@notnicknamed blue yeti is what makes us producers scream into a pillow.... its devoid of ANY proper quality
As an audio engineer this was one of the best videos I've ever watched. The Sudo-tack was the clear winner for me.
Do you think Sudo-tack is suitable for recording singing?
@@gymnopedist6211 yea i use something similar to the st800 for music and its rlly good, obviously you’re gonna end up putting a preset on your vocals in whatever DAW you use so it would sound good anyway
Most people covering these microphones have a clear benefit from recommending a microphone but you compared all the options side by side. You have clearly done great work and I hope this video gets the views it deserves.
his 2nd most viewed vid
Got myself a Sudotack and it was a very worth it purchase for an upgrade from my cheap earbuds mic. I didn't buy the boom arm version however, since my table doesn't allow the boom to stick anywhere on it. But there's a version where it comes with a stand similar to Razer's. Thanks for the mic review btw! It helped me a lot
Is it cheaper with no stand or boom arm?
The Sudotack and Razer is the best budget mic for this video in my opinion
true!
I would say that the Sudotack is by far the best and most practical of those.
The Razer one seems to be kinda in the way when playing and it's not really good enough for creating content like podcasts etc. The Sudotack not only sounds the best of them, but has an arm delivered with it, which makes it easier to place at you desk. So this would definitely be my choice.
And not to forget the sudotack comes in a FULL kit which makes it just a “too good to be true” deal
@@juicy_oranges5529 the razer one sounds better when you have it closer to your mouth, i use one with a boom arm and it sounds alot different from when you use the table stand, i'd say it sounds the best when its closer to your mouth,
bruh they arent budget mic its litteraly very costly 9000+rs
I’ve been using the sudotack st-800 for a week. Totally worth it! If you’re planning to buy any of these mics, you should get the sudotack since it’s a complete package and the sound quality sounds like an expensive mic.
I just ordered it. I hope it will be great.
Does it pick up loud noises? I use a open back headphone and mechanical keyboard for gaming and am kinda afraid that it will pick the noises up and annoy my friends.
@@joostfloot5279 It is possible that the mic would pick up the noises from your open back headphones. As for the keyboard noises, I use an anne pro 2 keyboard with brown switches so I don’t really have a problem with that. The mic does pick up some loud noises in the background such as dogs barking or door knocking.
Seiren Mini/Sudotack/Fifine sounded the best for me
btw, your voice seems fitting for a villain in a super hero movie
that's the first anyone has ever told me that
@@TheVideoNerd waarschijnlijk omdat je een nederlands accent hebt man oom
I agree. I have the Fifine and am happy with it but kind of want the Sudotack, now! LOL
@@bigmangissa ja idd ik hoorde het ook
😂 lol true
I bought the Razer Seirin Mini recently and used it for the first time yesterday. It was easy to set up although I had to adjust the gain in Shotcut for more volume. I handheld it about 6 to 7 inches from my mouth and it was great with no background noise at all. It has a nice resonance to it which suits my voice so I am happy with my purchase.
did you buy a boom arm? if yea which one
No. I put the mic on a box near my mouth. I use the mic for voiceovers. I don't appear in the vids so no need for anything pretty.@@vinymontana8838
Mate! You Explained Very well 👌
Glad you liked it!
Awesome vid what do you think about the HyperX Quadcast S ?
Perfekt 👍👍
e
As a BBC sound eng. for the last 30 years I am really impressed with your presentation , clarity and truthfulness and, above all...NO STUPID AND ANNOYING MUSIC!!! Thank you and good luck with your future venture!
what will be your top 3 mick on the list?
Huh, the sudotrack sounds really great actually
i use a mic called the Ak60, very similar.
Ikr, it was my favorite the entire time
@@affection3498 lol i just bought it, im ex
Excited
@@affection3498 any issues ?
The Sudotack ST-800 sounds BY FAR the best imo. Thanks for the video, this was super helpful.
Yeah the Sudotack takes the win for absolute sure.
This is so amazing and ExACTLY what I've been looking for in terms of Microphone testing. Thank you for putting the time and money into this for us, it really means a lot!!!

You totally convinced me to buy the SUDOTACK one, it sounds really good and without white noise, it's perfect !
Bless you for a list of budget microphones that are ACTUALLY budget! I found so many "budget mic" lists where they were recommending ones that cost $120! As a first time podcaster I just couldn't afford to shell out more than $50 or so for something I was doing just for fun with my friend and not expecting to make any money from.
120$ for usb mic is not worth it at that price better get xlr mic
What's your podcast?
Best 3:
Sudotack ST-800: 7:44
Fifine K996B: 7:50
Razer Siren Mini: 9:13
Interesting 🤔
Personally using the Siren Mini, I fully recommend it
Was actually gonna get the Sudotack but it is too large for my compact environment (shared desk with somebody), ended up getting Razer Seiren Mini but it's still very crisp sound quality!
awesome choice!
I have the razer siren mini
@@fadez292 is it good?
@@matcho23 It’s Awesome!
@@fadez292 is it good for asmrv
Already found my favourite, the Sudotack St-800, it just sounds the cleanest in my opinion
I have the Sudotack in a box in my closet lolol. Guess I'm digging it out... So much work seems to have gone into this video. Thank you for the effort.
Wow, this is absolutely one of the best budget friendly reviews on mics! Thank you for taking the time to review all of these and making our purchase buying easy!
I'm getting either the sudotack or the razer...hm its going to help massively for my TH-cam so thanks a bunch man!
Thanks to his hard work to make me a right decision.

Thank you
I love you man
that great help alot
I've been using the Sudotack for a year or two now and as you proved in this video, it's one of the best budget microphones out there.
Thanks to this video I was able to find the right mic for me. This was by far the best video comparison for me and an actual budget mic. Decided on the Sudo will help with teaching lessons and the arm makes a great esthetic to my desk setup
I personally have a Fifine and honestly it sounds great, since the segment with the fifine on the boom arm was short, there was more emphasis on the sudotack. However with a simple pop filter the fifine sounds amazing even without a boom arm. Especially since it's like half the price.
I bought the Sudotack mic a little over 2 years ago (April 26, 2020) because I was in need of a cheap mic to kickstart streaming on twitch and let me tell you how amazing its been and has not failed me ONCE since I bought it. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap good mic to use.
This is how a comparison should be made. Realistic, sincere, tested in many variables. So I subscribed.
(p.s. I know my audio and have to say I concluded in 100% the same results and observations as I watched. Plus, I was tiny disappointed by Blue Snowball, expected more)
What's up with the video skipping?
The sudotak sounds the best in my opinion
this video is from 2 years ago and still holds up incredibly well, I thank you for making all the comparison in real life scenarions rather than on ideal settings, specially when these microphones are meant under most circumstances to be used on (relatively) noisy environments when you take the pc keyboard and mouse into account. It helped me to decide on the seinen mini+arm
Absolutely, great video
I already have the sudotack and I would say its amazing.
I am astonished as to how great of a video this is, it exceeded my expectations and showed me way more as to what i was looking in a video for reviewing different set of mics.
I appreciate you doing this. I was able to make the informed decision.
That is the mot genius sponsorship ever because everyone WANTS to hear it so they can hear the quality of the mic. GENIUS.
This channel is too underrated for that astonishing quality. You deserve more!!!!
true
Agreed, crazy good quality
thiiiiss is what im looking for from a mic review, they dont just show the price, but also compare the quality. thankss m8!!
bruh that sudotack st 800 sounds soooo good so crisp and even makes you sound kinda like deep voice
7:23 Daaang, the Procaster sounds so smooth and natural. And at the same time, crisp.
I was looking for a microphone for recording and doing interviews online that wasn't too high in budget. This definitely helped and I ended up buying the razer seiren mini, 100% the best purchase I made in a while. 10/10 for being affordable and still having good quality without a cheap feeling and or sound.
I had the Tonar Q9 Microphone kit in my cart but after hearing the sudotack, not only is the audio better but it's $12 cheaper and comes with everything the tonar does. Thank you so much for this review!! Big thumbs up.
I have been looking everywhere for best budget mics and this video helps a lot. It helps me to compare the sounds betweeen the different mics and I might consider buying the Sudotack as it sounds amazing in my opinion. I have been using my cheap budget headphone mic and it sounds horrible. Thanks again!
the most realistic review with irl scenarios rather than just testing the sound. W
amazon listings trying to cover every keyword in the name:
* copy pastes Webster's English dictionary *
Exactly what I was looking for, and I'm thrilled that the winning mic is also the one that's sold locally and easiest to get my hands on! Thanks so much for this! Also, as someone who knows nothing about audio, it was great to hear so many mics side by side and actually hear the differences so clearly. I super appreciate the bit at the end where you added the EQ. No idea what that is, mind you 😅but it's good to know that I can play around with the audio to get even more out of the mic later. THANK YOU!
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. When you get the mic, you can check out my 'make your mic sound pro' video, which will show you what EQ is and how to add it in obs studio :) Cheers!
@@TheVideoNerd Amazing, thanks! I'll do that!
This guy is testing every mic by talking and talking without losing any words.
Props to you 👏
Glad you noticed! Thanks :)
I like the sound of the FiFine the most. Maybe a little biased, since I also own one for two years. But I prefer the flat sound. Sounds more pleasant in Zoom/Discord calls and it gives you way more flexibility in post production
Some of these mics (including the fifine) have separate bundles which include the arm, so if you want an arm, you don't always have to buy them separately
I’ve been using the Raleno M30 for a while now, and I think it still holds up as a good starter mic, but I definitely agree with the stand issue.
Difference is huge when you are musician recording instruments or songs. Most of them are good for non music recording or call in general so don't spent a bomb if you will use them just for podcast, office calls or just dialogue recording.
its not like i have friends to talk to
Nice work on this channel. Very nice work.
Thank you for this very informative yet brief overview of some entry level mics! I could hear the obvious difference in quality amongst the mics tested, but, being new to this, I found that all the mics, the "trash" ones included, were perfectly fine for lower budgets. I bought a mic "kit" very similar to the Sudotek one you featured with boom arm and accessories. I guess I will start to notice a difference once I've gone through the basic levels of voice recording. Again, thank you for this video!
Just a suggestion. Since a lot of us PC gamers use laptops, can you do a test where you have loud fans running in the background to see how they handle this? Would love to see this. Also your content is incredible. Subbed.
2:09 wtf is this video editing
thx so much for making this video! i wanted to go out to a gamestop tomorrow to buy a mic since it was the closest store to my house.. and this video really helped me out. i was originally thinking of buying a blue snowball there until i came across this video and i'd say the razer sieren really changed my mind
I love how they all get smaller the more expensive they are lol.
Is your video jumping back and fourth or just me?
There's a clone of the Raleno Microphone callled the Drelan Microphone, they both are the same just different names, they both have really good quality and and both a priced around $29 - $30
th-cam.com/video/qwflJM2CjXI/w-d-xo.html
Wow. That Sudotech sounds great. No hiss, nice bass and good noise cancelation. I'll have to check it out.
I bought the sudotack thanks to this video!
Edit: i can say that it's actually REALLY good!
i love the editing in this video, you just jump through sentences cutting out half of the review for each and every microphone. Seriously, what's cheaper this video or the mic's you reviewed? lol. Also would be nice if you actually listed the mic's by name when you review them.
I just bought the seiern mini. It was $60 when i first checked it out. Then it went down to its normal price of $50. The next day it was on sale for $33. So i saved half the price by waiting 3 days.
I was surprised at the tonor tc-77 I own one and I feel like mine sounds much better than the one used in this video
why did you cut the video mid way through all your sentances??
The best mics there are the sudotack st-800, fifine k669b and the blue snowball. For me the rode procaster wasn't worth the extra 150 you are paying.
blue snowball just isn't that amazing anymore for the price IMO.
@@JoelPlay what is?
@@unnervingibet117 blue snowball?
@@JoelPlay i’m so sorry bruh 😭😭 i replied to the wrong comment and just realized it. sorry abt that!
@@unnervingibet117 its all good i dont mind
Sudotac was a HUGE surprise - it and the siren mini are pretty solid options on a budget
the fifine k669b is almost a must have, I bought it not knowing the quality and well the price is worth it for the sound quality, so if you want to buy a cheap mic buy this one
I’m using a blue snowball ice atm and, while it’s a top notch mic, the sudotack just seems to be crispier and clearer. Think I’m gonna buy it
Edit: Bought it and tbh, it sounds better than snowball. Not to mention the amount of stuff the kit comes with. Would recommend.
Does it pick up loud noises? I use a open back headphone and mechanical keyboard for gaming and am kinda afraid that it will pick the noises up and annoy my friends.
@@joostfloot5279 It picks up noise like any other mic. If you don’t want background noise, use Krisp noise cancellation.
Damn bro, this is the best Mic video I have seen, love how you switch them out so I can hear each one and background sounds. Amazing!
The Sudotack is insane! I was going to get a blue yeti but wanted to see some cheaper options. Definitely getting a Sudotack
update??
@xleah the link for the mic doesn't bring you directly to the mic, but a page with different mics on it, so I'm just trying to find it
Amazing video. The continuous speech during the audio comparison is better than anything else on youtube
Definitely think the Sudotack stands out from the rest.
The amt of effort in this video is priceless. Earned a like
Save us lots of time and energy when you just tell us which ones are 'absolute trash'... Thanks a lot 😭🙏❤️
If you ask me, Sudotack was the clear winner. I need this microphone, as it would not only be a huge upgrade in mic quality, but in functionality as well. And all of that for $50? That's an easy steal, no questions asked...
the first mic is the one I used for about two years, now I use blue yeti
Subscribed for the microphone reviews and purchases, i hope it helps, there arent many review vids like this, GJ
The editing 💀💀💀
I really appreciate this side by side, most reviews are 1-3 mic comparisons so you don't get the benefit of hearing a range of them using the same settings and mounting.
Great video. You do a great job of explaining the plus and minuses of each microphone. I agree with your assessment and think the Razer Seiren Mini is the best sound. Thank You for the time and effort you put into the video.
Thanks for this laborious comparison. It might help many people to improve their audio and I appreciate such an effort.
I stream using my laptop mic and it's surprisingly better than the first 3 😅
Haha some of these were bad indeed man
Very happy to watch this on Black Friday. Got a good deal on the sudo
In my opinion, the best microphones here are the Sudotack ST-800 and the Razer Sieren. Here are the timestamps so that you can better compare them:
- ST-800: 5:56
- Raizer Sieren: 6:53
For anyone that wants a guaranteed good microphone for budget, buy a clearance blue snowball. I've had the same one since early 2018 and it is still working to the point i don't need to buy a new one anytime soon. Never had a single issue. And nobody has ever complained about my microphone quality. Dispite it being right next to my keyboard as well.
I actually own the TC-777 and can say it's a good budget microphone and can recommend it to people with a slim budget.
Sudotack wins. Even on par with the Razer in my opinion. 👌
I am going to use it in my next "streaming on a budget" video, as part of the $250 streaming setup :)
Very interesting how the video mainly praises the Seiren Mini and Fifine 669, and brings up good points as to why the Sudotack isn't all that great, yet the comments section loves the Sudotack
I love how TH-cam recommends me this video after I already bought a mic
Same i bought a bm 800 right before this video was posted
This video was great! Thank you for taking the time to make this!
Damn your channel is underated
thanks for this video, I'm buying the sudotack for my birthday and I'm finally solving my bad mic quality issue
The mic im using was only 3$ i think xD, i just found it on amazon when i first started pc gaming, its alright and works well, prob not that good on noise suppression as I can hear the emptiness of my room when I do hear back testing with the mic
you probably got that barbie mic
@@thebestgamer0112 lol it was 9$ mic on sale
got the bugha headset
@Pock Pock no currently using my headset mic, cuz it cancel noise better. But the mic still on amazon I think like 5$ ish
@Pock Pock nope
thank you so much, this video helps me to chose my budget mic wich is the sudotack, thanks a lot your video is more than perfect.
Great vid, great comparisons. I really liked the Sudotack surprisingly followed by the Razer Seiren. The Fifine was disappointing given its popularity ..
