5.0 out of 5 stars Good enough (or too good) of a mic for pretty much anyone
TLDR: The Fifine AM8 is a fantastic budget competitor to much higher-end mics like the Shure SM7B, while still maintaining aesthetics and quality, but that does come with a few quirks, as expected of the less expensive option.I found out about Fifine through a review of the A8 while looking for a more value-oriented, but still highly performant mic, and although I was impressed with the A8's sound quality, it is a compressor mic, and I quickly realized there is a reason professionals tend to stick closely to dynamic's. Thus, after finding that the same brand had released this mic, a similarly priced, value-oriented dynamic mic that supports XLR, comes with an arm, and can even trade blows with the infamous Shure SM7B ( as seen in video titles like "DO NOT Waste Your Money on The Shure SM7B" on Youtube), I didn't take long at all to place an order.Upon opening the box, I was not disappointed with the aesthetics, as, despite its plastic construction and RGB, it maintains a professional look, and feels solid and hefty in the hand and the stand likewise does not appear flimsy despite its low price. While setting it up, the stand does show its price a bit with its thin, hollow construction, but alas, this is to be expected for the price, and although it is a little short, after set up I have rarely had to think about the stand at all, a sign that it is indeed doing its job perfectly well. The mic, on the other hand, only raises expectations further during setup, with the well-diffused back RGB showing off immediately upon being plugged in, and the capacitive buttons feeling very consistent and responsive. I was also very glad to see that the PC sound passthrough from the headset monitoring port required no setup, started automatically, and sounded indistinguishable from the built-in pc sound. I did however notice a few quirks with this set, such as tapping or hitting the desk sometimes reverberating through the stand and being audible through the mic, the on-mic features (buttons, dials, and RGB,) not functioning without USB C power (such as when using XLR), and the mic reverting to whichever connection method (USB or XLR) was connected first, with no button to switch between the two, and instead having to unplug and plug the mic back in to switch.The sound test was about as I expected from hearing the mic on Youtube, which is fantastic, as the mic does indeed prove itself to be impressively close to mics like the Shure SM7B. With this level of sound quality, if you are, like me, looking for an endgame mic to use for anything from gaming, zoom calls, or even "prosumer" level work like content creation, I see no reason to look for any more than this mic, as the diminishing returns of higher-end mics are simply not worth it for personal use, and 99% of people would not be able to tell the difference between this mic and an actual professional mic (see previously mentioned youtube video). That being said, if audio is your main hobby, or if you would be using this mic professionally, then, and only then you have reason to look further.
5.0 out of 5 stars A great entry level mic for a casual user like myself
I have nothing but good things to say about this microphone. If you don't want to read a long review, the tl;dr: This is a great plug-n-play microphone that has great sound quality and a price that can't be beat.When the pandemic hit in 2020, I started playing online games with friends. When things went back to normal a few years later, we kept playing online as many of us had moved to different areas of the US.During that time, I used a nice set of bluetooth headphones and that was adequate. We mostly played strategy games, board games, or poker games where sound quality didn't matter.In 2024 we hopped on the Helldivers 2 train and the bluetooth headphones just weren't cutting it. To use the microphone with bluetooth, you have to accept the sound changes from full stereo to hands-free mono. For a game like Helldivers 2, that just didn't work. I couldn't hear anything at all.So I decided to invest in a microphone. I know nothing at all about microphones and just wanted something relatively cheap that would work. I did a little research and the main thing people said was to get a "dynamic mic" as opposed to a "condenser mic". Shocker, the dynamic mics are more expensive, often costing $100+.I ended up getting this Fifine, which was significantly cheaper. And to be honest, I wouldn't be able to tell it was a cheap model. The quality of this mic looks really good and feels solid. It uses USB-C which is nice, and even has an XLR jack for the serious audio people (I don't know anything about this -- I just use the USB jack).It is seriously plug-n-play. It took me all of 5 minutes to unbox and get set up at my desk. It just...works.The only additional recommendation I'd make. Even though this is supposed a "dynamic mic" which only picks up sounds right next to the mic, I found this still picked up all my keyboard strokes and could even pick up mouse clicking.The solution to this if you have an Nvidia card is Nvidia Broadcast. It is free and it has some sort of noise filtering that does an excellent job to remove background noise like what I mentioned above.If you need a stand and a mic and don't want to dive down the rabbit-hole of audio equipment, this is probably your best value-to-quality option. It's no nonsense, dead easy to set up, and in conjunction with noise filtering software like Nvidia Broadcast sounds phenomenal.
4.0 out of 5 stars A great budget microphone.
I ordered this microphone to do a little bit of voice work as well as start doing some commentary YouTube videos/Podcasts! As far as a podcast goes, it is amazing. Amazing if you are directly speaking, very close. It does Pick up some stuff about a foot away, But it’s not in great quality. It was really easy to set up. It’s a great fit for my set up. The adjustability is amazing on the boom arm. It was easy to connect. Overall, the quality is what you’d expect out of $100 microphone but for a $50 budget! It really does pick up some great audio.The 2 gripes that I do have about it, It seems as if the mute button doesn’t work all of the time. And I don’t like exactly how I have to be in order to speak into it for it to pick up my voice at a great quality.Other than that if you are on a budget and you’re wanting to make some YouTube videos or just get into podcasting, it is a great starter microphone.
Exceptional Headphones. Best Under $200. Solid competition for the RODEs of the world.
This is exceptional quality for the price you pay. I was initially going for a Rode, but I thought, let's save money! Most people ignore the fact that these days you can get to 90% of the audio quality of a Rode mic in post-production. You click one button ("enhanced audio") on a software like CapCut, and you can achieve the sound quality of a $200 mic with a $20 mic. I still din't want to gor for a $20-30 option though. So got this instead.Takeaway:- Extremely sturdy (especially with the stand).- LOVE the LED lights. I was scared when I ordered, because I like minimalistic & "less is more" design. But the LED light is classy and understated. Looks beautiful at night. So yeah, they're not the disco lights I was fearing.- Excellent at background noise control.- Ideal for podcasting, providing that radio-like sound.- Better than most $150-200 options.For now, I have nothing negative to say, but I will update if I encounter any issues. I'm really happy I didn't run after the "known brands" and went ahead with this product. Probably saved $100.
otimo custo beneficio
o produto ja vem com o braço articulado e isso é uma mao na roda. o braço articulado é de qualidade, e o microfone é perfeito. consegue tirar bem os ruidos de fundo, o volume é bom e ainda tem como aumentar ou diminuir o som pelo proprio microfone
