FIFINE - AmpliGame A6V

The boom arm helps a lot just saying, I have the same mic and it picks up my keyboard but that's because it's literally touching it It's quite good with directional audio, won't pick up much if anything behind it, but it will absolutely pick up whatever's in front for some decent distance

Honestly, I just got the Fifine A6V $30 mic and also got the boom arm and think the sound is really good for the price It doesn’t pick up any of my keyboard clacking or background. Streamed last night and had some really bad thunder and when I played it back it only (barely) picked up an extremely loud one

I was using a Fifine mic recently as well, but mine was a condenser, so it picked up even more noise than I am sure their dynamic microphones do. I just got the Rode Podmic USB and I love it. $200, so not super expensive all things considered, and it’s built like a tank. The only negatives I can think of is it doesn’t come with a stand, so you’ll need a boom arm for it, and there are no onboard controls, so you’ll have to use the Rode app to make adjustments to gain and whatnot. These don’t bother, me, but I can see them being issues for some people.

Great post! Seriously, audio really is vital. I highly recommend spending $50-100 on a USB condenser mic (Fefine, Yeti). Inexpensive gaming headsets or laptop mics that cause clipping or plosive pops can be really distracting and instantly limit how much time someone is willing to spend watching your content. If you are trying to get into actual podcasting, where audio is the primary focus, you'll need to start spending more on a Shure SM7B or equivalent, but you will not need anything super serious for YouTube content.

I genuinely don’t need this and my FFINE condenser microphone I bought for $20 back in 2018 is perfectly fine…… but I want my microphone to not pick up people talking downstairs so I’m buying this.

Fifine AmpliGame for ₹2590, it has a shock mount, push to mute, eventually u can add an arm too

tenho o exato modelo da foto, comprei e usei por alguns meses com braço articulado, chegou num ponto que cansei um pouco, aí só fico no microfone do headset, não vendi ele pq uso pra alguns projetos e coisas específicas pq o áudio é ótimo, vai de cada um normalmente é ruim usar ele na mesa, especialmente pela distância que é recomendada falar dele

Tenho o exato microfone do post e é um excelente aparelho. Migrei de um headset também da Fifine então não senti muita diferença quanto a qualidade do áudio (essa marca manda muito bem nos mics) porém continou sendo diferencial em construção, funcionalidades e portabilidade. Uso ele com o apoio padrão na mesa numa distância de uns 20cm de mim e sem o ganho no máximo ele cumpre muito bem a captação, isso que você ainda pode usar um braço articulado.

Yeah sure. You want to look for some USB ones since the XLR ones would require interface which adds more costs. Something like Audio Technica AT2020 USB ver. would be pretty good, but it may be above your budget. I personally just use a random Fifine set and it works pretty good. They are pretty affordable and sound great for how much they cost. Most of the time.

Honestly if you’re not using your phone as a camera you could just record your voice on there and line it up in post for free, just clap and line up the initial big audio spikes. If you want a USB mic $50 mics like Fifine or the Blue Snowball will get you decent audio and I’m sure there are a bunch of comparisons to those on YouTube.
