K690

If you're looking for a more budget friendly mic to get you started I picked up the FiFine K690 mic and it was a massive upgrade for me.

I'd recommend getting a dedicated mic like fifine k690 and a comfortable iem like moondrop may.

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.

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.
