Maono - PD400X Dynamic Microphone

I am using FIFINE T669 for 69eur and it´s really amazing fort his price. You can tweak it easily with OBS plugin. BUT I just found Maono PD400x for 60eur as well. Normal price is 140 in my country. Currently in delivery, let´s see the difference.

Fifine as starting point great because you have also arm im budle. MAONO PD400x graet upgrade running with it until today.

I recently upgraded to the Maono PD400X and have been loving it! It's within my price range and great quality, at least I think, I'm still only 2 years in..

Mv7 shure is great for deeper voices, I didn’t like it for my voice, tried it with different settings and xml. Rhode podmic is decent but I went back to the pdx400 maono it has a richer sound I like. If you have a nvidia card broadcast takes care of the background noise nicely. There’s also a nvidia plugin for obs that works great.

I use a Maono PD400X and people have asked a couple times if I have an SM7B. It was only $125.

I actually bought the Maono PD400X (dynamic) and I am very happy with it! I am a bit concerned at times of the USB-C connection since it doesn't go all the way in. It works perfect but I am worried about hitting it. That said, Maono offers a XLR to 3.5mm aux cable. Would that be better than the USB-C to C and/or XLR to USB? I'd rather not get an interface.

DJI mic mini has been great for me! also have a moano podcast mic which sounds great too

I ordered a cheap podcast USB mic from Amazon 3 years ago, called the Maono microphone. I'm still using it, and it sounds great, and it was about 70$ USA

maono and fifine are great value. pd100x or am8 perform pretty similarly. seiren is pretty spartan when it comes to features. hyperX is good but pricey

I vouch for maono/fifine. Gamer brands are overpriced. Just a heads up, if the mic is an XLR jack, you'll be needing an audio interface tho. That I cant say much about it.

Have you watched the reviews/sound tests on YouTube? I'm definitely not the right person to give any advice as I only have experiences with cheap chinese microphones. 😁 But since you said it's just for hobbies, Maono has some great choices to choose from and there are a bunch of reviews on YouTube testing & comparing them out in different condition. You'd definitely want a mic with a gain control if you also play an instrument as mics for singing are usually only good for close-up singing. I personally own two Maonos. 1 for singing up close, 1 for casual instrument playing. I don't have any room treatment or whatsoever but their microphones naturally reduce background noises and I'm not interested to upgrade as I'm not willing to invest that much for a hobby.
