@@FIFINE Nice
@@FIFINE yo Fifine uses a "lol" we now know Fifine is a gamer lets buy everything from Fifine.
FIFINE MICROPHONE Makes sense to me considering the recent pandemic, your product seems pretty good though and if I ever need a microphone I’ll probably keep y’all in mind.
3:05, I recently bought the fifine, I’d say it’s a great mic for a fair price. Although the noise cancellation isn’t that great you can easily fix that in your recording software or when you use discord to call and etc.
It’s great for if you’re on a tight budget, and are a starter to microphones. I know content creators that use this mic and have a satisfying ASMR gameplay.
It is worth it with good audio?
Ah sorry for late reply, I’d say yeah. The audio’s great. Especially for ASMR’s, just put the mic somewhere on your desk next to your keyboard and not in front. You can easily adjust the volume as well. I’m sorry, I didn’t get notified until 2 weeks later.
@@yukimo3341 i went with the behringer umc22 (10 bucks more compared to the um2, but the um2 is still completly fine) and the xm8500 and gosh is the soundquality amazing!! I upgraded my setup with an additional preamp to feed a bit more gain into the mic without additional noise and i was able to reduce the gain on the interface itself. it sounds soo goood this setup can even go to be used for professional recordings!
where did you buy it on amazon?
The only reason I would want the Blue microphones is so I could say I have a “Blue Ball” setup
Abdega hahaha😂
Lol
If u know u know😂😂
I am getting a blue snowball so thank you for boosting my need for it by 17%

You were right in the intro though. A LOT of people have a horrible quality microphone. Many even use the build-in ones of their laptop..
Lmao I have a $50 mic but I lost the USB cable and I'm to lazy to find it or grab another so laptop mic it is 😂

1:39 aaaaaaaaaah the crispness is too good
Loved the video bro keep it up. Can you do more of these live commentary videos this was pretty lit.
Fifine Mic is so good.
So glad I got it.
I have it too, Just try not to put the gain to high if you have a higher voice. It's kinda "hissy".
How is it even after 3 weeks later? Pros and cons?
I've had the upgraded version (K670) for a while its a probably the best plug and play mic under $50 for sure. If you're just looking to buy it for calls and chatting with friends its really good. If you're looking to do music stuff, again very good, just gotta remember its a condenser mic so the instruments and everything play have to be in front of it. If you're looking to game or stream with it, like Linus said defo get a mic arm so it doesn't pick up your keyboard as much. Also have to fiddle around with the audio settings abit to reduce more of the background noise

i use it too as i like the fact i can just fold it up and take it with me also holy shit the automatic feedback via the jack is amazing
Tech Phase I have also been using it for quite some time, love its -10db feature.
I agree. I didn't like the Meteorite and got the Go Mic. Way better and it's super tiny. The software that comes with it makes it so I can have my LSR305 speakers blasting and it won't pick it up in the mic at all.
Yup, that's the one I'm using too. Did a lot of research before buying it, and I'm not disappointed. Have had it for 3 years now.
Mine died during a thunderstorm 😂😂 but nonetheless a great microphone when looking for sth cheap
nice touch with the signature music
Thank you so much! I really wanted a better mic other than the mic in my headset because the mic kept making weird noises and when I tried to breath the viewers of my content could hear it.
Thanks for the help! Im getting the Fifine Mic.
Same jk I’m broke af
Literally poor
I used the fifine mic before I upgraded to a blue yeti and I *highly* recommend it. There is little difference between the new and old mics despite almost a $75 difference in price. However, it is rather quiet so it’s best used with a pop filter, boom arm and high gain; a setup that cost me just around $50.
I got the fifine usb mic last year and I love it!
the first xlr setup sounds amazing

I have the fifine and it has served me well
Just got a Neewer NW-800 condensator microphone with an arm, pop filter and phantom power supply for 40€, next thing will be a good USB interface such as Behringer's UMC202HD.
i got that mic a few months back, works well enough for me, no complaints, but i don't really make anything. and i also need a good usb dac for it like you, but the phantom power works well enough without much boost. can play youtube videos in the background on my computer while in a chat without having it picked up at my normal listening and recording volume.
you what mate?
if you want recommend me something (I probably won't upgrade to a USB interface for months though) but you won't be making friends being so aggressive.
? was just a comment, have a nice day. like the mic btw.
I was answering to Donkey Kong, sorry for the confusion
Benito Llan Matos dont worry about donkey kong. Behringers used to be kinda trash, but since their merge with Midas their quality has gone up a ton. I wouldn't recommend the one in the video, since that model still uses old internals, but I believe any model above that one has the new stuff. Just look under the mic port for "MIDAS PREAMPS" and you should be good 👌
Gotta love them smooth transactions to the ads
I use a guitar hero microphone taped to a metal coathanger. Thanks for the stand Linus.
I can absolutely vouch for the Fifine. Bought it on sale for £20 last September and it still works perfectly and sounds great over Discord etc. (my friends were genuinely stunned when I told them I was using a £20 USB mic)! I don’t and wouldn’t use it for audio production but for game chat/ streaming and even VO, it’s literally perfect! And yes using a proper mount definitely helps remedy the noise isolation issue :)
Can you link a proper mount. I just got this thing and I cant find a mount for it.

I have the xm8500 and umc22. Killer combo for cheap, perfect audio
Nice. Just about to watch a linus vid, when I get an ad featuring Linus.
As an owner of the Blue Snowball Ice, I can say that it's actually pretty sufficient. One problem though is that it's often too good at picking up background noise.
Just Thomas blue yeti owner here with voicemeeter for extra bass. Cost some more but like it alot
Yeah my snowball also picks up background noise way too much
thats weird i got the snowball ice and im told i have no background( an ac+ 2 fans runing24/7)
It filters out static type background noise (fans, AC, etc.) very well, but I find it picks up my keyboard a bit more than I'd like. Getting a cheap mic stand to raise it up off the desk helps a lot, though. They're like $10 on amazon.
i need that audio interface so i can record my guitar
Piad for a Corsair H25 and have had nothing but issues with it. Cant wait to pickup a standalone mic!
WE NEED AN UPDATED VID PLS
I've been using a Bird UM-1 mic for two years and a half now, it works flawlessly and has an inculded shock mount so I only had to buy a cheap boom stand. I'd recommend that one! (yes, it's sub-50$ excluding the arm I had to buy)
The rip headphone intro damn near killed me.
I personally use the Tonor TC 777 and it sounds so good
i love this segway to ur sponser lmao. speaking of meteorites, ting...
Fifine is the one I would go with since Blue Yeti is more than 100 bucks on Amazon right now
Personally that Fifine sounds really good. I didn't know something like that exists
Ken Reels there are cheaper mics from fifine on Amazon and they also sound really good. I bought their original mic for $21.99, the one with 3000 plus reviews, and it's awesome.
War_Destroyer I'm already in the XLR mic with a mixer setup so I wasn't in the market for one. Just like to know this kind of info when people ask me for recommendations.
Most of USB mic's sounds pretty well. I've got a Novox NC-1 and it have good, clear sound. Nad you can also find something cheaper that will be good enught.
Pred Audio is something I'm a stickler about. When I hear a microphone like that at that price point it's a discovery.
just bought fifine mic literally yesterday. it's a super fine mic.
Thanks for this vid! I was looking for a good mic becuase i was using a headset mic, and i got the FiFine k669 and i love it! thanks so much

Wow I was that exact person you described at the beginning. Then my mic broke and I stumbled on this video while staying up all night waiting for day to pick up my new Snowball Ice mic.
Fifine and Snowball ICE are the best budget choices. Just comes down to small preferences.
I love my snowball long cable it's perfect
RIP MAX
just ordered the fifine thanks
I use a microphone called the Klim Multimedia. It costs $15, and the audio is pretty good. The only problem is that it's really sensitive to noise, so it picks up pretty much every noise you can imagine. Also, the audio is a little too quiet, but I just use Levelator to fix that
I have the xm8500, and the sound quality beats everything else on the market for 20$. One heads up though. Its sensitivity is super low (0.3mV/PA, Which is equal to about -70 dB. So you need a lot of gain for it to work on decent volume
“People don’t have bad headsets these days”
Yeah when I wanna talk to someone they don’t have one at all
I Use The Blue Snowball Ice And I Love It My Mouth Is Really Close To The Mic And It Sounds Better When You Do That

2 Video Ideas I'd like to see:
1. 40 Years of Intel CPUs benchmarked. Kind of like you did with the GPUs, try and compare the most significant processors Intel has made (start with the original 8086, then maybe a 386, a Pentium 1, an early Core 2 Duo, and finally the new i7 8086K)
2. Windows Registry as fast as possible. Most people kinda know what to do with it, but tell us how it actually works, and how it improved Windows after its introduction (in Win 3.1 i think?)
I hope you read this
They already did the regristry one

follow hecking_owned on ig Why not? Benchmarking tools have been around since forever. You obviously coudn't run Cinebench, but there are some DOS-Based Benchmarks that run on an old PC-Compatible with an 8086 (e.g. the Amstrad PC1512)
I have the blue yeti microphone and I'm absolutely loving it!
yo thats over 50 dollars
I use a blue snowball microphone and it’s honestly amazing
I use the Shure SM-58 vocal mic for my youtube channel and I LOVE IT. But I had to go through a super cheap Behringer mixer to get rid of noise since my motherboard's mic amplification was dirty as hell. Strange, considering the quality of the PSU and the fact that it's a top of the line MSI p67 chipset board. I basically used the mixer as the mic amp and then put it into my Line In instead of Mic input on my board.
I am using a Rode NT1-a (wich is btw a studiomic) with my Soundcraft EPM 8 mixing console and like this combination very much because you can plug in more stuff to the mixing console like e.g. your headphones or (in my case) my tv , secundary speakers main speakers......
Motherboard audio is always going to be trash. Have you seen the kind of isolation in pro audio equipment? Motherboards don't have the space, nor dedication to actually build a decent interface.
I get you set a limit of $50 but I feel you should mention audiotechnica's AT2005USB. It has both USB and XLR input for about $70. So you can buy and use the mic with USB until you decide if you want to upgrade to XLR. I was skeptical that the limited frequency range would be noticeable(to me at least ) but found in game that for normal chat it works great.
there's like literally no point
the only benefit to getting an xlr interface like the one in the video, is that it's better than your integrated audio, and you have many more options for xlr microphones than usb
xlr is not inherently better than usb, it's just more widely supported by higher end equipment, and therefore cheaper equipment
Link Freeman I’m not saying it’s inherently better Im just offering a path of upgradability. What people choose to go with after they experience their first mic is subjective. For example I prioritize sound quality, sound isolation and ease of use so usb dynamic mics became a necessity.
A very good example of a USB mic they're not considering, that would kick every choice they made "in the arse".
Plug that puppy into the same pre-amp and things should be sweet as pie.
I also get why they set a 50$ limit, and later ignore it - It's to avoid any USB Cardioid mic, since they know it'll show how bad they are at audio setup, and it would wreck the entire premise of this and other videos they've made :)
Mr. Miss, can you explain better the ending part of your comment? Thanks
I was confused as to why they didn't mention it at first as well. When I bought my AT2005USB off Amazon it was $50 at the time. I didn't realize it had gone back up in price since then.
I just use one of those car phone holders that you can extend but sways alot when moving as my mic holder and ngl it works great as a shock mount too
you made them all sound good
Behringer UM2 is now 130 dollars on Amazon that seems to be a trend as a whole with Amazon with all XLR interfaces being over 100 dollars.
nope its still 30 bucks here, dont look on amazon go look in onlnie musicstores, there you can get it a lot cheaper or on ebay second hand. i got the behringer um2 for 25 bucks and the xm8500 for 15 bucks, together with a nice preamp and i cant complain. the sounquality is amazing, even as far to be used for professional recordings. and all of that under 70 bucks
@@sasaha8389 It has been dropping since I posted that. 3 months ago there was a huge decrease in supply everywhere not just Amazon (or at least that is why I assumed they all went up everywhere). 3 months ago you would have been very lucky to find any XLR interface for under 100 dollars wherever you looked.
i use the fifine mic for streaming and i love it
i dont regret buying it at all
Rhedius 33 hey man can you link me the stand you use for it?
