FIFINE - AmpliGame AM8

Get that am8 bro. Pair it with nvidia broadcast.

maono pd100x or fifine am8. great quality and di gaano pricey

Don't get the HyperX Quadcast. It's almost $100, it doesn't sound that great, and it's a condenser mic, which means if you're in a noisy room, it will pick up everything. Fifine makes some pretty good dynamic mics for around $50. And as someone else mentioned, their AM8 is USB and XLR, so you could grab that, use it over USB and if you decide to get an XLR interface later you don't have to buy a new mic.

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.

Rapaz, depende. O Headset lhe dá toda uma mobilidade e praticidade que não se encontra em microfones de mesa. Eu só recomendo usar um de mesa se o seu Headset for um de entrada ou ruim. Eu tenho um Redragon Zeus, com microfone destacável e tudo mais e após adquirir um AM8 (esse da imagem), sinceramente, não vi muita diferença, pelo contrário tive mais trabalho, pois tive que conseguir um suporte, pois esse que vem nele é super pequeno e esse tipo de microfone vc tem que usar colado na boca, coisa de 5cm de distância, então, em questão de conforto o microfone de mesa já saiu perdendo. Além disso, de ter que usar o microfone colado na boca (o que causa um certo desconforto por muito tempo), tem a questão da regulagem que no meu PC o microfone ficou super baixo, mesmo calibrando e ajustando tudo, eu tenho que falar mais alto do que quando falava com o headset e qualidade geral não foi como se tivesse ido da água para vinho. Resumindo, tive que arrumar um suporte maior, tenho que usar ele colado na boca para não tá falando alto e tenho que usar um software externo para calibragem do áudio em tempo real, para ele não ficar tão baixo.

Out of those two I'd go with the am8. If you had an interface I'd suggest an sm58 may not be the sexiest mic to look at but sounds good and is easy to drive. I recently picked up a used rode procaster Which should hold me to I can get my hands on a re20 :-)

Amazon says its 15k now wtf! I bought it for around 4-5k ish. But missed on the pink one tho sed.

I bought the Fifine AM8 quite a while back and still use it till this day. After watching multiple videos comparing microphones, I found the AM8 being the most faithful in reproducing a person's voice. Something like the Fifine K688 makes your voice sound deeper than it should.

Eu tenho esse exato microfone (fifine am8), então posso te dar um feedback bacana. Sobre microfone de mesa: Se você não usar um braço, pode ficar desconfortável. Testei deixando na mesa e senti que estava sem espaço, mesmo minha mesa sendo grande. Eu esbarrava no mic com frequência, achei péssimo, então me obriguei a comprar um braço articulado. Com o braço, a experiência se tornou MUITO melhor. Se for comprar o suporte, vai ter espaço na sua mesa + uma qualidade de áudio boa, bem melhor doq os headsets. Sobre esse mic: Em geral, acho ótimo. O microfone é lindo, tem um led variado, a supressão de ruídos é muito boa e ele possui uma ótima qualidade de áudio. Mas você deve estar ciente de uma coisa: ele é um microfone dinâmico, e isso faz bastante diferença

For under $100 you could get the Fifine AM8, Samson Q2U, or if you can find it on sale the Samson Q9U. You'd have to get a mic arm to go with those mics and that'd add $20-50 depending on which one you get.

I would recommend the mic arm in the link below. It's low profile and can be swung out of the way when you're not using it. And if you want to stay within your budget, you could get the Fifine AM8 + the mic arm for around $100. The build quality of the AM8 isn't quite as good as the Podmic or the AT2040 that I mentioned, but the audio quality is just fine as long as you set the gain right. There are plenty of YT videos you can look for on how to set the gain. And again, if you don't want the mic directly in front of you, a condenser would probably be a better choice. You could also forgo the mic arm and just use a desktop stand. It'll just be more sensitive to room noise and background noise. Fifine, Maono, and HyperX have budget condenser mics that sound pretty good for around $50.

I have fifine am8 and it's good enough for calls and meetings.

if used properly and placed properly you can sound very nice with a inexpensive mic like the fifine AM8 which is about 40-50 bucks, this works for you tube vidoes, podcasting and stuff like that but your not going to get the quality you need for voice acting out of a budget mic like this. a good cheap mic will get you off to a good start until you can get something better but fixing your room acoustics, if you build some acoustic panels your self and put them in the correct spots in your room ( lots of tutorials on yotube ) get a descent audio interface 100-300 bucks and a descent xlr Condenser mic which will probably cost you 200-500 bucks If you want pro voice acting quality recordings. The room is actually the most important, A 10k dollar mic will sound horrible in a bad room. but a 100 dollar mic will sound quite nice in a good room

Fifine am8 100000% been using it for a while now on a boom arm and you can use xlr or Type c to connect it to your pc + you can directly connect your IEMs or headphones jacks onto the mic directly if youre not using headphones

Fifine AM8 can be had as low as $45 on Amazon. USB/XLR. Sounds good both ways. But it's definitely better when paired with an interface over XLR

i recommend you the fifine am8 i have it and it's really good + you get an arm with it

I'd honestly recommend saving some more, as a good mic can really make a difference. If you REALLY want a mic around that price I'd recommend the fifine am8. Depending on where you live it might be too expensive tho

As someone who uses absolutely no headphones and has no speakers (only the audio from my monitor playing) i use this mic from amazon # FIFINE USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone for Podcast Recording, PC Computer Gaming Streaming Mic with RGB Light, Mute Button, Headphones Jack, Desktop Stand, Vocal Mic for Singing YouTube-AmpliGame AM8

in 2025 i would recommend to grab a fifine am8 or k688 + any cheap low profile mic arm mount (no, not the 100 bucks elgato or the rode psa1). low profile will move the mic from bellow monitors and can be stored back while not in use. this works a lot better when you also are using a iPhone/ webcam for facetracking than the more common scissor mechanism. both those mics are usb/ xlr combo. meaning you can start with usb only and down the Road upgrade the quality adding an xlr cable + audio interface. the best deal nowadays (in features for a streamer) that has clean mic gain of 70 db, is the vocaster one/two. it has features like plug a phone to send audio, like a voice call or play music/ sound effects from your phone. last time i saw them at 50 / 70 bucks on discount. rn the vocaster two is going for 100 bucks.

To the OP! To further add, do not skimp out on the CPU (Processor)! While the GPU is an integral part of the system, a cheap CPU and strong GPU will only hamper your overall experience and lead to bottlenecking and stuttering models. Look into a CPU that performs well at multitasking situations as the goal here is not to just only play games, but to be able to play, run your streaming software, your vtuber software, multiple browser tabs, and then whatever else you have, all at the same time. Now the bigger question is what is your budget? That is the best question anyone should be asking as most of these things (aside from the pc) can be upgraded over time. However, like many other streamers have said, Audio is extremely important, but you can get away with low cost items that are affordable and just fine. If you are starting out, look into the fifine AM8 and their SC3 dac as its entry level and easy enough to obtain while still producing comparable audio and being able to adjust your mic gains and mute on the fly. The comment about acoustic paneling is dependent on how your room is already setup. If you have bare walls and a large room where everything sounds like an echo chamber, then sure by all means. But if you have enough items that are decorative, and the room is reasonable size and setup, this would be a choice you can look into if you feel that all of your tweaks to your audio settings just aren't cutting it.
