omg thank you so much for the comparison , you definately deserve more subscribers , thanx for clearing out all the doubts , the difference is days and night , my background noise is crazy and the horns and cars passing by always interrupt , definately going with am8 , i like how the quality of the voice is improved in am8
You’re welcome. And thank you for the feedback. I do prefer the am8 as well. Especially when using it over xlr.
Wow! Thanks Man Very good comparison 👌
great review ty
Been debating on which of these two to get for a while so this was a great help!! Amazing quality video
Thanks for the feedback and sub! Question is…. Which are you getting and why?
@@TekToyzGaming think I’m going to end up with the AM8 !! I use a laptop and the fans are super loud so the noise suppression that’s already built into the mic will be super handy
@@meggle12 Good choice for your scenario. Question.. do your fans typically visit you often? Can just tell them keep it down while you record.
@@meggle12hi how is the mic rn?
@@qfrvd hi! It’s amazing, definitely worth the money, it’s so much better than I imagined :) highly recommend
your channel is so underrated it's a crime, also thank you for comparing the two! i was thinking of which one to buy, and this helped me decide
Thanks for the feedback. I think KZhead favors bigger channels more. Smaller channels are up against the algorithm tide. Trying to push past that tide. Happy I was able to help you decide on a mic. Got more mics coming. Always get my hands on new releases.
the best review yet keep up the good work man
many thanks for the feedback. Getting better one video at a time. Hey If you’re interested I have a giveaway running. Check it out here: Gaming PC Air vs Liquid Cooling + GIVEAWAY: Cooler Master ML280 Mirror kzhead.info/sun/aNGhgJyBoGpmjWw/bejne.html
My question is: Why don't you have more subscribers? I've watched a few videos that you made, and I must say they are all super high quality and you explain everything so well! You honestly deserve more recognition and I really appreciate your item reviews. Also I will definitely order the AM8 as soon as possible!
Thanks you are too kind. I ask myself the same question often. Maybe others are ‘buying’ their subscribers or something 🤷🏽♂️. The algorithm is a mysterious thing. I do appreciate the following I do have so far. It’s real people who like to engage such as yourself😉
hello can you make a video about the sound editing in obs studio to make the AM8 sound better
you do really deserve more subs and views man dont be lazy tho, keep it up!!!
Thanks for the feedback👍🏽and I agree😬
Thank you for your help :) I bought the A8 but looking at also getting the AM8
Nice to have both condenser and dynamic flavors👍🏽
Since you brought two of em. Which should I go for?? Which is the best one?
@__Rizzler__ that depends on how you plan to use it. If you need distance the A8 is your choice. If you will use up close mostly definitely the AM8.
I think AM8's sound is less noisy and more soft, but the clarity of the sound is better at A8😮 I've been looking around for reviews like this! A very good quality video. Thank you!
The AM8 sounds "nicer" but it's not nearly as clear as the A8. The A8 picks up way more detail. The AM8 sounds muddy/muffled, to me.
I cannot dispute that👍🏽
@@TekToyzGaming Hi! Can you tell me what is the difference between A8 plus and A9? Because I plan to buy one and cant decide which one to get...
A8 will also pick up more backround noise tho i guess
But the AM8 rejects more noise. Condenser mics are the worst.
Sorry somehow I missed this. Did you get the mic yet? I think the A9 might be a better pick. AM8 over both.
If this is a paid advertising . You deserve it . Perfect and amazing explain and trial for all the cases. Thanks man u deserve the 1 mil sub
Thanks I really appreciate your feedback. Glad this helped out.
I thought you had more subscribers, very good footage. My level of English is not the best, especially by ear. AM8 has much better sound than A8 and I understand English much better with AM8. He sounds much better. I wish you progress in your activities on KZhead! ❤
Thanks for the kind words. The AM8 does sound better with voice for sure. The subs will come 😁
From the moment he covers lipstick and face masks, his clicks/subs will ten fold! It is sick. Women.
I paused the video at 10:32 just to make this comment and I would like to say I'm leaning towards the Fifine AM8 because I feel like it would be best for me so thank for this video it was very helpful, also I am subscribing now :))
Thanks for the feedback and sub! 👍🏽
I just recently bought the A8 and I think the biggest draw for me in comparison to the AM8 is the ease of access to mute. For someone who regularly needs to mute, having a hardware toggle that's as big and easy to access is great. The one of the AM8 isn't ideal, I even saw you struggle a bit to mute it.
Yea you make a good point. Having that click button to mute is easier and you can ‘feel’ the response. With touch capacitive mute you can ‘miss’ the mark and can’t really feel that it’s been pressed. You do have to look and see that the led is red to know for sure you’re muted.
As an AM8 owner, no hardware toggle is actually good. Soft touching the sensor on AM8 without any noise is a bless
@@striderhere Agreed. All hardware toggles usually produce a click noise. Some are really loud.
Great review!
Thank you!
Hey I was thinking of buying a new mic and I am really leaning towards am8. I was also considering the k688 but can't really hear the difference so I think I will just take the cheaper one - am8. Also do you know if am8 picks up a lot of keyboard sounds? Anyway amazing video!
Thanks for the visit and question. The am8 can pick up keyboard sounds if close enough. I suggest using some sort of noise canceling software to mitigate it. Or at least have the mic on a boom arm.
Thx my dude m8 it is, glad I waited I didn't even know there was a new mic from fifine almost got the a8
Great choice. Good thing you looked it up first. I’m here for you 👍🏽
Hi! Why is this your only video I ever saw?? I almost went for the looks of the A8. But I found a great deal on the AM8 plus boomarm so I might just ditch the fancy lightning of the A8 and not let it steal my shine 🤣 thanks so much!
Hi there. It doesn’t have to be the only video you ever saw of mine. You can watch all of them!😁 lol. If you got a deal on the mic and arm I say go for it. But before you do you might want to check fifines new mics recently released.
Hi! Your video is very helpful. Btw I'm looking for a microphone to teach online via google meet and there's a lot of noise around me (cars, kids, dogs...), which one should I choose in this case? I'm considering AM8 but still want to hear from you. Thanks.
In this scenario the am8 would be better. The fifine tank 3 does an even better job with noise. Sounds like you may even need something with active noise cancellation.
Hey man! Very nice review. Im currently looking for a microphone, mostly for voice acting. Since they are both currently at very simmilar prices, i am very undecided between both. Could you suggest me one? Big hug
Hey appreciate the feedback. So if you have a very quite room then I would suggest the A8 here. If not go with the am8. This one is hard to beat at this price.
hii, thisideo helped a ton and im going with the am8 :) if you could please link your boomarm?
Glad I could help. Oh you don’t want my boom arm. It was like 15 buck 😂. Any cheaper it would be made out of plastic.
i love this vid it’s so helpful nd entertaining tbh LOL but which one do u think i shld get ? i don’t stream or edit anything , i jst want to talk to my friends on discord ( i talk w rly quiet voice smtimes so that’s a problem ) and play valorant etc which one’s better ?
Awe thanks for the feedback! For that purpose I would just go with the A8 tbh. Save yourself a few bucks and still sound good.
@@TekToyzGamingu’re most wlcm :D thank you so much for thatt , might be considering a white a8 ! would thr be any benefits if i bought the am8 ?
@@codilyn7328 for your purpose there wouldn’t be much benefit other than aesthetics. The am8 is also significantly bigger. One other thing is that it has an audio monitoring volume knob on front if you’re going to be doing any monitoring of audio.
@@codilyn7328 for your purpose there wouldn’t be much benefit other than aesthetics. The am8 is also significantly bigger. One other is that it has an audio monitoring volume knob if you’re going to be monitoring audio.
Hi codilyn, if your voice is soft, the less sensitive dynamic mic AM8 may not be quite suitable, but it does add more bass to your voice to make it sounds full, which is definitely a plus point to you. But overall the most important thing is whether the sound is loud enough, the A8 is better at reproducing loud and clear sound than the AM8.
Very nice video, probably going to but am8, it looks more accurate, voice sounds better. I liked everything + subbed.
Thanks for the feedback and support👍🏽.
I have the A8. It records a lot of background noises (like the fan of my gamer notebook), I think it's because it's a condenser microphone. AM8 it's dynamic, so it should capture less. Best choice is the AM8 in my opinion, although you have to talk very close to the microphone. About the ANC, are you applying this filter inside a software, like Audacity ANC, for example? Or the microphone itself has it inside it?
Yea condensers and dynamics are built different for different purposes. I use OBS studio for the noise suppression. Works great.
Wow, the diffirence is night and day! Thank you for your video. Could you also do a comparisment between AM8 and K669?
Yea that’s kind of what I thought. Sure I can compare, the AM8 is better. Done! Lol. I have the k669b as well. AM8 trumps both of these.
@@TekToyzGaming Thx! Gosh, now i want to upgrade my K669 so badly, too bad they're out of stock for my region. Also i wonder, do you have an external audiocard? Is there really a diffirence between using AM8 via USB or XLR?
No external audio card for me needed. Only pc. I do own a sound mixer and can use xlr with it. Honestly if you’re just using the mic to talk you can’t really tell too much the difference between usb and xlr input audio. Usb has improved over the years.
Hi RefalaStas, it depends on your use environment and the character of your voice. The condenser K669 will reproduce a much clearer sound while the audio from the AM8 is warmer and fuller. If your voice is already quite bassy, then the K669 could be a better choice, or we would recommend the A8 that appeared in the video for both gaming or recording. If you're quite concerned about the noises, then the dynamic mic AM8 is the one to go for.
@@FIFINE I already use EQ for K669 so i hope i will not be dissapointed with AM8 that i recently purchased. I'll just tune the settings and it shall sound fine. And some one said that if i were to use XLR and Audiocard, the mic's "presets" shall be bypassed and i'll get myself a raw sound. Is that correct?
Nice review - not sure why majority of ppl go for a condensor mic (without even bothering on checking their room/environment). Standard streaming for gamers, etc... dynamic mic for sure.
Thanks. Agreed. If you have a loud environment you’d wanna go with the mic that rejects that best. Condensers usually pick it all up unless you’re using noise suppression software.
Great video, just bought AM8 after watching this, first impressions are good and hopefully I will learn how to get rid of the breathing sounds to fully put this bad boy into work 😀
Yea it’s a good mic. For breathing sounds will need to try some noise cancellation apps. I use the built in one for OBS.
@@TekToyzGaming thanks for the tip
is it exhaling noise? It may help to put the mic at an angle pointing to the corner of your mouth / nose.
amazing vid bro
Thanks a mil! Appreciate the feedback.
hello, im wondering what one you suggest! i am deciding between these to but i like the am8 a bit more but im not sure, what one do you guys think
It mostly depends on what you’re using it for. If for gaming either of these are good. AM8 has more noise rejection. The a8 has a bigger pick up.
good video! can you do comparison between am8 and k688 on which one is better?
Thanks for the feedback. I haven’t gotten my hands on the k668 yet. As a dynamic mic the k688 would be very comparable to the am8 in terms of audio quality. It think it really balls down to the style and features you prefer.
i share a room(same wall too lol) with my gf who also uses a mic, i think the am8 would be perfect. been looking for a cheaper dynamic mic with good noise suppression. thanks
Yea you’re gonna need the am8 for better noise rejection 👍🏽
You did a really good quality video that is very informative :) thanks!
Appreciate the feedback👍🏽. Hope this helped you choose the AM8 mic lol
I know the noise suppression works on OBS and Nvidia but I need to use the mic also for Zoom and Teams for work from home. Is there a way to add noise suppression to the mic itself to use it in calls?
I believe you can still run OBS in the background while using zoom.
SteelSeries Sonar
Hi. Please tell me which microphone is better to choose for podcasts A9(A8 PLUS) or AM8. Which one will have better sound quality?
I can only vouch for the am8 as I have not gotten my hands on the A8 plus yet. The AM8 will do better noise rejection but may not have as much pick up or have. The A9 does have 4 condenser modes however with 4 mics built in. You can literally talk from the front and back of it at the same time.
🔥🔥
My friend, what do you use to apply the filters? I mean, I may use Goyo in OBS to create my courses and another filter to deal with background and cancellation noise, but in case I want to present something life like a webinar, or video conference most of the applications as Google Meet or Zoom have something for cancellation noise, but I don't find the way to deal with the background (environment, kids, car noise), the only thing that works is Krisp, but I'm curious if you use something else, I use a mac M1, I know I was using Linux but the company changed my laptop to a MAC M1.
Thanks for the question. Im afraid I use OBS noise suppression only. Does this not work for you?
What noise suppression softwares do you use? the one i tried cuts me off and I sound glitchy
I use the native suppression filter in OBS.
hi man, which one do you choose considering an environment with a lot of noise, AM8 or A6V (for streams)? do you think there is much difference from one to the other? a big hug from Brazil
If you’re streaming next to train tracks then you will need the AM8 for better noise rejection. Or you can get the a6v and use noise cancellation software.
the noises are from the family talking, that's all, do you think the AM8 is still better or can I go with the A8 or A6V?
@@nicoringa6917 if there’s talking in background then definitely want the am8. The other 2 have more pickup so the talking will be captured.
Unfortunately in my country they don't sell the AM8 (without a heckload of shipping fee) so I had to settle for the A8 which arrived today. I'll make sure to work on those filters just right, but I'm a streamer so I don't do much "post", sigh.
Hi. Thanks for the sub. Darn sorry to hear. The A8 is not a bad option either.

@@MissLiliDelaney You can’t go wrong with either of these mics😉
What software are you using for noise suppression and such? It made such a difference
Hi. I am using OBS Studio noise suppression.
What software do you use and at what setting for the am8? the default, vs your settings is night and day, crisp. Thanks
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you noticed the difference in sound quality with the AM8. I use OBS with noise suppression, compression and limiter.
thanks!@@TekToyzGaming
hi, sir. i want to ask what mic you can recommend for singers that have tight budget?
Hi There. Tight budget you say.... Well my 2 favorite budget mics right now are this AM8 and the Zealsound BKD-12A. Check out the review on that one. if you have a decent sound booth the zealsound would be better than the AM8.
@@TekToyzGaming Thank you so much, sir! More videos to come!
Can I use A8 3.5 jack for headphone connection and listen sound from my PC ?
You are correct my friend. You can use the mics’ 3.5mm port as passthrough audio for your pc.
Muito boa avaliação, obrigado

@@degolau8631 obrigado. agradeço o elogio. concordo.
What noise suppression software did you use and could i use it with discord?
I used OBS Studio for the noise suppression. It will work with discord. Discord does have its own noise suppression filter as well.
can u give us your obs settings for noise reduction ??
Absolutely. You might laugh but I just add the noise suppression filter. That’s it. No fiddling with settings for it. Not doing anything sophisticated with it. Aside from that I add a small amount of limiter to keep it from spiking pass the red.
Hey there, which mic would you suggest if you're gaming and chatting with friends?
Hey! I would say the A8 would be good for that scenario. I like the AM8 sound better, but it’s all about what’s fitting for the purpose.
Bro your channel is soo underrated
Thanks 🙏🏼 hoping the algorithm takes notice too😆
Hi, which would you recommend for asmrvideos?
I would recommend the am8 in xlr mode.
Please help! I just got it and it still sounds the same as my other bad mic, it doesnt sound clear like these youtubers and tiktokers that used the AM8! I was wondering if i needed to do something specific to make it sound better and clear?
Sorry you’re having trouble. I didn’t do anything to the am8 to fix anything as it just worked fine. What are you connecting it to and what software are you using? Is it a direct connection or are you using a hub with other devices? Are you using xlr or usb? have you tested it on more than one computer?
Nice video. What app do you use for the noise suppression?
Thanks. I use OBS studio built-in noise suppression filters.
Hi. I use the mic for talking in discord or in game. Which Fifine microphone would you recommend me? The room is noisy mainly because of the coolers in my PC.
I would recommend the AM8 as it picks up less background noise.
what mic did u get ?
@@codilyn7328 Unfortunately DeustchePost didn't deliver my package so I ordered Fifine K658 from Amazon and it's still a good option.
Hi ist alexa, the dynamic mics would be the choice in your case. If you don't want to bother with the XLR features, you can go for the K658 with only a USB connection. But we still recommend the ones with XLR connections, so that you don't have to replace the whole mic for the future upgrade.
Nice, what obs filter do you use in the video?
I used noise suppression and compressor .
@@TekToyzGaming okay thanks, your am8 sounds great, i'll try it, still setting my am8 honestly the hiss still drive me insane, your windows setting and mic dial? mine is, Windows 90% and mic dial about 80%
@@soversatile I have my mic dial to 100% in video. OBS %100, Windows 75%. It was the hiss of the A8 that pushed me to the AM8.
@@TekToyzGaming alright, thanks man, this mic is really amazing
@@soversatile You’re welcome. Thanks for the questions. This will help others who may want to know more about it. Just received a new mic in the mail. Time for another option lol.
What do you think about the A8 plus? M8 vs A8+?
Are you referring to the thronmax m8?
What filters were you using / how were you able to get the audio to sound better?
I used the built in filters in OBS. Didn’t have anything special to make it sound good as these mics already sound good.
@@TekToyzGamingmy AM8 seems to sound slightly muffled for some reason! Thank you though because now I’ve learned about OBS voice filters from your comment! ❤️
@@ayitseden do you have another mic to test audio output with? Just to see if you get the same muffle issue with mic inputs. Also try another usb cable if using usb. Cables can cause issues too.
@@TekToyzGaming So I just tried it without a boom arm, and oddly it sounds better? Waaay less muffled but now it goes from my voice being normal to being quiet and cutting out some of the start of some words! Thinking it was the low gain but higher gain makes it seem less quality. aaaah!
@@ayitseden lol. Don’t have any filters running in ObS? Noise suppression or compression filters can do what you’re describing. You can also get line interference from boom arm if metal.
I can't find the am8 anywhere online in stock, do you know where I could find some?
Might have to pull in our @FIFINE peeps here. I see it on Amazon but won’t ship until March 22nd.
@@TekToyzGaming I can't find anywhere that delivers to Australia even in Amazon! That just shows how popular this mic has become haha
@@ellislarkin6378 yea it’s a pretty popular mic for sure. It’s even sold out on the Fifine site.
Is there a way to keep it from picking up loud keyboard presses while gaming?
The one that will do a better job with keyboard noise is the AM8. To remove all keyboard noise you will need some artificial noise suppression, like I added with OBS.
@@TekToyzGaming Does OBS do it in real time or just for recordings? I can still hear the clicking clacks of my keyboard in recordings even with suggested filters. I’ll have to try the Nvidia app.
@@briangarrotto6951 OBS can do it in real time, it just has to be open and running in the background. You can try combining noise suppression with noise gate. Test with different levels, just enough so that it’s not cutting your voice out as well.
Hi Brian, it's a dynamic microphone, compared to condenser mics, it picks up much less keyboard sound already. But if those sounds are still pretty loud to you, you can consider using with a boom arm to get the mic further away from the keyboard while closer to your mouth.
The A8 has more depth, and emphasis.
Great video. Already sub for you. Hope you will create more great video like this. 😊
Thank for the sub! No worries more on the way.
for voiceovers,discord with friends,streaming,live mic audio non edited would u take the am8 or the a8
I would have to say the AM8 as in all of these instances I can be close enough to the mic to sound best, and the am8 sounds better and don’t really need to edit audio. AM8 has the better noise rejection as well.
If the environment is noisy or cares about the environment noise, AM8 dynamic mic will be the first choice.
@@FIFINEwhat should i go 4? For talking with my friends in discord, clicksounds like keyboard asmr
@@Tyricss For ASMR, the A8Plus could easily be one of the best choice.
How do you add the filters to the mics?
I use OBS Studio to add filters to mics.
@@TekToyzGaming Wow that was quick. Loved the video I ended up getting it because of it ❤️
yo, I have a question. I have A8 and microphone volume settings in windows do nothing. Only on microphone I can adjust volume. Is it okay or theres something wrong?
Should be just fine controlling mic volume with your mic alone. Just be sure that if you mute your mic in windows that your mic doesn't actually get muted.
Please tell me which microphone is best for me to choose up to $100? Input data: the current microphone is a t669 with a pantograph, the sound insulation of the room is 5/10, there are no sound panels (but there is a desire to purchase), an audio card is only built into the computer. Goals: voice-over of videos, recording videos on KZhead or tick tok. Most likely in the future I will buy a sound card. Now I am most inclined to a dynamic microphone, but I am also considering condenser ones. Now the choice has fallen on 2 models from fifine: AM8 and K688. Which of these microphones should I choose, or are there better solutions?
Coincidentally Today I am getting the k688 for review. I am inclined to say the k688 as it’s a dynamic microphone. My experience with the am8 dynamic mic has been great. I have swapped out my A8 for it. The a8 does have good dynamic range. Can’t say for sure until it get the k688 in my hands.
the am8 for sure sounds better to me
Hi can I say which would be best for ASMR with keyboard placed in front of mic?
Hi 👋🏽. Do you plan to do asmr with the keyboard or don’t want the keyboard to be heard in your audio?
@@TekToyzGaming hi ty for getting back to me I want it to be heard defo, I’m guessing the A8 in that case right? I just didn’t want any background noise issues, but the A8 also sounds like it does well for noise reduction to some extent.
@@Nicole_Zyon yea I think the A8 would be better suited for this. However if you were to use the AM8 via xlr/mixer then that would be better for it. Sorry. May have made the choice harder lol.
@@TekToyzGaming 😅right lol. All good I appreciate the help either way. May just have to try both and see which I prefer. Also was wondering if you could do a best settings video for A8 (especially for noise reduction) in a DAW. Great vids, subbed and thanks for help.
@@Nicole_Zyon thanks. That’s actually a good video to make. I get enough inquiries about settings and noise reduction options. I actually don’t do much but still should make a video anyway. Also I have a new Fifine mic as another option. New video on dropping in a few days.
because of the noise test i will go with the am8, mind if i post the noise comparison clip on my youtube? I will credit you of course brother
Nice. The noise test did it for you. Sure feel free to post/share. Happy I could help you decide👍🏽
@@TekToyzGaming Thank you man! :)
Do you have a video on ur filters?
I should make a video on the audio filters, though they are so basic I didn't think it would warrant one. I really only use noise suppression and some compression directly from OBS. But I suppose I can get into the depths a little more with a dedicated video👍
@@TekToyzGaming A video would be sick! thanks!
For me the A8 sounds much better, hear 9:45 to 9:50 ("more so i think with the AM8") and compare that to AM8 on 8:47 to 8:57. The AM8 might be somewhat cleaner yes, but the musicality/ the vibe of your voice is much better on the A8. And that is what makes the wow-effect for me. Had this also on two other videos with A8, just wow about the vibe of the voice. For people with louder background might be the AM8 btter if filtering isn't good enough also for people who like the "cleaner" (don't know if it's the accurate word?: more sober/plain?) sound. Other than that the A8 wins for me.
This is a good point. I think perhaps for something like singing the frequency range and sensitivity level of the a8 would do the job better. Kinda really depends what you need a mic for and how you’re gonna use it.
hi can you make a tutorial on how to add those filters?
Not a bad idea since I get a lot of inquiries about it. Adding it to my todo list.
Got the Fifine A8 for 30Fr./$/€ ink. Shipment. What kind of noise-canceling did you use?
Good price. Unused the noise cancellation from OBS Studio.
@@TekToyzGaming My goodness, OBS is the best, used from everyone I ask. And it is absolute free. How do they do that?
@@memoli801 they get paid from big sponsors like KZhead and NVIDIA amongst several others.
which budget mic do you suggest for asmr?
Never done asmr, but I would think that dynamic mic may do better. But of course it depends on the type of asmr. related to the mics in this video the AM8 may be better.
what were u using for the suppression and compression
I was using OBS built in filters.
@TekToyzGaming any app u recommend that i could use to make it sound like that for discord use or just talking and playing?
@@xavierperez7720 discord has their own built in noise cancellation feature. You can enable that in settings. I like OBS because it’s free and you can leave it running in the background with just the audio filters enabled. Krisp is another but only free for 1 hour a day. Audacity is another free option.
I am Wondering how you turn on the noise suppression on the am8
I use OBS Studio to apply a noise filter the mic.
could we get the filters you use for the mics ?
Sure. Easy as downloading and installing OBS. The filters are there. All free. I mostly just use noise suppression and limiter.
@@TekToyzGaming just noise suppression on that in the video? wow it sounds really good, i ordered the am8 it arrives tmrw, super hyped for this mic!
@@auzcr yea the mic is good enough that you don’t have to do too much processing for it.
Which boomarm do you use for the am8?
I use a super cheap boom arm I found about a year ago on Amazon. Probably can find it on wish_com too😂
@@TekToyzGaming do you know what its called because i dont know which boomarms are compatible
what boom arm works with am8?
The AM8 is designed to fit with just about any boom arm. It accommodates both 3/4 and 5/8 mounts.
Just any standard arm will work perfectly fine with it!
should do a review between the am8 and the k688!!!
That would be an interesting faceoff 👍🏽. Need to get my hands on one first though.
@@TekToyzGaming Ill be looking forward to it because i have been torn between the am8 and the k688 for days
@@scuffiitv these 2 good mics. I think the audio quality is very close. You just get less features and flare with the k688. But the k688 comes with a shock mount.
Dear, which is better for ASMR video?
The am8 for sure.
The AmpliGame A8Plus will be the best choice for its omnidirectional and stereo modes that you can choose from.
Are there any noise suppression VST's?
Do you mean for OBS or just in general? On the market there are a lot of options. Off top of the head I think of Blue Lab Audio Denoiser. Works in OBS and on entire pc.
I would like to buy an AM8 microphone, but I want to make sure; can I connect this microphone to the phone, whether it is an iPhone or Android?
This will work with mobile devices, including ipads.
@@TekToyzGaming Thank you for answering my question
@@M7trf_games I welcome all the questions 🤙🏽
I don't know, for me A8 sounds more natural and organic.
which of these microphones is better if i want to play on discord and make stream with a clear sound ?
Hey thanks for the visit. In your scenario both are just as good. They both are very clear and sound good. Now if you said you’re going to stream near a waterfall then that changes which is better.
@@TekToyzGaming ok so if the only noises that i have to support are my pc and my keyboard which one would be better. And i also saw that the am8 has the advantage of having the xlr but i don’t knwo if it’s really usefull. Thx for your really fast answer btw
@@enguerrandbeuzen9949 if that’s the only noise you have in your room then you can go with the A8. The AM8 will reject noise better.
@@TekToyzGaming ok thx for the advice, i will take the a8 👍🏻
@@enguerrandbeuzen9949 You're welcome🙂
Is the Fifine A8 usable on the PS5?
Yep it is 👍🏽
Which one do you think is better? cuz I really can't tell.
My preference is the am8. It’s Better at ambient noise mitigation. A8 has bigger pick up and slightly better clarity.
How does am8 compare to the maono dm30
The DM30 is ok. You can do some tweaking with it live using the software. Even so I still prefer the am8. The sound quality is still superior.
Hi Marco, but we're afraid that these two are two completely different mics. If you're in a quiet room and your voice is bassy, a condenser mic is the better choice. Otherwise, go for a dynamic one when using it in a noisy environment. What Maono DM30 aims for is the AmpliGame A8 or A6V.
Que soporte de micro utilizas?
te refieres al brazo del micro? En este momento, use un brazo articulado barato de $20.
@@TekToyzGaming si,me refiero al brazo.Vale qualquier modelo o hay uno exacto con las medidas del am8,si es así podrías pasar el modelo o uno compatible?
@@collpepe8423 el que tengo está en el suelo y no montado sobre la mesa. lo he tenido por un tiempo. es como este a.co/d/4hfltrZ
the bad thing about the a8 is that my tap to mute says it is on mute but people can still hear me
Oh really!? Haven't had that yet with mine. Are you %100 sure you don't have another input source going anywhere else?
Sorry about this issue, how did you connect the AM8 through XLR or USB? If you use only an XLR connection, the function of the touch-mute will stop working.
Fifine really up the USB mic game
Agreed 👍🏽. Interested in seeing what they put out next.
Fifine Ampligame AM8 stand link please
Hi. Are you referring to the desktop stand that comes with it?
11:14 The entire purpose of a dynamic microphone is to capture sound from up close. Claiming that a condenser microphone is better is misleading, as they are different technologies. Pretty much 60% of review videos on KZhead are created by kids, such as this person in question, who lack in-depth knowledge.
Yes they are structurally engineered different internally. I think you may have inspired me to create a more technically in-depth hardware differences video and how both types work internally for all the kids out here, and even some adults. Thanks for the feedback 👍🏽
Sharing your expertise in this manner can help clear up misconceptions and provide a more informed perspective on these technologies. Please go ahead and learn more about microphone frequency, bit depth, and other insights so that your videos are genuinely helpful, and I'm sure many will appreciate your hard work. This will establish you as a professional rather than a novice. Audio and music are highly sensitive topics for professional gamers, artists and investors. ✌
Is it working now?
Hello there! Yup all working.
looked like u put a lot more plosive emphasis on the am8 than the a8
Yea it seems that way. Either way they both do well with plosives.
Umm why is amazon showing its price 90$
I see $57 on Amazon for the am8. What country are you ordering from? a.co/d/dlUJ1yM
India
@@leenab.r5917 yea not sure what the pricing will be in the different countries they cater to.
I feel like the AM8 sounds like the A8 with a sock on top of it
🤣🤣🤣 and not an extra windscreen? Gotta be a sock.
Personally I think neither of these are the best fifine, I think the best one is the fifine ampligame
There’s a few Ampligame mics. Which one you like best? I also think these are no longer the best with their 2 new mics out, the tank 3 and am6!
a 15-minute video with only 1 minute of direct audio quality test.. ridiculous
From 04:13 to 12:46 is all direct audio quality testing from the microphones. Not sure we understand what you’re referring to?
so... what is better now?
That my friend I’ve come to learn is a matter of need. You have a loud environment, the am8 suits the need better, you have a quieter environment the a8 could be better. You have an audio mixer, the am8 has xlr, you have your mic out of camera shot, the a8 is better.
@@TekToyzGaming I want to use it for discord.
@@rorschach6285 should be fine with the a8. Discord has a built in noise cancellation feature just in case.
