I've listened to a bunch of comparissons now and i prefer the sound of the AM8 over the Shure mics every time. The AM8 just sounds more natural to me. If i want a deeper tone to my voice, like i would have with a Shure mic, i can simply EQ the AM8. Making that the other way around is almost impossible.

Thank you for making such a detailed and helpful review video! 👍I really enjoyed it!!

just go buy am8 fifine, it sounds absolutely great ❤

The XLR removed a some of the muddiness and nasally tone of the USB counterpart of the AM8. I have this mic for about 3 months now, planning to get the XLR equipment for it.

Dude. The mute button needs to change ASAP. This mic sounds soooo good for the price but the amount of times I've accidentally touched it without knowing!

Using some vst plugins and voicemeeter as a mixer currently sounds almost exact to the shure SM7B

the am8 in XLR sound better than USB, very small difference, one have to wear headphone to pick it up. but it is there.
am8 is more board casty while the mv7 is more radio voice feeling (tinnier)
thanks exactly what i need since i happen to be stuck between choosing one.

I use this mic on my channel and it does work well. However the one thing that is bad about it is the handling noise! It will pick up even the slightest bump or touch! Put this thing on a boom arm and don’t touch it, the arm, or the table/desk it’s clamped to. Other than that, great mic.

[IAmVishyDude]

The AM8 is way better than the other one

[rageexe]

You are really supposed to speak into the top of the mic so its not bad having the there mute coz its not technically the back.

Hey what recording software do you use? After updating my pc, grabbing a hyperx mic and elgato face cam pro I'm interested in starting content creation to bring more traffic to my business. I'm starting with OBS but my videos are consistently laggy. Any response or video would be awesome!

[frekeado]

This is exactly what I was looking for. I do not if I should spend that much for a good mic ? when I actually think the fifine sounds better but the Shure one is the most chosen by podcasters.... I do not know !!! HELP !

[graiglumives]

Great review! I have a budget Samson Q2U dynamic mic that is similar in features - USB and XLR interface but no RGB and no mute button. It does have an off/on switch. Coming from Q2U, I may go after the AM8 as I feel the mute button will be helpful during meetings. Thank you as well showing that AM8 lighting can be turned off totally as I am not a fan of a lot of RGB.

I have the same mic. Although it's a dynamic mic, when put on the desk, it still can pick up some noise when you type on your laptop. But the sound is still ok though.

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 YouTube 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?

[nevify]

did you apply any post processing? you sound better and louder than my am8?!

[EverydayElectronics]

love the videos. We have about the same subs but your contnent is better than mine lol. Thats what brings me here. Im looking to up my audio and video game and take it more seriously. Gained a sub from me.

[EverydayElectronics]

Xlr is picking up all the lip smacks and usb quiets them out lol

[thepauloapo]

listening on headphones for quality makes no sense for those with good speakers

[TLippyIV]

hey i have this mic and im having a tone of problems getting it to sound right, you wouldnt happen to have a discord i could reach out to you with for some help?
