  • Have we found the Best USB Mic under $100? That's what we are discussing today with the Fifine K678, a new cardioid condenser microphone that's taking aim at the Blue Yeti. At the time of this video, getting your hands on a good USB microphone for streaming, voiceover, or podcasting work is difficult as supply chains are strained and there is limited stock everywhere. The Blue Yeti is by far the most popular choice for USB condenser mics, so we are conducting a side-by-side comparison with the new Fifine K678. For good measure, we also compare these mics to some popular dynamic xlr microphones, the Rode PodMic and the Electro Voice RE320.

    • @MenajErieStudio
      @MenajErieStudio  Před 3 lety +2

      Hi Vivek, thanks for watching! I often recommend cardioid dynamic microphones for situations where you are trying to isolate your voice and reduce background noise. Something like the ATR2100x or the Samson Q2U would be great affordable choices. Also, if you can afford it, I also highly recommend getting a boom arm for your mic to reduce keyboard/desk noise. Hope that helps!

      So if you had to pick between the two, I think the K678 is a more feature rich, better spec'd mic. But, if you are recording in an untreated or noisy room, you might be better off with a Dynamic Cardiod mic, like the Samson Q2u. It will do a better job of rejecting noise and room reverb.
