play00:00

these are seven of the most popular

play00:01

budget microphones under $50 and today

play00:04

we're going to be trying to find out

play00:06

which is the best one for you all of

play00:07

these microphones are between $25 and

play00:10

$50 because I want to make a separate

play00:12

video for below 25 by the way this

play00:14

microphone here has been hugely popular

play00:16

in the last year all the mics will also

play00:18

be linked in the description so you can

play00:19

check them out whenever you want the mic

play00:21

we're going to start with is the fine

play00:23

k669b and this is a really interesting

play00:25

one the reason that this microphone is

play00:27

interesting is that the one I just

play00:28

mentioned before is actually kind of an

play00:30

upgrade of this one so both of these

play00:32

mics are actually from the same company

play00:34

they are both from fine and this mic

play00:36

here which came before this one the fine

play00:39

k669b has been a hugely popular

play00:41

microphone for such a long time you will

play00:43

hear this in a bit but the quality of

play00:45

this microphone is crazy for the price

play00:47

2,000 people bought it in the past month

play00:49

now what comes in the box is very simple

play00:51

the microphone a mic stand which is

play00:53

pretty sturdy it doesn't look the

play00:55

prettiest of course it's a budget

play00:56

microphone but it's very sturdy it works

play00:59

and it also gets the microphone pretty

play01:01

high and besides what I already

play01:03

discussed we also have a volume knob

play01:04

here okay and the microphone should be

play01:06

connected right now so I will put it on

play01:08

my desk you can see the distance from my

play01:10

mouth this is what the microphone sounds

play01:11

like and I will get it closer to my

play01:13

mouth so you can get a feeling of that

play01:15

but as I mentioned we will test all of

play01:16

that for all microphones the volume

play01:18

slider is very sensitive it's pretty

play01:20

much at a minimum now and if I get it to

play01:22

like 1/3 you will hear that it's pretty

play01:24

much peing and especially if I turn it

play01:26

on even more but you can definitely

play01:27

adjust this microphone to whatever works

play01:29

for for you now next we have the fine

play01:31

emply game and I'm not going to go too

play01:33

in depth on this microphone because I've

play01:35

been mentioning it quite a bit now as

play01:37

you can see on the bottom of the

play01:38

microphone it also has elastics that act

play01:40

like a shock mount and a shock mount

play01:42

like this helps to make sure that

play01:43

vibrations from the desk are not

play01:45

traveling through the mic stand and then

play01:47

to the microphone this is especially

play01:48

handy for a microphone standing on your

play01:50

desk because whenever you're touching

play01:52

your desk for anything usually you would

play01:54

definitely hear it okay so the

play01:55

microphone has been plugged in now I'm

play01:57

going to turn up the volume to the

play01:58

maximum okay so this is the max

play02:00

sensitivity you can already see the RGB

play02:02

by the way it does look great it's not

play02:04

changeable so you cannot connect it to

play02:06

software and then manage it yourself

play02:07

overall for the price itself this mic

play02:09

sounds amazing just like the previous

play02:11

one however do note that the build

play02:13

quality of this microphone is less than

play02:15

the previous 5in k669b this one is

play02:17

purely plastic extremely light oh I

play02:19

almost forgot you can also I'm switching

play02:22

to the shotgun now but you can mute it

play02:24

by tapping on top and then like this you

play02:26

can just get it back now the next

play02:28

microphone is a razor s mini and this is

play02:31

the first microphone by a mainstream

play02:32

brand you might think Razer doesn't

play02:34

sound like a great budget brand but for

play02:36

their streamer line and they cheap

play02:38

microphones they really do have great

play02:40

value now the one that we have is this

play02:42

one here also amazing reviews and a lot

play02:44

of them we're going to test it but this

play02:46

being $38 means that under 50 or for

play02:48

around 50 you could buy this microphone

play02:51

together with a microphone arm I'm going

play02:52

to take it with me for a second already

play02:54

but this is a typical cheap microphone

play02:56

arm and as you've heard in previous

play02:58

tests when you test the mic when it's on

play03:00

your desk pretty far away from your

play03:01

mouth and then you bring it closer it

play03:03

gets much more warm and full and study

play03:05

alike and so buying a microphone arm

play03:07

that's around I think $14 makes a huge

play03:10

difference I'm going to test all of

play03:12

these microphones together with an arm

play03:13

later and this microphone is hyper

play03:15

cardioid which means it's super focused

play03:17

on the front and everything that's

play03:18

coming from the back or from the side on

play03:20

the back is getting canceled out it is a

play03:22

pretty polished product like look at

play03:24

this if I plug in the USB here it

play03:26

completes the design and it looks super

play03:28

clean now a big downside of the mic is

play03:30

how tiny it is I mean it's a nice mic

play03:32

and it being tiny is pretty cool overall

play03:34

however this means that it's very far

play03:35

away from your mouth and I'm going to

play03:36

show you the cardioid pattern so on the

play03:38

front it's very sensitive but then when

play03:40

we move it to the back and we talk to

play03:42

the microphone like this I'm much more

play03:44

quiet than muffled and so this mic is

play03:46

very good at canceling out background

play03:48

noise the next microphone is the Blue

play03:50

Snowball ice and this is a true classic

play03:53

I don't even have the packaging of this

play03:54

microphone because it was the first mic

play03:56

that I ever bought for the channel it

play03:58

comes with a very sturdy USB cable I'm

play04:00

going to check out the exact price so

play04:02

right now it costs $47 and if you check

play04:05

out the white one ooh all right so this

play04:08

is much cheaper I'm going to use that

play04:09

price as a comparison in this video

play04:11

we're comparing budget microphones so

play04:13

the color shouldn't matter that much

play04:14

hello hello test test okay the

play04:16

microphone is working I think it sounds

play04:18

more thin than the previous ones it does

play04:20

sound very Studio like though like it

play04:22

sounds processed at least that's what it

play04:23

sounds like in my headset now now I'm

play04:25

going to go to the Windows sound

play04:26

settings let's move it up to like 90 so

play04:29

the mic is is definitely more sensitive

play04:31

now if I hold it closer it will be too

play04:33

loud I think also you shouldn't talk

play04:34

directly into the microphone you should

play04:36

always talk next to it because then look

play04:39

you still kind of Hur the P sounds but

play04:41

if you do it into the mic it's much

play04:43

worse and let's test the microphone from

play04:45

the back so this is what it sounds like

play04:47

in the front I'm going to move it I'm

play04:48

going to move it this is what it sounds

play04:50

like from the back so really interesting

play04:51

tests coming up next we have the hyperx

play04:54

solo cast and this is a mic I've tested

play04:56

one time before on the channel I tested

play04:58

this mic in my console streaming setup

play05:00

where I explained how to stream at a

play05:02

console this was the mic I used there

play05:04

and I was very impressed at that time

play05:06

now the mic makes me think of the Razer

play05:08

S mini these are both very small

play05:10

microphones they are around the same

play05:11

price let me look it up hyperx solo cast

play05:15

so this one is $40 I see that the S mini

play05:18

was 38 so pretty much the same price the

play05:20

only difference in function between

play05:22

these two mics is that the hyperx has a

play05:24

mute button on the top I feel like these

play05:26

two mics are going to perform very

play05:27

similarly this is important to note look

play05:29

at what happens if I touch my desk

play05:32

that's very loud it doesn't really have

play05:34

a shock mount but this is something to

play05:36

keep into account however I think the

play05:37

same was through with the siren mini a

play05:39

lot of these mics have that especially

play05:41

cheaper mics I don't think that this

play05:42

microphone right here the 5an amply game

play05:44

had this because it did have the shock

play05:46

mount Let's test the mute button I'm

play05:49

okay so it actually works and I'm going

play05:51

to test the mic far away from me on the

play05:53

desk I did have the P sound as next to

play05:55

the mic okay so that's better but this

play05:58

sounds very warm and very high quality I

play06:00

really like this microphone now the next

play06:02

microphone this is a very special case

play06:04

not only because it's a microphone kit

play06:06

which it is it comes with a microphone

play06:08

arm it comes with a pop filter and then

play06:10

of course the mic itself which looks

play06:12

like an XLR mic but which is actually

play06:14

USB microphone but there's another

play06:16

reason why it's a pretty special

play06:17

microphone because it was part of my

play06:20

previous mic comparison which is more

play06:21

than a year old people give me negative

play06:23

comments when I say that it sounds cheap

play06:26

because people really like microphones

play06:28

sounding full and processed however you

play06:30

can clearly hear that they tried to make

play06:32

it sound expensive by really boosting

play06:35

the fullness of this microphone I want

play06:37

to show you something first so do you

play06:39

recognize these microphones you probably

play06:41

do these are the golden bm800

play06:44

microphones they are very popular but

play06:46

the reason that Amazon is full of it is

play06:48

that this is one of the products that

play06:49

you can buy probably on Alibaba or like

play06:52

in Chinese warehouses they make a bunch

play06:54

of these and then companies put their

play06:55

own spin on it and then publish it

play06:57

online you can buy these on wish.com on

play06:59

AliExpress so they just connect XLR here

play07:02

and then they put the ox into the PC and

play07:04

it doesn't sound that good I've tested

play07:06

these microphones it sounds very bad

play07:08

actually so what I think they've done

play07:09

with this microphone is probably taken

play07:11

the internals of these types of

play07:13

microphones I'm not entirely sure but I

play07:15

think so and then there's a mini audio

play07:17

interface in the microphone and you can

play07:19

even see it on the box look on the box

play07:21

they say professional sound chip set I'm

play07:24

not sure how professional it will be but

play07:25

this chipset is not part of this cheap

play07:28

bm800 microphones but it is part of this

play07:31

microphone and that's why they can

play07:33

change how it sounds and also why they

play07:35

can make it USB you can also hear that

play07:37

it sounds pretty flat there's no depth

play07:39

in the voice there's no highs and lows

play07:41

it's just all very processed so it comes

play07:43

with a clamp for on your desk you're

play07:45

just tighten the screw on the bottom and

play07:47

then you shoving the arm overall a

play07:48

pretty nice kit for the price it's about

play07:50

$43 $44 which is a really good price for

play07:54

a microphone arm with the mic itself I

play07:56

mean this is a nice kit and let's listen

play07:58

to it I wanted to give it another chance

play08:00

I hear why people like this microphone

play08:02

it does sound very deep and full and

play08:04

processed also the pop filter kind of

play08:07

doesn't work oops it's peing let's see

play08:09

if we can adjust again here so let's

play08:11

make this 70 for example okay hello

play08:14

hello closer still Peaks let's try 30

play08:17

hello hello ah still Peaks okay so

play08:19

there's not much range in that sense so

play08:21

you can't be too close and then talk too

play08:23

loud because it's going to keep peeking

play08:25

and again I understand why people like

play08:27

the sound of this it sounds full it

play08:29

sounds processed it sounds deep in this

play08:31

price range that might be just what

play08:33

people are looking for all right now

play08:35

next is the last microphone that we're

play08:36

testing out today and this one makes the

play08:38

whole thing even more interesting

play08:40

because this probably reminds you of the

play08:43

previous microphone and I don't really

play08:44

remember if I've tested this before and

play08:46

I mean come on this microphone just

play08:48

looks like the previous one I mean

play08:50

there's actually not really a doubt

play08:51

these are the same base microphones that

play08:53

have been released by different

play08:55

companies you can also see it on the

play08:56

back they're exactly the same however

play08:58

the top is very different and what's

play09:01

inside might also be different so that's

play09:03

why I want to test both of them so the

play09:05

base of the microphone and probably the

play09:07

magnet that picks up the vibrations and

play09:09

then turns it into a signal that's

play09:11

probably the same but maybe the chip

play09:12

that they use on the inside that we also

play09:14

saw on the other product box is

play09:17

different however to be fair I think

play09:18

they might be exactly the same and I'm

play09:20

saying this because look on the back we

play09:22

have the frequency response here and

play09:24

this graph is exactly the same as this

play09:27

graph right here and then also this

play09:28

table specifications is exactly the same

play09:32

as this table right here so they

play09:34

probably use exactly the same internals

play09:36

also the chipset I might have been too

play09:38

gullible with thinking that they would

play09:39

use a base microphone and then design

play09:41

their own chipset in order to process

play09:43

the sound and make it digital oh by the

play09:46

way I forgot to check the price and I

play09:47

think this might be a bit of a downside

play09:49

here currently it seems like it's 54

play09:52

actually 55 now I'm not going to exclude

play09:54

it from this test for $5 especially

play09:56

since I'm interested to see if it's just

play09:58

a more expensive version of this one

play10:00

here so I definitely want to test it but

play10:02

just know that this one is 55 which is

play10:04

very similar to the price of these other

play10:06

mics together with a mic arm so if you

play10:08

buy a mic arm all of them will be around

play10:10

$50 so we are back at the first

play10:13

microphone now I'm going to cycle

play10:14

through all of the mics one by one so

play10:16

you can compare them I'm going to do it

play10:17

four times for four tests all right so

play10:19

this is the second mic I will put all

play10:21

information on the screen maybe now you

play10:23

will hear that this one sounds very

play10:25

similar to the previous one so this is

play10:26

the third microphone I will quickly go

play10:28

over the fourth four tests we're going

play10:30

to do the first one is this here all the

play10:31

mics on the desk out of the box the

play10:34

second one will be all of the

play10:35

microphones close to my mouth with a mic

play10:37

arm and then the third and the fourth

play10:38

test are also going to be really

play10:40

important because I'm going to do the

play10:41

same tests without a mic arm and with

play10:43

one but with background sound while

play10:45

clicking my keyboard clicking my mouse

play10:47

and that way you will be able to hear

play10:48

which microphone cancels out the

play10:50

background noise the best fourth

play10:51

microphone the Blue Snowball my first

play10:53

mic ever now please be careful when

play10:55

looking for these mics on Amazon because

play10:56

a lot of the times there are listings

play10:58

that are more expensive I will make sure

play11:00

that all my links in the description go

play11:01

to the official product pages on Amazon

play11:03

now something really important to note

play11:05

the next two microphones the last two

play11:07

ones are both going to be microphone

play11:08

kits and they will sound better than

play11:10

these microphones or at least they will

play11:12

sound warmer and more full but it's

play11:14

because they're closer to my mouth with

play11:16

a microphone arm all right so next is

play11:17

the first microphone kit the hugely

play11:19

popular at least on my channel but I

play11:21

think in general pseudo Tech sd800 it

play11:24

looks pretty premium I'm going to be

play11:25

honest I'm going to do one test for you

play11:27

the pop filter so without the with this

play11:29

one and then with this so I will blow

play11:31

pop sounds into the microphone

play11:36

itself okay I listen to it myself and

play11:39

this definitely does the job you cannot

play11:41

move the mic too close to your mouth

play11:42

because it's impossible to lower the

play11:44

sensitivity and as you hear now there is

play11:46

some peaking and some Distortion and you

play11:48

can't really get rid of it it's on the

play11:49

lowest sensitivity so you need to move

play11:51

it a bit further all right now I'm

play11:53

talking quiet because this microphone I

play11:55

think I forgot to test it I might have

play11:57

actually forgotten it was yesterday but

play11:59

hey we're testing it now and this mic is

play12:01

extremely sensitive I have to keep it

play12:03

further away from me and it might not

play12:04

sound a big deal from there but look

play12:06

from the side this mic is really far

play12:08

away from me and it still sounds very

play12:10

warm and very full now if you look on

play12:11

the box they also show the mic from the

play12:13

top but even now it will Peak when I

play12:15

talk too loud like hey see it has

play12:17

distorted and I know there will be

play12:18

comments of people saying hey you need

play12:20

to adjust the microphone sensitivity but

play12:22

it doesn't work look at this I'm going

play12:23

to do it really low look if I set this

play12:25

to 10% I mean it's really quiet right

play12:27

now but like hey even if I all close

play12:29

then it distorts so it doesn't really

play12:31

help the mic needs to be far away if you

play12:33

shout hey that's how it will sound and

play12:35

if you talk really quiet then this is

play12:37

how this mic will sound all right back

play12:38

to the first microphone the fine k669b I

play12:41

removed the stand I'm going to go

play12:43

through them a bit quicker right now now

play12:44

something useful to know is that all of

play12:46

these microphones will have a different

play12:47

polar pattern and it basically shows the

play12:49

area around the microphone and then the

play12:51

red is where the microphone will be

play12:53

sensitive from the Razer mini for

play12:55

example is a hyper cardioid mic which

play12:57

means that it's hyper sensitive from the

play12:58

front and then pretty much all the way

play13:00

around the microphone most noise gets

play13:02

canceled all right this is the Blue

play13:03

Snowball on a microphone arm and as we

play13:05

discussed before this is a very old

play13:08

microphone it released such a long time

play13:10

ago but it's still one of the

play13:12

bestselling microphones out there all

play13:13

right this is the hyperx solo cast and

play13:15

I've listened to it before with my

play13:17

headset this sounds really good for the

play13:19

price all right and we are back at the

play13:20

microphone kits we've also talked about

play13:22

most INF for you need to know about the

play13:23

polar patterns and the closeness to your

play13:25

mouth so I'm going to go quickly through

play13:26

all the remaining tests now I'm not even

play13:29

listen to this Distortion this mic from

play13:30

close is very bad and from far I mean

play13:33

it's going to be a lot of echo compared

play13:34

to the other ones on a microphone arm

play13:36

it's also more expensive than the

play13:37

previous one if you want the mic kit I

play13:40

wouldn't really go for this one I'm

play13:41

going to exclude it from the next test

play13:43

tell me in the comments if I did

play13:44

something wrong I don't think so I don't

play13:45

really like this one a last test from

play13:47

really far away I'm going to show you

play13:49

peeking hey like even that Peaks I don't

play13:52

really know about this one I sound like

play13:53

the other one okay so as promised the

play13:55

test will be very quick right now what I

play13:56

will do is I will talk into the mics

play13:58

first on the desk then on an arm and

play14:00

while doing that I will be typing my

play14:02

keyboard plus clicking my mouse now and

play14:04

then and I will be able to hear how loud

play14:06

you hear the keyboard and the mouse with

play14:08

all of the M I'll start right now this

play14:10

is a test of the fine k669b with some

play14:12

keyboard clicking on the desk all right

play14:14

next microphone this is the fine amply

play14:17

game with exactly the same test I still

play14:19

feel like they sound similar right now I

play14:20

feel like the clicking is much louder

play14:22

with this microphone compared to the

play14:24

previous one all right same test with

play14:25

the Razer siren and mini now I feel like

play14:27

this mic has a huge disadvantage AG

play14:29

because look at this from the side it is

play14:31

super small and it's really close to my

play14:33

keyboard and far from my mouth compared

play14:36

to the other microphones okay next we

play14:38

have the hyperx solo cast and this

play14:40

microphone is also pretty small but it's

play14:42

a bit taller than the Razer siren mini

play14:44

so it might perform a bit better also

play14:46

depends on the Polar pattern but this is

play14:48

how it sounds all right next is the Blue

play14:50

Snowball I feel like it's performing

play14:52

pretty well in terms of removing the

play14:53

clicks but it doesn't sound that good in

play14:56

my headphones in terms of sound quality

play14:58

all right this this is the sud s800 and

play15:01

you will see that it's a bit further

play15:02

away from my mouth than the other

play15:04

microphones that I tested on a mic arm

play15:06

and the reason is that if I put it too

play15:07

close to my mouth then it will start

play15:09

peeking so this here is about the safe

play15:11

distance and this is what it sounds like

play15:13

when I type on my keyboard I will now go

play15:15

through all of the other mics on a

play15:16

microphone arm okay so this is the fine

play15:19

k669b on a microphone arm while I'm

play15:21

typing on my keyboard clicking my mouse

play15:23

next the fine amply game now really

play15:25

important this mic is being sold in a

play15:27

microphone kits to together with an arm

play15:30

it's a very popular microphone kit the

play15:32

mic sounds great with an arm it has a

play15:34

pop filter it has RGB I'm really a fan

play15:37

of this microphone and I think a lot of

play15:39

people are going to go to this

play15:40

microphone here all right next the razor

play15:42

sarin mini and listening to this I would

play15:44

have to listen to the other microphones

play15:46

Al together also the previous one

play15:48

because I was really positive about it

play15:50

but this one sounds really good as well

play15:51

it sounds very warm I barely hear the

play15:53

keyboard and the mouse clicks it's very

play15:55

good at canceling it out all right next

play15:57

we do have the Blue Snowball this mic

play15:59

actually looks like a snowball it also

play16:01

looks pretty high quality for the price

play16:03

I remember that's what I liked when I

play16:05

bought a microphone in the first place

play16:06

all right we have two microphones to go

play16:08

this also definitely sounds good this is

play16:11

a really good microphone for the price

play16:12

so far while talking I really like this

play16:14

microphone as well all right and this is

play16:16

the last microphone this is the pseudo

play16:18

Tech st800 I'm really curious how this

play16:20

will compare to all of the other ones as

play16:22

I said before the legit listings to the

play16:24

official product pages of all of these

play16:26

microphones will be in the description

play16:28

thank you so much for for watching I

play16:29

really like making these videos and I

play16:31

hope that I will see you in one of the

play16:33

future ones have a nice day
