Best Budget USB Microphone in 2023? | Maono DGM20 Review (ENGLISH)

[@2kslimey]

I’ve been audio engineering for 15+ years I can tell you for $40 this microphone is a steal for streamers and content creators. I probably wouldn’t use it to record a full album but then again it’s not impossible 😂 subscribed! Great overview of the microphone ✊

[@duekneel]

thanks man! means a lot

[@dastamararoseyork]

would u recommend this mic to someone on a budget?

[@2kslimey]

@@dastamararoseyork yea absolutely

[@dastamararoseyork]

@@2kslimey does it come with a boom arm too? if not ill have to find a different one

[@2kslimey]

@@dastamararoseyork it comes with an arm it’s actually really nice

[@shootwithhero]

First and only USB mic review I’ve seen that actually discussed cable management 🔥🔥🔥

[@duekneel]

hahaha na appreciate ko kasi talaga yung design nito sir considering na nakita ko yung design nung fifine A8.

[@Brandon-w6b]

Agreed - Shoot - placement of wires Can cause a huge issue... With entanglements... And overall procedural nuisance....👊

[@XMGi00]

The noise cancellation on this unit is very muddy for audio recordings and not as clean as the DM30, but good enough for online meetings and calls.

[@kxwjy]

Have u try recording the mic on your phone?

[@Diggixx]

I thought it was fine when i did my voice overs, might just be headset wise

[@travisdom9391]

You just stopped me from almost buying... thank you

[@Diggixx]

@@travisdom9391 just got it, i’d give it a solid 7/10 just because if you dont have a loud keyboard the noise cancellation works fine. If you cant find a different mic in your budget this one is decently good

[@BREEZYM6015]

Are you using it properly?

[@anandgupte]

Excellent review! On point start to end. Truly appreciated. Helps a ton in a purchase decision. Also, how does it perform when recording with background street noises like cars, horns, etc?

[@cryptidcloud]

sounds better in this video than it does in any recording ive done

[@mdgiebel]

Thanks for the video, I just received the clear purple version a few weeks ago for review and Im glad to see Im not the only one who is impressed with it.

[@duekneel]

enjoy!

[@amerahabib4023]

I got the same one and the noise cancelling is horrible. Doesn't work! All static!

[@julambre]

I LIKE THIS BUDGET MICROPHONE. BEEN USING THIS TODAY, MY FIRST VLOGGING MICROPHONE

[@jizzacastillon1176]

Hi. Will the noise cancellation features still works with Linux OS? I'm using Ubuntu operating system. Thanks

[@Nearhhh]

Bro please help me which one is better Solocast vs Seiren Mini or this?

[@GonzoGaming22]

Seiren mini doesnt have noise cancelation and does not work with Razer Synapse

[@whiteflameforjesus]

the audio sounds really good when you put the noise cancellation on. Do I really have to edit the audio after recording? or is it okay to use raw with noise cancellation? If I do have to edit the audio, what do you recommend to use? (Im new and will be starting soon!) Thank you!

[@duekneel]

the raw sound is good enough but it can definitely sound better with some EQ. you can use bandlab or audacity to edit. those are free audio editing programs.

[@Johnny.b0iii]

Thxs for the review i cant wait for my mic to come tomorrow. this video definitely made me certain about my purchase before using the mic

[@duekneel]

enjoy the mic man!

[@Ianrbnbrv]

How was it

[@jhoegundayao1794]

Whats your take on the microphone? Is it good or?

[@Bell-ny8cz]

Hi, I'm planning on buying a mic, I'm deciding between this one and the DM30 since their price aren't too far apart, which one would you recommend? Thank you.

[@duekneel]

i haven't used the DM30 yet so i can't tell but what i can tell you is you can never go wrong with maono

[@Bell-ny8cz]

I'm replying to this message cuz u probably won't find a comment. I have a very loud and clicky mech keyboard, will noise cancellation block it out ​@@duekneel

[@lush_one1614]

great review. I have a question for you, I have a audio technica athm40x that I want to use as a gaming headset for pubg. If I plug it to this mic, would I get sidetone? or will I be able to hear myself talk on my headphones? thank you in advance😊

[@TheMclairsSanctuary]

TYSM for this review! I've been looking to get a good gaming microphone, and I think this is the one! And now that I know it sounds good, I'm definitely getting it! Thank you!

[@smallboi2832]

Thanks for this great review!

[@Sharif.Mahmud.]

Which maono microphone will be better for voiceover/voice recording..this DGM20 or pd200x ?

[@duekneel]

both are good. if you have the budget, go for pd200x

[@dom_6537]

I have a concern regarding the noise cancellation feature. When it is turned on, will it be able to block out the sound of a mechanical keyboard, specifically the loud noise produced by blue switches? I am currently using a microphone that quickly picks up such noises, and I'm wondering if the noise cancellation will be effective in this scenario.

[@focusred4526]

I'm wondering the same thing man.

[@dom_6537]

@@focusred4526 yeah

[@duekneel]

sorry i havent tested such scenario

[@focusred4526]

Guys I found out that if you use an equalizer and download a noise suppression program your microphone doesn’t pick up any mechanical keyboard sounds (I got blue switches) I can’t lie tho, that Maono mic looks nice

[@focusred4526]

@@duekneel also I love the budget technology you cover. When you become a famous KZbinr don’t stop reviewing budget tech. 😊

[@heyanky]

which should i prefer this or Redgear Shadow Vox

[@_seoldam]

Does the quality of the mic do not change if I use a laptop?

[@duekneel]

i dont think so

[@zerodropcop]

hi brother, can i ask you a recommendation of a budget noise-cancelling mic that is not so bulky, but in a discreet size. thank you!

[@FreeThinker-dz7nj]

Hi bro What do you think about this one compared to other USB like Maono A04, PM461, Fifine T669, Seiren Mini, Solocast and other similar ones? What should I get for youtube and live streams? Nobody compares them, it's impossible to understand difference and which one is better Thanks for the video)

[@duekneel]

hey bro. i havent tried those that you have mentioned. im sorry.

[@FreeThinker-dz7nj]

@@duekneel np man, thank you I mean there are so many mics that looks identical and I cant figure out the difference, maybe viewers will answer
