My family and I are finally kicking off a podcast I’ve been wanting to do. This would be a great addition to my setup for my new podcast.

[@Yamakasi-LTD]

Hi. When you tested “XLR PLOSIVES TEST” you have two connectors XLR and USB plugged. How they work together? Or XLR on priority when bought connected? Thanks

[@LiktechTz]

This would be an Awesome combo to use for game streaming but recording gameplays with voice overs for me personally and along with Coops with friends. REALLY GOOD REVIEW 👍 AND RGB is always welcome

[@freakytechreviews]

Yep, I'ma NEED them for my setup! Matches my PC rig. Great video!

[@SoupPot]

Thank you for showing some gaming with it. That really helped me, loved hearing that the headphone audio quality was good.

[@sethlevine8747]

Thanks for sharing all the deets. I’m considering using these products for a podcast with my buddy about the intersection of Tolkien and current technology advances like LLMs and other generative AI systems.

[@hvacjedi]

This would help start my podcasting channel for HVAC content. Your detail in explaining the products was great specially the difference in using usb cable versus xlr. Great content and video. I will keep my fingers crossed for a chance at one of these bundles.

[@selw0nk]

The all white FiFine is looking really good.

[@CoZChristopher]

It looooooks soooo good and solid on a setup!!!!

[@bibianotecnico2506]

I bought this am8w microphone. Waiting to arrive. Thank you for posting this video

[@MSKH1970]

Great review. Fifine does have some quality budget friendly products.

[@jhouse9911]

Straight out of the gate I’m loving the aesthetics of the square mic and that low profile boom arm. 🤌🏼👌🏼

[@al3xxli]

that white really pops off - so clean!

[@FloridaMan_7]

Seems like a great solution! I'm going to return my Samson Q2U and go with this setup!

[@BLNKT.]

I'm glad high quality audio and nice setups are so affordable these days. Does the BM88 hold up to wear/scratches like the white elgato arm though? I've seen reviews on Amazon where the paint gets chipped easily (according to them) but I haven't seen people say that about the elgato arm.

[@travelontrips]

great video, thanks! I'm thinking of buying this as my very first podcast set up.

[@tenshikara1218]

Great review! Your style of presenting is really thorough and helpful, thank you. I am planning on getting back into making videos and start streaming after a long hiatous, so all my equipment is like 10 years outdated. Would be over the moon, if I got lucky and won the giveaway

[@nataliaacastilloo]

Loved the review, all details mentiones, thank you!! The setup looks really good. I would love to record my literature podcast since my mic stopped working out of nowhere and get a nice quality if i'm lucky enough.

[@Kyuurei_]

That combo seems like an insane value. I'd love to test it myself! Here's hoping for some luck :D

[@shunrai94]

Thanks for the review. The all white is such a clean setup!

[@DarkPathEmporium]

Amazing value, would use it 100% for gaming videos and heroforge tutorials.

[@8bitaztech]

Thorough review. Very well done. Would be a nice upgrade from my current setup.

[@davykyrian1987]

Id really love to get one of these no joke It would make my year! But anyway good luck to all of you❤

[@lexxholly]

The sound quality sounds good and I like the adjustable stand.

[@MARIOSONGZ]

Thanks for what you do, brother. Keep up the good work.

[@CoZChristopher]

Thank you brother ❤️❤️

[@MARIOSONGZ]

Yw always, brother, I'm happy for you and your channel. You have put in a ton of hard work.

[@BacktotheRetroReview]

That boom arm is amazing. I would love to see you review the fifine k669d.

[@mccawbird5]

Very well done video. Just purchased all three so this video was very helpful . Only question, could you use xlr cables as well as usb to allow the mixer to run the mic but also allow the rgb lights and touch to mute?

[@Nothing.void22]

does it sag/bend so bad? on the part of table clamp and first level bar of the mic

[@FifineZier]

Awesome video!! Looking forward to the next video!!! 😍

[@WOTBoxTV]

Another useful video, many thanks Christopher! Which do you prefer out of the BM88 and the Thronmax S6? Interested to hear which you consider better in you experience? Thanks again. 👍

[@CoZChristopher]

Hey! The Thronmax has more weight support by about 30%. Because of that, the Thronmax makes more sense for me due to always testing different microphones and it comes with a plate to add other attachments as well. The BM88 has that white powder coating so on an aesthetic desk, I might go with that, but as a creator, the Thronmax is the one for me due to utility!

[@WOTBoxTV]

@@CoZChristopher appreciate the lightning quick response! Thanks. It was the answer I was kind of expecting. The Thronmax was the one I favoured for its apparent added versatility, glad to hear you echoed my thoughts. Have a great day.

[@jimbobo5295]

This would be amazing for Squad, would be nice using a mixer for my gaming.

[@nelsoncaliz6297]

That setup would look good to kick off my ministry.

[@L3X_T3CH]

Dude that setup is no joke looks and sounds amazing could be a great addition to the setup I'm building and would make me want to stream more also Great video pal as always Stay Cozy

[@jamesandersonfoster3024]

The mic sounds good in this video - what's it's self-noise level? How would you compare it to, say, the AT2020+ usb?

[@OniRedd]

Mic sounds great!

[@pyle_vi]

i got the am8 but with the standard metal spring arm and it's fallen apart. i'm glad i found this review convincing me to buy the boom arm and even the xlr setup to get better audio. you've got a new subscriber!

[@CoZChristopher]

Yes this boom arm will be much better. Thank you!!! Cheers and Happy Holidays!

[@ladyvirtua]

Hi, how do I connect this mic with my Android phone pls? I want to be able to record videos on my phone, using this mic as external mic. Thx.

[@cludford]

This setup would be good for a class podcast

[@Epikht]

Great video

[@apratimsingh1306]

should i connect my headphones to the jack given on mic bottom or the jack in my laptop after connecting the mic via usb

[@CoZChristopher]

Either is fine, if you want to control the sound at the mic, connect there for the direct monitoring of your voice. In the pc won’t necessarily give you direct monitoring unless it’s part of the program you’re using. Hope this helps.

[@katxtoonz]

I love doing voiceovers and want to get into voicing animated characters, but I could really use a professional mic. 😮

[@rayraydundaddi]

So what’s your budget of if I may ask? Cause you don’t need to go all out with the SM7B.

[@katxtoonz]

@@rayraydundaddi Don't have one, I just figured I'd choose one and save toward it. I just know my Maono isn't considered a professional mic and need one that doesn't pick up my desktop's engine noises. 😅

[@Daniel-lx7hn]

new sub from Vietnam. love your B roll bro

[@CoZChristopher]

Thank you brother! I really appreciate that. I want to increase the quality of my production and learn how to tell stories a little better even when product showcasing! I appreciate you subbing and chatting!! 🙏🏾

[@carlkidd752]

I've not watched a number of your videos. I do enjoy how you present information, I just refuse to buy into Apples* walled garden ecosystem. I will never stream, no discord*, phone is talk and text and I stopped buying consoles with the previous generation as I did not care for any of the games. I DO still play ancient games like Zelda, Link, Mario, FF, Dragon Warrior. I find them fun and their limited graphics is not an issue. I do wish game designers would focus on "fun", stability, interesting things to do, pick what you want in a game and dead last is "pretty". At 70, I'm likely in a very niche group. I got coaxed into PC gaming about 16 years ago and found I enjoyed it. What "should" make my group of consumers valuable is our ability to buy the toys we want. But one of the reasons we have cash is we were smart with our money. One example that springs to mind is the cost of a 4090 versus a 7900XTX. If your seconds are that valuable, why are you not using a work station? Basically gaming? Lots of $400-600 options. I used an EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 as it performed well at 4k and replacements were absurdly priced until fairly recently. Waiting and watching to see what Black Friday and Cyber Monday will offer.

[@TheGeekGauntletPodcast]

Can that boom arm hold the Shure SM7B mic.

[@spartygaming6657]

first, and ready for the giveaway

[@kuroshi8045]

Bro you look like jalen brunson 😂

[@xeven2185]

I bought the am8 but the thing that makes me very dissatisfied is that it has electric sound or buzzing sound, but if you turn the angle, it will be fine. I want to ask you if you have this kind of problem?

[@CoZChristopher]

Hey I haven’t had that with mine? Are you hearing that with it on USB or XLR? When you say angle, are you saying location of the mic, oh also, have you tried with different cables? It should be ok with most interfaces if it’s being used XLR but make sure it’s not getting phantom power.

[@xeven2185]

I tried my XLR cable with Yamaha MG10XU and tried a different type C cable, but I still have the same problem. Also, the angle I'm talking about is that I tilted the microphone's vertical angle to make the "Static Buzzing Noise". also, I didn't get what you mean by not getting phantom power. Also thank you so much for the response so instant.

[@xeven2185]

correction: I tilted the microphone's vertical angle that makes the "Static Buzzing Noise" ***

[@CoZChristopher]

@@xeven2185 ahhh ok so when you tilt it vertically it’s making the noise and that’s with both USB-C and XLR cable it’s making the same sound? That could be inside the mic if that’s the case. I was asking if you had maybe sent a gain boost to the mic from your interface using phantom power or a gain boost setting. a Perhaps that was causing the extra noise. I would check to make sure all channels the mic is connected to is flat with no EQ or anything added at first. Then if it’s still happening when the mic is tilting up, my guess is it’s potentially inside the mic which isn’t typical if the cables also aren’t having issues. If that’s the case and you ordered through Amazon order a replacement and check to see how long before you have to return the first one. Test out the second one to see if it also has problems. If so then I’d look into your preamps on your audio interface. Bit of you did usb straight to pc and got that noise that would negate the fault being at the interface most likely

[@xeven2185]

@@CoZChristopher I have already applied for replacement, but I really appreciate your reply it's really specific

[@RodPriester]

How does the ffine compare to the thronmax s6 twist?

[@CoZChristopher]

Very similar in build and design but the Thronmax has more weight capacity! Which for long term is better, in case you switch to a heavier mic. The BM88 is 1.5kg or around 3ilbs and the S6 is 2.2kg or around 4ilbs

[@jupiter3420]

Would this boom arm work on a round glass desk

[@CoZChristopher]

It would. It has soft surface on the inside of the clamp. Maybe use something on the under side where the clamp comes up to apply even pressure in that spot like a small coaster or something.

[@zlajko763]

Its a pretty nice microphone.

[@CreepperReaper]

great video and subscribed!
