The Maono to me, sounded less metallic than the Yeti and way more natural than the FiFine. The tone of your voice sounded warmer than the other two. Just my 2 cents. I just ordered the PM421 an hour ago. Great video by the way.

Update, i received my Au-PM421. I do 20 to 30 software demos via Zoom a week. It's a game changer for me, it boasted the sound quality and my sitting position at the same time. I love that mic and the customers do too.

I received my Maono PM422 about 2 weeks ago and am very happy with the sound quality. I was using a gaming headset with mic for about 9 months and always seemed to struggle with sound quality. I do wish they had 2 pads but never thought of using the pad you suggested so definitely going to get one. Another issue I had was my main computer desktop is very thick (I think 2") and the clamp would not fit, but luckily I had gotten a side desk and was able to clamp the mic stand to it. Otherwise I would have had to drill a hole to place the arm into...which would have worked as well. As for the differences between the 421 and 422? 422 has a Headset input directly under the gain mic and a metal mic mount that the mic screws down into. Other than a few more $ I am pretty sure it is the same. Great Review 👍

@jsmww4 жыл бұрын
Hey just wanted to let you know that Maono has stopped selling the PM421 everywhere and is now selling the PM422, which from the looks of it the only difference is that there is a Headset port. They are now charging 82.99 for the PM422, and it seems like the other budget mics you've reviewed have also gone up in price. I wonder if it is due to Covid but oh well, bully me for trying to buy a mic now of all times.

Maono did sound nice. Blue yeti sounded more neutral. However, I'm surprised people put 100% volume gain in windows. I would rather use 65% for windows and increase the volume gain on the mic. My testing showed that produced better sound. Too bad the maono didn't have more volume at distance. Wish I could have heard that.

fifine has a new mic out called the K678, which also comes with a mute button. as of right now they don't offer a kit with that one but I'm assuming they'll eventually make one just like they did with the previous K669 (standard tripod) / T669 (full arm kit). the thing is that the prices are inflated atm, so it would cost quite a bit more... the new K678 is retailing for about 77$ (standard tripod) and was about 15$ less than that when it came out... so yeah. I'd probably wait for the prices to settle or some sales to come up...

@MagicFlyinPotato4 жыл бұрын
This style of mic is a condenser microphone which means it picks up sound from one direction. That is where the Name, Mic Mute and Gain control is at. There is a big difference in sound quality when talking into the top (Which is a different style of microphone than the PM series). I just did a test on my own and talking into the top makes one sound distant and the quality is not as good as talking into the front as these are built for.
