UNDER $50 Microphones for Streaming, Gaming, and More!

[@ExpertScientist]

I have the Siren Mini, and i'll say if you have it on your desk and not on an arm, then the built in shock mount makes a big difference compared to the HyperX.

[@TheTechne]

I love the siren mini, just wish it had a mute button on it

[@ExpertScientist]

@@TheTechne Agreed, that would be a great addition.

[@kalFN_]

Yes I own the Siren Mini, it sure does pack a punch for how little it is LOL. But it is an amazing mic, but like you said if it had a mute button it would be 5x times better

[@poophere278]

@@TheTechne which one would you suggest

[@strizzy773]

@@poophere278 in the vid he says yeti nano #1, seiren mini #2, then solocast #3, and not the others

[@righteousred723]

I got the hyperx when it first came out, in part due to your review. Treats me great and people love my voice with it lol

[@K-----]

Sometimes it really is worth saving a bit more and going for even the lowest product in the next price category.

[@HDAD419]

The hyperx solocast sound so good but it really needs a shock mount. Muwano fairy sounds good too.

[@dossprod]

maonos 50 dollar mic kit is amazing i used it for music and i wasn't disappointed. $50 for a mic, pop filter ,wind sock, boom arm and 2 Velcro straps for cable managing is def worth.

[@markmontes4736]

I actually use the siren mini with my PS5! Since the controller has a mute button on it, the lack of a mute on the mic itself is no big deal. I will say though it does pick up a few background noises sometimes but overall it's much better than built in mics

[@cannixtv]

I really appreciate you making this video Techne! I don’t have much money for a new mic and this really helps. Thanks again!

[@mrdavebach]

I picked up the HyperX Solocast for just $35. Took some of the savings and bought a boom arm with shock mount for $18. For just $53 total I feel I've got a super solid and affordable setup.

[@jaydenlaskowski9878]

Thinking about doing the same thing. What boom arm did you buy?

[@mrdavebach]

@@jaydenlaskowski9878 the mic boom ended up being garbage. At this time I'm just using the stand the mic came with. Not sure if I'm going to explore other mic booms after all.

[@Danelink]

You always upload the exact thing I'm looking for at the exact time I start looking for it! Thanks for the great content!

[@MrGhostYT_]

Brooo, I was actually thinking about getting a mic and this video popped up. What's with your videos popping up at the right moment?

[@TheTechne]

Lol

[@MrGhostYT_]

[@lIlllIIIIll]

Great review channel by the way, started watching you about a year ago, and you seem genuinely very enthusiastic about the products you review. Nice to see your channel grow, keep up the good work!

[@NightMotorcyclist]

I tried the ModMic and V-Moda BoomPro and the sound from the V-Moda is clearer without being tinny and sounds better overall than the ModMic. It can be a bit fiddly but nothing too bad. The ModMic seems to be overrated when it comes to headset mics but it is better than most mics that ship with headsets nowadays.

[@Bartoldo007]

and what's the model and make of the mic you are using for the video? thanks.

[@CDMS_pt]

Where is the Logitech g335 final review ??

[@scyzorpl]

I own a blue yeti and i have to say that i liked the sound of the Fairy

[@Leo-wi3hp]

you i get the solo cast or the serien mini, what i love about the solo cast is that is has the mute button unlike the serien

[@Nick-ov8ed]

Don't forget the Sudotack series 800 810 900. For me the best performance per coin.

[@RichMoneyBaby]

where is the link for Moano Fairy ???

[@smiIingman]

I know this headset is a bit on the "older" side but could you do a review of the Creative Sound blasterX H6 wireless headset? People have said they are super good for the price but i would love to see your energetic and stinkin' cozy take on em.

[@petercruz1993]

I was so unimpressed by the Yeti Nano. I sold it after hating it for ages

[@gotmilk2423]

Techne, you should review some of the mics from FiFine. They are really well sounding for the price and they just came out with a microphone that looks like the hyperx quad cast. The one I recommend reviewing is the t669 which is the one I have

[@gotmilk2423]

Or got to mention that the t669 also comes with a mic arm pop filter and some other stuff I don’t know the name of

[@esnixx7858]

Hey man, how is the mic? Is the mic quality clear and can i use it for gaming and twitch?

[@dough4985]

Maybe you should try checking out the FiFine T669 Microphone, it’s comes with its own Mic stand and other stuff, it's price is also 59.99. And I loved the video! Keep it up.

[@synth-_-5093]

I love the solocast, but the fact that it doesnt have a built in shock mount is a deal breaker for me :( I'll probably go with the seiren mini.

[@Aystric]

What’s a shock mount

[@synth-_-5093]

@@Aystric did u hear the vibrations coming from the mic when hitting the table and typing? A shock mount prevents this

[@joshuahperez3117]

I have the hyperx solocast. and its by far my favorite accessory i have ever bought, the touch mute is so clutch No question #1.

[@gyurmagyuri6440]

Exactly the video I need now 😃 thanks very much Edit: I didn't know anything about the Maono, but the AU-902 (Fairy)′s build and sound quality (nad its feature set) surprised me for the price! I found the perfect microphone for myself just because you showed this mic in this video! A massive thank you for this, too!

[@marcuslagergren5632]

I already have the Seiren Mini. I like it and it works fine for me :)

[@bryy6684]

What about fifine a6v

[@svulieutenant]

I’m curious how the razer doesn’t sound like a jet engine cause mine does. I’ve replaced the fans, thermal paste and even factory reset. It sounds like this without anything open but if I open the internet or game then here comes the jet engine😂

[@isiraarchana5079]

Yep , its good that you bought the Yeti nano here

[@btd1114]

I love the yeti Nano with the Logitech hub blue software it make a huge difference

[@jarviz17]

Can u try out the Maono Au-a03 if im not wrong, comes with a mic, pop filter, mic arm all out of the box for under 40-50 bucks

[@bigfungus2331]

hs80 or steelseries arctis 9/7?

[@totalnia9076]

Nice, but in Bulgaria is different thing. Poor people high prices.

[@strizzy773]

awesome vid thanks, you helped me pick out my keyboard earlier in the year! i want the seiren mini but dunno if i want to risk the build quality. will definately go with yeti nano if its at that sale price. if its not, ill go with razer.

Hey techne i dont want to be annoying asking u alot of questions what do i upgrade first headset or keyboard current g213 headset hyperx stinger core wireless last time i asked what headset u said black shark v2 from ur keyboard comparison u hated razer huntsman mini and love hyperx alloy core 60% what do i upgrade first and is the v2 can it be connected via usb a directly to the ps4

[@andrews.9286]

You should put the mics on a boom arm to test them properly. You should also adjust the gain so they were all similar in volume. Your testing methods make judging the sound quality very difficult.

[@TheTechne]

A boom arm isn’t included. That would be altering the product. We are reviewing mics here not mic mods

[@andrews.9286]

@@TheTechne Your are contradicting yourself, you put the Snowball on a mic stand and used an amp for the mod mic. So you altered those products. Other mic reviewers boom the mics and adjust the volume so the viewer can tell the difference in sound quality. Also most streamers and KZbinrs boom the mic, so it would be better to test the mic the way it would be used by content creators. I am trying to give you constructive criticism. Check out what other mic reviewers do.

also where I live the Seiren Mini is under 30$ so I would definitely purchase it when I have saved enough money

[@darktamer1089]

My friend uses the Seiren Mini, on discord it actually sounds really good, but apparently when he tries to use it in the voice chats of video games it either sounds terrible or really quiet.

I could be your voice software. Discord, Webex, Zoom etc. A lot of them have an "auto gain function" and background noise reduction, etc. Disable all of those functions in your voice/meeting software it should fix it.
