A Blue Sona Clone? In Looks....But What About Sound? IXTECH MIC-01 Dynamic XLR / USB Dynamic Mic 

A Blue Sona clone and Fifine AM8. By the way the Blue Sona is now Logitech G Yeti Studio Active.

It’s just good to see ya, Bark. Hope things are going great for you and the family. Thanks!

Every time I buy a cheap mic from Amazon the noise is terrible. Yet they sound so good on these RU-vid videos

Thanks fur sharing 🙌

Your video gave me a lot of suggestions!!! Thank you very much. Regarding the monitoring volume adjustment function, I think it should adjust the volume of the computer background music. Nowadays, I see that many microphones adjust the background music instead of the headphone output.

You know what, it sounds decent to me! Inexpensive and some pretty good features.

It's hard to beat a 58 on male voice for the same money. If you do, it probably won't be with a Chinese-made USB mic.

Looks like a Blue Sona, but sounds familiar. Makes me wonder if is another SL40 variation. The capsule mesh has the same finish that the tonor recently reviewed on Level Up, also the buttons options are the same, but just capacitive. What do you think?

Metal AM8 that sounds considerably worse. I’ll take sound over build in this case. Crazy how many budget XLR/USB mics are coming out.

There is a theory i accidentally found on an online forum from 2012 that Heil mics, american company, who makes only expensive high end mics are actually chinese OEM mics. If you google it there pictures of chinese or japanese mics that look the same as PR35 (and other models) externally and internally. What I didnt find is anyone comparing them. I find it a very interesting true crime unsolved mystery.

At the $45 price point one could do a lot worse. A whole lot worse. Personally, if that were the target budget, I would be looking pretty hard at the Fifine K669D. Of course, that is providing I had an interface to use a dynamic mic or the budget to get one. Always look forward to your real world, straight forward, reviews. Thanks for sharing Bark.

I got one recently for 37$ on amazon.

Not bad, really. Certainly not offensive. Good for the $$$.

So square. Didnt sound half bad. USB was maybe a tad better. Still preferred the 58.

50% off right now

It kind of stinks when all of the functions don't work.

Absolutely not 90 dollars for a mic that gets outclassed by a 20 dollar mic

Meh.

Time reading video 3 first min: quality check ok, price when promo more ok, price when no promo between fine and ok, usb xlr, audio headphone jack, cool sensitive button audio up down button ... Seem to be good stuff. Time reading video 3:23 min: Listening so far, your voice seems to be muted or smaller as if you were more in a box. It’s not the voice I’m used to hearing. Not being an English speaker, I don't think I'll be too influenced by what you say. I'm watching the rest. Time reading video 5:40 min : reject sound for me seem to be ok, plausive between fine and ok, usb mode for me is a no no. It's not your voice. Don't like it. I don't know the specification until now for the sound. Time to read the next. Time reading video end: it s ok for the no sound,The fact of not having any sound echoed when you touch the microphone and its "sensitive buttons" is really good. If this is really true for other people, the problem of not being able to adjust the sound of the headphones connected to the microphone is really more problematic for me if in addition (I think like you), the majority of people will buy it for USB... If there is no software to control the headset interface... At $90, no I wouldn't buy it, at $45 for the xlr mode, I think that 'I've seen your videos better, for the USB mode, here I have to say more than it only concerns me, but I didn't like the sound in USB mode and the problem of the headphone output which cannot be adjusted or not all the time, bores me. If there was not this problem yes at $45 no if the problem is persistent and well confirmed. I will try not to give an evaluation point but rather to say if I had to buy it, would I do it. My two-part answer: - xlr mode: in terms of sound quality for $90 no, for $45 I think for the quality of the microphone (which seems valid) and in terms of sound (tiny and boxy voice) I find that there is better for less expensive or at the same price. And this by taking your own test videos as a reference - usb mode: no, no minimum software and headphone monitoring problem. No sure and certain at $90 and $45 no for me supported by the problem of adjusting the monitored sound. My opinion is perhaps a little harsh. But if you're on a low budget for USB, $90 is way too much for the XLR and USB even more so in terms of the feeling I have in terms of sound quality. I don't like your voice on that mic. The 45$ for the USB and the XLR if everything worked... Especially without the software which would help to somewhat resolve the problem of adjusting the monitoring... Nope either. according to your BBSAR, I'm on a three... I didn't know I was so naughty. Sorry. Thanks again! For this test and this video. Excellent job and this still allows us to discover more gear. and to discover myself wicked.I didn't think it would be so difficult to give an opinion. I tested myself at your game, it's not that simple... I'll let you do your job, it's better... I like really your channel.

I like the sound of this one, it has that broadcaster authoritative sound on your voice for sure! BTW Have you considered doing a review of the Temu $30 U 87 clone? I’m so curious what you would make of it, and I trust your reviews more than anyone online. Also you know that Bandrew isn’t going to touch that one.
