Fifine vs Maono - The Better Mic Company? (ft. Maono PD200x, Maono PD400x, Fifine AM8 Fifine Tank 3) 

Undoubtedly, your review is the best of the best! You are an underrated RU-vidr because I found more descriptive & detailed information about microphones in your videos. Your expertise in reviewing microphones is unparalleled. Your videos are a valuable resource for anyone looking to buy a microphone, as they offer in-depth analysis and detailed information that is hard to find elsewhere. Your ability to explain complex technical concepts in an easy-to-understand manner is impressive due to your attention to detail. It's clear that you put a lot of effort into your videos, and your viewers are lucky to have access to such high-quality content. Keep up the great work!

I'm a big fan of both companies. I've purchased and used the AM8, K699D, PD100X, and PD400X. The AM8 gets the most use because I can just hook it up real quick and it just sounds fabulous for meetings, presentations and voiceovers when I'm at home. I also think the PD400x deserves more attention and love. Maybe it's because people expect a lot at that price point, where the Lewitt LCT 240 and other great mics live, but to me it delivers nicely.

Love the video! Nailed it perfectly. For me, the PM500 is my favorite maono mic, darker condenser mic. And the fifine k669d with the big SM7B pop filter is my favorite fifine mic.

The comparison involving video resolution and lighting is truly impressive. Good job, Dave!

The only thing I want to change on the Moano is the Orange design on the side (or is that part of the stand/mount it comes on? That would be great.)

As someone who's just getting into Streaming and Creator Content on another Channel, I realized (a week after I began streaming recently) that the RODE NT USB+ I bought for $150, was a mistake. I should've gone with a DYNAMIC Mic, such as either of these two. For me, the Maono PD400x on another guy's video sounded so good. It sounded like the famous Pod Mic from Rode, but better because it didn't sound as Harsh in the Highs right out of the Box and it had some better Lows that really seemed to give the guy's voice just a small but nice touch of warmth when compared to the Pod Mic from Rode. It also has way way way more bells and whistles that are actually functional (for my use case) and that are beautifully implemented such as the Touch to Mute feature and the Gain Knob on the Front. I wish I hadn't bought the Rode NT USB+ Condenser Mic because now that I realize it, I always have background noise from (primarily) an AC Unit that always needs to be on (or else it gets UNCOMFORTABLE AS HECK in this room) and also, now that I think about it, I LOVE the idea of a Mic having a XLR *AND* a USB/USB C input! I thought the Shure MV7 was the only one that did this but no! These two companies are leading the way as well with the future of that design style. That's so amazing and flexible IMO. I missed the Maono PD400x Lightning Deal on Amazon last night by like 1 hour man and I feel so stupid. It was selling for only $112 with 10% off, I think. That's such a killer deal when I compare it by both its Sound performance and it's physical Features (both Virtually, and Physically) Seriously, the fact that "RODE CENTRAL" is all I get for my RODE NT USB+ is laughable when compared to Maono's. It's SO barebones compared to Maono, a Brand I've never even heard of before until today. I think they recently just updated their Link software right? It looks AMAZING. that's what a Microphone Software should STRIVE to look like IMO. It has so much function and great colors going on and it just looks so clean and fun to look at IMO. For me, I think I will be getting the FIFINE Low Profile Mount Arm since it's basically just the already really awesome EL GATO Low Profile Arm, and slap the Maono on top of it. These two deserve to join forces. That was the conclusion I came to even beofre I watchedt his video just now. Can't wait. Great video by the way. I loved those comparisons and thank you for reminding me about the Bit Rate!!! One of the reasons I chose the RODE NT USB+ over the RODE NT USB, was because it had 24 bit over 16 bit! I could hear the difference! Gotta love that 24 Bit Rate.

Hey Dave new subscriber here after watching so many videos, I was wondering if you would recommend the a6v from Fifine or dm20 from Maono for gaming and streaming at a beginner level

i ordered maono pd200x a few days ago, its yet to arrive but i chose it coz of your reviews. I just personally felt that fifine is a bit too sharp or like too clear for my liking, maono felt a little more smoother

Also, I love that you shot this (or part of it at least) in 1080P but Outputted it in 4K so we could benefit from the Lossless 1080P shot-footage! That's literally what I was just talking to my Brother about tonight because he said he wanted a 4K Camera for RU-vid. I was like NO MAN! The trick is to get a solid 1080P Camera and then output your footage (when rendering yk) in 4K. It looked great man

we need a review of the fifine sc3w

decent but has more potential of post processing is much better for voice overs and naration type stuff but fifine aprouch is much better for streamers and online chatting, both are good but has different area of specialty which is better for some people and for some not, but for me i prefer some of the fifine design such as the am8 over maono pd200 x especially if they remove the rgb lights, but i prefer the maono mics high sample bit rate for better post editing and post sound quality,

Do you prefer Maono mics, or Fifine mics? 🤔
