I appreciate your research!

Q2U still kicks ass and sounds great. Sounds best of these to my ears.

@NilankaGrrr 2 years ago

Thanks for the review :)

The Rode sounded terrible. The K688 sounded the best. Don’t need a mic with its own software for crappy limiter, etc.

Good review... got this for my first mic for my channel
For low budget inc... it's perfect. For now

@ladytubesock 9 months ago

yes buy one but I highly recommend getting the whole arm setup

@lightning-audio-and-reviews 2 years ago

I think the q2u and this are probably the best budget microphones out there and I think the q2u sounds phenomenal on it's kind of funny but there's been videos where I put it up against way more expensive microphones and people said hey we like that one better we like the cheap one better so I don't know, I guess if you match it up to the right voice

But these things are both amazing for the money

Wish you did the 400x review

@yebogogo64 2 years ago

Q2U very clear

@thecrispyice 2 years ago

Just started checking mics out as I plan to get the Maono PD200x and this channel rocks! Subscribed!

In my ear , Q2U in USB mode sound OK than XLR mode

@Viktoria_witheveryone 2 years ago

Of course! The MAONO PD200X is a budget-friendly microphone.

Is it good for recording singing vocals or is it good for singing?

@Asr.1st 2 years ago

What mic arm should I get to go with it?

@slood 8 months ago

don't want to overpay for useless rgb but good comparison

@preskeee 2 years ago

whats the resonance on this microphone? is it very sensitive to like desk hits or when you move your mouse very abruptly (like in gaming...)?

@shdhdhlike3051 1 year ago

I was just watching this video and saw something about the Fifine K688. I've had mine for a year, and sometimes when it's plugged in with USB or XLR, the mic sound goes broke, like at 0:58 . I have to unplug it and plug it back in to fix it. I don't know why it's breaking down so fast. 😢"
