Today I review the FiFine K669 USB Podcast Mic which is a $25 Budget USB Microphone that performs pretty well for the price. It likely won't work well for any professional applications, but for personal use, it should be sufficient.

Today we review the Razer Seiren Elite, the new Dynamic USB streaming microphone from Razer. This thing has a built in analog/digital limiter, records in 16-bit 48kHz, and offers 0 latency monitoring. Unfortunately, it has a high noise floor, the limiter is too harsh and makes it sound overly compressed, and it doesn’t have any shock absorption. All around, in theory this microphone is great, but in execution, it doesn’t cut.
Buy the Razer Seiren Elite (but are you sure?)

Today I review the sE Electronics VR2 which is an active ribbon mic with a healthy sensitivity and a nice extension into the treble and air frequencies. I think this is a great option for adding to a mic locker if you want a ribbon mic in your mic locker.

Today I test a very cheap dynamic microphone from Samson that is under $20, the M10. This microphone has a very gritty top end, and rolls off above 12kHz. It. Is not the best sounding microphone, but it is tolerable, and when used with an audio interface, it performs better than a $15 microphone should.

Today I review a budget condenser microphone that is under $100 and sounds way better than it has any right to sound. The worker bee provided very usable tones on electric guitar, acoustic guitar, singing, and spoken word. The low end did get a little bit loose and uncontrolled, but a little bit of of corrective EQ could clear this right up. Ultimately for $90 the kit you get is hard to beat.

In today's casual Friday video I heard Jacob Collier talking about mics in his recent breakdown of A Christmas Song, and had to make a video on it. So that's what I'm doing, making a video on some microphone's that Jacob Collier uses because I think it's interesting and we can learn something from it.
