Maono PD200X USB / XLR Mic Review: Better than the FiFine K688? (ft: PD400X, PodMic USB, MV7 & more)

The Maono PD200X is an XLR & USB mic in one! This is a dynamic mic with a cardioid polar pattern, and it is going to be a really great mic for a lot of content creators and gamers. This mic does have RGB lights on it, which some people will love, and some won't! This mic reminded me a lot of the FiFine K688 that I reviewed a little while back, so of course I do compare those mics in this video. Those aren't the only mics in this video though!

Maono PD200X COMPARISON:
Røde PodMic USB
Shure MV7
Shure SM7b
Shure SM58
SE V7
Behringer XM8500
Mackie EM89D
Separate Comparison:
FiFine K688
Maono PD400X

If you are thinking about purchasing this mic, I would recommend listening to the tests/audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
