Review: FIFINE AmpliGame AM6T, the New Budget Mic King

Our friends over at FIFINE have sent us another microphone to review: their AM6T Condenser Microphone Kit. Today, we are going to see what the mic has to offer for gamers, streamers, and podcasters. Can a USB mic match the quality of an XLR mic?

FIFINE has consistently offered high-quality budget products that punch above their weight class, and their track record for great USB microphones is pretty solid.

First, I notice the nice box presentation and how the products are stored. You have a lot of foam to hold items in place and ensure nothing gets broken in transit. In the box, you get the AM6T Microphone with a metal attachable pop filter, a high-quality braided USB-A to USB-C cable, a boom arm stand, and a C-clamp.

Let’s get the money talk out of the way. The kit reviewed here is $71.99. The AM6 mic itself goes for around $59.99 with a small plate for an on-desk stand. For $12 more, you get a solid boom arm and a longer, more durable cable. The cable is crucial because this is a USB-C microphone.

The build quality of the AM6T is very good for the materials used. The mic’s mostly plastic body comes with metal grills as well as three knobs — one in the front, two on the side.

The large knob on the front changes your audio balance between game chat and game volume. The two side knobs control mic gain and headphone volume. Touching the top of the mic can mute and unmute.

The USB-C port is on the back of the mic towards the bottom. The white ring around the bottom is for the RGB lighting. On the bottom, you have a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a button to change the lighting, and a Noise-Canceling button. The left side has a knob to adjust the position of the microphone.

The first feature I tried was the Noise-Canceling. While it does make the audio sound slightly tinny, it does eliminate almost all background noise. I tested it within five feet of an AC unit, as well as by a fan, a nearby lawnmower, and my yelling child. The louder the noise, the more metallic the sound got. Still, even then, the audio recorded through the microphone sounded fuller compared to other similarly priced mics.

The headphone pass-through gave me no issues; no fuzz or buzzing to be heard. I did find that using the volume knob on the side of the AM6 made my audio louder than plugging my headphones directly into the laptop. Through the settings on your PC, you can activate the audio monitoring. Monitoring had little to no latency.

FIFINE is clearly trying to destroy other microphones in the budget category. I put the AM6 up against the AM8 using USB, and a RODE Procaster hooked up via XLR. The results shocked me. The AM6 has more features, and the sound was on par with the $200 Procaster microphone. The AM6 was easier to hook up and get going out of the box. The build quality isn’t on par with the Procaster — the latter has a heavy, fully-metal body — but that doesn’t mean the AM6 isn’t also well-built.

The microphone is by no means perfect. There are a few areas for improvement. I still think the adjustment knobs on the FIFINE mics need to be tighter. You can tighten it down pretty hard and still get a bit of movement when touched. It wasn’t a major detriment, but when tightened down, it shouldn’t loosen unless you loosen the knob. My other issue deals with setting up the audio monitoring. I think a knob or button to turn it on or off is a better alternative than going into the windows sound settings and enabling it. Just a small gripe, but that might be a dealbreaker for some.

Considering the ease of use and all the features packed in for $60, it’s hard to beat. There is no buzzing or hissing, which is something most USB mics struggle with. The top of the microphone’s touch-sensitive mute button works so well and is so easy to use, you no longer have to fear yelling for your mom to see if the meatloaf is done.

Whether recording talking, singing, or playing instruments, the FIFINE AmpliGame AM6 definitely punches above its price point.

I would be hard-pressed not to recommend this to gamers, streamers, or even podcasters. It is easily one of, if not the best, microphones at the $60 price point. With no extra equipment, this feels like a solid choice for newbies getting into gaming and content creation.

FIFINE can’t keep getting away with packing so much into budget products. I’m surprised the big premium brands haven’t sent ninjas or assassins to put a stop to this. FIFINE, watch your back!
