Fifine AM8 XLR/USB Microphone — Your first gaming/podcasting/content creation upgrade?

Are you tired of sounding just like everyone else? Whether you’re crushing it in-game, streaming to your fans, or launching a podcast, your voice deserves to be heard the way it was meant to be, bold, clear, and professional.

Enter the Fifine AM8, a microphone that lets you choose between USB convenience and XLR power. I’ve been putting this hybrid mic to the test, from casual streaming to pro-level setups with a mixer.

Unboxing and first impressions

Right out of the box, the AM8 feels like a premium mic. Here we have the AM8 microphone itself, you also get a 6.5ft USB-C to USB cable and the base stand for the mic.

As with all other Fifine microphones the build quality is impressive, and as this microphone sits in the budget price range, makes this even better.

It’s sturdy, sleek, and comes in this clean white version that I’m using, that actually goes really well with my desk setup, though it’s also available in black and pink, giving you some colour choices to fit your setup.
