"Best Budget Headsets: Rode NTH100m vs Fifine H9 Ive always thought that headset mics could only sound awful because that's just been my experience but the Rode mic for the NTH-100 headphones changed my mind. I think it sounds awesome But it also comes at a pretty high price. So I wanted to see if there was something more affordable out there that could still sound great and I found the Fifine H9 headset which Ive been super impressed with. I definitely recommend it if youre looking for a decent mic/headphone setup without spending a ton of money. Rode NTH100m Headset: https://geni.us/Y3DudtF"
