* Xtar MC1 (I will add more notes here later, but there are many more Xtar chargers out there I recommend. Generally speaking I think they offer better values than the Nitecore brand)
 
* Nitecore i2 and i4 (d2 and d4 if you like to additionally have a display or LiFePO4 charging)

NiMH AA/AAA:
 
* Hobbyking's Turnigy (Eneloop alternatives, high-end, check which warehouse you buy from!)
 
* GP ReCyko (Ikea Ladda alternatives, low-end)
 
Lithium rechargeables:
 
* Buy LG/Sanyo/Panasonic. Not necessarily Chinese in origin, but Chinese resellers are often the cheapest way to get smaller quantities shipped.

There are clones of popular mics found on Amazon (BM-800, BM-700, BM-8000), which are usually (but not always) significantly cheaper and hence what you should be after if you're looking for acceptable value for money out of Chinese microphones.
 
{{note|The microphones mentioned in the parenthesis above all ship with a 3.5mm plug. If you're looking to do live recordings/chat or broadcasting keep in mind that there's going to be a considerable amount of noise (which can normally be removed through editing). A solution to that would be to use a phantom power, which kinda defeats the purpose of buying chink microphones as it's more expensive than those mics themselves.}}
 
 
 
A simpler solution would be to buy a USB microphone. This way microphones that are going to be used on a PC can draw sufficient power without the use of other tools so you wouldn't have to worry that much about noise caused by lack of power. Go for a MK-F100TL.

:Pros
 
:*Great build quality
 
:*High PPI screen, no gap between device and screen like most
 
:*9-10 hour battery
 
:*Doesn't get very hot
 
:*Speakers are clear and bassy, no distortion at high volumes
 
:Cons

:*No micro SD slot
 
:*Only one USB type C port with no video out support
 
:*Reported screen flickering at higher brightness and certain colours, as well as faint vertical lines at the bottom centre of the screen
 
:*Minor build quality issues; one anon reports creaking noises when cold at the bottom left of screen like it's not fully fitted
