FIFINE Dynamic Microphone, XLR/USB Podcast Recording PC Microphone for Vocal Voice-Over Streaming, Studio Metal Mic with Mute, Headphone Jack, Monitoring Volume Control, Windscreen-Amplitank K688

I’m going to be honest with you, I wasn’t expecting much at first. I had a budget of less than $100 and I was looking for the best bang I could get with my buck. And this was literally the best choice I could have made.The sound of this mic compared to my old blue snowball was absolutely amazing. I loved the fact that it sounds so clear and hardly and issues with feedback from tapping my desk or anything.It’s also really easy to install. All you need to do is plug it in after setting it to an arm, and you’re basically set. There is also a button on it that’s TOUCH SENSITIVE, not press, and it’s actually really neat.I am not sure on the durability of this microphone, being that I just got it a few days ago, but I can say that recording and the usage of the mic is super neat. It also has a headphone jack if you want to use it as a speaker as well!In all, I believe that if you are trying to save money like I had been, and get the best mic you can get, this is literally the best option for that. It doesn’t get in the way and huge on my desk, and looks really clean as well with my set up. So if that’s your thing, this is the best mic for you.

The microphone Sounds very good for the price. You dont really need software to set it up but you can download their software to adjust some settings for the mic. The button on the top for muting and unmuting is not clickable its touch to click it. For this mic you have to speak into it from the front for it to sound good and clear not the sides. And you do have to be close to it 2-6 inchs I think. Its not a heavy mic but the boomarm bundle I got it with that boomarm isn't really good to be honest so I recommend getting a third party boomarm. and the 2 gain knobs in the back feel neutrel I neither like the positioning or dislike. Supports an xlr cable to connect to an audio interface so if u play an instrument or just want to use it with a audio interface you can do that. Works and records fine.

Was looking forward to the K688 and it did not disappoint! I used the A6T for a couple of years now but I wanted a more clean and professional look. Bought an aokeo boom arm with this mic and all is well. Perfect for streaming, content creation in general, and a daily gaming mic. Size is compact and it comes with a shock mount. No rgb like previous mics, the only light the k688 has is the mute button. Fifine really designed a very nice mic built for both xlr and usb.

I bought this to replace a JLabs mic that decided to fail (Windows not seeing it). Then I got it to be seen by Windows, but then the volume control would not adjust for microphone use.So replaced it with this as I can use it in USB mode, or via XLR. Running it via USB at the moment, but will go XLR with a digital interface soon enough.So far, it seems to work great, my voice sounds good, but will be interesting to see how it fairs once I run it with Fairlight in Davinci Resolve for editing.Came with the USB (C to A) cable, and screw mount to mount to your mic arm and that's it. It does have shock mounts and I have it on a Neewer mic arm with screen that came with it on the front to reduce sibilace.Only have had it about a week or 2 now but so far it works a treat with USB. BTW, running it via XLR will bypass the onboard amplifier/Dac/ADC so best to run it through a digital interface to the computer via USB.

For the price of this thing you can’t go wrong! Have had it for a while now and it’s comparable to my more expensive mics. So good quality for what it is, the clarity is great. Functions as you’d expect a mic that’s $200+ to do… but it’s a fraction of that. Overall great mic for what it is!

I have been using this mic for the past week during my live streams and it sounds amazing and my viewers noticed a huge difference in my voice. I am just using usb portion of the mic but if you live stream with obs studios put on a few filters and use boost bass and your sounding professional.

This microphone has been such a great find! I just started my podcast and began recording videos, and the sound quality is honestly amazing clear, crisp, and professional-sounding. It’s also super easy to set up and use, which makes the whole recording process smooth and stress-free. For the price, it completely exceeded my expectations. My partner uses it for gaming and says it sounds way better than his last mic, even though this one wasn’t much more expensive. The functionality and performance make it perfect for both beginners and more experienced users!

This microphone elevated my streaming and gaming experience tenfold! I have a very thocky keyboard and you can barely hear it? Mouse clicks? No more! It is excellent at silencing background noise for its price range and the audio quality rivals that of big name microphones. Highly recommend it for the price. This along with the BM88 low profile boom arm makes for the most aesthetic, cozy vibe.
