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

1. Dual connectivity makes it easy to use on a computer or with pro gear – plug into USB-C for instant setup or use the XLR jack with a mixer or interface. 2. Sturdy metal body and built‑in shock mount feel solid and cut down on clicks or bumps being picked up. 3. Cardioid pick‑up keeps your voice front and center while blocking out most background noise. 4. Wide dynamic range handles loud speech up to 130 dB without sounding harsh or distorted. 5. Simple gain knob on the mic lets you boost your voice level instantly, though even at full gain you may need a software boost if you speak very quietly. 6. Headphone output and volume control offer real‑time listening with zero delay so you can hear exactly what’s being recorded. 7. Touch mute button on top is a handy way to cut sound fast, although it can feel a bit “soft” under your finger. 8. Frequency range focuses on clear vocal tones – you’ll get crisp mids and highs, but very low bass won’t come through strongly. 9. No phantom power needed for XLR mode – just plug and play whether you’re at home or in a studio. 10. Good value for podcasters, streamers, vloggers and anyone wanting a reliable mic on a budget, though its weight means you’ll want a solid stand or boom arm.

This comes with everything you need! It’s the perfect size! Great weight but not too heavy and not too light to feel cheap! It comes with a grey pop filter which works amazing for plosives but I wanted a black one for a cohesive color! The recording quality out of the box on my MaonoCaster E2 Gen2 is so good you would think it’s a Shure mic! When I used it with my Tonor Audio Interface and ran it in OBS I put different filters on it and it was so velvety and perfect for podcasting! I bought a Maono mic to see which is better but it hasn’t arrived yet! But this just sounds so amazing! And I need three more to finish my podcast setup so if it beats out the Maono I’ll definitely have to think about going with the FiFine! Because it has treated me so well! You would think the sound would make it cost hundreds but it’s a budget friendly mic! I’m honestly surprised by the quality. I didn’t care about the build as much I wanted it to sound amazing! It’s a 10/10 for me!

Sure, the SHURE microphone that you see EVERYWHERE might be slightly better than this. Might be. But this is probably 95% as good, and a fraction of the price. (Check the tons of reviews for this on the You Tubes.) Great quality, fit and finish, as good as any. Works perfectly on Windows, even without installing their software; I didn't install it, so can't comment on its usefulness. Connects easily with USB, and the sound quality is excellent, even via USB. IF I were doing a professional podcast, would I spring for the much higher cost of something like the Shure? Maybe, but likely only for the sake of appearance. Being the contrarian that I'm ... maybe not. This really is a quality mic.

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.

Great mic, looks nice. It also picks up audio where you expect, if you're interviewing people in the street and use this thing one way or another you only get their voice. Its compact, the cable length is generous even, the thing is made out of metal so it feels really sturdy and quite quality. But those are physical aspects, whenever actually focusing on the clarity of the thing its quite audible and clear and has a warm sound while keeping your voice yours.

Quality Construction and Sound is Amazing! The best value for money for sure! And using it with the BS1 Base is a perfect match for the functionality! I recommend 100%

I've owned a fair share of microphones throughout the years. The Rode PodMic, Samson Q2U, Blue Snowball - I could go on. I bought the FIFINE Dynamic Microphone recently however for podcasting and streaming, and it’s been a fantastic purchase. The audio is crisp and professional, significantly reducing background noise even with my fans running sometimes. The option to use both USB and XLR connections gives good flexibility and ease of use for my setups. My only minor complaint is the shock noise in handling is a little rough, but I don't move it too often. Overall, exceptional value for the price and highly recommended for anyone starting out or upgrading their recording setup.

This microphone is crisp and clear in sounding and utility wise also. In this price it is great and comparable to very high end mics.

Used it for a week and it started randomly buzzing

I was hesitant at first due to the high price but i dot think you can ever get voice quality and isolation more than this, and if you do, a human ear won't be able to detect it. Over all its good in everything but in one aspect that it doesn't come with its own stand. And i had to hold it with my hands like a bowl of noodles until i ordered a stand for it. I wish something to hold it or to sit it in was at least in the box

I was so happy to order fifine k688 which is great starter mic but during one and half month i tried so many good cables and devices to clear recordings but this is only recording noise no voice been clear recording.

If you are looking for a no nonsense microphone that can sound amazing out of the box this is your pick. Just plug it in and its ready to go, buttons are easy to see and the dials on the back help you monitor your voice or adjust volume, a solid pick for the office of gaming room
