FIFINE USB Microphone, Metal Condenser Recording Microphone for MAC OS, Windows, Cardioid Laptop Mic for Recording Vocals, Voice Overs, Streaming, Meeting and YouTube Videos-K669B

Oh man where do I even begin with this microphone. I've had this microphone for about 5 years now. The quality is still absolutely amazing. I bought the separate fifine microphone arm and paired with this microphone, it has done me wonders. I can't stress it enough how much this microphone sounds, it still sounds amazing. It's also really easy to use it's just plug in play with any USB device and then boom you're connected. It also doesn't weight that much either which is a good thing. If you need a good, reliable, durable (I have dropped this thing a plethora of times), and good value microphone, I would recommend this one for sure. The black color is also very good, haven't had any paint come off

Holy cow this Mic is nice. I've played with microphones from 5$-1000$+ and to be honest there is no bigger diminishing returns than a microphone. There is also almost next to no price-quality correlation either. A 100$ mic can sound and act like a 2$ mic and a 30$ mic can act like a 200$ mic. If you don't believe me check out any of the tests where they blindfold people and compare. Majority of people fail to determine a difference. This thing is simply outstanding. More than you can ask for. The mic itself is STURDY. Metal stand, THICK polymer mic with a metal grille. Simple plug and play with a volume knob. That FUNCTIONS. A good majority of volume knobs dont really adjust that well. It's either full blast or nothing with most. This is perfect. I work in a noisy office and calling through this can turn down the background noise from those loud coworkers. This is great for someone just starting out with a mic or someone who is experienced with them. Simple plug and play no amps needed.

Pros: Extremely easy to set up. Gain control on the front works great. Sound quality rivals microphones twice its price. Easily outperforms the Blue Snowball in two ways. First, it sounds cleaner (no background noise is the gain is set properly) and two, it's a standard size microphone, so it will fit in more applications and 3rd party products, such as shock mounts. Negatives: I wish the 2 meter cable was longer. In my setup I had to use an extension. For most people it will work fine as is. Also, I wish the cable was detachable. There is a more expensive version of this that I didn't know about at the time that does have a removable cable (K670). If you are a gamer/streamer or content creator looking for a great starter microphone, you will not beat the quality you'll get from the K669. It really holds its own even against microphones such as the Blue Yeti and AT-2020+USB in terms of sound quality and background rejection. It is a standard stereo cardioid mic and the stand works well. You will need an adapter to mount on a standard scissor stand, but it will fit as is in a spider mount when you remove it from the included stand. The stand will work well for most people though.

This mic right here, this is a little gem. For the price, you get very good audio quality in a very small and convenient package. Sturdy build, clear audio, plug it in, and start recording I love it. It's my go-to for everything, even voice acting gigs! Heads up for any would-be buyers, though. This thing picks up sounds, a LOT of sounds and has no built-in noise reduction of its own. If you plan on recording or voice acting, this bad boy will do it, but you will need to learn a bit of audio treatment on your own.

Very well made for the money. Sound quality and sensitivity also on point. Recording quality is really good.

Exceptionally easy set up, works fantastic. Used it as a travel mic to do voice over auditions during the holidays.

I’m genuinely impressed with this FIFINE USB microphone. Setup was instant. Plugged it in and it worked right away on my computer with zero drivers or hassle. The sound quality is clean, clear, and way better than I expected at this price point. My voice comes through warm and crisp without any harsh noise or distortion. It picks up vocals very well while rejecting a lot of background noise, which makes it great for voiceovers, streaming, meetings, and recording content. The cardioid pattern actually does its job. Build quality is solid. The metal body feels durable, not cheap, and the volume knob on the mic is extremely convenient. The included stand is stable and adjustable enough for desk use, and the USB cable feels sturdy. For the price, this mic punches far above its weight. If you’re upgrading from a headset mic or laptop mic, this is a massive improvement. Highly recommend for beginners and even intermediate creators who want great sound without spending a fortune.

This is an excellent mic for the price, no doubt about that but it could be better! So I picked this up because I have a friend that uses one for his gaming/streaming needs and I wanted a secondary mic that wouldn't break the bank so I decided to check it out. My current primary mic is the AKG Lyra which is a lot more expensive yet sounds very similar (when only using front). Is this mic truly comparable to the Lyra or even a Blue Yeti, not really but it's close! Which enough was surprising given the price point. For example the Lyra's strength is capturing wide natural sounding audio which is why I like it. The 4 capsul array provides a lot of versatility and ultimately that's what you are paying for. The Blue Yeti on the other hand (which I've used) has a pretty unique sound signature that people (especially podcasters) love and will probably never stop using. It really emphasizes the lows in ones voice which can really produce a deep professional sounding "radio quality" voice. I do prefer a more natural sound which is why I like the Lyra but that is all about preference. This mic like the Lyra produces a fairly natural sound, I wouldn't say it's quite as detailed but the differences are subtle. Overall if I didn't want the 4 capsul array and just wanted 1 to do streams and podcasts I'd probably actually opt for the Fifine if it wasn't for 2 flaws I can't get over. First is the lack of a mute button. I actually don't like this on the Lyra either because the button feels flimsy and I don't like the feel of the click (it's plasticity and weak) but at least it has one. Second, is the simple fact that you can't disconnect the USB. This makes set up a nightmare. If you are setting up your mics on frames or a stand twisting the actual mic to speed up set up is a nightmare (and some frames you have to) because you have this cord you need to compensate for. This is not hard to do and shouldn't have added much to the overall cost of the mic when designing it (I imagine change) and I'd gladly pay an extra $5 for those 2 things. The Lyra & Yeti also allow monitoring but I would not expect that at this price point, so that's fine. Overall I still consider the Blue Yeti to be the streaming gold standard BUT if you are on a budget and what something that will capture your voice better than a cheap headset or onboard mic, this is it. I would also pair it with a good stand to get the distance between you and the mic to around a foot or a bit less, make sure gain is set accordingly (or volume as this says) and you're good. The tripod it comes with works but it's not ideal. If the had a disconnectable USB and mute button this would easily be 4 stars but if you can live without those things, like if this is going on one stand and you're binding a mute button to your keyboard, then this might be the absolute best deal for you.
