XLR/USB Studio Recording Microphone (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.

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%

This mic sounds CRAZY good for how not expensive it is. Like, seriously good quality, a top tier addition to any gaming setup where you need comms and don't want to sound like trash RGB headset with the mic down your throat. I highly recommend pairing this mic with the BM88 Boom Arm. The cable it comes with is very long too so you can route it however you'd like and it works in either a C or A port on the PC side.

This is my 3rd of this mic from FiFine mainly because of how I want to keep the style in my podcast studio. Not because it's broke or anything else weird. But I love the style and the look of this mic and my podcast studio has been lacking a mic for over a year and I just jumped on this last one to finally get it set up right. Having a Tascam D40 that can do up to 4 inputs (tag to and get 8) but can very well take 3 inputs and with an XLR cable you get nice and clean audio. Glad the XLR does not allow the RGB to glow as Its not my favorite feature on these newer mics. But again great mic nice sound and really looks great on camera.
