FIFINE XLR Dynamic Microphone, Vocal Podcast Microphone with Cardioid Pattern, Studio Metal Mic for Streaming Voice-Over Dubbing Video Recording, Black-K669D

I meant to by the condenser version by the same company which has a similar model number. Anyway, can't say it was a happy accident but the quality of this mic means I'm definitely getting the condenser version from FIFINE. I've not used expensive mics or even a Shure 57/58. I have some cheap Audio Technica and unknown brand dynamics. They cost about $20-$40 I'm guessing about 30 years ago for comparison. This mic sounds better than those. It has the usual lower end boomyness of dynamic mics but it captures the higher frequencies well imo. I've only used it on vocals and I think it sounds fine. A $1000 mic isn't going to add much, if anything, to my voice. This is a perfectly good mic as far as I'm concerned. Keep in mind I'm a hobbyist with no experience with pro gear, whatever that means. The build seems to be of good quality. Metal enclosure and is pretty heavy for a mic. Includes a table top tripod which is cool. Good mic for the price.

Where do I start?? The K669D is and has been my utmost favorite budget dynamic mic since I purchased my first one. I have 3 now. Two black and one custom red (a gift from a fellow YouTuber and not available on the market). These mics have an amazing, crisp, broadcast sound. You can literally setup a multi person podcast with these and have everyone sounding great for less than 1 pro level microphone. They are all metal build mics that will withstand being tossed around if you need to be mobile. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

For the past 10 years or so, the microphone i've been using for gaming, discord, and some audio recording has been a "ModMIc". For those who don't know, Modmic makes a headset type microphone that you attach to your headphones using a magnet. It had decent enough sound quality for what i was doing, or so I thought, and recently i ran over the cable one too many times and it has since been retired to the local landfill. I did a lot of looking around for something similar that was of higher qualty and i didn't feel their higher end modmic was what i needed, so i decided to take the plunge and get myself a proper Dynamic microphone and Audio Interface, and after watching a ton of reviews on Youtube, decided on the FiFine K669D and for the audio interface, the CAD Connect 2 CX2 24/96 usb interface with phantom power. There aren't many decent interfaces under $100 with good build quality, excellent sound quality, and can do 24bit audio. This is one of the few, and it does it well. As for the microphone, I only have my old ModMic to compare it to, but the sound quality is like comparing one of those audio tape recorders from the 90's that are used to record lectures, to a CD audio recording. When i first got it set up and logged into discord, just about every person i play games with commented on how much better i sounded. One person wasn't even sure if it was me at first. The only downsides i can think of would be the stand is absolute trash. If you put that thing on your desk, it picks up every movement you make. I tossed it aside and ordered the FiFine Low Profile Microphone Boom. I chose that one because i have dual displays and didn't want the microphone coming over the top of them. This boom allows the mic to come under the displays and then angle up towards where i keep it. Yeah, it cost 50% more than the mic itself, but it's built solid and doesn't move around much. Overall, this mic has outstanding value for the money.

The FIFINE XLR Dynamic Microphone is a surprisingly solid performer, especially given its budget-friendly price. I recently acquired this microphone for my home recording setup, and it has exceeded my expectations in several ways. First and foremost, the build quality is commendable. The microphone feels sturdy in hand, and the XLR connector ensures a reliable and interference-free connection to my audio interface. It's evident that FIFINE put thought into making a durable product. The microphone's sound quality is quite impressive. It captures audio with clarity and minimal background noise, making it suitable for a variety of recording tasks. Vocals sound warm and well-defined, and it works equally well for instruments like acoustic guitars or percussion. While it might not compete with high-end studio microphones, it provides excellent value for the price. I appreciate the microphone's versatility. It includes an integrated shock mount, which reduces handling noise, and it's compatible with standard microphone stands and mounts. This flexibility is a real plus for different recording scenarios. While the FIFINE XLR Dynamic Microphone delivers on many fronts, it's not without its limitations. The microphone's sensitivity is lower than some more expensive options, which means it may require a bit more gain from your audio interface. Additionally, it could benefit from a slightly wider frequency response, but given the price point, it performs admirably for most applications. In summary, the FIFINE XLR Dynamic Microphone is a fantastic value for those seeking a reliable and affordable XLR microphone for recording vocals and instruments. It offers commendable build quality and sound performance, making it an excellent choice for beginners and budget-conscious audio enthusiasts. While it may not replace high-end studio microphones, it's a solid investment for anyone looking to upgrade their recording setup without breaking the bank.

This Mic is small and compact great for travel, but just as high-quality as bigger mics. I love the stand that it comes with aesthetically. It looks great on camera. But if you need it for content creation, Podcasts definitely a great travel option or even as a permanent fixture in a studio. And for the price, what can you say? Great quality but very affordable especially if you have to buy multiple.

Mic sounds amazing, price is awesome. Got it connected to a Maono Sound Controller G1.

I have to say that this mic sounds great. I've been using it for live singing performances and really like its build quality, directionality and frequency response. BUT, my mic stand was bumped over and the mic mount snapped off like a cheap piece of plastic. Oh wait... it IS a cheap piece of plastic! So now I have a great mic that can't be used because they cheaped out on the mount quality. Buyer beware.

For a moderately priced dynamic microphone, this product delievers! My collection includes dozen of mics, and I truly like this one. It's not a condenser, but as a dynamic this has a great sound, solid build, and good looks. Currently my mike of choice for daily use. As is typical with most dynamics, the output couldnuse a boost so gain doesn't have to be maxed out for soft passages. The Klark TekniK CT-1 fits the bill in my case. Good low end, sparkling high end. Amazing what can be had for under $35.
