FIFINE T669 Studio Condenser USB Microphone for Recording Podcasting

So far so good. I've used it for one day on back to back meetings. My previous mic was not cutting it. Windows 11 had my volume too low. This mic fixed the issues. Totally compatible with Windows 11. Plug and play and you are rocking and rolling. Love that a plosive filter and wind screen are included. The cardioid sound pick up is a huge plus. Much less noise coming through from outside noise. My dogs used to drive me crazy when deliveries would arrive. Super disruptive. With this mic I had zero issues. Also set up was super easy. I saw some reviews complaining about longevity so I will post an update on that if there are any concerns there. Otherwise I am thrilled.

I have several microphones at home and am just getting started making tutorial videos. In my first video, the sound quality wasn't great, where I was using a cheap headset to record the sound. I have lapel mics but haven't tried them out yet and also have DJI wireless mic, but that seems more suited to being mobile. So, I thought I'd give this a shot for when I make Photoshop tutorials. So far I'm glad I did. I tested it out tonight and compared it to the MacBook Pro built-in microphone as well as the Mac Studio Display Microphone. This mic beat both of them hands down. What's in the box: Microphone, Shock Mount, Boom Arm and Desk Clamp, Pop Filter, Accessory Bag with extra parts, Foam Microphone Cover, USB cable (6 foot), User Manual. First impressions: Taking it out of the box it seemed like it was built OK, if you judge build based on weight. I don't expect it will see a lot of moving around, it'll just sit mostly in it's spot on my desk, so it should hold up fairly well. The microphone itself was pretty lightweight, not like other studio mics I've used in the past for music recording. The parts are light aluminum and have the feel of a desk lamp of similar style. The accessory bag has the ring you clamp the microphone on to the shock mount with, some extra shock bands, and an extra pad for the pop filter where it connects to the boom arm. Sound Quality: Very nice!!! I compared it to both the MacBook Pro Built-in microphone and the Mac Studio Display Microphone and it crushes both of them. Granted, the FiFine Mic is close to my mouth when I'm speaking, but you don't hear the fan noise from my MacBook and it's positioned right over the keyboard. If you watch the video, you'll hear the difference of the three. Obviously, I'm not comparing this microphone to another studio condenser microphone at this point because this is the first studio microphone I have purchased for the intended use of making videos. But I think that it has an overall warm sound, it's clear, and best of all, it is priced right. I've only used it for about 10 minutes at this point, but the difference is already worth the small investment. I'll update with additional information as I use it more. UPDATE: November 29, 2023 - I've been using it quite a lot and it's just super for the price point. I hear a huge difference in voice clarity compared to the previous mic I used. It does pick up background noise I noted (a truck drove past my house during a recording), but that's not the mic's fault. I wish the arm was a little more adjustable because I have it off to the side when I record and it almost doesn't reach where I want it. I'm sure I'll figure something out in regards to that after a while. Still love it.

Short answer: Yes, if you're looking for a good beginner mic, this is a solid option. Long answer: When you first get the mic, it is a very simple setup—really just plug and play. If you want to get fancy and work on tuning the mic for better audio quality using a third-party application, you can. However, for my uses and most others, it works just fine as soon as you plug it in. I did notice that the stand becomes loose over time and will need tightening occasionally. However, for the price, that is to be expected. The audio quality is good for the price range, though I did notice that sometimes it echoes a bit for the person listening. Pros: - Affordable - Plug and play - Comes with a stand - Decent audio quality Cons: - Cheap stand - Audio echoes for the person listening sometimes Overall, this microphone is a solid option for anyone needing an affordable microphone!

Just to start, I ordered the microphone and stand almost a year ago, and I was quite pleased with the product. The mic was great quality out of the box, and with some tweaking using 3rd party software, it sounded as good as I would’ve hoped it did. Best microphone I’ve had, and for the price, it was more than well worth it for me. It works well, it sounds clear, and was relatively easy to set up. If all you need to hear is that it works well and good, then you can stop reading. However, after about a year from constantly using the stand (and with some troublemaking kitties) I ended up losing some screws for the stand and it no longer held up well. I ended up contacting customer support asking for replacement screws, and while they weren’t able to provide me with the screws I needed since they did not have them in their warehouse, they instead opted to send me an entirely new stand (without the mic of course) instead. This took me by surprise, as I had ordered this almost a year ago, and was expecting to just be told nothing could be done. Sure enough, they sent in a new one, and now I’m back to using my microphone again just like the day I first got it. Overall, my experience with this product has been good and I have no idea why I didn’t write a review sooner. The customer service and support after the fact is great too, and I was more than satisfied with what I have experienced. If you’re still reading this, just stop and buy it already! You’ll have no regrets.

I was expecting it to be half terrible. But to my surprise, was better than expected. The arm is A little disappointing, while it still does get the job done. I would go for a third party boom arm.

Good for gaming, podcasts, video calls, and more. 100% worth it. You can definetly tell that it isn't a $100+ microphone

This isn’t a pro mic - and it’s not pretending to be. But for what it is? It’s fantastic. If you're getting into voice work, streaming, or content creation and don’t want the commitment or cost of an XLR setup, the Fifine T669 is a damn solid middle-ground. It sounds way better than any headset, webcam, or “gaming mic” and honestly, it's overkill for Discord but not quite pro studio ready. 🎙️ Audio Quality: Clean, warm, and surprisingly full. It won't replace a $400 XLR chain, but for Twitch, YouTube, voiceovers, and narration, it’s more than enough. I’ve owned it for a year and a half, and it’s still kicking at full quality. No degradation, no weird static, no USB flakiness - just reliable, solid performance. 🔌 USB Plug & Play: No drivers, no setup headache. It just works. OBS, Resolve, Audacity - all picked it up instantly with zero fuss. 🧢 Pop Filter + Shock Mount: Both are actually decent. The shock mount holds steady and isolates well. The pop filter handles plosives better than most bundled kits. It’s not pro gear, but it does its job well. 💀 Boom Arm? Trash. This is the weak link in the kit. It’s flimsy, wobbly, and barely holds up over time. What I did is hang the mic from my loft bed using the shock mount and some metal wire - and honestly, it works super well. Way more stable than the included arm and didn’t cost a cent. Bottom Line: This is the perfect “in-between” mic—a serious upgrade from cheap USB junk, but not an intimidating XLR rabbit hole. If you're starting out in content, voiceover, or streaming, it’ll serve you well. Just do yourself a favor and replace the arm if you’re gonna use it daily. Or get creative with your setup, metal wire and a loft bed work better than you'd think. :P (Red laptop is my old setup, when I used the boom arm- wire loft is the new one.

The volume control nob on the mic that you would use to turn the volume up and down has already failed after a few months of use.

I have never used a USB MIC before, but I feel I'm so lucky having found this as my first buy. Its excellent value for money especially when you look at all the items you get for the money you pay. I've been using this for more than a year now and everything including the boom arm are working nicely. I wanted to do an upgrade and bought an expensive XLR MIC but had to return it because this USB mic gives me better voice quality. For a beginner, this is the best choice, trust me you cannot go wrong with this. Great Value for Money !!

Un micrófono espectacular por la calidad del sonido que ofrece por un precio modesto. Permite trabajar con frecuencias altas y bajas, captando la voz de una manera nítida y óptima. El soporte que viene incluido funciona perfectamente aunque cabe destacar que a veces se siente algo debil, aún asi no he tenido ningun problema en los dos meses de uso. El kit completo que se ofrece es perfecto para iniciarse en el mundo del podcast o cualquier otro contenido que requiera de largos periodos hablando. Gracias al brazo operable se puede ajustar la distancia y altura del micrófono a voluntad lo que lo hace un compañero ideal para una videoconferencia, llamadas en discord o grabaciones semi-profesionales. Si junto a este micrófono trabajas con un equalizador digital puedes lograr resultados dignos de micrófonos profesionales, que tengan un coste muchisimo mas elevado, 3 o 4 veces más caro. En general es una compra muy recomendada y versatil. Si estas pensando en comprarte un micrófono para cualquier actividad, esta es la mejor opción.

Product came in a torn open box, and the sound quality was rather disappointing too. Instant refund.

I bought this mic on sale for about AU$70 and I am so impressed by the sound quality and the fact it also comes with a pretty nice stand. For this price range I would highly recommend. Easy to put together and works as soon as you plug it in. Only thing to note is there is no mute button, and no sound adjustment options apart from loudness on the mic. But for the price and what I am using it for that is not an issue. I am super happy. Highly recommend for this price bracket.

used for online chats and video editing - decent quality - my son is very happy with this item
