USB Studio Microphone Kit (T669)

Great mic. I use it for work as sound quality is good. A bit fiddly to put together

I’ve been using the FIFINE USB Microphone Kit, and it works really well! The sound quality is clear, setup is easy, and it’s perfect for recording, streaming, or calls. For the price, it’s an excellent deal—definitely worth it! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable mic.

I've previously reviewed and used the FiFine K678 mic so had high hopes for the T669. I'm primarily involved with music production, but also use mics for my YouTube Channel and Live Streaming. The mic itself is very well built and the build quality actually puts some more reputable brands to shame when compared. The thing that always impresses me is the detail on these mics to have the basketweave/shield material always spot on in line, something other, bigger mic manufacturers at the lower end of the market seem to find unimportant. One thing to note is that the mic itself feels very light compared to most - It's a great feat to both have a well build product but light weight. The accessories with the mic all feel good, but I was most impressed with the boom arm which beats all other boom arms I've bought for this purées on Amazon, and the pop filter, which puts a lot of the pop-filter products I've come across to shame. Really good! When it comes to the sound quality of this mic, there's a real focus on the mid-range. This is both good and bad, depending on your use case. For music production, this unfortunately makes the mic pretty limited in use. Its' not going to give the sparkle you might want for a pro sounding vocal, or a guitar, nor is it going to give the bass response you might want for a bass cab or lower tuned instrument. For music, I would point you to the K678 to do a more solid (though not exceptional) job. However, focusing on this mic as a streaming mic for gaming, live streams and zooms, I think this mic does a great job with an exceptional value. The sound is going to be a big upgrade over the mics on most headsets and certainly beat the mics build into laptops by a long way! I was particularly impressed by how much room sound the cardioid pattern of the capsule rejected, meaning the focus is on my voice and not the echoes in the room. The mic will probably find continued use for my YouTube live streams simply due to its unobtrusive size (it really is tiny!), the convenience of having it mounted to the desk and the simplicity of getting it to work - It's just plug and play! Overall, it's not the best sounding mic in the world, but it's probably the best value in terms of the whole package and probably just what most people are looking for to enhance their desk setup for most online mic needs.

Well built, good quality and easy to set up.

Comprehensive kit, not too expensive and adequate for quality recording or podcasts

I wanted to test out this microphone as a content creator and streamer as I’m always on the lookout for the best value for money microphones. I think I may have just found it. Straight out of the box the build quality of the microphone and kit are fantastic, none of it feels like it’s been cheaply built, and it comes with everything you need to get started which immediately puts it ahead of other mics that come standalone. Setup was super easy and once it was all plugged in I was impressed with the sound quality of the mic for saying the entire thing cost so little. The audio quality was excellent and was of the standard I’d expect from much more premium microphones. As a USB mic I would say this is one of the better that I had tried and value for money wise quite possibly the best. Would recommend to any streamer, video creator, podcaster etc.

*Disclaimer* - this is meant to be accompanied with a Video Review, however due to Covid-19. Amazon have temporarily removed the ability to attach video to Amazon Reviews. The quality of this mic is Crazy - but don't take my word for it - check my unboxing and review video and the difference between this mic and my built in stock laptop mic. The difference in quality is literally night and day! It looks complicated but it is very easy to set up and has brilliant Background Noise Cancellation. It's perfect for streaming, Youtubing and doing the odd podcast. The Microphone has a touch sensitive mute button with a blue/red LED built in to let you know whether it is on or off. There is also a Manual Microphone Gain so that you can change your levels on the fly. The Recording Quality goes up to 24bit 192Khz which is immensely clear! Stay tuned for a Video review - alternatively, you can find my Youtube on my Amazon Reviewer Profile and search my Youtube channel for the video review of this product.

The microphone is a great quality for the price, it puts together super easy with a convientently placed volume knob, the mic stand is properly solid, swivels nicely and it supports itself great, and holds everything where it should be quite wonderfully. The cable is a good length so it can be easily put out the way, with a nifty little band to attach it to the arm to keep the cable management folks happy. I have one complaint with production - the pop filter arm socket on the clip seems to be very delicate, when I was putting it together it wouldn't hold itself up, when I inspected it a bit closer the little 'dimples' that hold the arm in don't seem to be 'in' enough, so the whole thing spins and just comes out, so that was mildly disappointing. It doesn't change the fact that the mic is really good quality for the price you are paying and is worth it, but its the principle of the thing.
