FIFINE - AmpliTank K688

I believe I have the exact same one. It works great

Another thumbs up for Fifine. I went with the K688 and haven’t looked back. Great sounding audio, no issues.

Nope! Working great and still very happy with my purchase. I get compliments on my mic quality all the time

Can vouch for the fifine, I have T688 so it came with arm but the mic is the same. Good mic for the price

Gonna recommend the Fifine K688 It's a budget Dynamic Mic and, at least to me, is better value compared to other mics suggested here. A bit of an older short, and pricing is in Philippine Peso, but here's a link that compares the sound quality of the Shure MV7 and Fifine K688: https://youtube.com/shorts/y4VYoJzOMCc

Its a really good Budget mic i also use it with some eq software

The only thing I don't like of the firing K688 is the body sensitivity. If you touch the mic, the shock mount, the arm, the cables at all you will hear it. They sound great for the voice pick up but their body resonance is terrible. If you don't touch your mic or wires they're great.

Have a look at FiFine AM8 or FiFine K688. On sale they are usually available around $50 USD, sometimes even cheaper. They are plug and play USB dynamic microphones that's pretty good out of the box. Tweak them with a compressor and EQ and they are even better. New price on them are around $70 USD. Both also have a XLR connection if you want to use a different sound interface, but it is not necessary. Personally I use a FiFine K688 and are really happy with it. For the price it's not much better than it or the AM8. You will need a stand or boom. I reccomend a boom arm. Since it is a dynamic mic, your mouth need to be close to it for the best result.

I would get a new mic, the Blue Yeti is a condenser microphone known for being very sensitive, and will pick up most sounds. You need to treat your room very well to get it to sound decent. You should get a dynamic microphone, they are not so sensitive, meaning you will have to keep it close to your mouth. And what to reccomend is hard without knowing your budget. But if you want an USB mic, there are some good alternatives. Remember that no microphone will be a magic device out of the box, they still need to be tuned. Use a compressor and noise gate to get the most out of them. Fifine K688 and AM8 are good budget microphones. On sale they are around $50 USD. They are plug and play trough USB, no software, so they need 3rd party software to be adjusted. Personally I use a K688 and use Elgato Wavelink as software. Elgato Wavelink 3 will be free and are currently in open Beta if you want to try it. Røde PodMic USB is a good choice from a professional microphone company and is around $200 USD. And comes with Rødes own software. And as a third option, and the most expensive one, the Shure MV7+. It comes from Shure who are one of the most known microphone companies out there. Have tons of features and an easy setup with Shures own software. The price is around $300 USD. A thing they all share is a XLR output if you in the future want to get a separate interface, but they all work really well on USB too.

I'm not an expert by any means but I was looking for a microphone to use @pc in my untreated living room. My gf is usually watching TV at the same time. I googled like crazy but couldn't find a satisfying answer and just went hail mary and bought a fifine k688 for cheap during black week. My friends can't hear the tv nor my keyboard through discord. Just my voice after some fiddling with the gain.

Yes. I bought the fifine k688 with a decent boomarm. Works great!

I would probably advise you to go with the Samson Q2U. I have 3 mics: Rode NT-1 5th Generation, Fifine K688, and the Samson. I believe the Samson is the best sounding for my setup, or let's say the easiest to deal with in terms of noise and clarity - I record in a room with some basic sound treatment.

I just started using the fifine k688, and it was a HUGE step up from the Blue Yeti I had been using previously, despite the fact that the Yeti was more expensive. Dynamic is the way to go over condenser mics. Warning, though, that mic requires a stand. It doesn’t come with one. Fortunately I already had an arm to mount it to.
