FIFINE - K669B

I use a simple Fifine and it isn't bad right out of the box and it is only $50.

I use a $50 Fifine and it sounds decent. You can check out the audio on my podcast. I didn't touch any settings with a mixer or anything. I need to work on my voice some and I bet my audio quality would sound so much better.

I use a Fifine for my podcast and it sounds decent right out of the box. I'm sure if I messed with the settings it would sound much better. I think it was $50.

My kids have two mics just standing there at the side of the monitor, so an arm's length away. Work fine. One is Fifine K669B. The other is better, but not sold worldwide, so no reason to recommend.

tenho o exato modelo da foto, comprei e usei por alguns meses com braço articulado, chegou num ponto que cansei um pouco, aí só fico no microfone do headset, não vendi ele pq uso pra alguns projetos e coisas específicas pq o áudio é ótimo, vai de cada um normalmente é ruim usar ele na mesa, especialmente pela distância que é recomendada falar dele

update i ended up buying fifine k669B

I just ended up buying the Fifine K669B. It will arrive tomorrow i'll see how it goes

Tenho o exato microfone do post e é um excelente aparelho. Migrei de um headset também da Fifine então não senti muita diferença quanto a qualidade do áudio (essa marca manda muito bem nos mics) porém continou sendo diferencial em construção, funcionalidades e portabilidade. Uso ele com o apoio padrão na mesa numa distância de uns 20cm de mim e sem o ganho no máximo ele cumpre muito bem a captação, isso que você ainda pode usar um braço articulado.

If you just want something that works without spending much, a simple setup could be two decent USB mics like the Samson Q2U or Fifine K669B (both under $50 each) plugged into a laptop, recording into free software like Audacity or GarageBand. If you can’t afford two mics right away, you could start with one and sit close together, but it’s much better to have one per person for clarity. You can even find second-hand mics that still sound good. For a quieter, cleaner sound, record in a small room with soft furnishings (like a bedroom with curtains and blankets) to reduce echo. You don’t need to overthink gear right now, just get a basic setup that’s clear enough to listen to, focus on great conversations, and upgrade as you go.

Made it to twitch partner and beyond with a $50 fifine, not a huge decision to make, there are other more important factors to consider as you grow.

The Fifine K669B is a solid choice under $50, great quality for the price!

There is no world where a Maono mic is the best mic under $120. The FiFine K688 is an absurd deal for under $80. As a podcast editor, it’s hands down the best usb/xlr mic I’ve heard under $100. I would also take the Samson Q2U and ATR2100x over Maono. I’ve not had good experiences with guests using Maono equipment. Similar to my experiences with people using FiFine’s Yeti knockoffs. I’d also question recommending condenser mics to beginner podcasters like the FiFine K669 and Rode NT-USB. Condensers cause so much more work for any podcaster recording in typical podcaster environments. I’m curious why there’s so much focus on sample rate and commentary that would lead someone new to podcasting to think that higher sample rate = better mic.

Yeah sure. You want to look for some USB ones since the XLR ones would require interface which adds more costs. Something like Audio Technica AT2020 USB ver. would be pretty good, but it may be above your budget. I personally just use a random Fifine set and it works pretty good. They are pretty affordable and sound great for how much they cost. Most of the time.
