FIFINEK688 Podcast Microphone Kit, USB/XLR Dynamic Microphone with Boom Arm for PC/XLR Mixer, Gaming Mic with Mute Button, Headphone Jack for Vocal, Voice-Over, Streaming, Music Recording -K688CTGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled StandardGlobal Recycled Standard

Quality mic and easy to set up and integrate into recordings. It has a nice sound quality without a lot of settings adjustment, on the deeper rich side so good for podcasting or streaming vs music. The mic feels pretty sturdy and the included boom is a nice addition for the cost. It’s not the most pro quality boom but it is metal and would work nice for a home setup for streamer, gamer or home podcasting.

First time microphone owner here! I have always abhorred the sound of my voice in recordings, to the extent that my hair would stand up listening to myself. My voice never sounded bad as I was speaking, but to me hearing it being recorded felt like I was listening to a hybrid alien/godzilla. This mic makes my voice sound like it does coming out of my head! I could not be more pleased. Even though I am not a singer, I tried singing and I didn't cringe listening to it! This is going to be my new best friend with my webinar recordings and hypnosis sessions! I love the sound, it's perfect - not too trebley and not too basey. It does not even need a pop filter. I am so glad I invested in this. The boom arm is sturdy and fits my desk and the microphone has a heavy, quality feel. After watching another gentleman's review I was convinced, and he seemed like a professional podcaster. So glad I invested in this. Sound quality:Not too much bass or treble, perfect and warm, Sounds like my voice should sound when I am speakingValue for money:It was a great price, affordable but not too cheap so you worry that it is poorly madeSensitivity:Just the right amountClarity:just perfect to pick up the detail and does not need a pop filterWhy did you pick this product vs others?:A podcaster reviewed it while actually using the mic. A lot of the demo videos do not show the mic being used!Works well:YOu can even use headphones and plug it might into the mic to hear yourself, and it plugs in to you computer witha USB plug though it takes USB and XLR Volume control:It's got volume for the mic and a gain knob too, which makes you sound richer

This is a great microphone. For the price it’s worth it. The arm for it is VERY sturdy and easy to set up. You don’t need to worry about it breaking or even giving out. On to the sound, it picks up amazingly and sounds crisp. The set up for it was also easy. The volume control is perfect to make sure you’re not too loud or quiet. Overall if you’re looking for a good microphone and don’t know where to start, I would definitely suggest this one. 10/10

The mic has great sound quality. I love how easy it was to set up and get started using it. It plugged in and worked with my pc, with no issues. The sensitivity control as a knob is nice! I love that it came in white, also. Only recommendations I have is maybe a software that users can download to change EQ settings with the mic! Other than that, I didn’t know that the mute was touch activated and NOT a button. I thought it was a button from the photos so I was a little let down but it’s actually working great and is sensitive enough that I don’t need to run my finger over it multiple times.

Great mic, Quality build, works like a champ and looks great. My son Absolutely loves it for his blogs and video narration on his youtube.

The media could not be loaded. I'm genuinely impressed with the FIFINE K688. It's a dynamic mic that supports both USB-C and XLR, making it ideal for beginners and experienced users alike. The sound quality is solid, especially in noisy environments, and setup is easy whether you're using a PC or audio interface. I recorded my entire review using the K688 via XLR.The kit (K688CT) includes the mic, metal boom arm, shock mount, adapter, and USB cables—though an XLR cable isn’t included. Build quality is decent; the mic feels durable, though the boom arm is on the lighter side. You won’t find premium-grade accessories here, but for around $70, it's a fantastic starter option.Tip: USB controls only work when not in XLR mode, and proper mic placement (2–6 inches) is key for clarity. You don’t need phantom power, and make sure to adjust your gain just right to avoid clipping.Perfect for streamers, podcasters, or anyone who wants a plug-and-play mic with room to upgrade later. Highly recommend if you're looking for quality without the hefty price tag.

It's a great mic for the price. by no means is it a Shure-sm7b, however, it sounds great and has good tones, the high end has some peakeyness to it as you can expect,t but the mids are great, as long as you turn down the volume on the mic just a tad, you'll sound great no matter your voice.This works great for playing games and talking to my friends on Discord, and it works great for streaming; it sounds better than most mics on Twitch and will do you just fine as you build you're following. I doubt anyone who's not an audiophile would mention anything other than it sounds great!The build quality is good; it's made from aluminum and has some heft to it. The pop filter feels soft and high quality. I'd recommend getting a different mic arm since the one it comes with is a little cheap but will get the job done just fine.

The FIFINE K688 was super easy to get going. Sounds clear, blocks out background noise, and looks great on my desk. Big upgrade from my old mic.
