I bought this seeing a guy review this mic, and it was well worth it! The sound quality is really great with this mic. And I love the stand, though mine gets kinda loose because my desk didn’t have anywhere to clamp it the way it’s supposed to, so I had to do it 90 degrees (horizontally) and that’s causing the stand to go down with the weight sometimes, but not a big issue, I blame my desk for this than the stand. It would’ve been great if it had both extended stand and a usual desk stand to keep on desk. The noise filter is really good, and the usb c to usb c/b cable is really long, though I have it wrapped as my mic and my computer is relatively closely kept. Overall a great quality for the price, and really great with OBS.

Very happy with this microphone. Purchased after watching several reviews on YouTube and it lives up to the hype.
As always, another great mic from FiFine. Love the price and setup was easy. Sounds great - will use it for recording my podcasts.
Foi um dos melhores custos-benefícios que já tive! O Fifine K688 me surpreendeu muito pela qualidade do áudio: o som sai limpo, encorpado e com uma pegada bem profissional. Além disso, ele tem uma construção e um design bonito. Valeu muito a pena!
This mic combo is pretty decent for the price, the mic build quality feels premium and actually sounds good too. Mainly using discord and going from a Razer headset w/ build in mic to standalone mic and headset setup, it’s pretty night and day when it comes to quality, and no longer picks up sounds coming from the headset itself. Extremely easy to setup as there aren’t any drivers to download, it’s plug and play with a little adjustments in windows to get it setup to your liking. The mute button on the side of the mic is touch sensitive which is nice and makes it easy to quickly mute when needed.Before purchasing there are some things you might want to know (that I personally would’ve wanted to know prior to purchasing) :1. The side-tone (hearing your own voice in realtime from the mic) is available when you plug your headphones into the audio jack on the backside of the mic, however to adjust the sidetone volume, it also adjusts your pc audio. Meaning for me, I use noise cancelling headphones and like to have my sidetone pretty high as I feel sometimes I stumble my words when I can’t clearly hear what I’m saying with noise cancelling on, so when I crank the side tone volume up, my windows audio volume gets cranked up too and ends up blowing my ear drums. They are both directly tied to one another. Really wish these two things were separate, however they are not.2. This kit comes with a really crappy boom arm / stand. Pretty much anything that is using the arm with spring design will always squeak and have adjustment noise, and the clamp base where the boom inserts into the clamp base doesn’t have great tolerances so there’s a lot of play there.3. The included USB-C cable included is actually quite short for my setup and had to end up purchasing a longer cable.I’m personally giving this a 4/5 as the price to performance is actually really nice for someone just starting out.
Easy to set up, sounds great, and overall is well worth the money. Bonus points for how modular it is. Not only can I take the entire stand down in just seconds, but i can also move the mic in any direction I want at multiple locations on the stand. Bonus points for the external mute button on the side of the mic
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
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.
