Such a steal! If your looking for even cheaper I’d recommend T-669 over the neewer and TC-777 as it sounds less “tinnier” and has less room noise! If you don’t want the entire kit for the T669 it is sold separately as the K669 for $44 P.S. To mute the T669 you can turn the knob all the way down :)

[@ASMREUPHORICSTIMULATION]

I have an ASMR channel and in 2020 for Christmas, I bought myself the Fifine T699 and I am totally in love with it! the only thing I wish I considered was that this did not have the Left to right ear option it was full sound directed to both ears at the same time. and I know in ASMR the ear to ear is also very appealing. But other than that I love the mic and have already recorded a few videos this 2021 using it. Thanks for this video cause you saved me a ton of cash which helped me get reinspired to film again!

Finally someone who is describing their mic set-up for asmr...and not talking in asmr mode!

[@dancingshiva7008]

I'm no tech guy, but to my ears, the Fifine K-678 has the warmest, richest, juiciest sound. (Perfect for my voice.) It does pick up background noise, so that's a little tough. The Fifine T-669 probably has the next best sound. Not nearly as buttery as the K-678, but the most "balanced" out of the remaining mics. The Maono is definitely not on the same level, but it's still pretty good. I do hear background noise as well as a strange "resonance." I can't tell if that's feedback or something else. Not sure what to make of that. Surprisingly, though the Neewer NW-7000 has a very high, "tinny" sound and lacks pickup for low tones, I actually prefer it to the Tonor TC-777. Overall, the Neewer represents the voice more faithfully than the Tonor. The Tonor TC-777 makes the voice sound less human, as if one is speaking through a filter, similar to what happens when making sounds through tissue paper. It picks up low tones better than the Neewer, but it "distorts" or "transforms" the voice in a way that I don't think is pleasant. So... the winner, from the options in this group, would hands down be the hot, sultry Fifine K-678, with the nicely balanced T-699 coming in at a slightly distant second.

[@thom_baga]

Do you think it'll be good for asmr? i mean, the K678. is it the best mic among the mics in the video for asmr? I rlly need help from others

[@previncoin8592]

The "muff" is a windshield for outdoor use.

[@theBartSimpson]

K678 is currently priced about the same as newer T683 kit (upgraded T669). K678 prices dropped after launch of newer K690. T683 now comes with the same features as K678 such as Mute button, 3.5mm jack, etc. and the extra Boom Arm in the kit helps keeping the microphone at the apt distance. While Amazon reviews state that K678 without the Boom arm is hard to record with as it needs to be kept within 6" to 8" from mouth. Can you help me in deciding which one to get T683 or K678? Also, not sure about the bit depth 24bit/16bit. I am looking to record vocals and guitar with the microphone.

[@slickfn5594]

i actually have the tonor tc 777 I got it for christmas and my parents were so proud so i cant really talk trash nor is there anything wrong with the mic so definitely recommended for school and possibly gaming I use it for my yt though

[@thethreeleafs2270]

Hi, I’m a little late on this video 😅 I just have a question. Specifically in the moano or the cheaper fifine, can it work on a console such as PlayStation? Also, will it work on a computer? (Specifically chrome book) thanks man, I appreciate it. Great vid!

[@FIFINE]

K678 works on PS4/PS5. But the downside is that if you plug the headset into controller, PS4 input and output will change to controller automatically. Thus, You are supposed to split the microphone feature from headset with a 3.5mm Female to 2 Male adapter, or simply use the earbuds which has two loops on its connector, then you're good to go. As for the second question, the K678 will work on a chrome book.

[@islubio]

For just gaming(not streaming) and prices where i can get the following, which is more recommended? T669 - 63USD NW-7000 - 41USD PM422 - 81USD PM411 - 77USD

Hmmmm I do like the PM422 as it has mute, and easy mic adjustment, but it’s up to you

[@islubio]

@@shane410 gotten the pm422! Love the mute button

[@ravenisnotev1l485]

Stuck between the two Fifine microphones. Mainly because the K678 has the headphone jack and mute button (plus nice design), but the T669 has the boom bar and needed accessories which is what makes it tie with the other. At the time i made the comment the K is 65 USD and the T is 62 USD

[@FIFINE]

Hi there, sorry for catching sight of your comment late. It's not a difficult decision because it mainly depends on your application. If you're a gamer most of the time, then the accessories of the T669 will mean more to you than the features on K678. But if you want a mic to be a dedicated recording device, the K678 is a better choice for you. Not just because of the controls and monitoring feature, but also the better sound quality, the more rounded low ends and more natural highs.

[@VoladorMagic]

what application you used for recording this sound ? i watched plenty vidios of fifine t669 review and your video are the best, it has much more crispier and more clearer , please reply my comment, it means a lot for me thank you

You should try the Maono AU 902 Fairy (cardoid model) [ not the a902 fairy lite (cardoid lite) or not the a903 fairy (cardoid and omndirectional) ] This Model - www.maonoglobal.com/collections/podcast-microphones/products/usb-podcast-microphone-maono-au-902 You could go to the contact us section and ask for a review sample. They are very good for what they do. IMO, better than the FIFINE one, although all the fifine, uhuru and maono and tonor mics come from the same production line. The finished product is kinda different from each other though.

You also have to remember you all are going to be using compressors, limiters, noise gate and eq's. I have the neewer 7000 and its decent when you have filters on it.
