Fifine budget USB microphone K668 Review

Because people never sub to people. Which is why a lot of youtubers never blow up.

I'm a music producer and I think the audio quality is pretty damn good for ~$22, like how did they fine-tune them??? O_O Btw do they extend taller?

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

I was also very impressed. It's pretty cool that you are a music producer. That makes your opinion a lot more relavent than mine. :) You can only angle it up, but unfortunately you can extend it taller.

what about you try make "music" or sing with this mic??

[@beenibroh]

PROS the quality of this mic is soooo good packaging is so professional the durability is alright and its easy to hook up its $20 CONS it picks up wayyy too much sound and its annoying when your in like, per-say a discord call the screw that bends the mic get very loose, so you have to tighten it a lot if the cord breaks its irreplaceable 7/10 its great but also has its flaws

[@SamuelForLife]

He was talking to the mic the whole time and I didn’t know. I thought he was using his regular mic. Holy it sounds so good!!

[@kylelan3886]

Thanks for the nice review! The diameter of the thread on K668 mic is 5/8'' while the thread of microphone arm stand that can be screwed into the mic is 3/8''. So a 3/8'' Female to 5/8'' Male Adapter will make the mic mount on your boom arm.

[@oswaldoreyes5337]

I just ordered this microphone. The FIFINE K668 was recommended to me for computer work that I have to do with a microphone. I hope that it'll perform as expected .

[@FIFINE]

It will not let you down!

[@erin1395]

FIFINE MICROPHONE which one do u suggest for a beginner k668 or k669b?

[@FIFINE]

​@@erin1395 It would depend on your use situation. If you're in a rather quiet room, and most importantly, your main use is gaming, then K668 could also do the job well. But when you plan to do more application with the mic, especially recording, the K669B is more suited. Last but not least, if you're very concerned about keyboard or mouse striking noise and you're going to use it in a pretty loud environment, it's better to use the setup of a dynamic mic plus an audio interface, such as our K6 handheld mic with Behringer UM2 (costs around $50-$60).

[@yashpashar4758]

Damn! That sounds amazing for the price ... I might actually buy myself one . It definitely sounds better than the gsp 300 s microphone by a mile

[@boyanpenev9822]

I am interested in this microphone or its smaller brother the 669, but I'm a bit worried that it will pick up too much noise as I have my speakers at the back of my PC table. Can it filter the noise from the back?

[@DawidDoesTechStuff]

It does a little bit, but not nearly enough to deal with speakers on your desk pointing at it. Honestly not much would be able to properly reject that.

[@boyanpenev9822]

@@DawidDoesTechStuff Thanks, I may have to look around for solutions how to arrange the desk then. Overall, this looks like a very good microphone for its price.

[@FIFINE]

Yes, as Dawid mentioned, you can't expect the cardiod pattern of a condenser mic to do a pretty good job on rejecting background noise that was close, especially both the K668 and K669 is quite sensitive (even though the later one is more manageable on the level side). If there's no space to make a more sutiable placement of the speaker, you may want to consider a dyanmic microphone setup instead. But the total cost may go up to over $50.

[@bry2344]

I have had the k668 for about 2 yrs now and im lookin to upgrade to a new and better usb mic thats $100 and under....any suggestions😀

[@kylelan3886]

Fifine do have a better recording microphone K670, comes with a live-monitoring headphone jack. Also, the large diaphragm(16mm) would capture fuller and round sound but still gives the clarity.

[@flamenation1784]

how did the k668 perform for those 2 years?

@@flamenation1784 Its good for its price. I love it. And it performed well.

[@nextgenownage]

Good review bro really well done. I bought 3 of these mics 3 years ago. It was the best £24 (£8 per mic) I´ve ever spent. I´ use them for interviews on my channel. I´m Just currently looking for a Camcorder with an external microphone slot for £100 - £250. Are there any you recommend? I know smart phone´s tend to have better cameras around that price tag. But sadly people get alittle shallow and snobbish unless they see a camcorder or expensive looking camera.

[@BlackgurlSimmer]

What system were you using to record your voice audio? Thanks for your video!!!

[@FIFINE]

The K668 is compatible for Windows and Mac and no software to install.(Not compatible with Xbox and Phones)

[@driverxy.4242]

Hey can you by chance make a video on the setting on your microphone?

[@FIFINE]

The below suggestions are for your reference. Please set computer input at around 80%. Then the speaking range is another aspect that makes the great difference. Keep the mic 3-5 inches away from mouth, the closer the better. But overall the best method to have great sound quality is to setup the use environment (if the mic is not defective). And the treated room can be done with ease, and here's our blog for your reference: fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-an-acoustic-treatment-on-a-budget

[@a_lonely_potato351]

Dang, i may have to pick this up for my next mic. My current one is super quiet and has an annoying hum

[@kalebanderson6564]

So is this just like the k669b but without the nob? Because the k669b is $45 now which sucks because I want to get a stand but I don’t want to spend more than $50 total

[@FIFINE]

Yes. Sorry that the K668 doesn't have the volume knob. As for the product's price, we beg you or anyone who are dissatisfied with the current pricing pardon. Maybe you can wait until the price kind of dies down.

Hey guys, I got this microphone, and it’s like super echoey and just sounds nothing near like in the video. Any tips on how I could make it better or like in the video?

[@FIFINE]

Could you please uncheck "Listen to this device" to check whether the problem still exist? If it still exist, then it should be the problem of your voice bouncing around the room and being picked up by the mic. If budget allows, you can purchase the arm stand to help fix it up. Cuz the closer distance wil help reduce echo. But overall, the best method to have great sound quality is to setup the use environment ( if the mic is not defective ).

If you can get around to it, put some background music into yoir videos. That shouod make them a bit more better and not just your voice. Not trying to be rude at all, just want to help out

[@laggy2951]

Is this similar to the fifine k667?

[@FIFINE]

The appearance is the same but with different connectors. K667 uses a 3.5mm plug, which means the signal it transmits is analog one and the sound quality some sort will depend on computer built-in sound card. While in K668, the analog to digital conversion is completed before the signal is sent to computer, therefore it's more likely to have louder and clearer sound if they were used on the same computer.

[@choco-kun7221]

Lool ur tests r hilarious.

[@jewskies]

is this mic good for gaming ?

[@FIFINE]

Of course. Just choose the K668 microphone as default input and your earphone as default output under the sound setting. Then you are able to hear the game sound, but if you are going to monitor your voice, you are supposed to get a mic with a zero-latency headphone jack, such as K683A, K690, K678 or K670.

[@ezj5803]
