Fifine K688 Dynamic USB/XLR Mic Review and Testing

[@TheRaisai]

Sounds better with XLR than using the USB-C. Great review!

[@jenuds]

Agreed!

Just got my Fifine K688 2 days ago. So far so good! 😄

[@jenuds]

Awesome!

@@jenuds Been using it plug and play with the K1 sound card but i'm not that contented with the output volume since the mic volume knob is already on full but the mic sound isn't loud enough for me so I decided to connect the mic through a mixer for extra gain then connected the micer to the sound card. Do you think it's a good idea? 😄 I just need a little more gain to get what I want and I think the mixer would help

Great sounding mic! Nice presentation as well

[@jenuds]

Thank you 🙏

[@DJb-ill219]

Great Review and a solid budget mic 🎤 your voice sounded nice in the beginning also 👍

[@jenuds]

Thank you

hey, thanks for this review, im planning to upgrade my microphone, i was searching for a usb/xlr microphone so that i can gradually shift to xlr, my budget is really tight, how is this microphone so far?

[@jenuds]

In my opinion, yes this is a good choice.

I have been using the K688 since it was released in 2022 and loving it. The microphone sounds good with filters of course. I also replaced the foam with a SM7B version. Maybe I should try flipping the mic around like you did. XLR sounds so much better and louder.

[@jenuds]

I agree. It sounds pretty good.

They upgraded the fifine 688 in 2023. It now has a more recessed capsule, better windscreen. And dialed in the tone better.

[@jenuds]

@@goatunherd2357 Thanks for the info

[@selw0nk]

@@goatunherd2357 Now I will have to get the upgraded version.

[@jenuds]

Perhaps check out the new one tank 3. It’s solid build. I’ll find out when I get it later.

Jambo! (hi) I like the way you compare the 2 mics and your voice is soothing to listen to. And you're neutral, which is good psychology. Aksanti (thx)

[@jenuds]

Glad you like them 🙏

[@jimbob-bp3dx]

i baght on last week i love it

[@jenuds]

Awesome

[@aCrazyPOTATO]

Are you using with USB or XLR? I thought of buying this mic but i dont have audio interface, Also few videos on youtube shows defects on USB connection. Can you help me out?

[@Wanch_0]

Hello, is this good match for K1 pro?

[@jenuds]

Yes.

[@Savoirinfini509]

Thanks
