FIFINE USB Microphone, Plug &Play Home Studio USB Condenser Microphone for Skype, Recordings for YouTube, Google Voice Search, Games(Windows/Mac)-K668

I bought this USB microphone after I read about it in ComputerActive magazine. I am a physician and post-doctoral researcher in medical informatics working on developing innovative applications for patient education. The article in ComputerActive magazine was about creating podcasts and this microphone was recommended as a considerable improvement on the cheap microhone built into the laptop / desktop. I do have a high-end microphone with an XLR connection but that needs a dedicated amplifier to provide an audio feed into a PC's sound card. This USB microphone has a PnP driver so it's ready for use as soon as you plug it in. I used it with the freeware audio editor, Audacity. Speech recordings are very clear, of high quality and free from background noise so I can't wait to use it for my podcasts. The microphone comes with foam windshield and I found the audio iinput level easy to set on Audacity. The PC I used was running the tried and tested Windows XP which I still use a lot. You certainly can't go wrong buying this microphone. I am evening considering using it for wildlife sound recording with it connected to a netbook and with the mike mounted in a home-made parabolic reflector!

I’ve just started to make a few digital audio recordings for various projects at work, including some guided meditations, and a bit of singing for pleasure. As I’ve only just started to do this, I didn’t want to spend loads of money on a mic that I might not use all that often. I’m suitably impressed, as it hooks up to my MacBook 2017 ed and Logic Pro software without any trouble. However I have to use a USB to USB-C adaptor for my MacBook, but that’s no real issue. The mic records clearly and crisply. It’s quite sensitive and does pick up background noise easily, but I’m very much an amateur, so that might be due to lack of experience on my part. The mic and stand feel like they are both very robust. I’d highly recommend this product.

The quality is very much good enough for Youtube voice recording. It is a substantial improvement on the built in mic. on both the C922 and the Brio camera. It is a mono mic. The foam wind muffler acts as a pop filter too. I highly recommend getting a mic arm - I use one of the articulated ones. This will cut down the noise from the desk. Try holding it the air when recording - there is a marked difference in the unwanted sound. Downside is that the body is two narrow to slip into a sprung mike support to deaden sound from the desktop. Having said that I get little noise from that. The mic. is sensitive and delivers plenty of sound to the recording. I listen on a fairly high end domestic Senheisser headset. This mic. sounds better than the built in Senhaiser mic.

A very fine microphone. I use it on windows 10 voice recognition. It performs very well in this role. It installed automatically and was recognised by the Speech setup process. Cortana understands everything I say clearly. The quality of recorded sound is also very good. It is sensitive enough to use as a desktop Mic at a comfortable distance. The build quality looks very good and the stand, which is criticised in some reviews, does not seem anything other than well made and sturdy, maybe the design has been improved.

Simple to setup and use providing better voice clarity than built-in laptop mics. Recording musical instruments (like my electric guitar) is not that good. It is only marginally better than recording a musical instrument in your mobile phone or using your laptop mic which sounds awful! Mid October: A few months have passed and I am re-writing my review. After acquiring a second fairly expensive large diaphragm condenser microphone and an audio interface to record my electric guitar, I can honestly say that this microphone, of course not as good as the one which was more than 10x its price, does a fairly good job at recording acoustic guitar, as long as it is close to the instrument. So I am changing my review to 5 stars because I now believe that for its price and ease of usability is an excellent buy and I would highly recommend it!

Summary: - EDIT: not as resilient as I first thought - Surprisingly high quality build - Good sound quality for the price - Extremely easy to install - Comes with a wind filter EDIT: A month or two after purchasing this, the microphone has started outputting a loud, constant buzz which gets louder when I touch it. This seems to be a fault with the microphone and not my pc, since the replacement mic works fine. I suspect that a fault has developed with the wire. It's suffered occasional small falls to the floor, but nothing that I would expect would break it. I'm going to leave my original review as it was, since I'm aware that this could purely be bad luck and it really was a decent microphone before this happened. I am however dropping two stars from it, and will suggest that the microphone is not as resilient as I first thought. I can't really fault this microphone, the price seems pretty fair for what you get. Build Quality: I was surprised by how professional this mic looks when it arrived. The body has some weight to it, making it feel sturdy, and the legs give a little resistance when adjusted, so they keep the microphone in place fairly well, especially on a flat surface. I've seen some reviews complaining about the legs but I don't see the issue, they've worked fine for me and I've been putting the microphone on the arm of my chair! The mic also comes with a wind filter cover, for any of you who might be planning on using it outside. Sound Quality: I tested this by placing it on a desk in front of me and speaking in a soft voice, below the volume I would normally hold a conversation. It picked up my voice quite clearly, and I couldn't hear any trace of static/noise. I use the mic mainly for watching netflix with my girlfriend over skype and she hasn't complained about being able to hear the show from my end, so it seems to do a good job of filtering out background noise. She's also been able to hear me from around 5-6 feet away if I raise my voice a little, although she said it was obvious that I'd moved away from the mic. To give some idea of quality, I could imagine an amateur YouTuber using this with no problems whatsoever. I doubt you'll find PewdiePie recording with one any time soon though! Installation: It really is plug and play. I've used the mic on both Windows and Linux and in both cases I had to do nothing more than plug it in. If you've found this review helpful then let me know with a thumbs up! Likewise, if you found it lacking then please go ahead and click the thumbs down.

As like a lot of people at this moment, all of my meetings are taking place via *insert respective video platform here* but I quickly realised that the in-built microphone on my work issued Lenovo laptop is terrible. Seriously, it sounds as though I am underwater! After some research, I believe purchasing a USB microphone was the best option and this one seemed to tick all the right boxes. Overall, I'm very happy. The microphone seems well built and was simply plug-and-play. The colour of the microphone I received differs slightly from the one pictured but I personally didn't have an issue with this. And, what about the sound quality? Friends, families and colleagues have all commented on the vast improvement in what I sound like during video calls and meetings.

This is my first stand-alone microphone, having gone for the headset with built in microphone before. I purchased it specifically for recording podcasts. I find it much easier to use, and the quality of the sound recorded is excellent. I am using it with the free programme Audacity, and it does a great job. The mic is about 1 ft (c.31cm) away from me usually, but works just as well 2 ft (c.62cm) away. I am in a quiet environment with no ambient or extraneous noise, but when I was playing around with it with the television on, quietly in the background, the mic picked this up too, which is a good sign of its sensitivity but also an indication that it will be at its best in a quiet environment. I am so impressed for the price. I have it running through a USB hub, not plugged directly into my Windows 10 PC, and it is perfectly happy to function. A note on the settings described in the short user guide. Whilst the instructions are better than average, and I followed them to the letter and all worked well except for one instruction. When I checked the "Listen to this device" option as directed, the feedback was appalling. I immediately unchecked the box and suffered absolutely no loss of performance. Everything worked perfectly. On searching around on the Internet I found that other people had also had this experience and experienced no problems leaving the option unchecked.

Muy bueno. Sencillo de utilizar. Mi MAC lo detectó sin problemas. En lo personal, el uso que le doy es para podcast. Con este único micrófono se escuchan de maravilla las intervenciones de todos los involucrados. Mucha fidelidad de audio. Recomendado.

I have been using this microphone for about 2 years now and decided I needed to review it. To summarize the rest of this review: This microphone is fantastic and I have gotten 2 great years of use out of it so far. If you need a microphone this is the one. I fully recommend this microphone. I have used this microphone for both streaming and Discord, both have fantastic quality while using them. I have no other software or hardware to use along with this and it work perfectly. The sound is crystal clear and the microphone picks up as much as you want it to. In both OBS and Discord I use their noise gate just to block low background noise (a room fan) and this works just fine. I was just looking for a cheap microphone that I could use temporarily, but stumbled upon this wonderful one. It is by far the best purchase I have made for my audio. I have a nice gaming headset and a webcam that I used before this, but in honesty there is no comparison. The difference is night and day. The microphone mic will pick up my voice up to 15 ft away with no noise gate (though it is much quieter). I typically am less than 2 ft away from the microphone when speaking and would say that within 1 ft is optimal. The stand is super convenient and is removable. The mic can angle about 90 degrees in the stand which helps position it close to your mouth (if that is your goal). In the 2 years of use I have only once had to tighten the screw on the side of the stand (and it was just a personal thing honestly). The microphone comes with a foam windscreen that is surprisingly effective. It drastically reduces pops and maintains sound quality. The cord is long enough for anything I have ever used it for. I honestly do not think I will "upgrade" any time soon because this microphone checks all the boxes I need checked: cheap, reliable, good sound quality, convenient, compact, and many others. This microphone is without any doubts the best purchase you could make for your voice recording needs.

Hard to believe how good this product is for the price. Quality and performance over expectations.

Vocals are like from your mouth to the device , same without any resistance.. overall too good!!

低価格で十分使えます。少し大きいかな？
