FIFINE USB Microphone, Metal Condenser Recording Microphone for Laptop MAC or Windows Cardioid Studio Recording Vocals, Voice Overs,Streaming Broadcast and YouTube Videos-669B

I bought this for Chromebook and it just plugs straight in and works fine. The build quality is good and the sound quality based on a few quick tests is very good too. It has a quality metal and plastic construction that feels sturdy. The tripod legs fold out easily and stay in place. The lead is a good length too. I'm very pleased with this Microphone. It also has a neat volume control. I was looking at higher spec mics that have wide and stereo effects costing twice the price but I'm happy with this one. I do DJ live streams and I've yet to check wether this can handle heavy bass in a room setting so I can't comment on that kind of recording yet.I think this is a very good purchase for all my media adventures. I'm taking up singing using an autotune app and this will be perfect for that.

I really like this microphone, no faults found and the delivery was quick and easy. When I opened the package the microphone was well protected and presented. The sound quality is amazing! I compared it with my blue snowball microphone a £50 microphone and there was hardly any difference apart from a tad bit more background noise. The one thing I would improve is the tripod. It does not adjust and is a bit small, however you can mount the microphone to a boom arm to compensate for this.The whole build quality of the microphone is very good, the body is metal and not plastic which makes it feel very professional! It does not feel flimsy at all and is not a cheaply built product, this is because the microphone has fallen off my table and not broken, the audio quality wasnt even affected by the drop!Finally I love how you can compact the microphone, it literally fits in your pocket!Overall this microphone is possibly the best microphone I have tried yet, because of the price, well worth it and should be more expensive, the audio quality and the professional design and feel of the microphone!

FIFINE USB MICROPHONEThe sound quality from this mic is more than acceptable for it's price. The build quality is very solid and the desk stand is neat and convenient.I am using with windows 10 on a desktop PC. It takes a few seconds for windows to load the drivers and then you're ready to go. The level is adequate although not overly high. You will need to turn the volume knob near to maximum, although using Audacity to record, it is possible to overload when everything is at max. For the reviewers who complain about low level I can only assume that they have not used the control panel to go into the sound settings and adjust the mic recording level.I have tried a side by side comparison with my Shure SM58 and I cannot tell the difference between the two recordings.The only reservation that I have is that when used on my computer desk in the corner where I am set up, it does seem to emphasize the boominess of the acoustic in this location.

This is more of a long term review for this microphone which I rated as 5 stars when first purchased. Nothing to change that after an extended use and if it were to fail 9 months out of the 2 year warranty period I'd likely buy another as the cost has barely increased (was £30, now £35 at time of review).I don't game much but would imagine that the included stand would limit the utility for gamers who tend to favour setups much closer to the mouth.The included microphone flexible tripod was less than impressive and so I combined the mic with a positional mic stand (like an anglepoise lamp) which floats the mic about 30cm above my head while working/video conferencing.Sound quality is impressive for the cost (it is no studio XLR condenser mic but then the cost reflects that. I've found that the cardioid pickup pattern helps to reject off-axis ambient noise remarkably well. Colleagues commented on the improved quality of audio over what I had been using, namely a Microsoft Lifecam Studio built in mic. The Fifine will pick up some typing noise although I have found that much reduced when combined with AI processing using Nvidia's Broadcast audio available on 20+ series graphics cards.Nearly three years on, the mic shows no signs of wear and sound quality is a case of set once and forget with it rapidly becoming part of the background and never needing to fuss with settings.The included pop shield helps keep dust out of the metal-shrouded condenser mic and prevents most plosive consonants (B, D, P, T, etc) being boomy or popping if held close to the mouth.Would recommend and would buy again if the need arose.

Bought this microphone for gaming use (in discord voice chat with my friends) & it works amazingly! Set-up is super easy, you just plug it in & it installs drivers automatically, I just tweaked some noise suppression settings in discord & I was told my voice was crystal clear with no background noises such as static, keyboard/mouse clicking sounds which is perfect. I cannot say how well it works for recording, but if you want to buy only for gaming like I did, absolutely go for it ! The mic stand it comes with it pretty good, but I bought a separate mic arm & filter as well (the filter is not necessary but it helps with getting rid of background noise so I suggest ordering that with it too). Has no mute button, instead it comes with a volume control wheel.
