FiFine K688 USB / XLR Mic Review (vs FiFine K658, Shure MV7, Maono PD400X, Samson Q9U, FDuce SL40)

pickled penises what lol

Fifine has definitely a harsher tone compared to sm7b but I think a simple equaliser or compressor could do the job, it's insane though how overall close the comparsion was and I think on speakers it's very hard to tell the differenece.

Can you compare it to the Elgato Wave DX or just tell me which one of them is better

I do vocals and Narration what you recommend fduce sl40 or fifine k688 ?

Sorry to say but you are saying it wrong it’s ‘Fine Fine’ not ‘Fi Fine’ dispite the spelling. 😊

"pickled penises"

This is the best comparison video I have ever seen. Great job and appreciate the hard work you put into this one.

For the Price/Quality ratio I give to FiFine K688 USB / XLR 10 of 10, or, even 99 of 10. Superb mic...

Fifine k688 or sm7b?

This is exactly how every review should be! Thanks man I‘m so happy I found your video! Gonna get the fifine k688 so excited :)

Hello. What is better fifine k688 or FDuce SL40? Price is not important, the sound on usb

I'm curious if you can use XLR and USB-C outputs at the same time.

good afternoon , I wanted to ask you , which would be better for a wind instrument , trumpet , to record , thank you very much

great sound for such a low price. Def gonna be my next mic!

Your good with the guitars

does it need a 48v phantom power?

did you try already the maono pd200x? do you think it is better on fifine k688(k658)?

It really shouldn't be hard to make a mute button that could be powered by the Phantom Power of an audio interface/mixer. Also, if supplying Phantom Power to the mic anyways, might as well add a booster to it powered by the same thing. Now THAT would be the perfect dynamic broadcast mic for streamers and content creators.

typing this during microphone blind test... guessing 5 is smv, 1 and 2 for fifine. 6 should be maono. samson # 3 shure mv #4.

I just got the FineFine k688 (it arrives on friday) AND I AM SOO HYPED

How does it compare to the maono Pd200x?

Hi question do the knobs work when using XLR output or like mute, only works when in USB output

Nice video, I want to get one for recording vocals, music, I like the k688 what's your advice?

get it together people its "fine fine"

you are the only person mentionning the mute button doesnt work with xlr, i thought i was stupid because i thought my mute was broken... this is the only downside of the mic with xlr. but i love the mic

how to make my fifine k688 look like exactly as sm7b?

i hate the shock mount that comes with k688

I'd like to change the mount with sm7b

Awesome video

My rating from best to worst after the blind test
4 - Fifine K688
3 - Shure MV7
2 - Samson Q9U (the one I got for $99)
1 - Maono PDX400
5 - FDuce SL40
6 - Fifine K658

Honestly I was sure 4 was the Shure and 3 was the Samson lol

So glad I bought this mic. I found 4 to be the best sounding during the mic tests, and sure enough it was the k668.

which configuration has on your audio interface for the mics? they sound awesome!

What are the best Gain or audio settings for this mic?

You got me at Kitty Purr test, gotta subscribe!!

Love your review!

Looking for the best mic for conference calls and phone calls (via Microsoft Phone Link) at max 100 usd. Looked into FiFine K678 but I am not sure I made the right choice. Maybe K688 is a better choice for clear phone calls?

Will the sm7b's pop filter fit with that mic? Been searching a lot for it, I can't find a solid answer for it.

Solid review and exactly what I was looking for. That blind test sealed it for me, that K688 sounds great!

Fi Fine and still insist calling it FINE FINE stopped watching, I just know it would be a waste of time listening to this naive fool

Ugh the FDuce sounds so good I can’t decide if I want to get the fduce or the zdm1 😩 they are both $49.99. And that’s for the xlr only for the fduce. I like the fifine too and have it on my list but the price is just not in my budget. I’m looking to buy 6 microphones for my podcast that I will be using with the Podtrak P8.

So it looks like this microphone is mostly for use where you're up close and personal. Would there be a better option for when you don't want your microphone in the shot?

Bro, you had me at "kitty purr test". You've earned my subscription today 🐈

This is the type of review I hope to reach someday. It is well structured and informative. I''ve also made a review on my channel in case anyone needs more reference about this microphone.

Great Review Bro 👍🏽

You can use a preamp like I do and makes a big differences . had one laying around. the Turnstile Audio Platform Series Tap100mp Microphone Preamplifier. Think I paid $25 at the time for mine.

pd400x or fifine k688?

FDUCE SOUNDS LIKE A PIECE OF DUCE. LOL all other ones sound good.

Can someone talk about the noise cancellation pls? Is it good or bad

I want to ask what your microphone level is on the gain knob and your volume in the windows sound settings

Fuck, I liked most Shure. :/
