Today, I have the FiFine K678 USB Condenser Microphone in the Audio Hotline Studio! This is a relatively budget friendly USB mic. It isn't insanely cheap, but it is cheaper than the Blue Yeti (comparison in video, timestamps available below). I talk about the basics of this mic, I unbox it, I talk about the specs and I throughly test it out! If you have any additional questions, feel free to leave a comment or contact me by email (info below).
If you are trying to make an educated buying decision, and are considering this mic, be sure to check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!
Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!
