Missed opportunity not wrapping up with your "Fifinal thoughts."

Hello! I've been using this microphone for almost two years (planning to upgrade in a few days). I've been stressing it out a lot with voice acting and energetic voice over. It's always connected so I can use it on Discord or any other voice chats and it's still working as Day 1. I really recommend this microphone to anyone who wants to start streaming or podcasting with a reduced budget.

just got this mic yesterday, its so much quality considering the price!

I've used the fifine mic for a year so far on my stream, I much prefer it over most of the more expensive microphones. Added pop filter on the fifine helps a lot I found to make it sound even better.

Really really love your camera quality....

I've literally ordered this mic before coming across this video.

“This sounds more than fafine to me!” 😂😂😂😂

Recommend the fifine t669 USB mic. It's basically the same one, but with a boomarm, pop filter, that tripod stand and a windscreen. So, It's basically a whole kit for around $50. For around 2 years, This mic is still fifine for me.

I've been using this mic for a couple of years now and I'm actually really happy with it still! The sound is perfectly good for what I paid and even after two moves the microphone is in good shape! My only real issue is that the mic-stand it comes with isn't the best quality and it eventually broke so I had to replace that at one point. For someone looking to get into streaming and podcasting, or if you want a "set it and forget it" microphone for voice chat, it works wonders!

It's thoroughly okay! The Yeti sounded significantly smoother while the Fifine was more harsh and crisp in the top end. But definitely a good buy for the money and more than enough for most folks.

I’ve had this mic for around 3 years and I’ve dropped it, stepped on it, sat on it, and screamed into and It still works perfectly!

My god, the lighting on this video. 😍

Checked this microphone out a while back and really liked it, the Yeti's time is over (and has been for a while, imo) for the price it (still) costs when mics like this are around out there (as well as the Tonor TC-777 and the Samson Q2U/AT2005USB). Great vid!

I've been looking for a good mic for a cheap price and this review sold me, thank you for the review!!

Appreciate the review. My brother just gave me this mic today for Christmas and it seems quite impressive.

Just bought this mic on Friday it will be here, can’t wait to use it!

I currently have two FiFine microphones and I’m always impressed with their sound quality. The only frustrating thing about these mics is the (as you mentioned) permanently attached cable. Aside from that, they are both fabulous for the price.

For my very untrained ear it sounded very adequate!

We are using the FiFine usb lapel/headset mics for our teachers to use in the classroom for hybrid classroom situations. I was really (REALLY) surprised that it worked as well as it did for the price. It was very easy for my staff to use.

Thanking you for review these microphones, hope to purchase one of these soon.

This review was more than just FiFine, Great job 👏🏽 😜👍🏽

I'm going to get this now! Thanks for the advice

Thanks for the review :) I get my Fifine in few days, can't wait !

Thanks for this review! Especially for doing comparisons with high end mics.

I got this at the beginning of online school in Sept 2020. It works wonderfully. When I heard classroom presentation recorded on Zoom, I could hear my voice clearly compared to my classmates who used earphones or laptop mic.

The fifine has a much fuller sound in my opinion. I’m sold. Thank you for this very informative video and breakdown with sound test

Yep think this is what ill pick up for starting out streaming. Thanks for the review very helpful

Thanks again for all that you do! I've learn so much from this channel.

i love the mic personally, ive had a few friends buy one after hearing how good mine sounds

AWESOME review, Tom! Funny thing, I watched the video both on headphones and on my iPhone (11 Pro Max) and the Fifine sounded better on my iPhone! It's probably the highs that a lot of these cheaper mics provide a boost on, allowing us to perceive them as clearer and more mix-ready. But some people blame treble-accented microphones for listener ear fatigue. Being an audio geek, I would most likely not use it for professional VO client work, but it's really impressive. So much so, that I *could* even suggest it to VO beginners who are in need of entry-level equipment, which they will eventually outgrow down the road. As a fellow Mac user, I use LoopBack whenever I need to record multiple sources of audio. I don't know if I can record two USB mics on separate channels in my DAW, but I know for a fact that I can record or route as many devices and applications as I want to a virtual stereo out. It's like a virtual mixer! I also use it for client work. Whenever they are monitoring my performance through Zoom, I route everything into a virtual device that I have created in Loopback and choose it as the input for Zoom. That way I can play back what I recorded for them, share audio from videos or music or anything else you can think of. All apps of my Mac can be sources for Loopback. Super handy! Love your content! Did I say that today? Eh, maybe I did on another platform.

Just came across your video, this is awesome to get some sound testin and comparisons. Thank you so much, I love how you added the timestamps! :)

Interesting! Totally didn’t know what to expect with that mic. Great video, as always, Tom 👍🏽

Bro thats some quality content from a channel under 100k subs. Really Hope You would reach a million one day. Thx for the review mate, appreciate it!

that's the first video that im watching from u and i really really enjoy the background mate great job

Great review Tom!

I just bought one.waiting for my order

I've been using the FiFine T-669 which is part of a kit that comes with an arm, shock mount, pop filter, tripod, and detachable usb cable all for $60. Very happy with the sound.

i bought the mic couple days ago and I am getting it today and im honestly excited to get it:)

Great video. The Fifine is a superb little mic. I used it for a year or so with more than acceptable results. Though if you work in a noisy environment then it will pick up background sounds such as computer fans etc. It also has a little self noise, though nothing that a touch of noise reduction can't handle. I recently switch to the Samson Q2U as it has a more localised pickup pattern which helps with the environment noise, and virtually no self noise. But if I had a quieter work space I would have been happy sticking with the Fifine.

I've been teaching remotely with this mic since April...it is a great mic for the price, works great with OBS and ZOOM...

It sounds decent. I'd like to try this budget mic

Thanks for your helpful video, just ordered one!

I really enjoyed this video - I bought this FiFine mic to record half of cell duets so I could play along with them. I thought it did a terrific job for musical recording (cello frequency range)

Just adding my two cents: I am an audio/video/music guy. I just got the Fifine USB mic for my wife for her work video conferencing calls. It is absolutely perfect for that. It’s cheap, it’s well built, it’s unobtrusive, looks good in the frame, and it sounds about the same as if I’d set her up with a much higher priced mic. The permanently attached cable is actually a positive in that context since it is one less thing to go wrong.

Thank you for this review. I'm a novice and I think the Fifine is fine for me. I usually use a lapel mic for my crafting videos but occasionally I would like to do a voiceover. Right now I need simple and easy. I do not hear much of a difference in sound quality. Thank you!

I have it for two years and it is working amazing.

Amazing value n great video!

HI Tom. I just wanted to say a HUUUGE 'Thank You" for all you do and sharing your videos. I really enjoy watching t hem. I have a question about the color correction on your videos. How do you do them in bluish color? Thanks again.

I have used two FiFine usb mics for voiceover recordings and every time i edit the recordings I’m shocked by how good it sounds for the money.

very informative, thank you !

Great review and Thank you for not saying "Without further ado" 😄 Usually I stop the videos there😄

I just started looking into this mic after buying a HORRENDOUS JLAB audio mic. After hearing that the audio is so much clearer and crisper for its price, I didn't hesitate in buying the product. I see this as an absolute win

Got this mic since december 2020. Makes me sound a professional on Google Meet! If you're using for simple stuff like video calls, talk to your friends while playing warzone or record some content on business instagram, you probably don't need a better microphone.

This mic gets delivered to my house today! Cant wait!

Hello Tom, I have been using this mic for a bit less than 2 years now. I got it for free from a friend so I gave it a try and it turned out to be a great mic for simple every-day tasks. I might think this mic would be ok even for intermediate users. I have some issues with the AC sound coming in the mic, so I have to turn the AC off before using the mic. Thank you for your content, thumbs up and way to go!

2:33 yes you can! If you just open the microphone you can desoder the wire and soder a new one in. I can see that some people don't have the option doing this but if you can and the wire is broking, than u should try this out. And if your scared of breaking the hole microphone, the microphone is already broken so there is not much to worry about.

Weirdly enough I played back both the tracks from each of my headphones over each other and the fifine actually sounded better than the MV7?!

Great presentation Tom. I've been using Finfine mic for almost a year now. I use it for my zoom meetings, voice recordings, and other media. I use it as my Ecamm Live main mic. Its great considering the price. No issues so far.

Watched your review and a few others and last January I got a Fifine K669B myself. Early on I swapped the stand to one that can got higher and lower than the included stand. It's a lot better than the mic inside my webcam, though since its a condenser mic the noises in my area can get into the recording (and having a reflective room with no sound dampening doesn't help haha). Should have gotten a dynamic mic, but don't regret getting the K669B honestly since its pretty good and can pick up more frequencies than the webcam mic. I tend to use noise canceling for calls and noise removal effect when recording audio. Covered it with a few layers of socks later to prevent dust from getting inside the holes of the cover of the mic capsule and it helped a little bit with the plosives.

Been thinking about getting this for a while.

I have one, never regret, especially for the price.

It's funny hoy i got this microphone because i just was looking for a desk arm for one of my other microphones, and the person who was selling it included the microphone too, so basically i got it "for free", and it supriced me so well because i been using it the las month for my videos and streams and the quality is pretty cool, i mean, i attached a pop filter and passed the audio for some eq's and other plugins but the results are pretty cool if you know how to process the audio, absolutelly i do recomend it for anyone who has a low budget to start any audio proyect, i just don't like the cable is not detachable, that could be the only bad thing about this microphone, great video man.

Amazing work

Been using this mic for around a year now, sound quality is out of this world for $35, and I've been recommending it to anyone whose been thinking about buying a yeti or any other $60+ microphone. I honestly think its on par, if not better than most $100 mics out there

I've been using this mic for a couple of months. There is also a package that comes with a version with a removable USB cord, mic stand, small boom arm, foam cover, and wind screen. It was approx $85.

Seems like a good mic. I have a Samson Q2U, and I love it. It is both USB and XLR, and for the price it’s a steal. Thanks for the great review!

I cant with you and the dad jokes… really kept me watching… oh and the info is awesome too 😂

i felt the FiFine sounded better than the Shure mic.also, i noticed your EQing at the end made your voice sound more muffled compared to the raw

Hey Tom. You can use the "Audio-Midi" utility in the Mac's Utilities" folder and select both USB inputs combined into one Aggregate Device. You could also use Rogue Amoeba's "Loopback" program to combine hardware (and software) inputs into a single audio device that every single DAW I've tried allows for multi-track recording

I couldn't tell the difference between the shure and fifine, only going to use this for law school. Great review man, you spent a lot of time talking regularly unlike other reviewers.

Good review man!

This rereview was pretty helpful. I hear gogood things about this brand regularly. Really fifine. But really though, this brand seems a step up from the Neewer stuff for someone new to audio.

VB-Audio do the voicemeeter which allows multi usb mic inputs . Google VB-Audio Great vid just ordered a fifine 👍🏻

I really didn't focus on the voice output from microphone comparison, I hit the like & sub button because your voice sounds very relaxing! Mabuhay from the Philippines!

I've had mine for a little bit and done a little recording and have heard nothing but positive comments on the sound quality. I'm happy with the purchase tbh.

This was my first microphone that i ever bought, i think i made a good choice. After the cord broke, the next one I bought was also a fifine, the k669, it was even better, with a replaceable cord too. Fifine is a truly underrated brand for microphones.

You could try VoiceMeeter to mix USB audio, it's a Virtual Audio Mixer. I use it or more recently the audio mixer in OBS Studio to run my live classes on our VLE (Virtual Learning Environment)

Thank you 🙏 Tom

its so fine brooooo, ill definitely buy this

The mic looks super cool

speaking from experience, got the cable caught in the scissor arm of my mic stand... was able to splice the cables back together with a decent electrical tape job hahah so, if you're crafty... you don't *need* to throw the whole microphone away

It was very helpful ! Thank you!

I already have an condenser mic with Audio interface but still I want to buy this. I loved it.

ngl this helped out a lot I have been looking at this mic for a while now and really wondered if it was good and again this helped me out soooo much ty man u earned a sub like and noti bell on :)

"Only use 1 usb mic at a time" use a software like VoiceMeeter, its free and allows for you to input from 2 devices and output audio to 2 devices at the same time. You can adjust both devices independently of each other as well

woah it sounds great!

great editing and puns haha

i told my self i stop buying stuff but then u reviewing this items jus makes sense that i get it. hmm ok Fifine i'll order it . and i will use your link. lol Fifine

hey i personaly bought the fifine mic and there are actually multiple packages for it like you said in the video it would be great with a boom arm, but guess what in my pac it gets you a boom arm detatchable cord and windscreen but it was 60$ intead of 30$ just wanted to let you know

8:23 YUP!!!!!!!!!! Pretty darn close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great review, thanks

great video man, very informative.

u've got an amazing background

I own a similar model to the one in the video mine was 75 you can change the cord on mine and it came with a mic arm wind screen and a nylon arm thing i stream with it and am current making a video with it I think it sounds fine and even good with some audio engineering I haven’t actually had a bad experience with the mic yet but it’s only been a month I would personally recommend it

I've been using this microphone for about 8 months now and have absolutely no complaints! I actually just put together a video on my channel to utilize Reaper VST Plug-ins and Voicemeeter to get better overall quality and clarity with these cheaper USB mics. Would also highly recommend a boom arm if you're using this to bring it closer to your mouth. Great video overall!

That was clear. Thank you

I wish mic reviewers do scream/shout tests, especially on cheap mics such as this FiFine K669. I've used this mic for three months, only then to realize that my mic cuts out when i shout/scream. Immediately upgraded to a Rode Procaster on a Behringer UMC22 interface, and alas, fixed the cutting out problem. I regretted every cent i paid for this NotSoFiFine mic.

I'm curious how you managed to reduce the background noise so much! I tested the product through garageband so it could just be the software capabilities could be different but would love to learn because I am wanting to use these mics for a podcast!

I have had this mic for a while. For some reason my mic had a little echo. I got a pop filter and now it is a really good mic for the price.

I had it for almost a year, amazing just what I neede, I know jack about sound but just today it stopped working for seemingly no reason. So I was lookin up reviews to see if someone has the same problem. And yeah the audio quality, given the price is breathtaking, lovin its easy use. :-D
