The K688 is much better. I ditched Maono for the K688 and I’m an audiophile. You will definitely get better performance with XLR connection.

@TekToyzGaming 3 ай бұрын

So you’ve given up that 24bit richness for 16bit? Interested to know what has you sold on the k688. Of course most of this is all relative to our own hearing abilities and taste.

@@TekToyzGaming and voice patterns as well. K688 picks up my voice so much better and love the low ends of the fifine as well. Does a much better job with background noise for me as well.

I have been watching reviews between these 2 mics because im upgrading from a $30 mic to an xlr. I definitely prefer the Fifine after everything ive seen and heard. The Maono has a more hissy, light and airy tone to it. And the Fifine has more of a heavy, bassy, full tone to it. Going off of just the hardware and the sound through the xlr i decided on Fifine. Great review though i really appreciate these. I actually chose the Moana neo over the fifine sc3 though. Also watched many reviews on those. The Moanas blutooth ability with the music fade ability was the factor. Great stuff

Does the dual output (USB & XLR) of K688 operate alternately or can they be used simultaneously? If they can be used simultaneously, is it possible as a backup in case one of them encounters an issue? How about PD200X? Can the USB & XLR be used simultaneously? I appreciate your assistance.

I bought this microphone a month ago and was thinking whether i made the right decision (now i do its awesome). Is it just me or you too feel like usb c mode sounds a bit processed even on the natural/original preset? I don't have a audio interface to compare but after watching most of the reviews i feel like xlr mode gives the best result

@TekToyzGaming 9 ай бұрын

Congrats on the mic. Yes xlr will give you better richer sound over usb. USB mode does have some processing happening. Try using the Maono link software to adjust audio. The settings will stay even after closing the software.

I have the Maono PD200X and I just couldn't get it dialed in to sound like I wanted it to through OBS. I did the same adjustments in OBS to my Blue Snowball and it actually sounded better than the Maono! LOL I was shocked. So I ended up keeping my Snowball hooked up. I may have not done something right but someday I will try the Maono 200 again.

@TekToyzGaming 6 ай бұрын

In usb mode the 200 sits right in the snowball competitive bracket. It’s not my favorite in usb mode either. In xlr mode that’s another thing. I have cheaper usb condenser mics that sound better than the pd200x via usb so not surprised.
