Review: An Awesome USB/XLR Microphone! Great for the Price and Super Easy To Use. - I’ve primarily used only Fifine Mic’s since I started content creation, I’ve had the K669B, and AM8 which has been my main microphone for the past year. The K688 is an excellent upgrade! The build quality is better, and the built in shock mount and better background noise reduction compared to the AM8 makes it worth it. The Metal build is super nice. I love the smaller design profile when compared to the AM8, and though not needed, the ditching of the RGB lights is something I do miss. I also love that it includes a USB A to C that can easily become USB C to C. The cable itself is pretty long, similar to the AM8, it makes it super easy to adjust it. Similar to the other Fifine mic’s I’ve had, this one works out of the box with no issues. The XLR compatibility is also super neat. I primarily just use the USB C cable, it makes it super easy to plug in and use. I highly recommend pairing the mic with a boom arm (Fifine’s BM63 is my personal recommendation), I hadn’t realized till now how much of a difference it makes and how much easier it is to stay close to the mic and maintain consistent volume and quality. On the audio quality, I have a pretty deep and monotone voice. I try to keep the mic as close as possible and project my voice to make it sound as clear and crisp as possible. I am still very impressed by the audio quality for this price, and I have no real complaints. I’ve had it for over 2 weeks as of this review, I would recommend it!
Review: High Quality Microphone for a Small Price. Great for Content Creators. - As a YouTube Content Creator, I was looking for the highest Quality Microphone I could get for a low price. There are some brands out there other YouTubers use that can cost a couple hundred dollars or more. Most of us who just start out on YouTube do not have that kind of money to spend. FiFine offers products to us at such an accessible price, it's hard not to take a look! The K688 is a Microphone that fits all my needs. I have used this Microphone in the USB configuration for several months and had absolutely no issues with it. The sound has been high quality giving me that studio sound that you would get from the higher price microphones. Recently, I added an audio mixer into my setup, the FiFine SC3 so that I can connect to XLR and use that quality. This microphone sounds great in XLR! But, it sounded great in USB mode too. I feel like regardless of how you wish to use this microphone, it will do an amazing job. When I first received the K688 it was extremely easy to use. You simply plug in the USB/XLR and plug it into your device you are connecting to. I purchased this microphone in the Color white to fit my setup. While in USB configuration you can adjust the microphone gain and the headphone volume with the Microphones knobs. You can also mute/unmute the microphone by simply pressing the touchscreen style mute button on the microphone. These features are not accessible in XLR mode because the Audio Mixer (In my case FiFine SC3) would take over those functions. I would definitely recommend this Microphone to content creators who want to sound amazing without spending a ton of money.

- [Monitoring and Volume Adjustment] The studio microphone ability to 3.5mm jack real-time monitoring along with headphone volume control is more accessible for voice-over work. You can monitor to judge if your output volume as intended or noise reduction effect, and directly set the monitoring volume on the vocal microphone to listen to each frequency audio. (Only available for USB connection)
- [Further Noise Reduction] The PC mic requires to keep a close distance to record. Thus, the included windscreen can dampen the impact of plosives to reduce the harshness in vocals.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for the price
*by C***E on April 8, 2026*

This microphone is really good, like really. The audio is crisp and clear, it captures minor background noise but it can be dialed down with PC Apps. The audio makes your voice really clear and easily heard, and this was using the USB feature, I'm planning to do XLR tests tomorrow. But after a day of having this microphone I can say it's quality for the price, I've been loyal to Fifine since 2020 and it has never failed me. The set up was easy, just open, put on your boom arm or stand, plug up and play. It's very fun if you're into gaming and I'd even say Music creation.
