Review: Excellent Microphone - I bought this for my brother as a late Christmas gift and i have to say, with all the microphones i have had this one was defonitely worth it for the price. He uses it for streaming and the sound quality on it is immaculate. it was as simple as plug-in and use via USB - TYPE C or can be used with XLR and some sound kit Easy muting as there is a sensor on the microphone. Using the microphone arm from the same brand it has good cable covers and makes the microphone easy to adjust.
Review: Solid mic for the price! - The Fifine K688 is a nice microphone with USB and XLR connectivity, offering great flexibility. While it delivers solid performance, be careful when handling it, as it can be slightly resonant. This mic truly shines when used with XLR, providing better sound quality and control. It’s easy to use, well-built, and though lightweight, it feels sturdy enough. For beginners who don’t want to invest in an audio interface just yet—or those looking for a portable, plug-and-play option—the K688 is a solid choice. Plus, it can grow with you if you decide to upgrade to an audio interface later. The zero-latency monitoring is a great feature, and with Fifine moving the capsule back, it’s now less prone to plosives. For the best results, position the mic at a 45-degree angle to your mouth and use the included windshield.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value for money
*by C***R on 26 April 2024*

If you're a new podcaster, YouTuber or live streamer looking to buy your first microphone, everyone will tell you to buy the Shure SM7B, because it's what 95% of all the big content creators use. Problem is, it's very expensive. The good news is you can get excellent sound quality for a fraction of the cost. That's where the Fifine K688 comes in. The sound is clear and well balanced with a natural low end and smooth highs. The build feels fine. It's a dynamic microphone, which means it's more directional than condenser mics such as the Yetis or HyperX's, meaning it cuts out more of the background noise but you need to have it closer to your mouth. Conveniently it has both a USB and XLR connection, so if you don't have an audio interface you an just plug it into your PC, however the mute button only works via USB. I've deducted a point from the sound, because the one negative it has is it's very sensitive to knocks and handling noise. Touching the body or moving the cable will result in very audible noise, probably the worst handling noise of any mic I've ever tried.
