FIFINE Studio XLR Microphone, Dynamic Podcast Mic for Vocal, Recording, Streamer video, Voice Over, Metal Microphone with Cardioid Pattern, Black-K669D

Bought this to go along with a Behringer UMC22 last year and I'm not disappointed for the price. I previously used a Blue Yeti Nano as a desk mic which was also a good condenser microphone but has gone up quite a lot in price since I bought it. This combo on the other hand sounds better and is cheaper for my purpose - which is recording my voice. It is a dynamic microphone which is a bit different to a condenser, but it does pick some background noise still unlike many other dynamic mics(might be a negative to some).The build quality feels very premium and is quite heavy. The included metal tripod isn't the best but does the job, I've been using it with no problems of it falling over.As other reviews have said it does not come with an XLR cable so you need to buy your own if you don't already have a spare.

The box arrived a little banged up and torn so I was a little worried when I opened it up. The mic feels like a tank, however. Its heavy and solid. I did have to wipe a fine layer of dust off mine for some reason (perhaps a result of the manufacturing process, or something got in through the tear).Plugging it in it has a chirpy, present sound. The bass is quite rolled off so good for deep voices. I would not use this without a pop filter or "clown's nose" as it doesnt like the plosives like Ts and Ps.How I would use this mic?-on the upper bout of an acoustic instrument-podcasting/narration voice work-the back of a speaker of an open backed guitar cab-off axis front micing of a guitar speakerI wouldnt use this on a bass instrument, bass guitar cab or anyone with a higher pitched voice

I generally use condenser mics but wanted to try a dynamic so when for a cheap, well tested one and I'm glad I did.Build quality is nice and premium and it's not too big. The sound quality is relatively neutral, more neutral than a lot of budget mics. I do find it slightly boxy in the mids but some subtle EQ works well, for my voice which is fairly average for a male, not too deep or too high, I find a small boost at 100hz and then a small high shelf cut starting at 1k creates a subtle warmth while still retaining a neutral profile.There isn't much of a proximity effect compared to a dynamic mic, although I do find the low mids sound slightly muddy when too close, but again EQ helps a lot.One pleasant surprise I got is how much cleaner my voice sounds due to it not picking up the room reflections and tone like my condensers do. Overall it's a lovely mic for a reasonable cost and offers a very clean and clear sound, even without processing.

I've been using two of these with a Zoom Podcast 4 for months and am really, really happy with the sound it gives. They're very, very well made, and they have some weight to them compared to other cheaper mics. Go for it; you won't be disappointed.

Does more than you would expect for a budget XLR microphone, for the price you really can't go wrong. Bought for my partner to use to record YouTube videos and it has been fantastic (great background noise reduction) since we live in a flat in the busy city centre often you can hear motorcycles etc.But with this little mic and a cheap pop filter it has been excellent allowing her to record at any time of day with next to no issues.Also bought the XLR controller to go with it for gain and monitoring, so far it's been a step up from the more expensive SM7B that broke after very little use.Better highs and a more natural and warm sounding voice on the recordings (highly recommend) also great for discord 👍

I have used FIFINE mics before, but my review is definitely an honest one. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the microphone sounds. It’s an XLR mic which means you have to connect it to an audio interface.Built quality is very strong. All metal, feels sturdy and the little tripod that’s included in the box also makes using it effortless. Much more expensive mics don’t even include stands in their packages. It looks very professional, perfect for recording podcasts & zoom calls.If you are looking for an inexpensive mic with superb quality I would definitely suggest this one ☝️

I baught both this and the same branded mixer assuming everything would be there for what I needed. And no XLR cable in either.

This is a nice basic dynamic microphone. The sound quality is actually quite good and lifts a bit in the mid frequencies, which does help to brighten up dialogue. The build quality is fantastic for such a cheap mic.
