I recently picked up the Fifine K688 after seeing some buzz online, and honestly, I'm pretty impressed. I've done a full video review on YouTube channel, (search my channel for my Fifine K688 review), and I wanted to share my thoughts here too.
First off, the build quality is much better than I expected for a mic at this price point. It feels sturdy and the shock mount is already attached. Setting it up was a breeze - just plug and play using USB C, no complicated drivers needed. But for the more advance get yourself an XLR and connect via an amp or sound interface. This makes a big difference.
The sound quality is where this mic really shines. For voiceovers, streaming, and even basic music recording, it delivers clear and crisp audio. I was particularly pleased with the warmth and richness it captured, which is something you don't always get with budget microphones. This is positioning itself as a Shure SM7B competitor (but at significantly less price) The cardioid pattern does a good job of rejecting background noise, which is crucial for my setup.
The gain control on the mic itself is a nice touch, allowing for quick adjustments without having to dive into software settings. The mute button is also conveniently located and works perfectly. This functionality is only available when using the USB C connection.
Now, it's not perfect. If you're looking for professional studio-grade sound, you'll need to invest in something more expensive. But for the average user, content creator, or someone just looking for a decent mic for online meetings, this is a fantastic value. Sound quality is excellent and for the price it punches WAY above its weight.
Pros:
Excellent sound quality for the price
Solid build and stable stand
Easy plug-and-play setup
USB C/XLR connections
Convenient gain control and mute button
Good background noise rejection
Cons:
Not truely professional studio quality (but that's expected at this price)
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. The Fifine K688 punches well above its weight and is a great all-rounder for anyone needing a reliable and affordable USB microphone. Highly recommended!

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.

Perfect Mic for Podcasts and Streaming! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Top microphone for podcast and creating content
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2025
I recently picked up the FIFINE Recording XLR/USB Microphone for my first podcast, and I have to say, it’s been an absolute game-changer. The sound quality is fantastic—clear, crisp, and professional-sounding. It’s perfect for everything I need, whether it’s recording vocals, voice-overs, or just chatting on a stream. Honestly, the audio could not be better for the price.
What really impressed me is how sturdy and well-built the mic feels. It has a solid metal design, which gives it a premium, durable feel. It’s the kind of mic that can take a little wear and tear, which is exactly what I was looking for. No cheap plastic here—this feels like a high-quality piece of gear.
Also, if you’re considering this mic, I’d highly recommend picking up the official Fifine stand to go with it. It’s minimalistic, simple, and looks amazing in your setup. It’s a perfect match, and it adds a touch of elegance without taking up too much space.
All in all, I’m extremely happy with this purchase. It’s a perfect mic for beginners or anyone looking to step up their audio game. The sound quality, sturdiness, and overall design make it a solid choice for podcasting, streaming, and more. Highly recommend!

Great mix, needed a mic setup on a boom arm to give my desk a bit more space.
This is a great all rounder, with USB-C, XLR and headphones connectivity. Headphones & mic knob control with a tap to mute which makes quick adjustments easily.
I will be using this for my content creation, it's well priced and sounds great and simple to use. Overall happy with the purchase.
