Just in case anyone is on Linux and facing this problem, open /etc/pulse/default.pa file and add the below two statements - load-module module-echo-cancel aec_args="noise_suppression=1" source_name=echoCancel_source set-default-source echoCancel_source Save and close the file. Reboot. That's it.
I like how they said "a bit expensive" for a 15 dollar arm stand. That's on the cheaper end, but I actually do like that they are aware that most people buying this mic are doing it on a budget, so a 15 dollar accessory can be out of range for some people.
Hi ґеніяльний цинамон, do you mind giving us more details about your mic, and which model it is? Where did you get it? And did such an issue happen when you use the mic for the first time?
I’ve had it for a while and was disappointed, whenever I play with people they say it sounds like im in a tunnel or that it’s load. I keep it a fair distance from my mouth and even on the lowest audio settings I get the same feedback. I will try this stuff later
Hi there, sorry about the issue. But the problem you have sounds like it's about setting and placement. You may think it's our defense but K669B is not toned to be a warm mic. Therefore the level, range and environment are more crucial when it comes to echo sound. It's chiche to tell you to set dial at around 60%, computer input at around 80% and more importantly keep speaking range at around 3-5 inches. What's more and more efficient is to do with the environment, if moving furniture behind and around to a closer range to you is not possible. It's for breaking down the sound, so that there's less of them will be bounced back. And a more direct way, if you can be bother, is to setup a treated room by using moving blanket.
Hey fifine. I bought your mic a bit ago and it worked like a charm the first few weeks but now it's very very quiet and the output is very quiet. Please help.
Hi dominic yang, sorry about this issue. But it's hard to tell what's the problem without further troubleshooting. Which model did you get and what computer system did you use? Do you have another PC available for testing?
#FIFINEMICROPHONE Hi Fifine, I'm looking forward to getting a K669b microphone for my RUclips gaming channel, but I don't have much space on my desk. Do you know the name of that stand you used to put the microphone on? Thank you.
Hi there, it's the boom arm stand. And if you haven't got the K669B, now you can have an upgraded T669 bundle on Amazon, which includes the arm stand, a pop filter as well as a shock mount. T669: amzn.to/316muD4
Hi Fifine, I really want to get the K669B bundle on amazon but it is not available on the U.K. Will it be out soon? If not is there another bundle that can serve as a replacement? Many thanks!
@@UnknownUser-jo9nr Hi there, it won't be released in UK quite soon. You could order from our website instead, but without the Amazon logistic service, the shipping will take a pretty long time, 6 weeks maybe. Or purchase from FIFINE AliExpress store could be a little faster than 6 weeks.

Hi Matthew, sorry for the late reply. Please check out one of our blog posts below to do the troubleshooting. fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/fix-of-microphone-control-adjusting-itself
I just got this mic, and whenever I have the volume completely turned off, in both settings and on the knob, there's just a quiet static. And as soon as I bump up the audio a tad bit that static becomes noticeably louder and you can hear it over my voice no matter how close I am to the mic, how loud the volume is set to etc. also I'm on a MacBook. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi NoahSham, thanks for sending us a detailed description of the product. Um, have you tried recording down the audio with the mic, but playing back the recording with different output, such as an internal speaker, headphone and Bluetooth connected speaker or headphone? It's quite weird. When you turned the mic all the way down, then it should not be picking up any sound at all.
I ordered my microphone a few months ago with no issues, atleast that’s what I thought, my friends said my mic sounded kind of muffled but I just thought they were being nit picky since the audio I’ve seen from RUclips reviews sounded great, but when I actually recorded a clip of audio recently and listened to it, my mic audio sounds VERY muffled and I even got a noise gate to see if that would somewhat make a the audio a little better but it’s not noticeably different, since I got it months ago I can’t return it so I’m a little disappointed but to be fair the mic was $30
Hi there, sorry about the issue. But noise do little about the clarity, on the opposite, only if a mic is so sensitive that it pick up a bit more noise. And that should be seen in the recording of K669B. So it's kind of werid in your case that K669B being muffled. But we can help fix it. And since you have recorded the file, which should make the trouble-shooting much faster, you can send us the MP3 recording to our support email: web@fifinemicrophone.com with your order number. So that we can do a thorough audio analyse to find out the issue.
All this issue can be solved. If Fifine developer a decent Software for noise cancellation compatible with the USB Mic. Like ANY other Mic developer/manufacture.
No problem, we will look into that aspect. But actually, you can use the mighty RTX Voice instead, all the noise problems will be solved and the sound quality remains if the settings are decent. Below is one of our blogs for your reference or you can search for the related content on RUclips. fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/problem-for-centuries-background-noise-is-sovled-now
Just wondering if i could used the mic with other software like obs,xsplit,or other recording software.cuz i was bit skeptical since my last mic i bought doesn't wrk with the software!!!!
Yes, this K669B will work perfectly fine with those software you mentioned. I think the problem of your last mic is that it's not even recognized by your computer in the first place.
Hi there, um, I'm afraid that in such as none of condenser mic will work petty well. Maybe you can consider lapel mic or dynamic microphone. But even those types will still pick up some of the background sound.
Is a thronmax mdrill one good because I’m trying to do videos on my channel but my PS4 is loud and the thronmax will either not pick it up or have it a silent background and has different options on were it picks it up so is that a good option btw I have your fifine mic
@@Dra5k Um, sorry, we haven't had a chance to do a thorough test on any model of this brand. But we don't think there's noticeable differece on the aspect regarding to the noise rejection, since it's still a USB condenser microphone.
I might wont get a reply but here goes. I have the T669 version of this microphone and i'm wondering what the correct way is to set up the levels. Do i increase the hardware gain (knob on the microphone) first and windows levels after or the reverse? Currently the knob is on 20-25% and in windows on 90% and i have a lot of noise from my keyboard and mouse. Is this a misconfiguration on my part? or just how the mic is and i need to get it even further from my keyboard and mouse? It is currently on the boom arm it comes with about 3-4 inches from my mouth and at least double that from my keyboard and mouse. I dont have a mechanical keyboard either. Just trying to learn what the correct way is to set up this microphone.
Hi there, you setup the mic without a problem. What's behind the noise is that the keyboard and mouse are still too close to the mic and the noise from those device is in the similar frequency range of human voice. Thus, even you can use software like OBS noise gate or Reaper plugin to eliminate some of those noise when you're silent. But it will become noticeable when you start to talk. Leave alone a sensitive condenser mic as T669 is, even for a dynamic mic, you're still going to hear quite some noise. What you can do is to try to use some plugin, software control (shown in the video below) and put those noise source as far away from you as possible. ruclips.net/video/kLB3RXHGepE/видео.html&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR20wBj-ViuctDpLiAuqxEPAeHYUao98KluQyL_WVRx3N9-FAv37tG6ES6w
FIFINE MICROPHONE Thank you so much. I really appreciate the reply and the information! After playing around a bit i can definitely tell that indeed the mic is very sensitive and there is not much more i can do to get rid of the mouseclicks/keyboard noises but it is at an acceptable level now. Only thing i'm still really confused on is what order i should follow to set my levels correctly? Should i first adjust the knob on the mic itself and then do some adjustments after with the windows slider OR should i just put the windows slider at 100 and slowly adjust the knob on the mic after that? I'm really not sure what the optimal way is to go about this process unfortunately and i feel not knowing this is holding me back from maybe fixing my levels and potentially my noise issues some more. Again, thank you soo much for the help here!
@@WvLeegoard Hi there, it's better to start with the dial setting first, keep it at around 50% and start to adjust the Windows input from there. You can click open an recording software like Audacity to have level meter for gauge. Having meter move around -16 dB to -12 dB would be a pretty good setting for voice (leave alone the keyboard or mouse noise since no matter how they just cannot be eliminated).
@@FIFINE AWESOME! Really much appreciate the support you guys offer! Don't see that very often so i am pleasantly surprised. I've played around with it some more, also utilising Adaucity like you mentioned and i've found a great set up now for my environment. Like you say, the background noise can't really be eliminated without the use of software but i've gotten it to an acceptable level for sure. Thank you again for all the help!
Hi there, the only way to reduce delay is to lower the input and output volume. But you cannot get rid of it. Because the microphone audio needs to be processed and converted in your computer sound card, the delay is inevitable. We're afraid that it's not the delay of this mic, but it's not supposed to be used to for monitoring. You should have the mic with low-latency monitoring jack such as the K678 or K690.
Hi KadoDaGod, any standard arm stand would work, you can look for the ones with the highest-ranking or the most reviews. I'm afraid that we can't send you any link for a budget arm stand because those who are selling the $12-$15 are our microphone competitors.
Hi JoshPlayz, just need to turn off the monitoring feature. For gaming, there's no need for hearing yourself. For recording, it's a mic without a low latency headphone jack, so you have to rely on the computer sound, then the delay is inevitable. So either situation, the best practice is to turn off monitoring.
Hi my Fifine T669 has been great, however today I noticed in some of my game clips I had a static noise sound in the background, quickly narrowed it down to my mic, i'm not sure why its started, its been muted with the volume knob and I havent used it for around a week, and ive never usually heard this before and have had it for well over a year now, it only goes away when I completely unplug it from the computer or disable the microphone in the recording tab
Hi Herb, sorry about this issue. But since it's about the noises, we can't confirm what may go wrong without getting the audio file. Do you mind sending a one-minute audio file with the order number to our support email at web@fifine.cc? And please set the dial of your T699 at 60%-80% and computer input at 80%-90% and keep the speaking range within 5 inches, and then record 30 seconds of you talking and another 30 seconds of you getting silent.
hello. I have your T669 microphone and I have a serious hissing sound in the background. even if I decreased the gain on microphone and also output volume of the laptop problem is not solved. do you have any suggestions ? Also can you suggest an app to use the microphone on Android ? I managed to connect it to my Android phone but hissing sound is still there , how can I remove this sound totally in Android ?
Hi Seçkin Güvenç, we're sorry about this issue. But I'm not sure if you mean that the T669 was used with a computer in the first part of your comment? If yes, did you connect the mic to your computer with a hub? Try connecting directly without using an adapter or hub. If the hissing still exists, see if it's possible to test the mic out on another computer. Just find out if it's the problem of the mic itself or not, before using it with Android. Because it's a PC microphone after all, the main purpose of it is to use with computers then the mobiles.
@@FIFINE I have the same problem as Seçkin Güvenç, i have pluged the usb in the laptop usb port and the hissing still happens, when i try it on my friends laptops it doesn"t even make a sound. I"ve wrote, in full detale my issue in the comments,( Use the filter and typw my username to find it!).
I recently bought a fifine k669b but I have a problem, when I use the microphone, it as I speak automatically increases the sensitivity of the mirophone or decreases in windows, compromising my audio. What to do to fix this?
Hi Underzy Games, sorry for the late reply. Please check out one of our blog posts below to do the troubleshooting. fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/fix-of-microphone-control-adjusting-itself
Hi GreatWhale64, you could test the mic on software that has a level meter. With the dial and the software input set to the max, and speak to the mic within 5 inches to see in which range the meter moves around. If it goes over -12dB, then your voice is pretty loud in actual use.
Hi maestrodake, we're sorry, but we don't know what to say about this either. It could be the various reasons causing such an issue. But you just didn't want to bother and giving the mic up, I think we've better to leave you alone for the explanation. Anyway, it's still our product, we're sorry.
@@idris2882 Yes, that one will work. It comes with the adapter. So you can screw that adapter into the K669B mic mount and install the mic onto the arm stand.
my mic was working great and suddenly over night I wanted to stream and the mic was giving terrible noise and static, i tried everyting in the video and it didnt work that is really annoying for me becuase it is the 3rd mic I am buying , guess I will get a blue yeti is way better uGHHH I fucking hate this shit, why does cheap mics has to be so awfull
Hi there, we're sorry about such issue. And we understand your upset. But being rude doesn't help solve the problem at all. And you haven't tried on a Blue Yeit, why are you so certain that it won't go wrong. You can check out the review on a Yeti or even much more expensive model, like the Shure or Neumenn mics and see if there's any complaint about malfunction. I think you can find quite a lot. Who says for sure that an expensive electronics will last long. We're not running away from our responsibility. But if you're getting the mic from our official channels. I'm sure you will get better customer service than you have from Blue. Please let me know the model number and order number. So that we can direct you to the proper channels for problem-solving.
@@FIFINE First, I wasnt being rude Second, i threw the mic away cuz after I teared it down I found out some cabels aren't secured well, I gave it to an electiric and he tried his best and the mic didnt work, so u should work more on the cabels and have proper securing
@@privated8746 We admitted our fault, and we're not running away from our responsibility. That's why we kept mentioning after-sales. And we just don't think it's anything related to price, it's cheap, but doesn't mean it's bad. Yeti is expensive, which doesn't mean there's no defective at all.
Some of these pointers are quite useful. My volume was turned down way to low. I had mine on 25% and so where I was enhancing my audio to much i was getting a ton of background noise. I set my windows volume to around 90% and then the mic audio to around 60%-70% and i get quite a good sound. Hope this helps people
Hi Tim, glad that it helps! The K669B is pretty sensitive, you really have to get the input level decent to have the best quality out of the mic. Hope you can enjoy using the K669B then!
I managed to fix background noise by adjusting the mic's volume at between 60 and 70% and the windows volume at around 90%. Problem solved. Thanks for showing this guide. Very helpful!
Hi chrono_network, sorry for catching sight of your comment late. Thank you very much for sharing your troubleshooting experience. That's true, the volume control is quite important for the sound quality.
@@FIFINE You're welcome, and that's fine. VoiceMod's Clean effect did also fix it right on top of the adjusted settings, thus making my voice sound more clearer and mitigating about 95-98% of the background noise when that software is running.
wow! i was almost sending the microphone back to amazon for bad quality. i thought the less you turn the regulator ON the mic the better the sound quality. i was completely wrong - set it up to 80-90% and just change the "level" settings on windows to 50-60 - after that all the background noise is fucking gone!
That's weird, it should be the lower level the better noise rejection. But anyway, thanks for sharing your troubleshooting method, which may help other users who may have the same issue.
are refunds allowed? I got the mic like a month ago (spend 60-70) dollars on it and I am not really happy with it.. during the month, I didn't use it, only 3 times just to test it out and i wasn't happy with the result. it had been sitting on my desk for a week now and i don't even touch it.. i want a refund please..
Hi Ruqayya ahmed, sorry about this issue. Please contact the after-sales support at web@fifine.cc with your order number and details of the problem. If you purchased from the official channel and the return window hasn't been closed, there should not be a problem to return it.
Hi Collaze, um the bit depth and sample rate is the attribute of a microphone. For some models, such a character is not changeable. If this option is grayed out, then you can just follow the other steps in this video. Or you can tell us directly what problem you have run into. So that we can have a better idea of how to help you fix it.
I am using Fifine k669b since more than a year. But it was never easy to use for me. I started getting a constant static cracking noise in the background right after first week of purchase. I tried to return it but didn't had any option after the first week. I was using this with some external softwares to remove that static noise but it's a headache now. Every time I record it takes more than one hour to setup it and sometime even multiple hours. I had to compromise with the voice quality in order to remove that voice. I was just checking for solution and found out we have 2 years warranty on these devices. So can you please provide me assistance or any other help? Otherwise may be I am asking for help on a dead video. In that case I have to buy another expensive mic for my youtube channel and won't recommend this one to any other person.
Hi Cricket Machine, sorry about this issue. It could be the circuit or the grounding issue, which can't be fixed unless you send it back to us. But where did you get your K669B, if you get from Amazon.in I think that they will send you a replacement for such an issue. If you bought from local resellers, I'm afraid that we can't do anything about it.
@@FIFINE I bought it from Amazon but it's been more than a year. I started getting those noise after 7 days and I couldn't return as the replacement warranty on amazon is just 7 days. Since than the mic is making my life hell. I have a channel superhero geeks on RUclips and want a solution for this... I have registered for warranty on the website as well
@@cricketmachine5865 You bought from Amazon because of the service, even if the return window expired, you should have contacted the Amazon reseller at that point. You can try contacting the seller now to see if they have any solution provided for you. That's the only fix, because there's no way for us to ship to India.
I see you're still reacting to comments so I hope this reaches you. I have the volume nob on my device set to about 9 o' clock and the internal volume set all the way up to 100% but still the sound I''m getting from it is very low which requires me to boost it in post (which doesn't do a lot for the audio quality). How can I change this?
Hi Bilbosmile, sorry for the late reply. We thought that your comment was replied but it turned out to be not. Please run a test on OSB or Audacity or any software that has a level meter. Speak to the mic within 5 inches with the setting you mentioned above, see in which range the meter moves around. If it's between -12dB, then loudness is pretty fine. You may have to look at the output devices and settings.
Um, we haven't had test on pop filter, so I'm afraid that we can't give you suggestion on any specific brand. But it would be good to use U-shape pop filter, you just need to pop it on to the mic instead of finding a suitable position to clamp the pop filter. The price is around $8, just get one with more reviews and better rating. And you can speak to the mic from off-axis direction, plus the pop filter, you can better avoid any pop sound and better protect the mic.
Hey my computer has really loud fan noises, if i record using this, what do you recommend I should do, noise reduction? Sorry I'm not experiencewith mics
Hi there, then it's not quite likely that you're going to get super clean sound because the fan noise is similar to frequency range of human voice and because it's inevitably close to mic. But to reduce noise to as low level as possible, you could consider a setup of dynamic mic(known for its low sensitive) plus an audio interface (in order to connect mic with computer) for around $70, such as our K6 and Behringer UM2 (the lowest priced USB interface). It's the available setup for low noise recording in a noisy environment.
get voicemod and there is a thing where you can reduce background noise and it makes the mic sound like a high end mic you dont have to use the voice changers as well
Hi there, which model did you use? If it's noticeable crackling sound even when all the setting were kept below 50%, it's likely to the component issue. Could you send us the recording audio with you speak and you are silent to sales4suncon@gmail.com So that we can check out if it's a microphone problem.
@@mikeo6050 Hi there, sorry about the issue. Could you tell us which model did you get and is a constant beep, or the noise happens randomly? Is it possible to record such noise down so that we can do an audio analysis?
I just ordered my first Fifine Mic (669b) as a less expensive way to get into recording music again. I can't wait till it shows up. Thank you guys for this channel and the information!
Thanks for your support. Hope the K669B will help you in the period when you are rebuilding the music career! Or perhaps just help record down the decent quality of your music sparkle. If there's any problem, feel free to contact us.
Hello Fifine bros, please I tried setting the output (my laptop speakers) to 16-bit like you said and it reduced the background noise . Thanks for that tip but I would like to find out why it did that? Isn't the output only affecting my headphones (what I hear)? Then doesn't that mean the noise is still there but I can't just pick it up on my headphones? I need to get rid of the noise completely and not just 'hide it' because I stream on youtube and other people's setting won't be like mine. Please reply.
Hi EverDream, yes, you're right. The noise is still there, but it doesn't get quite noticeable. In other words, the output setting doesn't actually reduce the noise that is already existing. What you should do is to reduce the noise before the mic picks it up. You can refer to one of our blog post about DIY a treated environment: fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-an-acoustic-treatment-on-a-budget If you think it's way too troublesome, then the only way is to make the use environment as quiet as possible and follow the setting showed in the input part to keep the dial below 60%, computer input below 70% and the speaking distance at around 5 inches.
my mic has been working fine but now all the mic does is create a very loud static noise, what should I do? by the way it’s a mic problem since I have tried it with multiple computers and the same noise appears
Sorry about the issue. Since you have tested out with different computer, the there's no need to try out differnt UB port. But if all the computers are desktop, if yes, could you try out on a laptop without the power cord plugged in? For any quick troubleshoot, please provide us with more info, the order number, model number and a MP3 file recorded by the mic with dial set at 60%, computer input 80%.
Hi there, if you're using the mic on Discord, then you can use the quick mute shortcut. If it's not about Discord, did you use the K669B? You can turn the dial all the way down to mute it. If it's not the model with a dial, then you will have to change the volume level in the sound setting.
got a 669 model with the little table-tripod and it's almost impossible to remove the mouse-clicking noise. And i cannot even use my good old stand coz the screw-size are just made for Fifine models (how about using classical screw sizes and or to put some adapter into the box right away... ? we're in 2022 guys...) Overall the sound quality is good (on obs when using filters) but the mic is absorbing All noise all around it (even if the mouse is behind it capt every single clicks) I tried every stuff here but nothing makes it better. I'm gonna return mine and look for some other gaming and tabletop solution
The condenser mic is very sensitive, use it with the boom arm can help reduce the noise. If background noise is a big concern for you, we suggest a dynamic mic to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hi there, you would also have to look at the computer input level. And most importantly the speaking range, please talk to the mic just slightly off-axis at around 5 inches. And the keyboard and mouse is placed too close to the mic, even with a scissors arm stand, you still cannot get rid of all those noises.
It depends on your main use. If there's no necessary need for a low-latency jack for recording monitoring, the K669B would works just fine. The difference is about the tone, in which K670 has much more bass presenting while keeps the same sort of clarity. But it's for vocal, you will do post-production anyway, then the tone difference is not quite important. Especially when you're in budget, K669B is a good choice.
The microphone in the video doesn't sound very good.. my FiFine's microphone quality is not very great, it's the T669 though. It picks up a lot of my headphone's audio... i use nvidia broadcast to noise cancel too because it picks up far too much background noise but even that's not enough.. if i can't find a solution i might just have to return it unfortunately along with my headphones that i got that might not even be returnable though.
Hi Katie, we're sorry about this issue. First of all, the output volume should be turned down. According to your description, the headphone sounds like a speaker, it should have not leaked so much audio. Then it's about the background sound, and we're sorry but it's also the reason of the volume, but input level this time. The volume dial should be turned below 50%, while the computer should be around 80% and then keep talking range around 5 inches. If you still think the sound quality is still not acceptable, then we're running out of ways as well. What we can do is recommend a dynamic microphone plus an audio interface. Just don't get a condenser mic if the background sound is your main concern.
Haha, or you can spend a little time on setting up a treated room with just used blanket. Though if your room is hot, then this free method won't work in Summer time lol. But you can still spending a bit more buying the thinner one online without hearting your use environment so much. fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-an-acoustic-treatment-on-a-budget
Turning the mic's back to noise source didn't help at all. mic is at least 2 feet away but it still takes in keyboard and mouse clicks. even my 5$ earphone's mic performs a little better than this 50$ mic kit
Hi Dev, sorry about your poor use experience, but we have after-sales support at your service, you can contact us at web@fifine.cc with your order. The support team will take care of your case to make your mic perform as a $50 mic does. But in terms of background sound, it's not a fair competition between a standalone mic and the earphone one, especially there's a chance that the mic is defective. Because the latter is much closer to your mouth and its capsule is much small to make it be able to pick up more sound. Even if the standalone mic captures a bit more background noise, but the overall noise floor won't be as bad as the earmic, unless the desktop mic was turned all the way up. And besides, if you don't want a little bit of background noise, the mic you should get is a dynamic model, you can try out the FIFINE K658 instead. Anyway, a functional T669 won't be worse than the earphone's mic. But if unfortunately, that's your case, please contact us with your order number. We will help out.
Hi Brandon, we're sorry about this poor use experience. Is it possibly due to the QC issue? Because speaking from the capsule size alone, there's no way a $3 capsule quality can beat a $30 one's. If you could be bothered, do you mind letting us know what's the problem of your FIFINE mic? But first of all, could you let us know if it's the exact same K669B that you got?
Yes, with post-production any mic can get much better sound quality. But it's still better to get the best out of the raw audio so that you can spend less time on editing and make the audio sound more natural.
Hi Ishaan, for keyboard noise, the only way is to reduce it. A condenser mic will inevitably and noticeably pick up those sounds. Please get the mic further away from the keyboard as possible, then turn down the sound level on both the mic and the computer input to below 60%. If it doesn't help, get an arm stand as the video suggested. But to be honest, that may not give you a great improvement. If you're so concerned about background noise, what you really should do is to choose the correct one in the first place. The dynamic mics are highly recommended.
Hi Akash, it depends on various kind of factors. But the crucial one is that if your use environment is not so quiet, it's better to look at the one with bundle such as this T669. And here's a vocal cover video using T669 for your reference: ruclips.net/video/bdPKRIC47g4/видео.html
Hi there, that would be the output device play both the mic audio and computer sound. Is it the K669B model you use? If so, It's easy to disable this so-call monitoring feature on Windows computer, but the most weird thing is why it's open in your case, this feature should be set to be disable. Anyway, just right click the speaker icon on the right hand side of computer, choose "Recording Devices", right click "USB PnP Audio Device", select "Properties" and "Listen", at last just make sure "Listen to this device" is unchecked. Then the system output should not repeat the microphone sound. If it doesn't work let us know what streaming software you're using. But I didn't see there's monitoring feature on Discord, so above method should just make the fix.
I don't get the pricing of this mic as of now. Is the price increased only during the pandemic? it was $30 before and now It's around $40? Anyways it's still a great mic nonetheless but I don't see the point at the increased price.
Hi Sean, we we beg you or anyone who are dissatisfied with the current pricing pardon. Because of the situation, there's terrifying increase in shipping fee. On the contrast, shipping is getting slower and slower. Therefore the inventory is never enough for supply. But there're similar rules on every platform wherer we sell, such as Amazon and AliExpress, if the product has gone out of stock for sometimes, it will get less and less traffic. That means dropping ranking of the product. So we have to keep product in sale and price increasing seems like the only viable way. But anyway, it may sound like our wording for insane product price. But if you're not in need of a mic or any product urgently, maybe you could wait till the issue dies down, then the price will go back to normal. You're good to make the purchase by the time.
@@FIFINE Thanks for the heads up! I think i will keep mine as the price difference is considered appropriate. Otherwise this pandemic won't "die down" not at least around this time. God bless us all 🙏
Hi Chenznie, if it's not about the voice-over video or you use a webcam to record your video, we're afraid that there's no way to use this mic at the same time. Because you can't hook this mic up with your camera. If you use a camera and want the video and the audio done at the same time, then you need a camera microphone instead of the PC mics.
Yes, you can. But the adapter quality varies, there's a possibility that you may need to test out a few to get one that actually works. So if you main purpose is to get a mobile mic, we don't recommend this one, but the one that's built for phones in the first place.
Hi there, pretty sorry about the issue, would you like to contact FIFINE after-sales support at *web@**fifine.cc* with an video to demo the problem and order number. So that we can do a quick troubleshoot to help fix it.
@@fallxn9528 It should work, because it's a Samsung smartphone. But we cant be 100% sure, since the released date of J7 is one year earlier than the S7 which we have known for sure it works with an external input device.
@@fallxn9528 Sorry, we still cant be sure of this question either. We tested the mic with Bandlabs on PC and it works fine. But if it's on mobile, it may be a different case.
Question: if the mic is exposed to loud sounds, will it break? I accidentally played a loud sound into my mic from my speaker and it has gone very bass boosted every since. Is there a fix?
Hi Sasha, part of this video is about the background sound rejection, so please check out this video. It's a sensitive condenser microphone, so it's inevitable subject to those noises you mentioned. The only solution is to reduce the effect but no way to get rid of it, unless you use the RTX voice but which requires RTX graphic card to work. In order to reduce the mouse and keyboard sound, get the mic close up to your mouth while it's back toward the keyboard, turn down the volume of the mic to below 60%, and speak to the mic within 3 inches. To go further is to use the mic with an arm stand. But the best solution is to use a dynamic mic such as the FIFINE K658 or K651 in the first place if you're quite concerned about the background sound.
just got mine few days ago, its sound pretty cool. Just wondering anyway to use Headphone connected to microphone by any usb adpater, does anyone knows way around it or any adapter to use with headphone
Hi Bola, sorry about the issue you have. This model doesn't have headphone jack and the only available is to use computer's one. But yes, then you have to rely on computer sound card to do the output conversion, and that means the delay is quite noticeable. But sorry, I'm afraid that there's no solution to this problem.
why not max out the gain on the microphone? as long as you hear no clipping.... the sound interface is only 16bit, so low level signals will be badly digitized
Hi Chinh, if you don't hear any noise when turning the microphone volume all the way down, that means the noise is mainly from the microphone itself. Have you followed the other steps in the video to set a decent volume level? And which model did you get?
Hi Soffan, yes, it's built to be 16 bit and 48k Hz. If it's about the compatibility with software, you can just use ASIO4ALL to change the bit rate and sample rate.
I have some issues with my k669b. It works fine in windows and video games but when i play racing games my voice is robotic and my teammate can't hear me. In the menu of the game the mic works fine but at the moment that i want to run the mic doesn't work normally. I m very disappointed
i got the mic and the background noise was bugging me even with a filter i had it on 100% on the windows sound but i changed it to 50% and made the volume on the nob higher it made a huge difference almost 0 background noise
Hi Saz, sorry about this issue, but to troubleshoot it, we need more info. Please provide the order number and a one-minute audio file with you talking for 30 seconds and getting silent for another 30 seconds, before the recording please set the mic dial at 60% and computer input at 80% and the speaking range at around 5 inches, and in the audio recording. You can comment back the order number here and include the wetransfer link of the audio file.
And what you described should not happen on a normal K669B, because there should not be a threshold thing on the level set when you get volume below it, the mic performs fine but when you crank up the volume to go pass it, the background noise suddenly appears.
hey, i do not have the b model, only the k669, i have noticed something, if i put my volume to 0%, i can still hear the static noise, i have plugged my usb cable to the other slot, same problem, any help?
Hi RainbowIsRainbow, have you tested out with different output devices? Using your headphone, the internal speaker of your computer and a Bluetooth speaker/headphone?
I got my mic like a month ago and have boom arm and everything. Background noise and mechanical keyboard sound it picks up alot i have tried every filters and played around with the sound settings but can't get rid of the keyboard sound. Can you help me out
Hi there, keyboard and mouse are too close to the mic, it's inevitable to pick up those sound. What you can do is only to reduce it. No sure the exact setting you have adjusted. But you can try with ours: dial at 60%, computer input 80% and keep speaking range at 5 inches. Distance is quite important. Since even with the arm, you still cant get noise source pretty far away from the mic. So it's better to get it closer to sound source to let the main audio cover some amount of noise. Keyboard or mouse sound is the biggest problem for streaming. Even you use the recommended setup of dynamic mic such as our K6 plus an audio interface such as Behringer UM2. It's still not way to cancel out all the noise. The best way is not to use mechanical keyboard lol.
my mic isnt working at all. i got it a few months ago and never carried it with me and now the sound for it is barely there. you literally cant hear a thing. none of these helped me.
Just in case anyone is on Linux and facing this problem, open /etc/pulse/default.pa file and add the below two statements -
load-module module-echo-cancel aec_args="noise_suppression=1" source_name=echoCancel_source
set-default-source echoCancel_source
Save and close the file. Reboot. That's it.
Thanks for sharing the insight! It definitely helps many Linux users out there.🙌🙌🙌
@@FIFINE Welcome. Glad to help.

Haha, that's not enough. And you need a special room for them or something to keep them occupied when you're doing recording or streaming.
@@FIFINE This made me laugh.

I like how they said "a bit expensive" for a 15 dollar arm stand. That's on the cheaper end, but I actually do like that they are aware that most people buying this mic are doing it on a budget, so a 15 dollar accessory can be out of range for some people.
Thank you for the support😇

Hi ґеніяльний цинамон, do you mind giving us more details about your mic, and which model it is? Where did you get it? And did such an issue happen when you use the mic for the first time?
Thank you so much, it works 🙏🏻
I'm glad your problem has been solved, I hope the K669B can serve you all the time;
every time connect my mic to pc it says the USB is not recognized what to do kindly tell.
I’ve had it for a while and was disappointed, whenever I play with people they say it sounds like im in a tunnel or that it’s load. I keep it a fair distance from my mouth and even on the lowest audio settings I get the same feedback. I will try this stuff later
Hi there, sorry about the issue. But the problem you have sounds like it's about setting and placement. You may think it's our defense but K669B is not toned to be a warm mic. Therefore the level, range and environment are more crucial when it comes to echo sound.
It's chiche to tell you to set dial at around 60%, computer input at around 80% and more importantly keep speaking range at around 3-5 inches.
What's more and more efficient is to do with the environment, if moving furniture behind and around to a closer range to you is not possible. It's for breaking down the sound, so that there's less of them will be bounced back. And a more direct way, if you can be bother, is to setup a treated room by using moving blanket.

This might be a bit late but my windows keeps auto adjusting my microphone level in control panel is there a fix?
Hi Matthew, sorry for the late reply. Please check out one of our blog posts below to do the troubleshooting.
fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/fix-of-microphone-control-adjusting-itself
What is the boom arm you used?
Hi NeonHero, it's just the normal arm stand that you can find on Amazon.
I just got this mic, and whenever I have the volume completely turned off, in both settings and on the knob, there's just a quiet static. And as soon as I bump up the audio a tad bit that static becomes noticeably louder and you can hear it over my voice no matter how close I am to the mic, how loud the volume is set to etc. also I'm on a MacBook. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi NoahSham, thanks for sending us a detailed description of the product. Um, have you tried recording down the audio with the mic, but playing back the recording with different output, such as an internal speaker, headphone and Bluetooth connected speaker or headphone?
It's quite weird. When you turned the mic all the way down, then it should not be picking up any sound at all.
I put my mic volume to 60% and that seems to work
I ordered my microphone a few months ago with no issues, atleast that’s what I thought, my friends said my mic sounded kind of muffled but I just thought they were being nit picky since the audio I’ve seen from RUclips reviews sounded great, but when I actually recorded a clip of audio recently and listened to it, my mic audio sounds VERY muffled and I even got a noise gate to see if that would somewhat make a the audio a little better but it’s not noticeably different, since I got it months ago I can’t return it so I’m a little disappointed but to be fair the mic was $30
Hi there, sorry about the issue. But noise do little about the clarity, on the opposite, only if a mic is so sensitive that it pick up a bit more noise. And that should be seen in the recording of K669B. So it's kind of werid in your case that K669B being muffled. But we can help fix it. And since you have recorded the file, which should make the trouble-shooting much faster, you can send us the MP3 recording to our support email: web@fifinemicrophone.com with your order number. So that we can do a thorough audio analyse to find out the issue.
bro i dont even have this mic and it helped me out i was gonna buy this mic to i shoulda
No problem. Good to know it helps. Haha, it's applied to any USB microphones even some USB devices.
What kind of mic Stand would be good with this microphone?
Hi there, any standard arm stand that comes with 3/8" to 5/8" adapter will work fine with the K669B
All this issue can be solved. If Fifine developer a decent Software for noise cancellation compatible with the USB Mic. Like ANY other Mic developer/manufacture.
No problem, we will look into that aspect. But actually, you can use the mighty RTX Voice instead, all the noise problems will be solved and the sound quality remains if the settings are decent. Below is one of our blogs for your reference or you can search for the related content on RUclips.

i try to make music but when i hit louder notes it makes a chirp in static
Hi Logans, how loud is the note that you made, did you check up the level meter to see what decibel the meter hit?
Just wondering if i could used the mic with other software like obs,xsplit,or other recording software.cuz i was bit skeptical since my last mic i bought doesn't wrk with the software!!!!
Yes, this K669B will work perfectly fine with those software you mentioned. I think the problem of your last mic is that it's not even recognized by your computer in the first place.
Mine is bc my PS4 is like a jet so I’m looking for directional low price mics
Hi there, um, I'm afraid that in such as none of condenser mic will work petty well. Maybe you can consider lapel mic or dynamic microphone. But even those types will still pick up some of the background sound.
Is a thronmax mdrill one good because I’m trying to do videos on my channel but my PS4 is loud and the thronmax will either not pick it up or have it a silent background and has different options on were it picks it up so is that a good option btw I have your fifine mic
@@Dra5k Um, sorry, we haven't had a chance to do a thorough test on any model of this brand. But we don't think there's noticeable differece on the aspect regarding to the noise rejection, since it's still a USB condenser microphone.
I might wont get a reply but here goes.
I have the T669 version of this microphone and i'm wondering what the correct way is to set up the levels.
Do i increase the hardware gain (knob on the microphone) first and windows levels after or the reverse?
Currently the knob is on 20-25% and in windows on 90% and i have a lot of noise from my keyboard and mouse.
Is this a misconfiguration on my part? or just how the mic is and i need to get it even further from my keyboard and mouse?
It is currently on the boom arm it comes with about 3-4 inches from my mouth and at least double that from my keyboard and mouse.
I dont have a mechanical keyboard either. Just trying to learn what the correct way is to set up this microphone.
Hi there, you setup the mic without a problem. What's behind the noise is that the keyboard and mouse are still too close to the mic and the noise from those device is in the similar frequency range of human voice.
Thus, even you can use software like OBS noise gate or Reaper plugin to eliminate some of those noise when you're silent. But it will become noticeable when you start to talk.
Leave alone a sensitive condenser mic as T669 is, even for a dynamic mic, you're still going to hear quite some noise.
What you can do is to try to use some plugin, software control (shown in the video below) and put those noise source as far away from you as possible.

FIFINE MICROPHONE Thank you so much. I really appreciate the reply and the information!
After playing around a bit i can definitely tell that indeed the mic is very sensitive and there is not much more i can do to get rid of the mouseclicks/keyboard noises but it is at an acceptable level now.
Only thing i'm still really confused on is what order i should follow to set my levels correctly?
Should i first adjust the knob on the mic itself and then do some adjustments after with the windows slider OR should i just put the windows slider at 100 and slowly adjust the knob on the mic after that?
I'm really not sure what the optimal way is to go about this process unfortunately and i feel not knowing this is holding me back from maybe fixing my levels and potentially my noise issues some more.
Again, thank you soo much for the help here!
@@WvLeegoard Hi there, it's better to start with the dial setting first, keep it at around 50% and start to adjust the Windows input from there. You can click open an recording software like Audacity to have level meter for gauge. Having meter move around -16 dB to -12 dB would be a pretty good setting for voice (leave alone the keyboard or mouse noise since no matter how they just cannot be eliminated).
@@FIFINE AWESOME!
Really much appreciate the support you guys offer! Don't see that very often so i am pleasantly surprised.
I've played around with it some more, also utilising Adaucity like you mentioned and i've found a great set up now for my environment.
Like you say, the background noise can't really be eliminated without the use of software but i've gotten it to an acceptable level for sure.
Thank you again for all the help!
how to solution delay on mic this
Hi there, the only way to reduce delay is to lower the input and output volume.
But you cannot get rid of it. Because the microphone audio needs to be processed and converted in your computer sound card, the delay is inevitable. We're afraid that it's not the delay of this mic, but it's not supposed to be used to for monitoring. You should have the mic with low-latency monitoring jack such as the K678 or K690.
Can i get a link for the boom arm
Hi KadoDaGod, any standard arm stand would work, you can look for the ones with the highest-ranking or the most reviews. I'm afraid that we can't send you any link for a budget arm stand because those who are selling the $12-$15 are our microphone competitors.
Is t669 and k669b the same??
Hi Niten, yes, the different is just the color.
How do u stop echoing???
Hi JoshPlayz, just need to turn off the monitoring feature. For gaming, there's no need for hearing yourself. For recording, it's a mic without a low latency headphone jack, so you have to rely on the computer sound, then the delay is inevitable. So either situation, the best practice is to turn off monitoring.
Even at 0 I have static noises so I have to use Nvidia's Broadcast app
Hi my Fifine T669 has been great, however today I noticed in some of my game clips I had a static noise sound in the background, quickly narrowed it down to my mic, i'm not sure why its started, its been muted with the volume knob and I havent used it for around a week, and ive never usually heard this before and have had it for well over a year now, it only goes away when I completely unplug it from the computer or disable the microphone in the recording tab
Hi Herb, sorry about this issue. But since it's about the noises, we can't confirm what may go wrong without getting the audio file. Do you mind sending a one-minute audio file with the order number to our support email at web@fifine.cc? And please set the dial of your T699 at 60%-80% and computer input at 80%-90% and keep the speaking range within 5 inches, and then record 30 seconds of you talking and another 30 seconds of you getting silent.
hello. I have your T669 microphone and I have a serious hissing sound in the background. even if I decreased the gain on microphone and also output volume of the laptop problem is not solved. do you have any suggestions ? Also can you suggest an app to use the microphone on Android ? I managed to connect it to my Android phone but hissing sound is still there , how can I remove this sound totally in Android ?
Hi Seçkin Güvenç, we're sorry about this issue. But I'm not sure if you mean that the T669 was used with a computer in the first part of your comment? If yes, did you connect the mic to your computer with a hub? Try connecting directly without using an adapter or hub. If the hissing still exists, see if it's possible to test the mic out on another computer. Just find out if it's the problem of the mic itself or not, before using it with Android. Because it's a PC microphone after all, the main purpose of it is to use with computers then the mobiles.
@@FIFINE I have the same problem as Seçkin Güvenç, i have pluged the usb in the laptop usb port and the hissing still happens, when i try it on my friends laptops it doesn"t even make a sound. I"ve wrote, in full detale my issue in the comments,( Use the filter and typw my username to find it!).
Wait so you talk through the back of it? Like have the volume switch on the other side of you?
Hi Kayla, um, sorry for the confusion, but the side with the volume dial is front. So yes, you have to talk to the knob side.
what ever i do there is a wind sound even with no mic plugged
Hi Kaunissaar, that would be the problem of the output device or setting instead of the input. Please try changing the different output to test out.

Why is it that the gain on my microphone isn't that high, even with the dial set to max and with the mic set to +35db?
Hi GreatWhale64, you could test the mic on software that has a level meter. With the dial and the software input set to the max, and speak to the mic within 5 inches to see in which range the meter moves around. If it goes over -12dB, then your voice is pretty loud in actual use.

i loved this because i can adjust it to earrape
Hi Other Nerd, um yes, the dial is pretty handy, you can use it to get clipping sound any time you want.
Some of these pointers are quite useful. My volume was turned down way to low. I had mine on 25% and so where I was enhancing my audio to much i was getting a ton of background noise. I set my windows volume to around 90% and then the mic audio to around 60%-70% and i get quite a good sound. Hope this helps people

Hi Tim, glad that it helps! The K669B is pretty sensitive, you really have to get the input level decent to have the best quality out of the mic. Hope you can enjoy using the K669B then!

Hi chrono_network, sorry for catching sight of your comment late. Thank you very much for sharing your troubleshooting experience. That's true, the volume control is quite important for the sound quality.
@@FIFINE You're welcome, and that's fine. VoiceMod's Clean effect did also fix it right on top of the adjusted settings, thus making my voice sound more clearer and mitigating about 95-98% of the background noise when that software is running.
wow! i was almost sending the microphone back to amazon for bad quality. i thought the less you turn the regulator ON the mic the better the sound quality. i was completely wrong - set it up to 80-90% and just change the "level" settings on windows to 50-60 - after that all the background noise is fucking gone!
That's weird, it should be the lower level the better noise rejection. But anyway, thanks for sharing your troubleshooting method, which may help other users who may have the same issue.

@@cricketmachine5865 You bought from Amazon because of the service, even if the return window expired, you should have contacted the Amazon reseller at that point. You can try contacting the seller now to see if they have any solution provided for you. That's the only fix, because there's no way for us to ship to India.
Just use OBS and set up a noise gate in OBS on the mic. I have 3 of these mic's and never have a noise problem.
Thanks for offering another suggestion!
@@FIFINE All of the things you show in the video are known to make noise in USB mic's Great video by the way.
How did you set up noise gate in OBS please?
Really? Never tried that...thanks for the heads up!
@@bolavaughn2903 Click on the pinwheel next to the mute for the mic. Go into filters and set it up from there.
Thanks for the great video! I am still getting the static noise even if I set the mic knob level to zero gain. Please advise how to fix this.
I see you're still reacting to comments so I hope this reaches you. I have the volume nob on my device set to about 9 o' clock and the internal volume set all the way up to 100% but still the sound I''m getting from it is very low which requires me to boost it in post (which doesn't do a lot for the audio quality). How can I change this?
Hi Bilbosmile, sorry for the late reply. We thought that your comment was replied but it turned out to be not. Please run a test on OSB or Audacity or any software that has a level meter. Speak to the mic within 5 inches with the setting you mentioned above, see in which range the meter moves around. If it's between -12dB, then loudness is pretty fine. You may have to look at the output devices and settings.
Is there any pop filter under $10 that you guys would recommend? Also thanks for making a really good mic :D
Um, we haven't had test on pop filter, so I'm afraid that we can't give you suggestion on any specific brand. But it would be good to use U-shape pop filter, you just need to pop it on to the mic instead of finding a suitable position to clamp the pop filter. The price is around $8, just get one with more reviews and better rating. And you can speak to the mic from off-axis direction, plus the pop filter, you can better avoid any pop sound and better protect the mic.
Peyou pop filter
Tree new bee, it comes with boom arm and pop filter for 13 dollars
Hey my computer has really loud fan noises, if i record using this, what do you recommend I should do, noise reduction? Sorry I'm not experiencewith mics
Hi there, then it's not quite likely that you're going to get super clean sound because the fan noise is similar to frequency range of human voice and because it's inevitably close to mic. But to reduce noise to as low level as possible, you could consider a setup of dynamic mic(known for its low sensitive) plus an audio interface (in order to connect mic with computer) for around $70, such as our K6 and Behringer UM2 (the lowest priced USB interface). It's the available setup for low noise recording in a noisy environment.
get voicemod and there is a thing where you can reduce background noise and it makes the mic sound like a high end mic you dont have to use the voice changers as well
I bought this mic and hook it up to a linux system. It works really good
🙏Thanks for sharing your use experience on Linux!

Hi there, which model did you use? If it's noticeable crackling sound even when all the setting were kept below 50%, it's likely to the component issue. Could you send us the recording audio with you speak and you are silent to sales4suncon@gmail.com So that we can check out if it's a microphone problem.

@@mikeo6050 Hi there, sorry about the issue. Could you tell us which model did you get and is a constant beep, or the noise happens randomly? Is it possible to record such noise down so that we can do an audio analysis?
@@FIFINE thanks for the support but I just messed with some microphone settings and fixed it
@@mikeo6050 Thanks for the update. GOOD to know that you have got it fixed by yourself. Great job!
I just ordered my first Fifine Mic (669b) as a less expensive way to get into recording music again. I can't wait till it shows up. Thank you guys for this channel and the information!
Thanks for your support. Hope the K669B will help you in the period when you are rebuilding the music career! Or perhaps just help record down the decent quality of your music sparkle. If there's any problem, feel free to contact us.
Hello Fifine bros, please I tried setting the output (my laptop speakers) to 16-bit like you said and it reduced the background noise . Thanks for that tip but I would like to find out why it did that? Isn't the output only affecting my headphones (what I hear)? Then doesn't that mean the noise is still there but I can't just pick it up on my headphones? I need to get rid of the noise completely and not just 'hide it' because I stream on youtube and other people's setting won't be like mine. Please reply.
Hi EverDream, yes, you're right. The noise is still there, but it doesn't get quite noticeable. In other words, the output setting doesn't actually reduce the noise that is already existing. What you should do is to reduce the noise before the mic picks it up.
You can refer to one of our blog post about DIY a treated environment: fifinemicrophone.com/blogs/news/how-to-make-an-acoustic-treatment-on-a-budget If you think it's way too troublesome, then the only way is to make the use environment as quiet as possible and follow the setting showed in the input part to keep the dial below 60%, computer input below 70% and the speaking distance at around 5 inches.
my mic has been working fine but now all the mic does is create a very loud static noise, what should I do? by the way it’s a mic problem since I have tried it with multiple computers and the same noise appears
Sorry about the issue. Since you have tested out with different computer, the there's no need to try out differnt UB port. But if all the computers are desktop, if yes, could you try out on a laptop without the power cord plugged in?
For any quick troubleshoot, please provide us with more info, the order number, model number and a MP3 file recorded by the mic with dial set at 60%, computer input 80%.
What is the name of the arm I need one
Hi Tobal, just the standard arm stand or boom arm stand or scissor arm stand that you can search online.
U can also disable all recording devices but the FIFINE mic, worked for me
Thanks for sharing your tips!
FIFINE MICROPHONE no problem :)
how do i mute the microphone?
Hi there, if you're using the mic on Discord, then you can use the quick mute shortcut. If it's not about Discord, did you use the K669B? You can turn the dial all the way down to mute it. If it's not the model with a dial, then you will have to change the volume level in the sound setting.
@@FIFINE okay
got a 669 model with the little table-tripod and it's almost impossible to remove the mouse-clicking noise.
And i cannot even use my good old stand coz the screw-size are just made for Fifine models (how about using classical screw sizes and or to put some adapter into the box right away... ? we're in 2022 guys...)
Overall the sound quality is good (on obs when using filters) but the mic is absorbing All noise all around it (even if the mouse is behind it capt every single clicks)
I tried every stuff here but nothing makes it better.
I'm gonna return mine and look for some other gaming and tabletop solution
The condenser mic is very sensitive, use it with the boom arm can help reduce the noise.
If background noise is a big concern for you, we suggest a dynamic mic to you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Everything gets in even dogs outside or keyboard/mouse clicking. I have it turned down to 10% and still
Hi there, you would also have to look at the computer input level. And most importantly the speaking range, please talk to the mic just slightly off-axis at around 5 inches. And the keyboard and mouse is placed too close to the mic, even with a scissors arm stand, you still cannot get rid of all those noises.
which mic is better for music vocals recording? k669b or k670?
It depends on your main use. If there's no necessary need for a low-latency jack for recording monitoring, the K669B would works just fine. The difference is about the tone, in which K670 has much more bass presenting while keeps the same sort of clarity. But it's for vocal, you will do post-production anyway, then the tone difference is not quite important. Especially when you're in budget, K669B is a good choice.
The microphone in the video doesn't sound very good.. my FiFine's microphone quality is not very great, it's the T669 though. It picks up a lot of my headphone's audio... i use nvidia broadcast to noise cancel too because it picks up far too much background noise but even that's not enough.. if i can't find a solution i might just have to return it unfortunately along with my headphones that i got that might not even be returnable though.
Hi Katie, we're sorry about this issue. First of all, the output volume should be turned down. According to your description, the headphone sounds like a speaker, it should have not leaked so much audio. Then it's about the background sound, and we're sorry but it's also the reason of the volume, but input level this time. The volume dial should be turned below 50%, while the computer should be around 80% and then keep talking range around 5 inches. If you still think the sound quality is still not acceptable, then we're running out of ways as well. What we can do is recommend a dynamic microphone plus an audio interface. Just don't get a condenser mic if the background sound is your main concern.
i'm just gonna record voiceovers at 3 am lol
Haha, or you can spend a little time on setting up a treated room with just used blanket. Though if your room is hot, then this free method won't work in Summer time lol. But you can still spending a bit more buying the thinner one online without hearting your use environment so much.

the placement of the arm makes me want to play Sudoku
Lol, OK.
Turning the mic's back to noise source didn't help at all. mic is at least 2 feet away but it still takes in keyboard and mouse clicks. even my 5$ earphone's mic performs a little better than this 50$ mic kit
Hi Dev, sorry about your poor use experience, but we have after-sales support at your service, you can contact us at web@fifine.cc with your order. The support team will take care of your case to make your mic perform as a $50 mic does. But in terms of background sound, it's not a fair competition between a standalone mic and the earphone one, especially there's a chance that the mic is defective. Because the latter is much closer to your mouth and its capsule is much small to make it be able to pick up more sound. Even if the standalone mic captures a bit more background noise, but the overall noise floor won't be as bad as the earmic, unless the desktop mic was turned all the way up. And besides, if you don't want a little bit of background noise, the mic you should get is a dynamic model, you can try out the FIFINE K658 instead.
Anyway, a functional T669 won't be worse than the earphone's mic. But if unfortunately, that's your case, please contact us with your order number. We will help out.
Didn't help. My moana mic that goes into the audio jack is 1/10th the cost but sounds much better. I regret buying this
Hi Brandon, we're sorry about this poor use experience. Is it possibly due to the QC issue? Because speaking from the capsule size alone, there's no way a $3 capsule quality can beat a $30 one's. If you could be bothered, do you mind letting us know what's the problem of your FIFINE mic? But first of all, could you let us know if it's the exact same K669B that you got?
Also another way is when you record go on RUclips and search up how to get rid of background noise on the editing program you use
Yes, with post-production any mic can get much better sound quality. But it's still better to get the best out of the raw audio so that you can spend less time on editing and make the audio sound more natural.
I am having issues because of keyboard noise. Rest all is good. Please help
Hi Ishaan, for keyboard noise, the only way is to reduce it. A condenser mic will inevitably and noticeably pick up those sounds. Please get the mic further away from the keyboard as possible, then turn down the sound level on both the mic and the computer input to below 60%. If it doesn't help, get an arm stand as the video suggested. But to be honest, that may not give you a great improvement. If you're so concerned about background noise, what you really should do is to choose the correct one in the first place. The dynamic mics are highly recommended.
Would you recommend the T669 for singing purposes or is there another model better suited?
Hi Akash, it depends on various kind of factors. But the crucial one is that if your use environment is not so quiet, it's better to look at the one with bundle such as this T669.
And here's a vocal cover video using T669 for your reference: ruclips.net/video/bdPKRIC47g4/видео.html
on 0:55 can someone tell me what he pressed because the captions cover it and i couldn't see it
I think it says “Sounds”
Mine still picks up my fans in the background, setting the volume in windows and on the mic itself doesn't help
Hi JT, the exact level of your Windows input and the microphone gain? As well as your speaking distance?

#FIFINEMICROPHONE My microphone keeps repeating what I say when I stream. How do I fix this?
Hi there, that would be the output device play both the mic audio and computer sound.
Is it the K669B model you use? If so, It's easy to disable this so-call monitoring feature on Windows computer, but the most weird thing is why it's open in your case, this feature should be set to be disable. Anyway, just right click the speaker icon on the right hand side of computer, choose "Recording Devices", right click "USB PnP Audio Device", select "Properties" and "Listen", at last just make sure "Listen to this device" is unchecked. Then the system output should not repeat the microphone sound.
If it doesn't work let us know what streaming software you're using. But I didn't see there's monitoring feature on Discord, so above method should just make the fix.
I don't get the pricing of this mic as of now. Is the price increased only during the pandemic? it was $30 before and now It's around $40? Anyways it's still a great mic nonetheless but I don't see the point at the increased price.
Hi Sean, we we beg you or anyone who are dissatisfied with the current pricing pardon. Because of the situation, there's terrifying increase in shipping fee. On the contrast, shipping is getting slower and slower. Therefore the inventory is never enough for supply. But there're similar rules on every platform wherer we sell, such as Amazon and AliExpress, if the product has gone out of stock for sometimes, it will get less and less traffic. That means dropping ranking of the product. So we have to keep product in sale and price increasing seems like the only viable way.
But anyway, it may sound like our wording for insane product price. But if you're not in need of a mic or any product urgently, maybe you could wait till the issue dies down, then the price will go back to normal. You're good to make the purchase by the time.
@@FIFINE Thanks for the heads up! I think i will keep mine as the price difference is considered appropriate. Otherwise this pandemic won't "die down" not at least around this time. God bless us all 🙏
I want to use the mic for a recording video, and have the audio directed right to it.. I'm having problems
]
Hi Chenznie, if it's not about the voice-over video or you use a webcam to record your video, we're afraid that there's no way to use this mic at the same time. Because you can't hook this mic up with your camera. If you use a camera and want the video and the audio done at the same time, then you need a camera microphone instead of the PC mics.
Sir,
can I use this microphone with my smartphone ??
By using OTG cable!!
Yes, you can. But the adapter quality varies, there's a possibility that you may need to test out a few to get one that actually works. So if you main purpose is to get a mobile mic, we don't recommend this one, but the one that's built for phones in the first place.

@@fallxn9528 Sorry, we still cant be sure of this question either. We tested the mic with Bandlabs on PC and it works fine. But if it's on mobile, it may be a different case.
Question: if the mic is exposed to loud sounds, will it break? I accidentally played a loud sound into my mic from my speaker and it has gone very bass boosted every since. Is there a fix?
the problem i have is just my keyboard and mouse clicks are so loud and stuff
Hi Sasha, part of this video is about the background sound rejection, so please check out this video. It's a sensitive condenser microphone, so it's inevitable subject to those noises you mentioned. The only solution is to reduce the effect but no way to get rid of it, unless you use the RTX voice but which requires RTX graphic card to work. In order to reduce the mouse and keyboard sound, get the mic close up to your mouth while it's back toward the keyboard, turn down the volume of the mic to below 60%, and speak to the mic within 3 inches. To go further is to use the mic with an arm stand. But the best solution is to use a dynamic mic such as the FIFINE K658 or K651 in the first place if you're quite concerned about the background sound.
Thank you so much this was very helpful! I use the bundle and I love it!
Thanks for sharing. Glad to know that you like the T669 USB mic bundle!
just got mine few days ago, its sound pretty cool. Just wondering anyway to use Headphone connected to microphone by any usb adpater, does anyone knows way around it or any adapter to use with headphone
Hi Bola, sorry about the issue you have. This model doesn't have headphone jack and the only available is to use computer's one. But yes, then you have to rely on computer sound card to do the output conversion, and that means the delay is quite noticeable. But sorry, I'm afraid that there's no solution to this problem.
was this whole video recorded by this microphone?
Yes, the whole video.
why not max out the gain on the microphone? as long as you hear no clipping....
the sound interface is only 16bit, so low level signals will be badly digitized
still noisy . If I can't hear any noise, it means I can't hear my voice either
Hi Chinh, if you don't hear any noise when turning the microphone volume all the way down, that means the noise is mainly from the microphone itself. Have you followed the other steps in the video to set a decent volume level? And which model did you get?
is the mic supposed to be 16-bit 48000hz quality????
Hi Soffan, yes, it's built to be 16 bit and 48k Hz. If it's about the compatibility with software, you can just use ASIO4ALL to change the bit rate and sample rate.

i got the mic and the background noise was bugging me even with a filter i had it on 100% on the windows sound but i changed it to 50% and made the volume on the nob higher it made a huge difference almost 0 background noise
Hi Saz, sorry about this issue, but to troubleshoot it, we need more info. Please provide the order number and a one-minute audio file with you talking for 30 seconds and getting silent for another 30 seconds, before the recording please set the mic dial at 60% and computer input at 80% and the speaking range at around 5 inches, and in the audio recording. You can comment back the order number here and include the wetransfer link of the audio file.
And what you described should not happen on a normal K669B, because there should not be a threshold thing on the level set when you get volume below it, the mic performs fine but when you crank up the volume to go pass it, the background noise suddenly appears.

I got my mic like a month ago and have boom arm and everything. Background noise and mechanical keyboard sound it picks up alot i have tried every filters and played around with the sound settings but can't get rid of the keyboard sound. Can you help me out
Hi there, keyboard and mouse are too close to the mic, it's inevitable to pick up those sound. What you can do is only to reduce it.
No sure the exact setting you have adjusted. But you can try with ours: dial at 60%, computer input 80% and keep speaking range at 5 inches. Distance is quite important. Since even with the arm, you still cant get noise source pretty far away from the mic. So it's better to get it closer to sound source to let the main audio cover some amount of noise.
Keyboard or mouse sound is the biggest problem for streaming. Even you use the recommended setup of dynamic mic such as our K6 plus an audio interface such as Behringer UM2. It's still not way to cancel out all the noise. The best way is not to use mechanical keyboard lol.
Also suggest to buy a new laptop to test the source of the problem.
Don't mis-read the video, testing on another computer is just a suggestion. The main point is about the methods of finding the problem.
