- This was my honest experience and a quick and dirty review of the Fifine k688 dynamic podcast microphone. It wasn't great and the Shure MV7 / MV7X was the better choice.

Good to see an honest review, I think it's a wonderful microphone for the money but it's good when people share their bad experiences with something as well. Nvidia broadcast makes every microphone sound terrible especially when there's a lot of reverb background noise, you could have a 4k dollar mic and it would sound awful in that room and probably even worse with the Nvidia noise reduction and reverb removal. I bought about $100 worth of acoustic foam which isn't great but it got rid of about 90% of the reverb but it doesn't make my microphone sound funny. Lion the wall behind you with some acoustic film or panels, put some in front of you and some directly behind you and if you got hardwood floors add some rugs, it'll cost a few hundred bucks but it will make your audio sense so much better. But I've never had a problem with OBS on a firefight microphone, I can run whatever VST plugins I want on OBS and I don't have any issues but the Nvidia thing I stay far away from that. I was highly disappointed with how bad it makes a microphone sound I mean you will sound like you're underwater or something when you turn that on but that's what happens with most things that remove reverb, removing reverb from a recording is unbelievably hard for something to do and keep the sound quality good.
Super insightful comment Danny, Thanks so much for taking the time to give great feedback!!! Yep, unfortunately no amount of sound dampening foam would fix this spaces echo, its just too big and oddly shaped, luckily, the dereverb and denoise in premier pro can handle it like a champ if i record with a good mic, and i switched to a rode videomicro 2, which sounds phenominal for the price and can be manipulated in post to sound so good!
@@YoukayTV Your welcome, i enjoyed your video, A big room is not a bad thing but a empty room is. cloth couches and chairs, rugs, carpet, beds, acoustic pannels or any soft surfaces in the room can improve the reverb a lot. the more soft surfaces the better. Actually in a small square room the reverb bounces back and forth even more. A rectangle room will be better. A big room is not a bad thing, some reverb can dissipate in a large room before getting back to the mic. but any empty room will reverb like crazy, u know a strange shaped room or a room with walls that are not parallel are the best for reverb with some stuff in it to absorb the reverb.. but any empty room without soft surfaces or without a bunch of junk of the sound wave to bounce off of and deflect it in a different direction will reverb like crazy. my room is just a bedroom with a bed, a bunch of junk in it and some cheap foam, it does somewhat descent. any ways just a little info on reverb and rooms lol.. have a great day..
Personaly i tried nvidia rtx30 variant moise reduction with this mic, it was my first time experimenting with nvidia, and bought my first dynamic mic, because condensers really sucks a$$ in room like yours or mine, voice sounds amazing, but editing audio is almost impossible... So with this fifine andn vidia noise reduction i only got bunch of extra background noise, even more than just leaving it with no noise reduction at all. But just standart obs noise reduction filter for me done wonders, no voice distortion and no noise in bacground, like i would be in a studio environment.
While this shure is superior mich i do understand, the difference in audio quality is not reflected in difference in price. If you willing to dieal with few issues using fifine, i think its really a shure killer... I mean i would Only buy shure if i would be a pro with serious podcast or infinite deep pockets just to get that extra little bit of quality i and my wievers cant hear.
I think fifine is not shure kilker in many ways, but it shure killer in other... Just the fact you can get that kind of quality for 60-70 usd, there bunch of people sho would rather buy fifine than shure... There where fifine kills shure
yea, while i think fifine is a fantastic option for budget and getting started, there are better in that price range, especially if sound quality is important. I've recently been introduced to maono stuff and its shockingly good and similarly priced!
Anyway could you make indepth tutorial and explanation how to understand and edit voice so it would sound like in joe rogan podcast, where low end is crisp and sparkling and doesn't sound like soft muddy subwoofer... I dont know the terminology but you might understand what i meant with that
absolutely potatogod, stay tuned! if your interested I've recently done a video on a new really cheap fifine style xlr interface, you should deff check that one out., it sounds absolutely better with fifine and cheaper mics, and even better with more expensive ones, has dedicated buttons for levels of noise cancelling (hardware) a good amount of preamp gain, some fun podcast/discord/streamer features, and its under $50, ruclips.net/video/h78zrOcjZBE/видео.html
