I bought this mic for PC gaming, after being sick and tired of the unreliability and overall poor quality of gaming headset mics. This mic is INCREDIBLE for it's price, everyone says my voice sounds amazing now over discord and they no longer here me breathing, or typing, or other background noise. Can't recommend this mic enough for it's price point.
Its a little misleading. Because this is just an ordinary condenser mic which will be able to hear steps in the next room. Depends on personal Setup, Room, Preferences. My short test of it yet showed exactly what others said....cheap and solid USB Mic. The Live-Monitoring-Jack is a little (noisy) garbage though (knew that beforehand)
Im using slim profile Havit/Sharkoon Mech Keyboard (Blue Switches) also clicky. Now using a shock mount and boom-arm its more flexible than the stand coming with the K670. Gain (Volume) on it is set very low and People in Discord are very pleased now. Very good sound quality for the Price. Only the monitoring headphone jack is too noisy.
For the last few weeks I've been using the Samson C02: geni.us/fYzqt I heard some great things, so I wanted to give it a try. It's pretty great for the price. Before that I was using a Studio Projects mic.
Shame you're not sponsored because I'm coping this tomorrow as soon as I wake up! I was going to get the blue snowball ice but I got scammed got my money back and then was going to get it from Best buy and it went off sale so I had to do some more mic hunting.
700 and 800 have more self noise than K670 and sound quieter. In the low end, they would sound more boomy than K670. And they use interface or phantom power setup, so it takes trials and errors to get the best sound out of them. But it's completely from a seller's point of view.
EL VERTEDERO MELGAR don’t ever buy the NW 700 or 800 worse mic ever, always get a usb mic in my opinion, I just ordered this one like an hour ago it seems so simple to setup and the sound quality is beautiful for its price.
We are going to compare the K670 with the snowball and you can make your choice. The K670 should sound as warm as the Snowball. But the biggest size of K670 capsule makes the sound appear bigger and more engaging. Therefore the sound will also be louder when the input levels of computer for both mics are set at the same. Other features of K670 is the volume dial, headphone monitoring jack and height-adjustable stand. If budget allows, I think the best solution for the moment is to purchase them both, then you keep the one which suits you more.
I don't think that would be ideal. Usually mics of this sort aren't made with handling noise in mind. Also, it's a USB connection so cabling would be an issue, and the mount isn't compatible with booming, you'd have to hack it up.
No, unless it's dropped or hit heavily. But we have also included a spare base unit in the package. Even for the worse situation that two of them are broken, you can still contact us at web@fifinemicrophone or Facebook page: facebook.com/FifineStore for the warranty service.
Sorry for catching sight of your comment late. It wouldn't work directly with XBox console. If you do need to use this mic with Xbox, you have to find an audio cable. Then plug one end into K670 headphone out, the other end into mic jack of Xbox controller adapter. While the USB of K670 would be plugged into computer or power bank to get power supply.
Yep. Not bad at all. Audibly different on my iMac speakers, to your regular mic. Could hear a bit of background hum of some description, but that seemed to be present on your main mic, too, so presumably ambient noise. Sounded fine for its intended use, and at the price seems a good starter piece of kit. Not sure what's going on with the volume knob versus the system mic settings. Seems odd that there would actually be some compression built into the mike, but as i haven't tried one out, I can't say. But a good honest assessment, it would seem.
Thanks for the comment. 😃 I don't think that it's actually a proper compressor. I think it's some kind of peak prevention that just puts a hard limiter in rather than a smooth roll-off, so the result is very harsh compression/distortion. As far as the hum you hear, that one I find peculiar. There definitely was more noise with the new mic until I removed some of it in Audition, but my main mic is like -65dB for noise, so I'm surprised you hear any noise on my main mic. Now that's adaptive noise reduction mind you, so it's possible it varies during speaking parts and silent parts, but with my headphones turned up unhealthily high, I can't really hear much noise at all. I have an AC running, which is what's causing it, but it's just too damn hot to turn it off to record. But I thought I did a pretty good job of removing it. All that being said, I agree it's not too bad at all this little mic, even if the noise is a bit worse.
@@FIFINE Got the same experience. My voice is way too low sometimes, but if I get mouth closer to the mic, it's over sensitive to 'b' and 'p'. I just don't know the ideal volume level on the mic or any other setting needed to be fixed? Fifine microphone can you help me?
@@NadiaLestari Hi Nadia, the distance is crucial to audio quality, and the mic and sound source should be in the same level. What's the range from the mic to your mouth?
Yes, picking up clear voice but with less background noise. Though it cant do a good keyboard sound rejection as headset microphone does. And if you are on a tight budget and having no requirement for recoding podcasting or voice-over, a FIFINE USB microphone K669B is also a option.
@@kingfere Haha, no worry. We reply your inquiry so that other buyers who have the same question can check out quickly. You can find this K670 on our AliExpress store, I think the delivery covers Sweden. But just offering an options, plenty of mics out there, so you can make more research before making a decision.
@@kingfere Ah, it's our pleasure to hear that. Anyway, whether you will buy the mic from us, hope you will get one that works perfectly well for your streaming.
No, and K670 will sound better. It has lower noise level and get warmer but still the same clear sound. Though as Gerald mentioned in the video, just pay a bit attention to the volume level. And setting dial at around 1/4" and computer input around 50% would be fine.
@@waterfelon33 Um, K669 would sound just well in normal use situation. Those plugin and nose gate are for gamers who are concerned about the keyboard striking or fan blowing noise. But they may not have great impact, because those noise is in rather similar frequency range of human voice. That's why we recommended that if you're really worried about the keyboard sound, a setup of a dynamic mic and an audio interface is better suited you. The main different is not about the noise reduction. For sure K670 has lower self noise so the noise level is slight better than K669. But they are still condenser mic, which is subject from less quiet environment. The different is about the tone. K669 is one of the clearest mic for sub $50 price range. K670 does the similar job, but it also give you the rich and warm sound like the Snowball does. And the other thing is about the live monitoring jack. If you mainly use the mic for gaming, I think clarity is the thing you're looking for. The warm sound or the headphone jack could not increase your gaming experience drastically. But if you also do recording sometimes, doubtlessly K670 is better choice.
@@waterfelon33 But we're the mic seller, so what we said is basically meaningless. I think it's just better to check out a bit more RUclips video before making a purchase decision.
I am not concerned about keyboard noise as I have membrane one so it isn't as loud as one of the mechanical with cherry switches. I've already watched several reviews and comparisons and from what I can tell K669 beats Snowball Ice most definitely, probably not standard Snowball as it has cardioid and omnidirect polar patterns but Ice one for sure. I'm not sure how live monitoring headphone jack could be useful as Windows already has a built-in option for that unless this is something different? Besides I hear there are some latency issues with it from other videos. Either way I've got mic stand and pop filter ready so I think K669 will be good enough for my needs which mostly consists of seperate audio recording for gameplay, a bit of noise reduction cleaning in Audacity and it should be good to go. Thanks for reply! :)

What type of keyboard do you have for sound reference? I feel like my keyboard is very clicky and would pick up and just annoy my buds in discord

My short test of it yet showed exactly what others said....cheap and solid USB Mic. The Live-Monitoring-Jack is a little (noisy) garbage though (knew that beforehand)
I use a razor chroma mechanical. Very click. You just have to do tweaking to the gain both on your PC sound controls and the mic itself
Im using slim profile Havit/Sharkoon Mech Keyboard (Blue Switches) also clicky.
Now using a shock mount and boom-arm its more flexible than the stand coming with the K670. Gain (Volume) on it is set very low and People in Discord are very pleased now. Very good sound quality for the Price. Only the monitoring headphone jack is too noisy.
wtf ? Mine could hear a fly shit in the other room, it gets every single surrounding sound in the house
Yo, I ordered this mic for my narrations because of you. Fantastic video, my dude! lol
Hope it doesn't let you down.
So, where are these narrations?
Now that's epic. (btw best mic ever for its price)
just got it for $36 on Amazon on some weird lightning sale
You sure you got this same model? Looking at the amazon price history the lowest its ever been was $40, unless what im looking at is inaccurate
@@Fvckyou123 yeah i'm sure, of course if you look at my post its a year old
@@yulog i just got mines about a week ago for 42.99 lol
i think it was like 42.99
around that
Is it possible to use an Android phone?

Can I use two microphones at the same time? I connected here on Mac and it only appears 1.
Liked and subbed! great channel!
Thanks a lot, Tristan! Always glad to have a new subscriber. Cheers!

@@diefreundlichespinneausder8594 ok thanks
Great review, thank you! I am looking for a mic I don't have to talk directly into. What kind of mic are you using to do this review?
Thanks a lot, Karen!
I was using the Samson C02. Here's a portion of a video that explains my audio setup: ruclips.net/video/2ZETMw53hi4/видео.html
Can this be used with a boom arm?
I don't think that would be ideal. Usually mics of this sort aren't made with handling noise in mind. Also, it's a USB connection so cabling would be an issue, and the mount isn't compatible with booming, you'd have to hack it up.
Currently attached to a boom stand 18 inches over my left shoulder.
did you break it? I mean are plastic parts breaking easily?
No, unless it's dropped or hit heavily. But we have also included a spare base unit in the package. Even for the worse situation that two of them are broken, you can still contact us at web@fifinemicrophone or Facebook page: facebook.com/FifineStore for the warranty service.

just got this mic and great tip on the windows/gain volume balance! I couldn't figure out why the sound was so low on my voice tests.
Besides the level setting, the other factor having great impact on the volume is range. Perhaps you can test it at around one fist length?
