It wasn't long ago that I only associated Fifine with RGB gamer mics. This is really impressive.
Yeah, I think we have a champion when it comes to starter gear that could be forever gear.
Thanks for your notice! Haha, we don't just have the RGB mic, but also some proper audio gear for recording.
Funny enough I didn't crack and pick up the 669C or 669D, but I did get their new Ampligame SC3 Mixer. Around $40-50. Let's see what we're getting at that range that can help broadcasters have a more accessible interface than the GoXLR.
Ive requested this one!
Thank you very much for the support. Hope it didn't let you down too much, since it's quite far from the level and the performance of the GoXLR, what it aims at is the Behringer UM2. And that interface should be a decent one to get started with and what SC3 does is add a bit more spice to the look and the function.
Just ordered th 669D. Broke my own rule for this month. Will have it sometime tomorrow
lol you won't regret that one Dale
Appreciated the support!
Holy shit. I wish I had my speakers and headphones (I'm traveling rn) but this sounds amazing so far on my headphones ER2XR. This sounds pretty damn great from what I hear.
It's insane what they are doing right now
I wonder how it would sound with a capsule change! I've used a neewer nw800 for capsule and electric mods and loved the results so this might be a great candidate since the electronics are probably better than neewers
May have to potentially do this
🤩Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this K669C mic! I am very delighted that this mic also impresses you. That really encourages us a lot to produce more quality microphones!!
Keep going FOR SURE
@@ObscureMics Absolutely we will!!
Not a bad mic, definitely would use this for some things and recommend it to someone one a good cheapy.
100%. We won't dare say it's an end all mic.... But it can be for a hobbyist
❤❤❤
Not bad sounding at all.
Nope, and thats impressive in itself
It sounds even more than decent for this price! It really looks like my first usb microphone (fifine k669b) but XLR. Kinda gives me nostalgia :')
I'm happy they made it XLR!
Yeah I think this was a super smart move on their part.
Haha, not just look like, we bring back the K669B in XLR version, though we haven't actually planned to discontinue that USB model.
@@FIFINEdont discontinue the usb version, its great
I have to stop drinking my morning coffee when I watch your vids….lol.
“I’m a poet and I didn’t know it….until today. “
All the frequencies are humming at a nice, full, harmonic mix- 🧐 wait …what the heck am I talking about ?! 🤪🤓😎
I love ya brah!!! You’re better than television
Lol I'm sorry if there's coffee stains on your shirt.
All love my man. Appreciate ya
LOL... "Muddled" works for me. As done this mic. Great sound for $$$... or should I say.... Great sound for $. I believe your review was spot on. Personally I prefer the tone from the FiFIne K669D. That being said the K669C is NO slouch. If a bit of sizzle on the top end is what you prefer , the K669C is for you... If not, the K669D is there in all its dynamic glory... at this price point they are both winners. The way I see it.... if FiFine massaged their tonal profiles on their mics just a bit and lowered the noise floor, reduced the handling noise, included some really decent quality isolation style mounts, threw in a quality windscreen for plosive rejection and then stuffed all that goodness into a nice fitted storage case, they could charge a bit more and still dominate the completion. If they brought all that to market at let's say around $80-$90 range.... It would almost be unfair..... almost. They would start gaining ground with all the new gamer channels just starting out and soon catch on with the podcasters. Next thing you know they would be the "best kept secret weapon in audio" all the while gaining ground on the major players. THEN they would catch on. If I were ANY other microphone company I would run SCARED... REAL SCARED.... but then again, maybe that is just me. Thanks Bark for searching out and sharing all the audio goodness.
With you 100% on this. And I bet they could get that package together for $60
@@ObscureMics Wow... at $60 ... talk about market domination... 🤯
Wow, can't thank you enough for all these suggestions to make better products! We definitely give feedback to our engineers to see if we can fulfill all these improvements in our next version of the K669C/D.
I destroy my p100 dynamic microphone because of that button (v48) on the maono amc2
Now I want a good budget condenser microphone 😢
Can u help me find one
This Fifine fits the bill
Im no audiophile and maybe my ears are just fucked, but this sounds damn near identical to the at2020 for a 3rd of the price... definitley getting it
The build is similar....so you may be onto something there
Damn...I think it sounds pretty good, especially for that price. I've ordered three Fifine mics directly from their website and all of them have been an incredible value and arrive in a couple days. IMO they are the budget champion.
Agree 100%. I just bought another k669D - they are going on the podcast table
It sounds better than I expected. I would be interested in hearing a comparison between this, the Mackie em91c and one of those bm800 microphones.
I think id be interested to hear that as well
For $36.99, yup, sounds good.
That or at2020 for music?
I'd go with the fifine.... It's AS good if not better... For less $
For their target audience I think they are great.
Personally, on the headset I'm listening on it was pleasant sounding.
Yeah, nothing majorly off about it at all
It never ceases to surprise me how good cheap mics have gotten in just the past couple of years. I'm not in that market anymore but I love it, they're raising the bar for everyone.
Yeah and the fact that you can not judge an electret these days...is just incredible. Im sure this cost nothing to make, but it sounds like something.
Thanks, I think I’ll opt with this as there’s a combo buy for this mic and the SC3 mixer for cheap, I think it’s nice for budget!
Thats a nice combo for a budget setup!
Um, tbh, we don't highly recommend this combo. For recording, the 16-bit and 48K Hz may not be sufficient for demanding audio quality, while for gaming, a condenser mic doesn't do a really good job at background rejection. Taking the AM8 for gaming while the K688 for recording could be a better move. Then choosing the audio interface when you really need to up the audio game.
I've been waiting to hear this thing since it came out with the d. Not a unicorn imo but like always with fifine it punches pretty well above its price class especially with the build in mind (I got the k669d and it's the best feeling mic I own). It doesn't quite make me want to run out and get one immediately but that could be my bias toward dynamic.
Absolutely understand that! I'm excited to throw this thing in some condenser battle shorts
❤❤❤
Is k669c as good as the at2020? (or better)
For me I say better
@@ObscureMics why?
Less harsh.... Fuller... Less than half the price
Good CM for poor home srudios.
Absolutely

When a mic's 'name' starts off with a decent product like Fifine did and doesn't screw up by selling junk, then just go by a different name, there's respect do. Look how great RODE of Australia is doing now by constantly improving their product. A mic will last a lifetime treated right, considering there's quality in the build. Never forget your buying something you may in the future be selling and a good name brand will bring in the bucks.
Good take
That's true! And thank you very much for the kind words! Because of the content creators, just like Bark and all the customers and viewers who like to give feedback on the product, we can get our own way right. Otherwise, we may also sell things that may look profitable but actually hurt the brand name.
Fifine and Maono are killing it in the budget range. I remember being like "Ah just another gaming shit brand" when Fifine came to the market few years ago, but damn their models sound good.
Well to be fair...that was what they were. Luckily they are evolving
Haha, thank you very much for keeping your eyes on us for this long. Actually, we built one of our best USB mics K669B back then mainly for those who just started recording, but then LTT spotted this model and recommend it for gaming. That's how everything started, and we also go crazy in the gaming field. But later last year, we go back into the recording world with a more dedicated mic K688 for that purpose.
What do I need to do to be in the running to win a mic,?
I'm not sure quite yet.... The fifine gear giveaway is next on my list
this vs k688?
this all day
It depends. If you have some microphone knowledge and your use situation allows you to always use a mic with an interface, basically that means you will not use it outdoors, then the K669C or the dynamic K669D with a proper mixer is better for you. But if the convenience and portability mean a lot more to you, it also won't go wrong with the XLR/USB K688.
669d look like a at2020 clone
the shape at least. luckily the grill sets it apart some
