how's it going guys today I'm gonna be reviewing fifine k670 USB
microphone so shortly after I did the review on their lab a wireless lavalier
microphone they reached out to me again and asked me to try out their higher
quality USB microphone and to be honest when I did the last review when I was
looking through all their microphones and products I looked at this one and
was like hey how you doing but you know I I did the one that they wanted me to
try and things worked out but when they asked me to do this one I was more than
thrilled to give it a shot because this is their premium microphone
this is this is the best one they got right now and good quality microphones
can be sometimes well under expensive but this gives the well you know what
let's just cut to the chase so right out of the box when I pulled it out the
first thing actually when I just held the package itself the first thing I
thought of as hand this thing is heavy and it's not a particularly large
microphone or anything like that the box is actually the same exact size box that
I got the wireless lavalier mic in and when I open it up I noticed the first
thing I noticed was that it was all metal now it's all metal except for this
one part there's one part of the actual the elbow I guess would you say that
holds the microphone up from the stand and that part is plastic now it's not
like it's a cheap quality plastic it's just it's a slight it's kind of an odd
feeling with all of its metal and then this one thing is plastic it's not a
huge knock or anything like that but in the future it'd be cool if it was all
metal and then you can honestly say that there's a full metal constructed
microphone not that that's hugely important it's just one of those premium
things that people like to see other than that there wasn't too much more to
dive into you just put the stand together
microphone and I have to try it right away oh one other thing the base of this
microphone is solid it is very heavy and that's actually a good thing
no that was a big plus because the base of a microphone needs to be heavy so
that it will balance while I won't topple or you know you can have a little
bit of shake to the table or whatever you're putting it on and it won't topple
over and that's kind of a big thing with a lot of cheap microphones they have
this sort of tripod this cheap plastic tripod thing that if you just move a
little bit they'll fall and it gets kind of annoying but this I was happy to see
it has a nice solid stand to it the rest of the features it has a volume knob
that works pretty well that you can adjust the sensitivity of the microphone
based off of your environment so if you have a lot of background noise and you
talk closer to the microphone you can kind of eliminate some of that
background noise by turning down the volume and just talking closer which is
kind of kind of neat on the side it has a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack that you
can plug headphones directly into now when you plug this into the computer
which I'll get to in a second you'll have to change those settings so that
the audio is sent out through this instead of your normal speakers and the
same goes for the microphone whenever you use it make sure that it seems it
seems like it's obvious but it isn't always when it comes to USB devices
sometimes you actually have to you almost always have to switch it in your
audio settings it's not like the typical 3.5 millimeter headphone jack that you
plug into now installation it couldn't be simpler I literally just plugged it
in and it was installed in seconds you don't have to click anything it just
automatically loads the drivers and you're good to go literally seconds like
five seven seconds somewhere around there
no time at all it could be simpler and as soon as I plugged it in I got
something I didn't expect and it actually glows blue on the inside
there's an LED in there so it kind of it was a nice little feature I mean it
literally adds nothing to it other than aesthetics but when you're adding
aesthetics you know you get a little bit more of a premium feeling at this that's
a thing maybe it's also a slap against its competitor blue and how it does it
hold up against its competitors well blue is probably the most common
manufacturer of USB microphones that youtubers and podcasting gamers tend to
go to because it has a simple plug-and-play feature but the price is
pretty much double of what fifine's is fifine's microphone is $47.99
which at its cheapest point the blue snowball I believe is the the only one
that's close to that price it's about 50 bucks and it has the cheap tripod thing
going on and it just it doesn't it doesn't feel as nice it has more plastic
parts and things like that so it comparatively I think you're getting a
better value with my five anyway and the most important question of all of course
is the audio quality I've been more than pleased with the audio quality honestly
I'm for the sake of arguments I am going to not edit the audio at all I'm not
gonna change a thing about it other than maybe adjusting the volume to meet the
levels better because let me let me check my audios now no I'm not clipping
or anything like that so I probably won't even have to do that
the audio is very crisp and clear and it's very satisfying I mean it's it's
more than just usable it actually will sound professional sound good I have a
lot of background noise in my loft there's stuff going on outside in the
city I've got fans in the background
there's pipes that are running tremendous amounts of water for the
whole building it's not an ideal recording setting but all the recordings
I've done with this microphone so far have been pleasing normally when I
refute these videos I used a shotgun microphone attached to my camera right
now I'm not using any audio from the camera at all I am just using the
recording from this microphone so in a way of me just talking is kind of the
review of it yourself you can kind of tell what an unadulterated audio
performance sounds like from this this microphone now let's talk about
compatibility this USB microphone basically anything that can plug into it
can be used which is really cool that's including Windows Mac and Linux yes even
Linux was I give applause to because not everyone uses that so being able to
support everyone is kind of a big deal like that apparently even up from their
site I haven't tested this but apparently you can even use it on your
Playstation 4 for streaming and for gaming and the like so I've used it for
gaming on PC and even on there it was a pretty good experience I mean it's just
so simple you just plug it in and use it I mean what more is there to ask for so
for uses I would recommend this for a youtuber like me who makes videos in is
directly connected to a computer or near a laptop or something for this to plug
into because this won't plug into your camera unless you have some sort of
adapter which currently I'm unaware of but if you have a laptop or recording in
some sort of small studio space of your own this works great one thing I will
say it is a condenser microphone and it's a cardio now I can't even say that
work hurt cardioid style so if you're planning to do like ASMR stuff where
you're going all around the microphone making sounds and whispering stuff work
cling wrappers or anything like that it doesn't exactly work for that because it
doesn't have that surround sound feature which isn't a knock against it I'm just
letting you know if that's what you were gonna do that's not what you should
expect it is an extremely simple straightforward product that provides
amazing quality I mean listen to how clear I sound you can get really close
and you can like breathe on it and stuff and talk really close and it doesn't
really hurt it like the audio you can hear it pretty clearly it's not like
it's like seven out of seven dolphins I guess I rated everything by dolphins now
but honestly for a simple straightforward crystal-clear amazing
microphone I think it's an incredible value a premium valance and definitely
worth consideration so huge thanks again to fine for sending this to me if in
case you guys were wondering I do they did not pay me to say any of this stuff
that did not ask for I have been asked before by other companies to guarantee
they're like hey we'll give you this if you give us you know if I've started
reading things like that and I turned them down if I find that one it might
they said see whatever you have to say about it we want honest opinions to
improve it I really respect that in a company I really do a company that's
willing to put that out there and give it to a stranger to put through the
crucible and then be okay with whatever comes out that's that's respectable
so again huge thanks to them and huge props to them and I really think you
should check this microphone out I'll put the links in the Amazon description
or the Amazon link in the district you know how it works you know what we did
actually you know what I do have one criticism I find you need to get some
names for your microphone the case 670 just no one remembers that I mean it
makes sense from an engineering standpoint to you know name things in
sequential order but if you want things to have something
pizzazz and people remember him to look for it and to remember it by you got to
find some creative names I mean blue Yeti I mean that's I've heard it once
and I remember it I mean it's not that hard I mean people name things all the
time I mean these these things should be remembered they're excellent
I wish more people knew about it I want to bring more awareness to this product
but you got to get some good names you got to get creative but yeah that's my
serious seriously my only real criticism about this microphone so that's it I
highly recommend it and I think you should check it out see ya
