hey guys I'm back and with more Fifine
so this week I'm trying out the fi fine K669 it's the pink
smaller cheaper little brother of this guy oh this guy I remember I did this
review a little bit earlier in the year it was the $50 cardioid microphone that
I absolutely loved it had a microphone jack in the back so you could use that
as your audio source if you wanted to listen carefully to things or talk or
you could use it for gaming podcast heads this nice firm metal base my one
mild complaint was the plastic bracket which actually ended up breaking on me a
little ways down the road and I fixed with superglue so that seems to be
holding up stronger than ever and yeah everything else about it though I
absolutely loved and it's been my daily microphone since then and I've even
tested other microphone scents but always went back to that one so well the
cheaper Pinker little brother little sister that colors don't have genders
kids don't don't confuse I'm gonna get bashed for this video oh no anyway this
is a smaller one and it's cheaper but does it hold up to the bigger one yeah
because you automatically see there's a lot of similarities inside you see the
little cardioid capsule and the adjustable volume meter which adjusts
these the microphone so you'll need to make sure you have that adjusted
properly before you start recording I'm probably gonna have to check and make
sure my meters are good and one of the main differences I've noticed there is
no microphone jack and there is no full metal stand which I really did like that
stand and it came with the options to attach it to a pole which this if you
take off a tripod it comes with you could also attach to a boom
if you so desired so that attaches on so this this tripod was interesting to me
so inside you see the brass threading but this threading is plastic so I hope
that doesn't wear down too soon I mean you can always change it out for
something else it's not it's not crucial to the microphone itself so I mean if
you're gonna be doing more serious stuff you'll probably attach a boom to it
anyway but just something to keep in mind now the rest of the knuckle here or
however you want to call it the base of the legs that is plastic but the legs
themselves are a very hard plastic I almost thought they were metal in the
beginning they actually it's hard to tell I can't tell if they are a metal or
a plastic I mean that's their solid that's the point usually I can tell the
difference but now I'm not so sure and then they have these nice little rubber
legs I've mentioned before in my videos I don't like tripods on microphones but
I noticed instantly a key difference with this one this has a very wide
spread so when you place it down on a table it actually has a lot of all right
so right here you see there is a nice spread so it has a lot of stability
actually so you tighten this up that once you adjust it and then you're good
to go you can move this around you can shake the table and it's gonna stand
very firmly to the table so I gotta give him props on it they took a design I
didn't really like so much and made it since those legs are spread more widely
they're gonna take up a little more space so keep that in mind so how about
the quality well I've compared the two together and at first to maybe an
untrained ear you might think they're the same I listen back to them and well
let's play some exams this is the second test with the pink fly fine microphone
same distance same volume and we're gonna compare the quality of
the two microphones between the less expensive and the more expensive now
this recording is going to be exactly the same volume and the exact same
distance between myself and the microphone this is the test one this is
on the original more expensive five five microphone okay
examples made so uh if you if you have the volume or you have good speakers or
good headphones you can hear that the little pink boy the six six nine has a
little more static than its bigger brother and it seems to capture a little
more sound than the big bigger cardioid does which in some instances might be
more valuable if you're trying to capture a little more audio in the room
whereas the other one is very strict for vocals the other one sounds a little bit
more richer and cleaner when it comes to vocals not that this one is bad it's
just a little weaker in that area so it justifies the price difference I would
say between the bigger and the smaller but it is at by no means a deal-breaker
if you didn't want to go out and spend $50 on a microphone and only wanted to
spend a little under 30 then this would be a good buy absolutely it's definitely
miles ahead some of the other cheaper microphones
I have benchmarked and I would still pick this over any of those so does it
still have the same features and do you care whether or not your microphone has
a headphone jack then this is probably the answer for you
and certainly if you're just using it for gaming or you are trying to have a
better microphone for your videos on YouTube and yeah this is gonna be better
than any of the microphones that you're gonna have built into your camera or
webcam or even microphone that comes with your computer it's miles and miles
and miles ahead of that so yes for the price point that it is
it's probably the best microphone I've ever tried well that's it for today's
video guys if you liked the microphone or you're interested in trying it
yourself it comes in black and pink there's two variants to it and yeah
those will be in the description so if you want to check them out they're there
alright guys I'll be back very soon for another review and hopefully uh
something else I've got I've got a lot of plans a lot of plans in store stay
tuned
