Fifine k678 is a good beginner friendly mic for YouTube and other purpose.

Microfone muito bom. Som de qualidade podendo ajustar o volume seja de fala ou do retorno no fone de ouvido. Mudo sendo bem importante também, podendo mutar o microfone sem preocupação de que possam saber. Tudo funciona perfeitamente. Além do material ser de metal e bem resistente.

Produto de otima qualidade, atende 100% o proposto. Muito robusto, não precisa ficar colado. Uso para viceo conferencias e a qualidade já foi notada. Apesar de não ter cancelamento, o direcionamento é muito bom, isolando sons indesejados.

Me gusta la fidelidad y por su precio lo amerita.

Very well built. It felt solid in your hand. The placement of the knobs are good. The mic. gain and the headphone feedback volume knobs are located at the back of the mic. They are normally setup and left alone thus putting them in the back keeps the look at the front clean or less cluster.The mute button is located at the front which would be the button that is used all the time especially for those who use the mic. for meeting. In addition, the push button mute button is "noise free" when you push in or push out (to mute or to unmute). This is a great paid attention to the detail as it won't generate sound when you push the button to mute or unmute.For the sound quality, it is hard to evaluate as you would need the feedbacks from the far end. From what I can gather, the sound quality reported is good.The included USB cable is very soft. It has ferrite filters at both ends to help minimize noise interference. The cable is decently long that should meet most desk or boom setup. The plugs look very good with good size to grab on.The sound quality from the headphone is adequate. I do not have any other reference to compare how it matches other. However, according to the info, the amplify is not designed to drive some hard to drive headphones (such as high impedance headphones). It should be fine for typical 32 ohm headphone.The price point for this microphone is perfect and for good design and very well built.

I was having complaints while video conferencing that my sound wasn't always clear and understandable. To be fair, my computer is perched on the corner of my desk, so that I have plenty of desk work area. The computer mic was not designed for clear sound from over 3 ft away (when I'm sitting back in my chair during video conferencing.)This mic is indeed plug and play. Although you may need to (read the tiny instructions) to go into your computer's sound settings and specify 'USE DEVICE SPEAKERS' when you are using this microphone - as the mic defaults, out of the box, to the 'audio out' port on the bottom of the mic, for use with headphones. Set this preference one time, and you should be done with that forever. (Might also have to do it once inside of the ZOOM program, however.) The mic will pick up your voice as soon as you plug it in and begin to use it, and your laptop speakers will continue to be active.The SOUND is forever SOLID AND CLEAR with this microphone... no matter where I place the mic. It isn't omnidirectional, but honestly, if I place it anywhere reasonably in front of me, it doesn't matter that it isn't eight inches in front of me, it always picks up great sound. It gives me confidence when participating in the program.This is mic built solidly, sounds awesome, has high end features like mic gain (USE IT! IT'LL get your mic sound just right for your environment!)That MUTE button... works perfectly, and once glance at the mic will tell you if it is muted (red light) or active (green light) BUT it DOES NOT TOGGLE THE ZOOM MIC ICON... which means that the moderator thinks I'm unmuted on Zoom, even when the microphone is actually muted... Effectively, it is a double mute/unmute switch in ZOOM. I dearly wish that there would be an update that would coordinate the mics mute switch with Zoom's in program mute/unmute icon.However - I'm completely happy with my choice of this microphone!

This microphone is compact, elegant and provides professional grade performance - it is that good.Physical Construction:- All metal construction - very sturdy and solid build.- The 5" triangular metal base is very sturdy and has rubber pads underneath giving it a steady and slip resistant perch - this mic is solid.- There is a green LED on the front fact of the mic when the microphone is active.- Push the mute button and the green LED turns red to indicate the microphone is off.- The mute button operates silently but in the recording track, there is a muffled thump when the mute is activated but is not significant.- USB Cable - solid and well made.- The tilt of the mic may be adjusted by loosening the two knobs on the side of the body. The mic body still has a bit of play even when the knobs are fully tightened. Not a deal breaker but it could have had a better tighten and hold feature.Audio Performance and Frequency Response:- The FiFine mic was tested for voice recordings only and no musical instruments were used.- This microphone has only a cardiod pattern for pickup and it does exceptionally well.- The sound play back is clear, crisp without distortion and artifacts.- The microphone gain sensitivity can be set to drop the noise floor to achieve crystal clarity in your audio.- I used Audacity to record and play back recordings. A very useful tool to set the microphone gain for maximum clarity without being over driven.- With the mic tilted back facing my mouth straight on and the mic gain set at 25%, speaking at a distance of 6", the audio was clear without being over driven. This is monitored in real time by bar graphs and actual voice pattern plots.- Background noise rejection - Excellent! This was tested using a Bluetooth speaker placed 18" away at 10 o'clock position to one side of the mic and the volume set at pretty high (Using normal speaking voice level, a person sitting on the opposite side of the table would not be able to hear my voice as the speaker volume was set that high). As recorded on Audacity, the FiFine mic captured my voice clearly while rejecting 90% of the background music. The background music was heard faintly and did not compete at all with my voice spoken at a normal level. Impressive!Intended Microphone Application:- VoIP phone calls.- No feedback issues in using computer speakers 16" behind the microphone without using a headphone.Slight Negative Feature:- On the back of the microphone are the mic gain and headphone audio level adjustment knobs. These two knobs are the size of a pencil eraser and protrudes about the same dimension. The drawback is these knobs are smooth and have no knurling and this makes adjustments difficult. There is a indicating line on the face of these knobs to indicate position but it is rather difficult to see without a contrasting colored line. Fortunately, once these levels are set, you shouldn't have to mess with them very much and it is nice they are out of the way on the back side of the microphone.Final thoughts:This is one exceptional microphone for the price. Yes, there are features that are not available compared to the Samson G Track Pro but unless you really need those features, buy the FiFine mic as you will not give up any audio qualities. I have compared this directly with the Samson G Track Pro and it is very difficult to tell the G Track Pro is that much better from audio recordings made on Audacity. For those that want a great microphone that don't require an omni direction nor a figure 8 pattern, this is the microphone to get. The noise rejection test I did proved how exceptional this microphone really is.

Got this for online meetings during the pandemic--the mic on my laptop is pretty crappy and besides I wanted something that can still pick up my voice clearly from a short distance away. Especially given how much time virtual meetings are taking up these days, before this it was exhausting to yell loudly into the stupid laptop to even be heard properly every time. This mic solved all those issues beautifully--I can sit at an arm's distance from the desk and speak freely. Here's a quick breakdown of why an external mic is usually a better choice:***Built-in mics (laptop/tablet)***Regardless of how good (or bad) the quality, most built-in microphones on laptops and tablets pick up ambient sound pretty indiscriminately--granted that's OK for occasional and short-duration needs, such as Skype calls and the like as most built-in mics are specially tuned to pick up the human voice among all the noise. That word noise is key--as these general purpose microphones (whether "unidirectional" or "omnidirectional") don't do as well if you're in a place with other potential sound sources. How acceptable the audio quality then depends on your specific case and needs--for example, my online meetings happen in a living room where I have a ceiling fan running. The laptop mic picks up the fan noise, but does ok capturing my voice too--provided I speak loudly and towards the front of the screen.***External mics***In contrast, external mics provide more control: many (and K678 too) are cardioid in pattern, meaning they are great at picking up sound directly in front of the mic (your voice) while mostly discarding sounds from behind. For example, as I'm not an audio pro and my meetings happen in a real room and not a sound studio, the cardioid pattern is perfect for me. The external mic picks up my voice well, and if I set it up right (more on this below) there's no trace of the ceiling fan noise in the audio as well. You could go all pro on this too of course with higher-end models, but USB mics are a good entry-level option. So although most audio pros would scoff at a "mere USB mic" the advantages are many: not just the price, but also more importantly super simple to set up (directly hook up to your computer, no "interface" needed unlike many higher-end pro models).***Mic setup/positioning, gain levels, K678 vs 669B***As the pattern is cardioid, the mic works best if positioned in front of you, tilted up slightly so that the front (with the LED button) is towards your mouth/throat. Note that unlike a stage performer who speaks/sings into the rounded end of a handheld microphone, you'd want to speak not to the rounded end nor the back but instead into the front of this USB mic like a classic radio personality/broadcaster. I find it works fine even when more than a foot or so away from me on the desk. On the back, you have the two control knobs--for adjusting the mic gain and headphone output levels. Crucially, I found out that keeping the mic gain level low is essential for eliminating background noise—I sometimes like to turn it down all the way to zero, but it still picks up my voice while cutting out ambient noise. Note that gain level is not the volume - in normal situations if you’re 6-8 inches away you shouldn’t need any “gain.” But you might want to experiment with different levels depending on your situation.Fifine has two USB mics that are equally worth considering--669B and 678 (the latest). I went with 678 mainly because it looked more compact to me. K678 is pretty much all metal in construction (and hence has a solid, hefty feel to it)--and also boasts a very good quality headphone jack output. I use this to hook up an external speaker (in fact, online videos sound markedly superior via this outlet compared to the one I was getting via my laptop's headphone jack). 669B lacks this output jack, which is a crucial factor for me, an added reason why I chose the K678. So while K678 is clearly the newer and superior quality version and both are budget models, 669B seems even kinder to the pocket though--choice up to you depending on your requirements.***A word about Fifine, the company***The name of the company ("Fifine"--pronounced f'EYE-fine, which sounds pretty weird to me). Like most electronic stuff these days though, note that this is made in China--but neither the weird name nor the China connection should stop you necessarily. Why? Because the sad reality is that from wires to chargers to tablets/computers and even smart phones, it's pretty damn hard if not nearly impossible to escape the China link really (even when we're told explicitly something is made elsewhere, chances are key components came from China). I actively try to avoid Chinese-made stuff whenever possible but clearly this policy of mine has only limited effect in practical terms (for example, my IPad--American company and bought in the US, but if you look in the back, made in China). Maybe in the old days China primarily made imitation products of inferior quality based on European or American brands. Some inferior quality stuff still comes out of China surely, but if you choose carefully it's surprising how good the quality can sometimes be. Fifine actually seems to do some innovation on its own. While K678 is clearly based on the American BLUE Yeti, also a USB mic--but instead of a copy, Fifine actually made a genuinely great microphone at half the price of the Yeti. (By the way, while the company BLUE is indeed American, no matter what they tell you chances are the main parts of the Blue Yeti, if not the whole thing, is also sourced from China.)
