FIFINE K669B Gaming Mic guide Description
Social media content creators are a dime a dozen these days, with more queuing up for a piece of the pie. Starting out on a shoe-string demands making some strategic purchases and of those, the Fifine K669B USB Condenser Microphone is one of the most popular buys. It goes a modest $29.99 on Amazon US, £34.99 on Amazon UK and if you live in Uganda, it's currently on sale on Odukar for UGX 320,000. You can record your gaming sessions, create podcasts, livestreams, have meetings and more and not have to worry about the quality of the audio.
We have tested the Fifine K669B for a while now and we are now ready to give our verdict. For its price, the mic more than delivers the goods and I have to say, that's 30 bucks well spent. It makes me want to sing: "Hey Mickey, you're so fine, you blow my mind" just for giggles. Jokes aside, let's take a deep dive, if you don't mind.
Fifine K669B USB Condenser Microphone Specs
Power Supply: 5V USB power
Polar Pattern: Cardioid
Frequency Response: 20Hz-20KHz
Sensitivity: -34d±30% (at 1kHz)
S/N ratio: 78dB
Output connection: USB 2.0
The Fifine K669B USB Condenser Microphone is surprisingly hefty for its going rate. The all-black (also comes in purple) metal build of the microphone and the tripod feels premium to my untrained eye. The only plastic bits are the tripod head (the legs are metal) and the rubber tripod feet. The components are sturdy and cool to the touch and that's something I rather like. The end result is a mic that mimics the look and feel of more pricey ones but at a fraction of the cost.
The Mic has an integrated 5.9ft USB-A cable attached at the base. I don't know exactly how I feel about it. It might be a deal-breaker for some consumers who would prefer the USB-C route and those who would want a replaceable cord.
The only control is an analog knob for gain input on the mic itself which is labeled volume. Dialing up the knob will capture more background noise, echo, and reverb but also make you sound louder, so you would be best served with a bit of experimentation to get the perfect level for your environment.
When portability comes into play, the Fifine is ideal for recording on the go. It measures only 120 x 48 mm and 158 grams, which is small enough to fit in a side pocket of your backpack.
