There's a lot to say about this microphone, but the biggest compliment I can give it is that in my blind sound tests, I ranked the Fifine K688 above the Shure SM7B as well as the Logitech Blue Sona!For less than $100, you can't go wrong here. Not only do you get USB-C connectivity with a volume knob, gain knob, and capacitive mute button, you also get a XLR output in order to use this on a better interface for an even smoother sound.As far as build quality, it is a metal body as well as metal shielding over the microphone diaphragm. The included wind screen is very soft to the touch. Before you ask, no, the SM7B windscreen doesn't fit on this microphone.In terms of sound quality, this microphone sound like it has been EQ'd right out of the box to be video ready. I do feel that it can benefit from some adjustments in post, especially pulling the high frequencies down just a touch, but this is a personal preference. In regards to the difference between XLR and USB-C sound, the difference is noticeable, but barely. I have a dedicated review of this microphone on my YouTube channel as well as the comparison video to other microphones.The only negative that I could say here is that the windscreen can move easily off the microphone, so I did place a small amount of double sided tape on the inside of the wind screen at the base to keep it in place.Fifine is doing something AWESOME with their products, so you should really check this product out if you are in the market for a budget option with a great sound.

I purchased this microphone for general conversations over VOIP and potentially streaming. This microphone does not disappoint! The only stipulation I have with it so far is that it doesn't have a mute button like my Yeti has.The quality is impeccable when tuned correctly with a mixer. I bought a Behringer Xenyx 802 to pair with this microphone and all my friends love the quality and sound output whenever I speak.

Update 4/13/22 - I was able to work with Akaso support team and they were able to send me a replacement camera, which seems to have no issues with recording the sound. I am updating this review for the 2 stars i had taken off for the microphone issue.-------------------------So far the action camera shoots well. The quality and image stabilization is on point. The only con is the microphone does not pickup sound very well. Also I am not able to find the microphone. It was not in stock either on the website. I am taking off 2 stars because of the microphone. I wish this can record sound.

There’s always a trade off with size / bass response when selecting speakers.It’s surprising at how well these Logitech speakers delivered robust, undistorted bass response while keeping the speaker size reasonable.The approach of using two smaller speakers for midrange and treble response, and a larger (but not too large) cabinet to handle lower frequencies works well. I will be using these speakers every day, and enjoying the sound!

I use this microphone for narration in videos I make and it sounds great.

I'm YouTuber and so microphones are a very big deal for me. In may earlier stages of my YouTube channel, I used the internal microphone for my computer HP ENVY. This little microphone puts out MUCH better quality than that of the internal mic of the computer. It is very durable inconvenient for travel when I cannot haul around my Yeti. I will say that this is an excellent starting microphone. However, if you later on invest in a better microphone like the blue yeti, you will not want to go back to using the Samson go. You can really tell a difference in the quality then.However, if you have to travel lightly, then it is an ideal microphone to carry which will not break under the pressure of being in tightly packed spaces due to its folding feature.PROS• small for travel or for a laptop• folds easily for safe storage• lasts a long time (I have never dropped mine so I don't know the extend of that durability)• has different settings omni and cardioid• UsbCONS• Not the best quality if you're used to Studio quality mics• The hinge on which it pivots can wear down after time causing it to droop. ( this can be annoying if you have it clamped on your laptop. I had to skew it at just the right angle so that it wouldn't fall over forward.**UPDATE**It is now September 2019 and this little guy STILL works. In a pinch, if I need to go somewhere, he does fine and still works perfectly.

I bought this Blue Yeti Blackout almost 6 years ago on an Amazon lightning deal for $75. I'm very glad I did as I have not seen the price go anywhere near that low in all of those years since. I used this microphone as my daily microphone while gaming/working for the better part of 4 years, before switching to my current wireless headset; but I still break it out and use it whenever I'm going to record a video or give a professional presentation in front of a wider audience. This microphone is a true studio-quality microphone, from a well known brand, for less than $100. With that said, it by no means is plug-and-play, it requires lots of tuning, learning, and attention to detail to make it the truly incredible microphone that it is. I personally have had to turn down the microphone input volume in my Windows settings and manually adjust the gain on the microphone to compensate, and I use a noise suppression filter in OBS when recording, as I live on a busy street; but your mileage will vary. I have no idea if there are better options out there, but the Mics I have seen in person that compare to the Yeti Blackout are nowhere near as hefty and sturdy. At the time I purchased this microphone, it was really the only logical option in this price range; and I am incredibly impressed that it has held up all these years later.

I have purchased this Microphone to compliment my DJ Streaming Setup and I'm glad I did.It picks up sound perfectly, it is warm and doesn't feedback from the huge tunes I'm playing in the background.It comes with the clip holder which is nice as well.It does pick up a bit of sound from handling but it is easily fixed with some noise suppression/noise gate.Only thing I would have loved to see is an on/off switch on it.. But at that price.. I won't complain.
