FIFINEUSB Gaming Streaming Microphone Kit for PC Computer, Condenser Mic Set with Arm Stand Mute Button & Gain, Mic Studio Bundle for Podcast Recording Twitch Discord YouTube Zoom, USB C & A -T683

I have it set 12 inches from my face, level with my nose and off to the side so it doesn't block my screen. Gain is mid-way. Running through a usb 3.1 port. The quality is surprisingly high. Good clear audio. With the pass-through jack on the back you hear the ambient noise since there is no sound suppression going through of course, but after testing in discord is very good. Discord's Krisp audio setting over the standard. Doesn't pickup my fan or a/c if I'm not talking, and even when I do my friend said there was no issue with it. Still clear audio. I know that speaks more for discord's noise filter itself I suppose, but still wanted to mention how it works with discord.For a 60$ package deal, this was such a steal. Almost got a quadcast just to ensure I didn't have to deal with cheap equipment, but glad this worked out. This is really good stuff. Whether this holds up over time is another matter. It's still possible to get lemons with any product, but I have hopes for this one. Since I don't have to move it around or anything regardless of whether I'm using it, it should last a good long while.Too lazy to post a picture, but the mic itself is hanging upside down and using the popfilter. No issues tighting it well enough to hold everything together. Fiddling with the arm took a bit and its not the best quality of course, but I'm not paying top-tier price either. For the price and the bundle itself, it works well. No complaints. If you want smooth movement and plan to move it around a lot then look for a different arm, but again the mic itself is really good. The review videos thankfully weren't faked as far as I can tell.

Let me start by saying, the Fifine T683 is a darn good little microphone!Here's a YouTube beginners tip: If you're looking to level up your broadcasts, a good microphone is one of the best bangs you can get for just a few bucks!So what's included in the box?More than you you'd think for this price point:* Scissor Arm for mounting to the desk - INCLUDED* Pop filter for reducing or eliminating popping sounds - INCLUDED* Shock mount to prevent vibrations from affecting the quality of your sound - INCLUDED* USB cable with both Type A and Type C ends to future proof the mic - INCLUDEDI don't want to sound like I'm overselling this microphone, but all of this for $69.99!!(as of May 31, 2021)Then of course, there is the microphone. The Fifine T683 USB microphone itself is only 5 inches tall. A little taller with the pop filter installed. It's a condenser microphone that performs very well in a studio environment. It has a physical gain control knob along with a mute button with easy access on the front of the mic, and an 3.5mm headphone jack in the back.So what are you missing with a mic at this price?You don't get software that allows you to manipulate the quality of the sound. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I rarely ever mess with the settings on my Yeti microphone and in fact, have had some issues with the software failing to recognize the mic without unplugging it and plugging it back in. The simplicity of plug and play with a quality sound out of the box is refreshing.You don't get multiple patterns. The T683 only comes with the cardioid function meaning it works best when its a few inches away, directly in front of your mouth. The further away from the center of the mic you get, the sound levels will drop. That's great for reducing sound interference coming from the sides or behind the microphone, but if you are trying to use it with 2 or more people, the audio won't be as clear and crisp for those off to the sides.As with all products, do your homework. I really like this microphone, especially with all the accessories that come with it and at an excellent price point for an entry to intermediate level microphone.

I am very impressed with this microphone for the price. The sound quality you get out of this microphone is impressive as it's a condenser mic. Picks up your voice without picking up any of the background noise.I see this microphone being very popular for YouTubers, streamers, gamers, zoom, etc for people who need higher sound quality for their videos. But I don't see this microphone being used for singing or recording acoustic instruments...not to say you couldn't - If you know what you're doing in post processing using Audacity or such, you could get some great recordings in a pinch for the money, that's hard to beat.In terms of features, it has a easy to access gain knob and its quite sensitive too, be careful. It also has a mute button that's easy to press and that is very handy when you need to mute the mic quickly during a live stream or a zoom call. On the backside of the microphone there is a headphone jack which doubles as a audio passthrough from your computer so is incredibly handy. I've even used it as an audio out directly into my camera for video and it sounded FANTASTIC! Thoroughly impressed!Build quality of the T683 is excellent, feels rugged. It's made out of metal and has some significant amount of weight. It feel's more expensive that it actually is. Comes with a great quality USB cable that is nearly 9 feet long. Although, I kind of wish it had separate USB C and USB A cables but it works. It also comes with a boom arm and is one thing that I'm deducting a star for. It's quite cheaply made, basically they took an architect style lamp apart and retrofitted it for this microphone. While it does work, it has exposed springs and it's very prone to rattle from the desk which can be picked up via the microphone.However, for the price...it's to be expensive. They could've came up with a better design and added $10 to the cost, which I would've been gladly to pay. I also would've liked to seen some sort of cable management thing for the boom arm, even if it was just some velcro wire wraps. It goes a long way to keeping everything tidy.Overall, I'm quite impressed with this microphone and for $70, it's a great deal for a decent quality sounding microphone that sounds really close to the Blue Yeti.I recommend it! Maybe get yourself a better stand though.
