5.0 out of 5 stars BEST Budget Microphone! - Written by son Josh
*disclaimer*The following was written by my son Josh.When I got sent this microphone by Fifine, I was seriously impressed with the quality of the box which it came in, the box was made of a hard cardboard with the “Fifine Technology” Logo imprinted onto the front.The box was easy to open, opening with a few flaps, the first item in the package which you are greeted with is an extremely helpful user manual. This manual helps you to connect the microphone to your Windows or Mac computer with a few easy steps. After you remove the manual you will then find the usb end of the microphone which is protected in a bit of foam to ensure that it does not get damaged during shipping. Below this you will find the long 2m cable which comes attached to the microphone, and then of course is the microphone.The build quality of the usb end is extremely high, it is made of a hard plastic in order to protect the inner circuit board, and as for the microphone, the capsule itself is also made of a hard plastic with metal grills on it to allow noise to go in. The clip which you attach to yourself is very sturdy as it is made of a high quality metal however it is still easy to open, the cable is a good length and is covered in plastic as well, my only complaint with the cable is that it is not braided, though this is not a deal breaker.To start off with I would like to tell you guys about the amazing build quality of this mic, the mic itself is housed in a hard plastic shell, with some metal grates on the outside to allow noise and audio to go into the microphone. Also on this end, the clip which you attach to yourself is extremely durable and is made of a high quality metal, whilst it is easy enough to open when you want to attach it, it is nowhere near loose enough for it to fall off you. This is a key feature of any lavalier microphone, and it is good that Fifine took this into consideration when making the K053. The USB end, or the end which you plug into your computer is also very durable, the components are held in a hard, plastic casing to protect them. Where the cable connects with the usb end, there is a slight bump where the cable has been thickened andNow moving onto the microphone itself, the capsule for the microphone is exactly the same size as all of the other lavalier microphones, and it does come with a windshield for the mic already attached which is a nice bonus, however if you do not want this windshield on, you can take it off with a few little pulls. The mic is said to produce “quality sound” which is said to be “crystal clear”, all of this information can be found on the Bolo product page. The frequency range of this microphone is 50-16000khz, this means that the mic will capture all of the highs and all of the lows which your voice has to offer. For the most part, the audio sounds really good, however it does seem to distort a bit when you speak really loudly or really closely into the microphone. But on the whole, for the amount you are paying for the microphone, you really can’t complain. Along with being durable, the usb end of the cable also comes with a headphone jack to allow for live monitoring of your audio. Another thing to note about this microphone is that it is completely plug and play, meaning that to use it, you don’t have to install any software or drivers at all, which is great. If you are running an older computer, Fifine claims that this will also work on any windows version above Windows XP.Here is a list of the Pros and Cons of this microphone:Pros:- The microphone is extremely affordable- The audio is amazing for the price- The cable is long and durable (2m)- It is compatible with the latest versions of Windows and Mac- The clip is sturdy yet easy to open- There is an audio jack for live monitoringCons:- The audio tends to distort at high volumesIf you compare the amount of pros, to the amount of cons, you will see that this is amazing value for money. Overall this is an amazing microphone for the incredibly cheap price tag, if you are looking for a great microphone for YouTube videos, Twitch streaming, voice overs or anything of the sort, which delivers amazing audio, all for $20, this is definitely the microphone for you.Thanks for reading!
4.0 out of 5 stars Great mic for the money
I used this mic for creating voiceover inserts on video productions. It was easy to connect to the recording device and worked straight away out of the box without any issues regarding software or hardware compatibility. The build quality seemed quite robust and the audio quality was adequate for the task. Despite being a relatively inexpensive product it is good value for the money.
5.0 out of 5 stars Effective, good value
I have bought several similar devices, so far this is the best I have owned.My setup is that the FiFine device is plugged into a switchable USB 2 hub, shared between three PCs running Windows 10 and Linux, and the 3.5mm FiFine audio output is routed via a simple audio mixer to an amp and a couple of loudspeaker. All three PCs with both OSs were genuinely plug and play, it worked out of the box, and there are no issues with going via the USB hub.Sound quality, microphone and output, is good, and the signal to noise is acceptably low on both. The microphone is as advertised cardioid - my main use is for videoconferencing, I have the conference sound coming from a couple of speakers, reasonably loud, and even in a noisy environment with the speakers reasonably loud, feedback is not an issue.The microphone cable is long enough to be able to stand up and move around a good amount.The cable exit from the device itself seems to be well protected (see photo), I have had issues with cable failure at this point on other devices.In summary, I'd recommend this as an ideal device for video conferencing, Skype calls and the like, especially if you want to avoid wearing a headset; it's also good value for money.
1.0 out of 5 stars Too big and too noisy!
I wanted a decent quality microphone to send to contributors for podcast and Zoom interviews. This Fifine lavalier mic with an attached usb audio interface seemed like a good option - Plug&play to make it easy for non-techies, small enough to easily post, and low enough cost for single use - You can't re-use a personal mic in the time of Covid.The first thing you notice is the size of the mic capsule. It's huge! A lapel mic is designed to be discreet so it's not visible in videos - With the foam windshield on, this is bigger than my thumb! The USB audio interface is also a chunky 6 cm long. It hangs precariously out the side of a laptop waiting to get knocked out. It feels like old, cheap tech from the 1970's. That impression continues when you listen to a recording. The audio is very noisy. I don't know if this is caused by the mic capsule or the audio interface but you would be much better just using the built-in laptop mic.Good USB lavalier mics are available but they do cost a fair bit more. You can also find very good 'analogue' lavaliers that cost a bit less than this but they are designed to be used with cameras and require a couple of accessories to work with a laptop.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works without using laptop sound card
Started to have problems with microphone on Zoom/ Teams call. Didn't matter if I used my laptop mike or an external mike (tried both a headphone set via 3.5mm jack and a USB mike). Decided that the problem seemed to be with the laptop, but I couldn't be bothered with sending it back to IT and found this. Plugs into a USB socket and works really well, using it's own sound card. Only down side is it is bulkier than just a cable - about thumb sized - and the card is directly on the USB connector. I use it with a small USB hub but it is flat and would plug into the side of a laptop on a desk. Mike cable length is good - loops round back of laptop - and sound quality if good. Haven't used the headphone socket.
4.0 out of 5 stars Sound is good after some tweaking
When I tested the K053 the sound was distorted. I adjusted the volume in the sound setting to 80% and bam just like that 100% better sound. Zero bass for pod-casters so download voicemeeter free app and add some bass. Sound great now.As it is USB it come with a headphone jack for your cans.Overall not a bad microphone for the price.
Mucho mejor de lo que esperaba por 20€, es una maravilla de micro.
Me he quedado muy asombrado de lo bien que graba las voces este micro. Si me hubiera costado 100€ estaría muy satisfecho, imaginad mi sorpresa por 20€, es una maravilla.Es un micro pensado para locuciones, que es precisamente para lo que están diseñados este tipo de micros de solapa._____________________________________________________PROS (Tras unos días grabando con él)- Ruido de fondo inexistente. Un 10 en este sentido- Al ser su capsula cardioide graba muy bien la voz de la persona que lo lleva en la solapa quedando muy atenuados los posibles ruidos ambientales que para nada tapan la voz y muy fáciles de eliminar con un "Denoiser". No lo he probado en ambientes muy ruidosos pero ahí ya se sabe. Lo que si me ha gustado es que graba muy bien incluso en salas con algo de reverberación si que esta sea un problema, aunque tampoco lo he probado en una iglesia.- Muy buena calidad de grabación respetando con mucha fidelidad las frecuencias de la voz y que no precisa ecualización posterior, aunque esto de la ecualización es un tema muy personal de cada uno. Pero sirve de sobra para chat con muy buena calidad.- La esponja que trae absorbe muy bien los molestos "pops" y estos son inexistentes en la grabación.- De igual modo filtra muy bien las eses, evitando esta molesta "sibilancia" que a veces es difícil de eliminar y requiere mucha habilidad con los Desser- La tarjeta de sonido que trae con salida para cascos mejora mucho la salida de mi portátil en concreto.- La pinza de sujeción es metálica de buena calidad y muy discreta.- Funciona perfectamente en Gnu/Linux, es conectar y listo.- Al ser Usb es muy práctico para ordenadores o dispositivos móviles para poder ir a grabar con buena calidad locuciones sin tener que cargar mucho equipo.- Hasta la cajita donde viene me ha gustado, de cartón de muy buena calidad e ideal para guardar o transportar._____________________________________________________CONTRAS- AUN NO SE LOS HE ENCONTRADO._____________________________________________________Es de estos productos que 5 estrellas se le quedan cortos.LO RECOMIENDO si lo que necesitas es un micro para grabar voces para vídeo tutoriales. podcast o para chatear por la red, la verdad es que no me cansaría de elogiarlo, se acabaron mis problemas para grabar las voces para unos vídeo-tutoriales que estoy haciendo.Como anécdota citar que compré un micro "Samson Meteorite", que vale el doble y este micro FIFINE le gana de calle en todos los sentidos.Si es para chat y no quieres tenerlo en la solapa puedes usar cualquier objeto que lo pueda soportar con su propia pinza y usarlo como si fuera un micro de soporte_____________________________________________________Lo que más destacaría es la limpieza y calidad con la que graba.
Sonido patético.
Al menos en Mac, fatal. Sonido de estática desde el primer momento. Realmente ya he aprendido la lección. Me ocurrió lo mismo con un micrófono de pie que compré barato y he vuelto a caer con este de corbata. Lo barato en micrófonos, sale caro.Estuve horas intentando solucionar el problema y no hubo manera. Consulté a expertos, descargué programas y nada. El micro es malo y no hay magia posible para eso.Mi recomendación, gástense un poco más y no se arriesguen con esto. No sé cómo funcionará en Windows, pero desde luego en Mac, con cualquier programa que uses para grabar, no lo recomiendo.
