Fifine K688 Review / Test (vs. TD510, PD100, Q2u, MV7)
HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/k688
Today I review a budget dynamic mic which costs between $70 and $80, the Fifine K688. This is an XLR & USB mic with zero latency monitoring and it offers a pretty decent sound. The main draw back to this is how resonant and hollow sounding it is.
