FIFINE USB Lavalier Lapel Microphone, Clip-on Cardioid Condenser Computer Mic Plug and Play USB Microphone with Sound Card for PC and Mac-K053

I've been using this for a while, for video calls, and it's been great. I have a soft voice, but haven't had any problem with people hearing me, and I don't have to fuss with the position to get it that way. One of my telehealth providers noticed a big improvement on the first call using this. It has its own processing, including background noise filtering, that works really well. The only compatibility issue I've had is that Zoom has noise cancelling in the software, and if I don't turn that off then it can cause a short bit of silence when you first start talking. I was in a call where someone was asking me yes/no questions, and couldn't hear my answer until I turned off Zoom's noise reduction. The dongle is kinda big (what you plug into the USB port), and I wish it had some software to change settings, but I've been really happy with it. Update: the cord gave out after a year of using it 1-2x/week, sitting still at my laptop and keeping it in its original box. It cuts in and out with the slightest movement of the cord (mostly out).

Wow... Just Wow... What Else Is There To Say About The Fifine K053... This Mic Met, Exceeded, Then Exceeded The Already Exceeded Sound Quality you Would Expect From A Mic This Size And For This Price. The Mic Came With An Instruction Manual, The Mic, And That's About It, Pretty Straightforward, Good One Fifine! When Buying A Mic, You Want The Best Quality You Can Get, Without Breaking The Bank. I'm Sure Many Have Considered This Option, But Have Probably Not Gone Through With It Because They Think It Will Sound Bad, Well No... Those People Missed out On An Incredibly Good Deal, For An Item That I Think Is Just As Good As My Blue Yeti! When I Plugged This In, It Automatically Showed Up, Props To Fifne For Not Requiring Any Drivers Upon Plugin. At First I Didn't Hear Myself From The Headphone Jack, But After Reading The Manual, I Fixed The Issue. I Then Heard, A Sound I Did Not Expect. I Heard My Voice. Just My Voice. No Hissing, No Background Noise. Just. My.. Voice... I Know What You're THinking, It's Just A Clipon Microphone Smaller Than A Quarter, How Good Can It Be? Oh Well My Friend, It Was Astonishing To See How Much Microphone They Put Into Such A Small Body... Now, One Thing To Note Was That The Sound Of The Mic Is Fine When Clipped Onto A Shirt, But It Definately Sounds Better When The Top Of The Mic Is Pointing Towards your Mouth. The Only Thing I Can Say Is This. If You Are Looking For A $10 - $40 Clipon Mic, Or A Mic For Gaming, YouTubing, Or Just A Mic In General, I'd Say This Is The One TO Go With... I Love It.

So I was sent this microphone for review. I generally that I have found most of the ones offered are omni directional and are mono. My current microphone for my audio and video editing workstation is a USB Marantz Professional MPM-2000u. It is a great mic and I love it however it is one of those mics that meant to be left at a recording area. So I have been consistently looking for a good option for recording when I am out and on the go, but still need decent audio quality. I was able to find that with the Fifine mic. So let's get into the pros and cons Pros: +Cost- For the quality of the mic the cost is extremely good and affordable +Sound Quality- the background noise that this picks up in much less than many of the other lavalier mics I have used in the past. +USB plug and play- This mic worked out of the box on Manjaro Linux (which is my recording workstation OS) this also was plug and play in Windows 10 as well. +Headphone jack- attached to usb adapter for microphone. +Build quality- is quite solid nothing bad or questionable about that +Works on Linux- Being that all my YouTube content is made on Linux this is a HUGE plus to me that I can not even begin to put into words. Cons: Size- the mic will be very noticeable it is much bigger than those offered by say Audio Technica Sound quality- I know I put this as a positive, but lavalier microphones, from my experience, of ereally really high audio quality cost way too much. So while this picks up far less background noise than say a other lav mics it still does pick up some. So overall my impression of this microphone has been extremely positive. This has been used for gaming and chatting on Mumble, Discord, video conferences on Zoom as well as in my a/v production for YouTube. It has unchained me from always having to record strictly at my studio and has allowed me to have decent audio quality on the go at an affordable price. That level of freedom at this price and quality is really hard to find much wrong. Well done Fifine, you have earned yourself a new customer who is looking forward to your other products.

I've been looking into several brands of microphones and their video reviews. The sound I've liked the best was from lavalier microphones. I know a lot of people are going for these big microphones that sit on your desk in front of you when you speak on video, but I wanted something more minimal and richer sounding. I also wanted something that I could use on my PC and Samsung Galaxy Note 8. I thought of trying a microphone with a TRRS jack but I felt I could get higher quality with a USB mic with a soundcard. So far, I am really happy with this microphone. Helpful tips: For my PC, this works through my USB port and also through an adapter on my USB-C port. The clarity was much better after I changed the mic volume to 70% and stayed 6 inches away from the mic. If you want playback through a PC, you have to change the sound settings to have the output be your soundcard/speakers, otherwise you can only hear the playback through the headphone jack in the microphone monitor jack. For my Android Samsung Galaxy Note 8, I plugged the USB into a USB-C adapter, making sure the direction was correct - you will know because the blue light on the unit will be lit. Since I couldn't control the mic volume, I found it worked well if I was about 1 foot away from the microphone. When I am not talking, there is some white noise when recording through my phone, but not on my PC. (This product is not advertised as working with a smartphone, so it was a bonus that it did.) To reduce any noise from the microphone moving around on my shirt, I clipped it onto a swiveling microphone floor stand. For now and for the foreseeable future, this is exactly what I needed.

I'm used to bad audio. My first microphone was a GE 98950 that would capture an Category 7 earthquake every time the desk was touched. As I grew older and began to spend gradually more on better quality microphones, I began to appreciate the importance of good audio. In turn, the progression in technology has since proved you can miniaturize considerably the aspects of a microphone and make it work for you. Unfortunately, this one's just not for me. The audio is not at all bad, in fact, demonstrations of it from fellow reviews make it seem great. However, don't be fooled. Unless you've got the boom mic and the secondary pop filter to boot - it's not going to give you professional sound. I own a iPhone Xs which is used for occasional video taking; I wanted to pair it with this microphone (using a USB adapter) for vlogging. While the onboard microphone in Apple phones are not the best because they're softer and tend to blow up the background noise, they won't chafe and rumble with every movement of the lapel like this one would. So, why 3 stars? The 3.5mm port on the adapter was defective. I plugged the device into both my phone and my PC (where it would supply more power) while having headphones plugged into the port, and neither had any real-time monitoring as advertised. However, I could still do non-real-time things like play back my videos or listen to music on it. I already paid for a dongle to do that. 😉 Such a shame, returning it. May it find its way back to a happy home!

I've been using regular microphones for the last couple years and never tried a lavalier mic. First of all, this is a perfect microphone to experiment with since it's not very expensive. But on top of that, it feels very premium. The microphone does not feel flimsy, it feels strong. The clip also feels very solid. The setup process is basically nothing, you just plug it in. That's it. The audio quality is alos very good. I did notice that it picked uo a lot of background noise, but if you use it with a program like Audacity, you can block out most of the background noise and keep the good stuff. (Audacity is free by the way) I really like how Fifine added a headphone jack into the USB. However, I wish it would've added some extra functionality. I believe you can only listen to the audio after you've recorded it. I though that with the headphone jack, you can listen to a preview of the audio as you talk, but that's not the case. It's not a huge deal for me, but that would've probably save some time for the people who commonly change settings for their recordings. Great product overall, I would definitely recommend it! Pros -Build Quality -Audio Quality - Setup Process - Headphone Jack Cons -Background noise pickup (easily fixed with Audacity)

Sound Quality (5/5) The most crucial aspect of any microphone is its sound quality, and the Fifine Lavalier doesn't disappoint. It captures audio with remarkable clarity and precision. The microphone consistently delivered crystal-clear audio. Ease of Use (4/5) Setting up the Fifine Lavalier was a breeze. It's a plug-and-play microphone, so you simply connect it to your computer's USB port, and you're ready to go. The long cable length gives you plenty of freedom to move around during recordings . Build Quality (2/5) The microphone feels solid and durable; however, I encountered a significant issue with the microphone's reliability. Regrettably, my positive experience took a turn for the worse after about 10 minutes of usage. The microphone suddenly stopped working, and no matter what computer I tried it on, the issue persisted. This unexpected and seemingly irreparable malfunction was extremely disappointing. I tried it an hour later, and now it's working again (For whatever reason) I have no clue how long it will stay working. I guess time will tell. As of now, since it stopped working out of the blue, I don't trust it much,but I hope I'm wrong. If, in the next few days/weeks, it remains working and stable, I will change my review to five stars. But then again, it's already giving me a bad taste Value for Money (3/5): Considering the remarkable audio quality but taking into account the reliability issues I encountered, I have to reassess the value for money. If the microphone had maintained its functionality, it would have been a steal, but the recent malfunction has left me with reservations. At this point, I don't recommend it yet!

This is a high performance microphone and as soon as I started using it, I received compliments on how clear and lifelike my voice was on Zoom calls, etc. It's also just cool to have a nearly invisible lapel microphone, it looks very professional compared to a headset. The size of the USB dongle is fairly large but there is a good reason. It has a 3.5mm output jack and a USB sound card built in. The audio out uses echo cancellation, so that means you could use large desktop speakers with this microphone and not experience echo. (I use wired earbuds, so I can't confirm the anti-echo performance. But the audio out jack is very handy for my wired earbuds.) The only downside is, as a high-performance microphone, you need to handle it carefully. Do not throw it around like you would a pair of earbuds. I did 2 things that broke it: (1) I removed the foam windscreen so the mic would be less visible in calls, and (2) I dropped it on the floor quite violently by mistake when I was grabbing it by the cable. The next day it did not work. However, it turns out Fifine has excellent customer service for a (presumably) Chinese company. I explained the situation and they shipped me a replacement in a matter of days. I like this microphone so I will take better care of it this time!

Excelente micrófono, buena sensibilidad y cancelación de ruido, buen clip y buena respuesta de frecuencias; lo he usado en casi todas las plataformas de video conferencia y da buenas prestaciones

O microfone tem excelente qualidadese usado da maneira correta. Tira bem os ruídos do entorno. Uso no obs com filtro de ruídos e o som fica perfeito! Para vídeo aulas, videoconferências, conversas on-line, é perfeito.

Good recording sound

Leptop um için aldım çok pratik ve kullanışlı bir ürün.Normal PC dede İem kulaklıkla kullanıyorum.Ses kalitesi benim için gayet yeterli. Güzel bir ürün herkese tavsiye ederim

It's a bit chunky and the cord is a bit stiff but the sound is great for a home mic, certainly a huge improvement over the mic built into a webcam or laptop
