Fifine K669 Dynamic Mic Review / Test (vs. XM8500, SM58, Podmic, SM7b, U87)

HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/k669d Today I review a budget dynamic mic which costs only $37, the Fifine K669d. This is a very basic microphone with no switches or buttons, and a single XLR port on the rear. It offers a very bright sound which can come across a bit too boosted and a bit sibilant. It doesn't do a great job with shock rejection, plosive rejection, or keyboard rejection, but for the price it's acceptable.
