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 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 JackCons-Background noise pickup (easily fixed with Audacity)

Overall, The K053 Is a great piece of hardware that really deserves more praise. It performs really well, is budget friendly, and I would highly recommend it to anyone for any kind of Sound and Audio Recording. Its awesome how Fiffine packs so much value into one small package. Again it’s that Plug and Play easy Design that really makes this mike a fantastic option for any beginner or someone with more experience. But most of all, it has a responsive and smooth sound quality. Don’t be decieved by the K053’s size because although it might be tiny, this microphone is Mighty! -Reviewed By Daryle Spiller

The media could not be loaded. The Fifine technology K053 is a usb lavalier lapel microphone that can connect to your computer directly using a usb port. If you have an otg cable, this mic can also connect to your phone or even some cameras. It can record up to a bit rate of 16 bit at 48kHz and has a headphone port for low latency live monitoring of around 30 milliseconds. Unlike other 3.5 mm lavalier microphones, this mic has a built in audio interface so the audio will sound consistent no matter what device you plug it into. The audio quality is pretty impressive for such a cheap device and has a very low noise signal. A low noise floor is very rare with cheap microphones which makes this even more impressive. The capsule has a cardioid pickup pattern which is a very typical pattern for lavalier microphones at this size. The frequency response is from 50hz to 16 kilo hz which again, is a very typical response for lavalier mics. The mic can work directly clipped to a shirt but the frequency response is wider when you speak directly in front of the capsule. This is a very directional mic and should be able to reduce background noise or any unwanted sound. The USB adapter lights up with a nice blue LED whenever power is plugged in. The blue led blinks whenever the device is being recorded which is very helpful if you have the usb adapter recording from far away. The clip itself is very tight which is good because then the mic wont come off. One annoyance with the microphone is the giant usb adapter which can cause bends to the USB port. But if you use it with an otg cable or be careful with it, then that shouldn't be a problem. For otg support, I have tested this device on both iOS and Android and they all work with no issues. For android or iOS users, you will need to get an external mic in order to control the gain manually. If you are on desktop however, you can just go into the sound settings. Overall, this is a very impressive mic considering its price and how easy it is to use. It obviously won't sound as good as a professional studio mic but that's not even the point of this microphone. The point of this microphone is that its small, super easy to use, super portable, and cheap, all features that professional studio microphones don't offer. And if used correctly this can be a very good mic for vlogs, interviews, short films, documentaries, talk shows, and you name it.

This Microphone is a great Budge Mic for anyone that is looking to improve audio quality, its small form factor and the fact that it is a USB Mic means it is very portable and very accessible for many devices, form PC's to Phones and Tablets it is a decent choice. I personally was actually surprised by the sound quality, it was crisp and clear and had very little background noise to it. I tested it both on my pc, and on my Moto Droid Turbo using a USB adapter, whereas on the PC the sound was good, it sounded a little flat but that just may be that I am used to a Dynamic Range Mic running through a mixer for most of my video recording needs. It really shined when I hooked it to my smartphone the difference between the onboard microphone and the k053 was night and day, the onboard mic picked up an almost overbearing amount of background noise from my house, that I myself can not even hear, whereas the K053 was pristine.In short for its price range it is a great buy, and I would definitely recommend it to my friends if they asked about a budget mic.USB Lavalier Lapel Microphone,FIFINE Clip-on Cardioid Condenser Computer mic plug and play USB Microphone With Sound Card for PC and Mac.(K053)

Look for something quick and easy a USb Mic? This will keep mic works really well. If you're not using voice processing software it's a little harsh sounding. Tons of volume. Not necessarily a good thing. Overall though it's a good value. I would use it for gaming because it would override the sound of the game as far as I can tell. Sound quality is loud and harsh without processing so I give it a three. It's not a bad value for the money not an excellent deal but not a bad deal. I'll do a video review of this later use in the mic just to give you an idea.If you found this helpful please click the helpful link below I would today.
