Fifine USB Microphone, Metal Condenser Recording Microphone for Laptop Mac or Windows Cardioid Studio Recording Vocals, Voice Overs,Streaming

I bought it out of desperation because my mic stopped working after getting the laptop repaired. I've been eyeing this for months anyway, so all the more reason for me to finally click that place order button. Expected delivery date was March 10 but it arrived today, 2 days after I placed the order. Really nice. And I even thought it's broken when I tested it countless of times. Seems like all I need to do is to switch that volume wheel and IT'S WORKING. Really fine. My voice sounds really clear. It arrived before my last class. My students told me my voice sounds clearer and better with this. I love it so much :>Thank you very much!

Sounds great. Works with Linux.

Purchased this not being sure it would work with Linux. Was pleasantly surprised when it did. Tested fine on Feren OS, Lubuntu, and Mint. Just plug it in and go. All were 18.04 or newer. Use it primarily with Audacity. The current version in Store (2.2.1) resulted in a lot of popping in recordings. Had to download latest AppImage to remedy that. Know that you must switch the input device upon first use. I was used to it automatically doing that, but this is my first USB mic, so maybe that's not the case with these. The recording quality is excellent. Without loud background noises, the resting waveform is perfectly flat. I did some recording with an open window next to me. It can pick up some loud cars and insect/wildlife noise (those can get loud where I'm at). But ... MorePurchased this not being sure it would work with Linux. Was pleasantly surprised when it did.

It can pick up some loud cars and insect/wildlife noise (those can get loud where I'm at). But in my opinion, under normal circumstance, vocal recordings don't even require post processing. Other than removing a loud breath or cat jumping on your desk, etc. The mic holder has a standard 5/8 inch fine thread. This was handy for attaching to my boom stand so I don't have to be right up to my desk. The mic's 6 foot cord allows some leeway there. Even tried it with 10 foot extension cord and worked flawlessly. Wasn't sure if this would require a dedicated USB port to power it. Tried it on an un-powered 4 port hub and it worked on that. Overall, I don't think you can beat this mic for the price.
