The first product we will be looking at is the FIFINE TECHNOLOGY K668.
The challenger is the Samson Meteor.
A deeper look at the features of the FIFINE TECHNOLOGY K668
Next, we have a one of FIFINE techs cheaper bus powered plug and play models. It has a compact size and comes with its own customized tripod stand that has reinforced joints to stop it slipping and rubber feet to prevent desk reverberations from affecting the captured sound. It is adjustable to a good degree and supports the mic pretty well.
A good look at the Samson Meteor
Next up we have an entry from Samson which we have highlighted in the past for its innovative design concept. It is very well-fabricated, stylish USB studio mic which has a decent weight to it, a retro wider form and a sturdy protective grille.

| WHAT OUR TEAM THOUGHT | |
It is an ideal budget choice for voice applications, it is advertised as having a wide frequency response and being ideal for singing but we think this is a little unrealistic. It is incredibly impressive for a cheap choice. |
It makes for an affordable alternative to many high-end options on the market and does a good job at competing. The audio capture is accurate and fit for a range of uses, the zero latency monitoring is a very valuable asset. |
