Streaming Dynamic Microphone (K658)

So I bought this microphone to have as a way to talk to my friends while playing games, and it is extremely solid. Keep in mind I make music, and have been making music for about 4 years now, so I have a pretty good idea of what gives good audio, and what doesn't. I saw this mic, and immediately I compared it to my SM7B with it's design, and I decided "why not?" This microphone is literally a 10/10, the best bang for your buck. I'll make a Pros and Cons list below Pros: - Price - Included shock mount (so it doesn't produce a lot of sound when you hit it) - Dynamic (gets rid of background noise, and it's actually better at this than the SM7B) - Has great build (everywhere except gain knob) - Attached pop filter that works extremely well - Good for podcasting Cons: - Plastic gain knob - Touch sensitive muting (could be a pro, but often times I didn't even realize I muted my mic) - (EXCLUSIVE TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS PRO RECORDINGS) Not very high quality mic, doesn't pick up a very full range Honestly I really do think this is the best possible starter microphone. Whether you're using it for podcasting or gaming, and to an extent for recording music, it will work extremely well. If you're considering this microphone or any other budget starter microphones, like any of the blue microphones, I think this one is a much much better bang for your buck. Comparing this to the SM7B (because that's the most popular microphone like this) I still think this takes the cake. The SM7B is known for having that Broadcaster sound to it because it pushes out the lower ends and the mids of your voice to give it that compressed sound. So how does this microphone stand against that? Still amazingly well. This microphone also pushes lows and mids, but it does it through a built in equalizer. It gives that exact sound you want if you're wanting a SM7B. Overall, great microphone, great price, just buy it.

I went from a blue snowball, to a blue yeti, and now I’m here with this microphone. I got it open box from Amazon since the Amazon price didn’t match the website price but it did after I bought it unfortunately. Anyway, this is by far the best USB mic on the market if not top 3. I did my research and watched tons of review videos and there was one that stood out. It was a blind comparison test between like 5-6 microphones? The best sounding one I was convinced there was no way was this mic and that I had to do research on that microphone that I just heard. WELL, turns out, that astonishing crisp audio I heard WAS actually this mic and so my purchase was immediate after listening to that. I definitely recommend this mic to people that want superb noise isolation, have a boom arm, and sit in roughly the same place while streaming or gaming because this mic captures great sound but only to what is directly in front of it. If you get even a few inches away from your usual, you’ll sound much more quieter to your audience. It is just plug and play so it was easy to setup. I played around a little with the gain and in computer sound settings and I got it just right. OH, FORGOT TO MENTION THE TOUCH TO MUTE. IT IS AMAZING. My blue yeti was notorious for having this awful clicking in button to mute and if that wasn’t bad enough, it stopped working!! So that’s the main reason for my switch. The touch to mute is so sensitive, you don’t even have to touch it. It’s almost like it’s motion sensitive. My finger is legitimately a millimeter from the button and it activates. You’ll have lots of fun with it, I promise. Audio is a smidge better than my blue yeti. (Normal blue yeti) Please do yourself a favor and have a boom arm for this thing because the attached shock mount is plastic and isn’t too great but it actually does do wonders when it’s on a boom arm. On the stand it comes with…. not so good.

I have used many mics for over a decade, both dynamics and condensers, for various uses. Recording guitar, vocals, drums, etc. I've also recorded field ambient audio, podcasts, and audiobooks. What I have to say about this mic is this: This may not be the best mic available, but for the price, it is unbelievably good. If the price on this mic was $250/$200 (which I think is a reasonable price-point) then I might be little harsher with my review. The negative thing I can say about this microphone is that the windscreen does not halt popcorn peaks, so I had to put a pop-filter in front of it. After doing that, the audio is impeccable, even before editing. After editing, it sounds professional, easily comparable to the Shure MV7. Even at max gain, there is no obnoxious hiss or buzz. I've used the K658 for about 5 months, for podcasts, zoom meetings, audiobooks, and for various instruments like flute/djembe/harmonica. Before this mic, I was using a Yeti X, which I purchased for $180. I was perfectly happy with that microphone, but after using the K658 for a few days, I took the Yeti X off my boom arm, replaced it with the Fifine, and the Yeti X has remained in its case for 5 months straight. Under $100 for this? Get this microphone! You won't regret it!

Um dos melhor microfones, som limpo e muito bom, da pra ajustar o volume da sua voz no microfone, além de um led lindo, e funciona em touch para desligar o led e mutar o microfone

Me gustó mucho Esme micrófono y más por poder regular la salida de audio además, y llega a reducir el sonido del exterior deja dl solo el audio de la voz y se puede mejorar con algún programa externo

Çooook mükemmel 👍🏼

مفهوش غزل الضوضاء نهائي منصحش حد يشتريه +غالي اصلا

Excellent.
