It’s a great mic! I have replaced my Rode Podmic with this for my channel, and am so pleased with it I no longer desire to get a SM7B! Rich audio from highs down to the lows! Great video.
SM7B has more lower end but overall I will go for K688. I think I like even more MV7 (and great software with it), but price is making magic. Also Superlux D421 is literally almost the same as SM7B, but I dont have interface, so...
just bought this mic with a scarlett solo i noticed that i need to have at least 75% gain on the scarlett for the mic to work well. is that normal? im speaking 3-4inches away from the mic
That sounds normal. The Scarlett is a budget preamp with modest output power, so I personally might run it closer to 80 to 90% I guess, but we all speak at different volumes
@@aphrodence02 looks like a budget preamp. Never heard of it before. You'll probably need to run it at 100% with the K688, and even then, it might be a bit quiet. I can't recommend it personally, but it might work.

I purchased one, and I can't begin to tell you how happy I am I did. I highly recommend this microphone to anybody because, for $80, it's amazing.
Another quality review video!👍 I truly appreciate your informative and helpful microphone comparison part!
the FF K688 sounds really really good! Thank you for this .
Thanks for the great review! What is the length of the K688 pop filter please?
I'd say ~85mm, end to end
Thank you for your video. I know which works best for me now. I go for a FF K688
