XLR/USB Podcast Microphone-TANK3

📦 Specs: Mic type: Dynamic cardioid Dual output: XLR & USB-C Built-in gain knob & mute button Headphone jack (zero-latency monitoring) Dimensions: ~6.7" long, 2" diameter Weight: ~400g (hefty feel) --- 🧠 Objective Impressions: The AmpliTank T3 is a budget broadcast-style mic that checks boxes others miss at twice the price. The fact that it offers XLR and USB-C in the same body gives beginners and pros alike a flexible upgrade path. It supports 24-bit/48kHz resolution over USB and works plug-and-play across Windows, macOS, and even Android with OTG. The gain dial is smooth with no digital stepping, and the mute button is touch-based—silent, but no tactile click. The internal pop filter works surprisingly well, and the metal body feels reassuringly solid. 🎧 Audio Test (Subjective): Straight out of the box, USB mode gives you that classic broadcast warmth with a slight low-mid bump—great for voiceovers, podcasts, or YouTube. It can sound a bit muffled compared to higher-end mics like the Shure MV7 or Rode PodMic, but EQ can clean that up fast. Noise rejection is strong. I recorded this in a non-treated room with AC humming and a kid watching cartoons in the next room—still clean audio with zero distractions. It shines best within 4–6 inches, but doesn’t fall apart if you lean back slightly. 🎮 Gaming & Streaming Use: For Discord, Twitch, or casual YouTube sessions, this mic easily blows past any headset mic or Blue Snowball-type USB devices. It makes even low-energy commentary sound confident. --- 💬 Final Verdict: A beast of a budget mic that lets you grow into XLR while staying USB-friendly. Clean sound, tough build, and flexible for any creator setup. 🔖 HiTekHQ – Honest Gear for Gamers and Creators.

The FIFINE AmpliTank 3 is an absolute steal for what it offers. The build feels solid and professional, and the sound quality is crisp, rich, and clear — perfect for streaming, voiceovers, or podcasts. I love that it has both USB and XLR options, giving me flexibility to upgrade my setup later. The built-in controls for volume and gain are super handy, and the RGB lighting adds a nice touch to my desk. Overall, it looks, feels, and performs like a much more expensive mic. Totally worth it!

I’ve been using the Fifine AmpliTank 3 microphone for a little while now, and I’m honestly impressed. The build quality is excellent—everything feels sturdy and well-made with quality materials, not cheap plastic. It has a really sleek and minimal design that looks great on my desk. I especially appreciate that there’s no bulky external pop filter needed and no overly flashy RGB lights—just a clean, professional look. Performance-wise, the mic delivers clear and balanced audio that works great for voiceovers, calls, and recordings. It picks up my voice well without grabbing too much background noise. Setup was quick and easy, and it works perfectly with my current setup. If you’re looking for a reliable, great-sounding mic that doesn’t scream “gamer” or overload your space with LEDs, this is a fantastic option—especially at this price point.

First appearances: solid build quality, looks good. Made of a substantial chunk of metal with the exception of the plastic you would expect to find on knobs and the dense foam-rubber friction pad that holds the mic at your desired angle. Seems rough and tough and should be able to survive even clumsy people like me. Functionality: I have only used it briefly, doing a basic functionality test by recording myself in MS Camera; and then in a chat with Maya on Sesame AI. The sound was very clear. I had no issues with plosives despite the lack of a foam buffer (there is supposedly an internal one), of course your p-pops may vary. I am using it via the USB connection and Windows 11 recognized it with no problem. I don't currently have the capacity to test the XLR connectivity as most of my sound gear is in boxes at the moment. I jacked my headphones into the back and the monitoring function checked out. While jacked in, I took the opportunity to scream into the mic and did not encounter any clipping, so get crazy and Karaoke your little heart out! In USB mode, both of the knobs on the side of the mic are active. One controls the mic gain and the other the volume for the audio output. Both work smoothly. My choice rested solely upon the advice of others making recommendations online (I watched a whole mess of videos). As such, I do not have any personal basis for comparison to other microphones out there. All I can add is that my YouTube research panned out and I am perfectly satisfied with what I received.

There will be a product review comparing this model with the Blue Yeti from Logitech. This was tested with a usb-c to three usb-A dongle connected to the iPhone 15 Plus. See the video at ccttechnology on YT. Overall this is a good microphone with great connectivity. If you have a set up needing XLR there is no reason not to try this product. The product was recognized by the iPhone with USB dongle. The downside of the product arises when you test back to back sound quality with the Yeti under exact same conditions, there is a noticeable lower audio output. With that being said a person willing to work with the audio in post production could increase the gain in the video. The quality of video was full and little to no echo nor hollowness. For the value of the product compared to the Blue Yeti, it is roughly $40.00 less and that is a hefty savings. To be honest I thought my Yeti I purchased in 2016 from Amazon would have been far inferior to this newer product. I was surprised to say the least. If money is not an issue, then you should consider the Blue Yeti. If you don't mind increasing gain in your video editing software, then you might find the FinFine Tank3 great alternative. Regarding the buttons and volume control, the controls were easy to access and the movement was smooth with just the right amount of resistance in the nob. Size wise, it was on the same weight and nearly same height as the Blue Yeti; however, it was much more slender and the single side arm attachment was a nice bonus. Overall the product was good, just not great for audio purposes unless you are on a budget and have to cut costs where you can. I ended up buying another Yeti to have as a permanent boom mic and will leave my white 2016 mic on the desk for informational content as opposed to on hands content with computer tech. Thanks for reading to the end.

I have used this with the USB and with XLR connections. The mute button only works when using the USB cable. I primarily use the XLR connection. The Amplitank is in fact a tank of a microphone. Its weight helps make it feel more premium. The black finish is consistent and high quality. For the cost, I would argue that this likely could trade blows with some premium microphones from big name brands. The sound quality is great, I run mine though some filters using OBS and virtual audio cable to run that processed audio into Discord/games. If you don't want to do all of that, and especially if using the USB connection, the microphone is plug and play and serves as as great budget microphone without compromises.

Equip with a USB and XLR input makes for a great versatile setup. Whether it is a quick plug and play or for a streaming/podcast setup, it can do it all. The physical mic/headphone volume control is nice. The physical mute switch is great so you do not accidentally mute your set while you adjust the mic. Great value for money and I would recommend it for the clarity and the durability in the build quality.

This is a surprisingly nice microphone. Made of nearly all metal construction, it looks and feels like a quality device. It sounds quite good for podcasting, or social media productions and works well with either a standard audio interface or via USB connection. On both the computer, and the Android smartphone it is immediately detected and operational without any need to adjust settings or install any software. It offers strong rejection of sounds off axis, keeping your podcast sounding clear without much background noise. Be aware that you will need to supply a microphone stand, for desktop use fifine offers a couple of nice desk boom arms (BM66/BM88) that would be a perfect companion. It has typical control of plosives, and I would recommend a foam pop filter. I'm quite happy with this microphone, and consider it to be an excellent value.

This so far has been the kind of product that has made me rethink how I do research when tech shopping. There are so many reviews talking about how good particular expensive microphones are, and then along comes the FIFINE Dynamic Microphone. It is half ~ maybe a bit more than half as much as I paid for my last "professional" microphone, while STILL being made mostly of metal, while *also* having the option of XLR OR USB, and *also* having a mute button (my last one did not). It **ALSO** has volume knobs for the mic gain and headphone jack (yea it has one of those too) But how does it sound? It literally sounds better than every other microphone I have ever owned. I find it hard to describe something so subjective, but, more voice sounds good, clear, there is no buzzing or hiss, and picks up my voice from about a meter~ away from my face. This is all with the USB input, by the way. Very happy with it!

Really impressed with the build quality of this mic, it genuinely feels premium, almost like it’s built to last forever. The design lives up to its "Tank" name and looks fantastic on the desk. What I really like is its versatility. It works as a simple plug and play USB mic for everyday use like online meetings and calls, but also supports XLR, which makes it suitable for more professional setups like studio recording or music production. That flexibility adds a lot of value for money, especially if you plan to upgrade your setup over time. I have used a Fifine mic before (K669B), and that experience was great too, so I already had confidence in the brand, and this one didn’t disappoint. The visual mute button is a nice touch: red for mute and green for unmute, very intuitive and helpful during calls. Just keep in mind that this feature only works in USB mode, and not when using XLR with an audio interface. Overall, this mic delivers solid performance, great build quality, and excellent versatility. Definitely a strong recommendation for anyone looking for a reliable, good looking mic with both USB and XLR connectivity.
