Is a $25 Microphone Any Good?
Paul Wilson
I've been an eLearning designer and developer since 2005. In 2015 I started my own eLearning design company. I began creating Adobe Captivate video tutorials to help promote my business through my YouTube channel at https://youtube.com/captivateteacher. My intention with my YouTube videos was to attract attention from organizations looking for a skilled Captivate developer. This strategy proved successful as I've worked with clients worldwide, helping them build highly engaging eLearning solutions. In addition, my YouTube channel presented another benefit of attracting aspiring Captivate developers to seek me out as a teacher. I now offer online and onsite training on Adobe Captivate, teaching users the skills to build engaging and interactive learning.

Summary

In this video, I unbox and review a FIFINE USB desktop microphone, model number K052 and pose the question can a $25 microphone actually be good enough for recording narration for eLearning, used for online training, or live streaming.

Hey, it’s not really an Adobe Captivate video but you might need a microphone to record your narration for your eLearning course. Here is my review of this inexpensive $25 microphone.

Thanks, even though your post is 2 years old the K 052 is still available on Amazon, of course it is a tad more expensive but I think this will be a good starting point for me 🙂

Thanks!

You’re welcome. I now use a different microphone than the Blue Yeti so it isn’t unreasonable to start with one microphone and upgrade to another in the future.

Thanks for posting this. I always recommend to get the highest quality audio you can afford for anything your do! It is a hugely underestimated piece of eLearning production.
