  • Dynamic capsule rejects background noise well
  • Consistently praised as a 'never need to upgrade' mic

Why we recommend it

If you want one mic that will never make you feel like you need to upgrade, this is it. The USB/XLR hybrid design is a genuine killer feature for streamers who might eventually want an audio interface.

This is the mic that I personally use, and I don't think that I'll ever need to upgrade again.
