I’ve recommended the Blue Microphones Yeti for years after using one myself for several years, and it’s still a great balance of quality and price.īut as Marco Arment points out in his microphone mega-review, there are a lot of other good options. They’re easy to use and convenient-just plug it in to your computer and start recording. The USB/XLR choiceįor most podcasters on a budget, the right microphone is almost certainly a USB microphone. I reviewed five low-cost USB audio interfaces in a search to find the best of the many options. Unfortunately, there are so many options that it can be dizzying.


Fortunately, there are good options to be found even if you’re on a tight budget. If you’re podcasting or recording voiceovers for video, you need a good microphone.
