The Top 10 Best USB Microphones on Earth

Last Updated: February 7, 2019 By Sean

We review the 10 best USB mics in the market

Nowadays, USB microphones are becoming more and more prominent each year. Although we don’t think they’re quite at the level of replacing the XLR connected condenser microphone to audio interface setup, we know of numerous singers, podcasters and other vocalists who use USB microphones professionally. It’s easy to use because you receive the power straight from your computer and plug-n-play it with merely the USB (it stands for Universal Serial Bus, if you were wondering) cord — less hassle and they’re relatively inexpensive, too. You can argue about which is better for hours, but when it comes down to it, USB mics can and will work regardless of the use. Let’s get down to the top 10 best models to see what you have to work with.

What is the best karaoke microphone?

Nothing can beat the feeling of singing your heart out shamelessly while your friends watch and laugh (both with you and at you!).

Last Updated: May 3, 2018 By Sean

Our review of the top best condenser microphone under 200 bucksWhen it comes to microphones, choosing the type you need is the most important. We’ve seen many dynamic vs. condenser microphone debates, but if you’re here you’ve already determined that you need the latter. To review, condenser microphones are best used when recording vocals; however, I’ve seen them used countless times when recording other instruments as well, such as acoustic guitar, violins, drums, and more — they’re basically perfect for recording any instrument you can think of. I’ve even heard of musicians using them to perform with, although in our best mic for performing live we recommend going with a dynamic microphone then.
