The Best USB Mics for Podcasting

Send a question for 'Ask Megan'

Hey, Podcasters! 

One of the most common questions we hear is also one of the most important: Which microphone should I use for my podcast?

The right mic can improve your sound and remove a lot of unnecessary friction as you get started!

To help simplify the decision, we put together ​a new video​ that walks through our top five USB microphones for podcasting. 

Each pick is tested and ranked with real audio examples, so you can hear the differences for yourself and understand what you’re getting at each price point.

We compare beginner-friendly microphones with long-term upgrade options and explain what actually matters for sound quality, room noise, durability, and flexibility.

If you’re recording without a dedicated microphone right now, we also show how ​Magic Mastering​ can enhance audiofrom a phone or earbuds to make it sound polished.

Watch the ​full video​ to hear the mics and see our complete rankings!
