Best microphones

Audio matters, and I’m always going to recommend a real mic over relying on a random headset mic if you can swing it. This list is where I keep my favorite microphones for streaming and content creation at different budgets.

Pros

+Options for multiple budgets and use-cases
+Better quality than most headset mics for commentary

Cons

-Some mics may require extra accessories (arm/interface) depending on the model
-Pricing can fluctuate
