USB mics that make you sound like you mean it — for calls, streams, and podcasts.
The plug-and-play condenser that gets first-time streamers and remote workers off their laptop mic: one cardioid capsule, no drivers, no knobs — just a clean USB upgrade that has sold for years on simplicity and price.
On the market since 2011
The USB mic that defined desktop streaming: a three-capsule condenser with four selectable pickup patterns (cardioid, omni, bidirectional, stereo), onboard gain, instant mute, and headphone monitoring — the default "good mic" recommendation for well over a decade.
On the market since 2009
HyperX's streaming flagship refreshed: a USB-C condenser with a built-in shock mount and pop filter, tap-to-mute with a status LED, four polar patterns, and the customizable RGB the original made famous — a self-contained desk mic that needs no boom arm to start.
On the market since 2019
The compact cardioid USB mic that became the value pick for streamers and callers: tap-to-mute with an LED cue, a flip-and-fold stand for tight desks, plug-and-play on PC and console — and the most-reviewed, highest-rated mic in the category.
On the market since 2020
Razer's ultra-compact supercardioid condenser: a tap-to-mute sensor with an LED indicator, a built-in shock absorber, and a footprint small enough to disappear on a desk — a tidy, focused USB mic tuned to reject room noise for calls and streams.
On the market since 2014
