I encountered the problem how to choose the best microphone when I decided to start my own podcast channel. Just like purchase other electronic products, I searched as much information as possible before making decision on which mic should I go for as a newbie. Browsing around the reviews and all the specification of different products didnât actually help that much.
Comparing varied brand and microphones, I cleared up my greatest demand: I need a microphone that has professional performance in sound processing so that the listeners donât get bother because of the bad sound quality, which is I suppose the basic requirement of a microphone. At the same time, it has to be easy to use. This is really important as you wonât want to distract yourself by the complicated set-up of the equipment but focus on your podcast or creation.
Whatâ more important, the price should lay on my limited budget range.
Iâve added several microphones into my cart to compare on amazon and listed as following:
