Summary
- More convenient, portable, and straightforward, USB microphones are praised by many for their audio quality, with some arguing that they are on par with their XLR counterparts.
- A flexible option, USB microphones are perfect for people who work from home or need a microphone on the go.
- While offering excellent results, XLR microphones are considered to be more upgradeable, as they offer more room to adjust and customise for the user, and are an industry standard due to this reason.
- Professional recordings often still require the use of an XLR microphone; however, with the quality that USB microphones offer, they can be a suitable substitute in many cases for most users.
- The market offers both USB and XLR options for both dynamic and condenser microphones, and selecting between them ultimately comes down to desired customisation and portability.
