Buying a microphone that isn’t USB means you could also use it if you’re recording a live podcast (because it can be hooked up into a PA system, too), without a laptop, or even to use as your vocal mic if you’re a singer! Recording More than One Microphone Simultaneously You’re only spending a hundred or so dollars, but that amount of money is being applied to a very narrow purpose. Once you buy a USB microphone, there’s really not much else you can use it for besides podcasting and maybe demoing some music.
Since the hardware is all built-in, all you need is the mic, headphones, and a laptop and you’re ready to record-which makes it super easy to do on the go!

With a USB microphone, it’s basically plug-and-play, so you don’t have to worry about multiple cables and settings to get yourself ready to record.

USB microphones are typically under $200, and they are the only thing you need (besides a laptop and headphones) to record a podcast. There’s a super obvious benefit to using a USB microphone over a “regular” microphone, and that is COST. Now that you know more about these two mics, let’s talk about the upsides and the downsides to using them for podcasting! Benefits of USB Microphones Budget
