Should you upgrade to XLR? Or is a USB mic just fine? (XLR vs USB audio quality)
92In this video I'm giving my honest thoughts on XLR mics and why they matter but are also potentially a pain to setup.
I am of the opinion that an XLR microphone is an important piece of kit if you're a YouTuber, content creator or streamer. These mics deliver the best sound, but they're also very expensive.
