The best USB microphone
By Kevin Purdy and Lauren Dragan This post was done in partnership with The Wirecutter, a buyer's guide to the best technology.

After 75 hours of research, interviews, and making audio professionals and regular humans listen to voice samples from 25 different USB microphones, we've decided for the third year in a row that the Yeti by Blue makes your voice sound the best with the least hassle. If you're an enthusiast, you might be able to get better results by putting time into a different, likely more expensive microphone, and more elaborate equipment (see our USB audio interfaces guide), but the Yeti puts the fewest hurdles between you and an ear-pleasing sound.
