6 BLUE YETI NANO
For great audio without all the bells and whistles, Blue has you covered with the Yeti Nano. The brand of choice for professional podcasters, Blue's latest mic has a smaller footprint than the original Yeti, fewer recording options (cardioid and omnidirectional), and a plastic finish. However, it has enough features for the majority of podcasters, streamers, and musicians.

5 NZXT CAPSULE MIC
This microphone has a quick-release stand, making it ideal for recording on the go. It's stylish, well made, and easy to get up and running. There's a USB-C connection on the bottom of the mic, plus an easily-accessible mute button and a light ring that lets you see when you're broadcasting. However, it only records cardioid (front of mic), so it's not ideal for interviews.
