Our Verdict

The ZealSound K66 is the cheapest way in this category to get a clearly better voice than a laptop or headset mic, at about $35. It is a USB condenser microphone that plugs straight into a PC or Mac, and it includes adapters for iPhone and Android, which the Blue Yeti does not. It has gain control, a mute button and a headphone jack for monitoring. Over 8,000 ratings at 4.4 stars show it is a dependable budget pick. As a condenser it picks up more room noise than dynamic mics like the FIFINE AM8, so it works best in a quiet room and positioned close to your mouth. For calls, casual streaming and first podcasts it is plenty. If you need to cut out keyboard and room noise, the FIFINE AM8 is the better buy for about $20 more.
