Trying to buy an affordable XLR mic for podcasting

Suggestions.md

I'm trying to upgrade from my Blue Yeti (link), because I got a Onyx Blackjack (link) for Christmas and want to move to an XLR-based microphone.

I was hoping to sell my Blue Yeti & shock mount, and maybe throw a little bit more money at it, which means I'm definitely looking at under $200. Trying to find the best fit for a sub-$200 podcasting mic, XLR-based. I would love any new recommendations or votes for against any of these mics. Thanks!

MXL V67G - $88.95 - Amazon

Shure SM58 - $97.89 - Amazon Struck out--dynamic response is too poor

Audio Technica AT2020 $99.00 Amazon

MXL990 Condenser Microphone - $101.99 - Amazon

Blue Spark - $199.00 - Amazon

Blue Yeti Pro - $209.86 - Amazon

Rode Procaster - $229.00 - Amazon

Heil PR-40 - $327.00 - Amazon

Shure SM7b - $349.00 - Amazon

(Note that these are all affiliate links, just on the off chance someone buys a $330 mic on my recommendation :D )

(Note that the Spark & up are there because I'm considering saving up for a while and/or buying used)

I'd recommend selling the regular yeti for a yeti pro. It will allow you to take advantage of better mic pres. But you can stick with the USB for quick recording, screencasts, or VOIP calls.

I would prefer a t.bone SC 1100 with a pop filter

@rtablada Sweet, will check out the Pro!
@mroedel Never heard of it--I'll check it out. Thanks!
@themccallister Yep, I love Podcast Method--but his guide, last time I saw it, was USB only. But thanks!
