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!
