Are XLR mics better than USB?

A USB mic connects directly to the USB port on your computer, while an XLR mic requires an external recording interface or a digital I/O. Neither option is inherently better than the other. In fact, many USB mics use the exact same components as their XLR counterparts, so the sound quality is comparable.

Should I get a USB or XLR mic for streaming?

USB mics are ideal for solo-streamers and gamers on-the-go, but if you want to incorporate additional pro audio gear into your set-up like multiple microphones, audio mixers or outboard signal processors, press SELECT and choose an XLR Microphone in the EQUIPMENT window.

USB Benefits

Because USB mics process sound internally, they act as their own sound card when attached to a computer. This means that a USB mic will produce the same quality output regardless of the computer's hardware specs, so they'll work better than analog mics on computers with a cheap sound card or none at all.
