Yeti Nano USB Microphone

I use the truthear reds IEMs for Valorant and a Yeti Nano mic. I’m sure you can get a cheaper mic if needed but the IEMs are great for their price imo. Other commenters are right, you’ll get better advice from a different subreddit as your question has little to do with Valorant.

Brother, you’re comparing a $100 USB mic to a $300 XLR mic. The Rode is better, if you need a straight answer, but honestly, the Blue Yeti will still do a solid job. Also, I’m not sure where you are as a streamer. If you’re just starting out, don’t overspend. A lot of people drop a ton of money on gear before their stream earns anything, then end up selling it all a few months later. Start with what you have and upgrade only when it makes sense. Just my two cents from someone who streamed for five years as their main source of income.

Blue yeti nano. I have this mic and I am slightly biased. but a great mic. find it on sale and itll be easily sub $100

I currently use a blue yeti nano. The mic used to be pretty good (6/10) but I think I may have damaged it or dropped it on its side and now it's not very good (4.5/10) Because of this I've been looking into a new mic. I'm pretty broke so I won't be buying the mic I actually want, the Shure SM7dB (8/10)... But through my research and listening to video of people testing mics... I'm personally going to buy one of these two Fifine mics. The model I think I want more is the k688 (USB 7.5/10, XLR 8/10). If that's not available I'm going to go for the AM8 (USB 7.5/10, XLR 7.8/10). I'm pretty sure the fifine mics are both under $150... Good luck in your search!

Buy a standalone mic like blue yeti or hyper x or something along those lines.
