Best Cheap Microphone For Podcasting

Best podcasting/voice-over microphone ever! No background noise, even when people are loudly talking in the next room. The audio is so beautiful, that I hardly need to do any work retouching it. This has streamlined my workflow and saved me hours and hours of time.

If you know, you know. This microphone is the best you can get. I use it for podcasting as well as some video work. Invest in your equipment.

Best microphone that i ever have used.

Best and cheap!

Great microphone for podcasting, enhance the presence for a better deep voice.

Best microphone in the world !

I bought this to use for podcasting on my iPhone.  Its a great microphone for someone like me who doesnt want to mess around very much in DAW after recording, since you can change the compression, gain, and 5 channel EQ in the microphone itself However, and this isnt Shures fault (hence no rating deduction), this microphone does not work in VOIP on iOS mobile devices.  Skype, Discord, Anchor, FaceTime, even phone calls, it does not work.  Just a heads up in case you were buying this for that reason.

As a retired author with an interest in podcasting and an earlier career in broadcasting, I am thoroughly impressed with the Rode Podcasters professional sound quality and production ease. A former broadcast professional, like me (1970s network radio) or a retired amateur, like me, will be happy with this microphone. Not really a complaint but this Rode microphone is heavy. Sturdy, but heavy.

My wife needed an upgrade for her online coaching/podcasting. This microphone ticked off all the boxes. It sounds great. a headset attached to it sounds great. No back lash or ghost sounds. Looks good, Nice and heavy. Great value for the money!

Off and on for a decade, I thought about making a Podcast. So when I saw this microphone at a good price, I decided to give it a shot. I record of an iPhone 6s Plus in GarageBand, then use iCloud to move the files to the Mac, where I use GarageBand to do final production. The Polsen microphone gets the job done. If I really do get into Podcasting, I will get a second microphone that is USB. For just playing around to learn about Podcasting, this is perfect. Would also be great for any audio voice recording - say interviews for print journalism or to record living history type memories.
