Many of those pricier options offer high-definition audio recording, but according to our experts and our tests, most people can’t tell the difference in the results. Some microphones made for voice and music professionals cost more than twice that. Among the models we looked at, a majority of the microphones with our desired features, the highest recommendations, and broadly positive reviews fall between $60 and $100. Price under or around $100: Because a USB mic exists in the realm between built-in recording and the expensive world of studio-level microphones, the price should be in that middle range, too.
