This microphone is quickly becoming a standard for podcasters. It can be used without a mixer or preamp by connecting it to a computer with a USB cable. If you want to use it with a mixer, it also has XLR output. Both the USB and XLR outputs can be used at the same time.
The mic's sound is excellent. The podcaster's microphone of choice - and justifiably so - is the Heil PR40. It's the one that Leo Laporte uses on his Internet and radio shows. If you can afford a PR40, buy one. However, if you want to save some money and get a fabulous value, buy this mic. It's cheaper than a Shure SM58, a Blue Snowball, or Audio Technica AT2020, and it sounds better.

I bought 2 of these mics to use as guest mics on my podcast and I'm floored by their sound quality. I have a Shure SM7B mic costing 7 times as much as this mic and although I like the Shure a little better, I'm sure that this is because of my investment. The ability to work with both USB and and XLR is another great plus.
The sound quality is amazing for a mic in this price range and in my opinion is equal to other mics costing at least triple the price. Unlike another rater, I haven't had any problems with my mics using the USB or a mixer.
This mic is cheap enough to buy as just a Skype mic, but also good enough to work well with podcasting, and by this I mean head and shoulders over some other cheap mics like the Blue Snowball. Also, because it is a dynamic mic it also cuts down on the background noise.
Please don't feel that this is some sort of starter mic, it isn't. Even for triple the price it would still be the best sounding mic in my humble opinion. Also, my Mackie mixer has no problem powering this mic and does so easily, plus it works great on USB mode.

The microphone is responsive and clear, but don't confuse yourself about the USB connection. Just because the mic has USB out does NOT mean it's a USB microphone. This microphone requires drivers to work, and hence it won't work on systems you can't install drivers on, eg. the Xbox and other various electronics. It may seem minor, but it's half of what I bought this mic for. Other than that, it's a great mic, but it's silly that something so simple needs drivers.

I tried several different mics. This one is the one! It sounds good and I don't need to be an engineer to use it.

Perfect for streaming
This mic has excellent quality and is perfect for using on a live stream. Only issue I ran in to is that you need to use microphone boost to get the volume where it needs to be.
