How to choose a gaming microphone?

✓USB vs jack: USB mics have built-in analog/digital conversion, often better quality than a headset's jack mic.
✓Cardioid pattern: captures mainly sound from in front of the mic, rejecting background noise. Ideal for gaming and bedroom streaming.
✓Pop filter: reduces plosive 'pop' sounds (P, B). Built-in on some models, otherwise budget €5–10 for an accessory.
✓Mount: articulating arm recommended for streamers to free up desk space. Basic desk stands suffice for gaming.
✓Adjustable gain: adjust sensitivity without software, very practical.

FAQ
