Is a dynamic or condenser mic better for podcasting?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, dynamic mics (Shure MV7+, FIFINE AM8) are strongly preferred for podcasting because they reject room noise and untreated-room reflections. Condenser mics like the Blue Yeti and HyperX QuadCast 2 S are more sensitive and capture more ambient noise — fine in a quiet, treated room, problematic in a typical home office.
