Should I choose a dynamic or condenser USB mic for podcasting?

Reviewer consensus

Reviewers and specialist communities repeatedly note that condenser mics like the Blue Yeti capture more detail but also pick up far more room noise and keyboard/desk sounds. Dynamic mics like the Shure MV7+, Fifine K688/AM8 series and Maono PD200W reject background noise better, which is why they are the more common recommendation for untreated home rooms.
