Well The max i can spend is around 200 and under so the Neumanns is out of the question and i can only buy from amazon. The blue Yeti pro has the option to use an xlr which i thought would hold its own value. And yes i do plan on using the microphone for singing, instruments, voiceover/podcasting/live streaming/YouTube commentary etc. Blue claims it can do all of that plus more.
Since i'm a first time buyer of a standalone microphone i thought why not try out the blue yeti pro.
