Podcasting Condenser Microphone from Xiaokoa

I have been a podcast host now for over three years; my first podcast, “Social Media Sunday with the Delaware Blogger” was produced by AAU Global Productions Media Group on Blog Talk Radio. I then started another podcast, the Delaware Blogger Podcast on Anchor FM and am now also the host of the What’s Up Next! podcast for Elite Conversations.

Podcasting Condenser Microphone from Xiaokoa

When I first started recording I purchased a Yeti Microphone but never used it, instead spoke directly into the speaker of a landline phone. It worked well for me and for my guests and I never thought about making a change until we moved into an apartment. The Yeti mic is sturdy, yet heavy and bulky.

I packed up the Yeti and placed it into storage until we move into our “Forever Home”, and I no longer have a landline so I am using my Smartphone. It works well for solo recordings but there were some glitches in the “Recording With Friends” feature on Anchor FM, so I stopped…too many dropped calls.

I decided to use Zoom to pre-record the interviews and then upload to Anchor and so far so good. However, I also wanted to use a microphone for on location recordings as I had planned to record from the alumni tent at DelState’s Homecoming and this model was recommended by a friend.

I ordered the Podcasting Condenser Microphone from Xiaokoa on Wednesday and it arrived on Friday and for the price of only $20.99, it was definitely worth the investment!

​​​​​​​Lightweight and portable makes it perfect to travel and easy to pack and carry in my tote bag or even my purse.

The Xiaokoa Professional Condenser Microphone, Plug &Play Home Studio microphones works with an Iphone or Android as well as when recording on a PC Computer. It is also perfect for Podcasting with limited space such as in a small apartment in the bathroom or closet and the desktop MIC Stand has a dual-layer acoustic filter.

I also previously purchased another larger podcasting microphone which I plan on using when we move and I have my larger office space back. Once I use it, I’ll come back and give you a review on that one too.
