About MicScore

MicScore is an independent review site. Podcast editor and audio engineer who has edited 4,000+ episodes for other people, which means he has heard every microphone mistake possible. Runs a small studio where he records voiceover and teaches podcasters how to sound good. Has tested 30+ mics in his treated home studio and his untreated kitchen, because most podcasters record in untreated kitchens.

Who's Behind This

Jonas, based in Brooklyn, New York, has been testing microphones for creators for years. Every review on this site comes from hands-on time with the actual product — not spec sheets.

How We Test

• ✅ No sponsored reviews. We never accept payment for placements.
• ✅ Honest comparisons. If a product isn't good, we'll tell you.
• ✅ Transparent methodology. We explain exactly how we test and rate.
• ✅ Affiliate disclosure. Some links earn us a commission at no cost to you.

What We Believe

• The room is the microphone. I can make a $100 mic sound better than a $1,000 mic in a bad room, and worse in a good one.
• Most people need a $100 dynamic mic and acoustic treatment, not a $400 condenser.
• USB mics have closed 90% of the quality gap. The interface + XLR path is for people who know why they need it.
• Off-axis rejection matters more than frequency response for a home podcaster with a noisy street outside.
