Included is a mic clip, mini tripod and extension, windscreen, as well as USB and XLR Cables. So, what this means is, if you want to plug it into a standalone mixer or interface, no problem, or want to connect it to a computer via USB, or an IPad (with an adapter cable, not included)? Again, no problem. Staring with the mic itself, not only is an XLR connection there, but a mini USB connector and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Now, this isn’t high-end stuff, but it’ll get you started.

Samson has put a great little microphone kit together that covers everything above at a reasonable price. Even smarter is finding reasonably priced items. And a lot of musicians sometimes bleed over into YouTube, Twitch, and podcasting, so a lot of the gear can easily be used in a different application, if you already have it. Both of these use USB/XLR so you have a choice if you just want the plug and play or if you want to make padaan sa interface for sound tinkering.Smart musicians multi-task their gear a mic that works great live, should work great in the studio. However, if I changed your mind on getting a dynamic mic instead, look up on Samson Q2U (cheaper than AT2020) and Audio Technica ATR2100X. I've watched reviews about them when I was still searching for good mics back then, and IIRC it's on the AT2020's price point.

With that being said, for USB condenser mics, look up on Rode NT-USB Mini and Audio Technica ATR2500X. USB mics are better choices for beginners since they have built-in power source so you don't need a phantom power anymore, and it is plug and play. And if you're getting a true condenser mic with only an XLR as its input, you need an audio interface with 48V. Just remember, if you were to get an XLR mic just remember the audio interface thingy. However, if you're set on getting a condenser mic, pros of that are, it's more naturally sounding than dynamics and it's more sensitive to sounds (which is also its downside). And of course, not to forget the broadcaster-like sounds, haha. Dynamic mics have good background noise cancellation and they handle loud sounds well (like the shouting at the mic during hyper moments). For podcasters, esports casters, radio DJs, they mostly use dynamic mics and not condenser mics. Since you're a caster, the sound of the mic matters to you. XLR to USB, XLR to 3.5mm or any other workaround won't work. Apart from the AT2020, you also need to buy an audio interface (wag yung cheap dahil sayang lang ang AT2020 mo kung panget ang interface mo) with 48V phantom power to power up the mic because it is a true condenser mic. If you want to buy an AT2020, I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you need to discard your V8 soundcard because it does basically nothing. This is a detailed explanation of what I've said in the other comment. Also its audio quality is so good at the moment, I'm finding it hard to justify spending for an XLR + audio interface as I don't need accuracy (music-wise), just for discord. I'll let your ears decide I'll link two videos cross comparing the maono, the blue yeti, and the AT2020. What I have is the Maono AU-PM461TR, propped up sa scissor arm. Right now, I cannot afford the xlr route but I have done all the research I can do, except the stated above. An XLR microphone is an investment, thus needing to buy the microphone + the audio interface. You have to get an actual audio interface, I only know the focusrite scarlett lineup (I haven't researched much into all the other brands and products).
