Our take on the Audio-Technica AT2020USB+
The Audio-Technica AT2020USB+ is a USB condenser microphone with its own headphone jack, a solid pick for a streamer who wants delay-free monitoring. At a tracked $184.89 it sits in the lower half of its $176.83 to $199.97 range since July 13, 2026, so waiting may save little.
The headphone jack has a volume control, plus a mix control that blends your mic with audio from the PC. That blend lets you hear game sound and your own voice without lag. Audio-Technica lists a 16-bit converter at 44.1 or 48 kHz. Retailers rate it 4.7 across 4,790 ratings, one of the larger sample sizes in this group.

We do not lab-test hardware. Ratings and review counts come from the retailer listing and are labelled as such; stream-quality figures are conservative planning budgets from our published model. Prices are tracked at build time, not live, and were last refreshed 2026-10-22. How the numbers are derived: methodology. How picks are chosen: editorial policy.
