Our take on the RØDE NT-USB
The RØDE NT-USB is a USB condenser microphone with a metal body, for streamers who want studio style pickup with a simple connection. It comes with a tripod base and a carrying case.
A mic stand mount is included, so you can move it from the tripod base to a stand or arm. Noise reduction is listed as a feature, and the listing names laptops, tablets and audio interfaces as compatible. Retailers rate it 4.7 across 12,693 ratings. On a desk it plugs straight into a PC, so OBS sees it as a standard audio device.
- USB condenser with a studio style capsule
- Tripod base, stand mount and case included

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.
