Buy Condenser Microphone (720p 2027)

Many users have noted how much a condenser mic can transform their content, though there are warnings about shipping and setup:

Condenser mics are prized for their high sensitivity and wide frequency response. They excel at capturing nuances in vocals and high-frequency instruments that dynamic mics might miss.

Unlike dynamic mics, most condensers require 48V Phantom Power to operate. If you aren't using a USB-specific model, you will likely need an audio interface like the Focusrite Scarlett Solo.

Because they are so sensitive, they pick up background noise easily. To get the best results, they should be used in an acoustically treated room to avoid echoes and ambient hum.
