A good USB microphone can be the easiest way to start getting great sounding audio. The VO-7U is Deity's first USB mic, so let's see-ity how it sounds and how it compares to some other popular options in its price range!
Without putting too much of my own opinion into the video, I think one thing that’s important to note is that the VO-7U seems to have a highly “EQ’d” sound straight out of the box. This is great for someone who just wants to plug in a mic and have that “broadcast sound” but it might not be ideal for someone who wants a more neutral mic tone to add their own EQ on top of.
This video is not sponsored, but Deity did send me this microphone for free to review. I'm not obligated to make a video or say anything specific about it. Read my Ethics Statement about objective reviews, sponsored content, and brand partnerships:

✴ Thanks to my awesome wife @heatherjustcreate for helping me test out the mic!
