Audio Technica ATR2500x-USB Review / Test

Today I review the ATR2500x-USB, an affordable USB condenser microphone. It records up to 24-bit 192khz, has a USB-c port, and has zero latency monitoring. In this video, I compare the mic to the Razer Seiren Mini, AKG P120, Samson Q2u, AT2005 USB, Blue Yeti Nano, Rode NT USB Mini, AT2020, LCT240, and more.
