Why is USB mic bad?

Is Rode NT USB good for voice over?
– Rode NT-USB Not the best microphone on the paper but it sounds surprisingly good at voice-overs if you get really close to it when reading. The sound card is built-in in the mic and pop filter is premounted. The USB audio is only 16 bit so be careful not to record with too low levels to get a good result.
How do I choose a good USB microphone?
Most USB mics have a cardioid polar pattern, meaning they pick up sound from the front, so they’re great for making podcasts or voiceovers. However, if you’re looking to record vocal or instrumental music, or want a higher quality sound for your podcast, you’ll want to go with an XLR mic.
How much should I spend on a vocal mic?
$100 – $250. To purchase a decent quality professional microphone, you’ll likely be looking at a price point above $100. There are plenty of great dynamic, lavalier, and USB microphones in this price range.
