Sound Quality
When it comes to sound quality, the RØDE NT1 5th Generation Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone is the clear winner.

The RØDE NT1 5th Generation Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone has both XLR and USB outputs, making it compatible with a wide range of devices. The Shure MV88+ Video Kit with Monfroto PIXI Mini Tripod, on the other hand, only has a Lightning to USB-C cable, so it may not be compatible with all devices.
