Microphones
Mics I use (or have used) for chatting and ASMR. Choose the one(s) that fit your needs!
An inexpensive and totally underrated ASMR mic, with unique triggers gliding props/textures along the mic's surface. Note: Need to purchase the Blue Yeti XLR adapter if using an audio interface.
Blue Yeti Pro USB/XLR Condenser Microphone
I used this when starting as a VA/ASMR roleplay (talking), and now I use it for chatting streams. Make sure to get a pop filter windscreen!
RØDE NT1
A great 3DIO alternative. Cheaper with incredible quality, can attach to a tripod to get the perfect height. Get 10% off with code: MADCAT - use my link!
SR3D binaural microphones for all of your professional audio recording
Audio Equipment
Most ASMRtists I watch use an audio interface with XLR.

Having a PC that can handle your load while running quietly is extremely important for ASMR streams and recording, especially if you plan on doing ASMR gaming!

Peripherals
I'm a catgirl VTuber so these are ESSENTIAL! Make sure you listen to your ASMR (with headphones) live/as you make it!

It's important to listen back to your ASMR content with headphones and speakers to see if your audio is loud enough and shining through the way you want!

My favorite monitor!

I can't choose just one keyboard (typing ASMR fanatic), so feel free to take your pic from here!

Visual ASMR
As a VTuber, VR with a 3D model is a great opportunity to incorporate visual ASMR into your streams. More of a nice-to-have than an essential.
