@MediaActivist Hi, Jay. In what limited experience I’ve had with the kind of cables you describe, the quality is usually poor. I would recommend something like this:
It provides the same functionality (XLR-to-USB), but also headphone controls and computer/mic mixing. Pyle is a decent entry-level brand, too. (e.g.; a similar device from Shure is 120% more costly)
Hope that helps.
