There are entry level mics that are USB, but professional mics have XLR outs with a hot, cold, and ground out, i.e. balanced output. You then need some sort of an audio interface like a Scarlet 2i2 to convert and connect it to your computer. An interface can also provide things like phantom power which condensers (a type of mic) require.
Generally speaking sound cards for regular computers aren't very good, so I'd bet the pi's is probably close to non-existent. You'd want some sort of DAC/ADC anyway. For listening purposes I've used a Fiio E9(or 7?) dac, and now I use a schiit stack.
