Well, I've been pondering about good microphones for a while now, I just need something that sounds great and is relatively cheap, doesn't have to be enthusiast grade but I'd like it to sound Natural and not computerized with my voice trailing itself when I speak and reliable. Any suggestions? Would be used for Gaming + Voice Chat on web calls.
 
Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser Microphone with Cakewalk Sonar LE is under $50 for a refurb on amazon. Seems decent.
 
Eh, I'll consider that one but that guy who was using it in the Amazon V-Review made it seem like the mic was a bit awkward. Looking at Vid reviews on youtube, seems quite nice actually....I kinda wished it was an audio input instead of USB or both.
 
I like USB mics better, usually no volume issues and I don't need to worry about bad soundcards.

I'd go with whatever sounds best lol, I'll get this mic later on if no other posts come up :)
 
I have the Blue Snowflake condenser mic and it sounds excellent for the price. Great podcast quality. It was only $35 when I bought it from Amazon.
 
I've got a Blue Snowball. Great mic, no problems with it whatsoever, and sounds great.
 
That seems like a good deal on the Samson. That's a nice little microphone.
 
I've been using this USB logitech mic for almost 6 years. Never ran into an issue with it or any complaints about volume.

Still using the same one but with 3.5mm jack, also for 6+ years, never had any problem and the sound is pretty nice for its price

I have the blue snowball but I prefer using the Zalman Zm-Mic1 more. I usually clip it onto my headphone cord when I'm gaming and I use the blue for video conferencing.

Second the Zalman clip on. For the $ it's a epic mic. I feed mine into an X-Fi HD so that may play a small role in the clarity I experiance.

I'm looking for something that stands on my table, not a clip, but thanks for the recommendation :)
