Hey Jow Forums, I've been wanting to get a good quality microphone for basic VoIP purposes but the wiki says nothing about them and i don't know any other tech pros to ask. What's a good, cheap (preferably
Good microphones

would those work with headphones? i'm assuming i'd have to detatch the earpiece part for that.
but do those actually not sound like shit? i'd be willing to pay $15 more for non-shitty sound if they do

i've been eyeing this which is $18
is this worth it or is it really better to use some $3 earpiece?
Andrew Russell
anyone? a lot of people care about headphones here but nothing about microphones?
Alexander Jones
any additional thoughts? so far I'm going towards that $3 mic that Jow Forums seems to reccomend but i'm worried its going to break quickly and i wont be able to replace it fast

Even the cheapest large-diaphrag microphones beat any headset. Try to find one with usb connection if you dont want to buy an audio interface to use it.

2 years going and works fine if you're skypebabby or playing games. I have 2 spares just in case.
Sebastian Rodriguez

If you want a dynamic xlr mic, get the GLS Audio ES-58
It's almost indistinguishable from a Shure SM-58 and almost as durable, but cost $70 less.
If you want an xlr condenser, get something from MXL, if you're strapped for cash.
If you want usb, just get a blue like all the other plebs.
>Pic related, muh battlestation, equipped with the discontinued MXL Black Widow. I also have 2 ES 58's, one SM 58, some mic I can't remember, and a Shure SM 7B that I have to repair. Interface is the Akai EIE pro.

If you want USB, I recommend Rode over Blue. They have less options with just the Rode Podcaster and NTUSB, but both are excellent. They appear to be leaving the USB market too, since there are so many "cheaper" options. Even Razer is stepping in.
NTUSB released at 300USD, but I picked one up for 120USB a couple of months back. Look around for one if you're not using XLR.

I picked up a Samson C01U for about 110 AUD, one of the best decisions of my life. I was gonna go for the AT2020 but I decided not because I was told the 2020 picks up more background noise. That being said, the C01U picks up a lot. It's got very solid construction, and great quality.

Just get a cad u37

Get the Boompro

find a used snowball mic. the quality on those is above decent. It is a condenser mic after all.
and then move on with your life
