KarlieTheKloss 700 Posted February 1, 2015 Well, my birthday is coming up ( ) and I am writing down a "wishlist", and I am not sure what microphone (Like, a really good one) I should pick, And i want a really good one. I am looking for a mic that costs under 100$, and is reliable, and have clear audio. Any suggestions?

EvilJackCarver 349 Posted February 1, 2015 I used a bloody RockBand mic for a good long while. Worked great, crisp audio, no discernible buzz; but kept falling off the desk; one day I accidentally stepped on it going to something else in my room and broke it.One thing to note about audio: It's notsomuch the mic itself you get (although the mic itself plays a large part) but more so the environment you're recording/transmitting in. If you run the mic in a room with little to no furniture and hard floors, you'll get a nasty echo effect, whereas if you get a room with lots of furniture and a carpeted floor you'll get better quality than the room mentioned at the start of this sentence.tldr: Don't overlook other factors: awesome mic + crappy space < decent mic + OK spaceAddendum: This video helped me back when I started. It might help you as well. 2 KarlieTheKloss and ineseri reacted to this Quote Hide EvilJackCarver's signature Hide all signatures If you are replying to something I have posted, you may wish to quote me for faster response times.My personal inbox is not the support forum.

KarlieTheKloss 700 Posted February 1, 2015 Okay, I have been looking around and the Samson Go Mic seems like a good option too me. Anyone that have it and tell me about it?

Lee10 746 Posted February 1, 2015 Okay, I have been looking around and the Samson Go Mic seems like a good option too me. Anyone that have it and tell me about it? I would say look at the reviews (Amazon, ebay etc) if they're bad, then don't buy it, but if they're mostly positive, buy it. Besides the reviews are always funny to read. 1 Rareroblox reacted to this Quote Hide Lee10's signature Hide all signatures "Micheal, Micheal Micheal, what would you do without me?" - Trevor Phillips.

Now I got use for my old socks and lamp stand!

Custo 543 Posted February 1, 2015 Custo you... I don't know.Joke aside, I do use an Xbox mic to chat on PC. Not even joking, I think the quality is so bad it's amazing.But that's my only mic experience, so you know. Take it as you will. 2 DisharmoniousUnmutual and KarlieTheKloss reacted to this Quote Hide Custo's signature Hide all signatures [center][url="http://www.youtube.com/user/Runner335"][img]http://i.imgur.com/CBYih.png[/img][/url][/center] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DisharmoniousUnmutual 212 Posted February 1, 2015 I recommend that you pick up a webcam and use that as a microphone. Make sure you put it real close to your mouth to get that static(y) Hyde effect. 1 Custo reacted to this Quote Hide DisharmoniousUnmutual's signature Hide all signatures Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
F1rzty 51 Posted February 2, 2015 I use the Blue Snowball mic :) Only thing i ever bought from the Apple store.. but it's reasonable priced, and the quality is crisp! And the design is, well... a snowball :) snip: store apple com/us/product/TF238LL/A/blue-microphones-snowball-usb-microphone Quote Hide F1rzty's signature Hide all signatures -Firstyminator Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelV 742 Posted February 2, 2015 I use the Blue Snowball as well. I enjoy it a lot. The audio is very clear, and it's very well built. If you have the extra money, I'd go for the Blue Yeti. I've seen a lot of Youtube commentators using that, and it sounds great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OSHPTROOPERSHORTY 95 Posted February 2, 2015 When i DJ on my channel, I use a Turtle Beach headset. It sounded great, until the wires twisted up and ripped. It did that on its own.

SwiftJustice 47 Posted February 2, 2015 Well, I use a simple Trust Desk Microphone. Cost me like €8,00. For the few times I Skype and voice chat with close friends, it's great. The quality is quite amazing for the price. Only thing is that the mic feels really plastic-y and fragile. But regardless of that, as long if you don't throw it around all over the place it should be fine. The recording quality is great.

SkillfulCorpse 919 Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Blue Snowball is a great mic for the price. You can pick it up for $70-$110 AUD I have a pair of Sennheiser PC 310 GAME Headsets, and the mic is surprisingly good for a budget gaming headset (Check my channel for quality) Only downside is the ear cups are really small and don't fit over your ear. Hope this helps :) Edited February 4, 2015 by MrRandomCapital Quote Hide SkillfulCorpse's signature Hide all signatures SkillfulCorpse YouTube Channel My Mods Join my Discord for support! https://discord.gg/dD2fPzA Don't PM me for help.
