Microphone Advice

[Kensharma]

Hey everyone;

Finally investing into a proper mic and I am trying to decide between a bunch of different USB mics within my budget of $120 (before Tax and Shipping).

Here is a link to the site I will be buying from so you can check out my options as I could use some advice:

Which, in your experience, is the best bang for your buck?

Let me know your opinion below. Thanks!

P.S., I do not want the yeti.

All of them are way too overused, that's why I don't want the yeti. It's great value, just wanna be different for this. See post above.

@ Astros; Not looking for a headset, I use corsair vengeance 1500s with 7.1 surround sound, just need a dedicated professional mic.

I am considering a snowball cause it doesn't push my budget as much.

They`re over-used because they`re soo great for their cost

I know, I know.

But take a look at the ATR2500? It's like 5-10 bucks cheaper then the Snowball on this site and has the same specifications as the AT2020 (It's the updated generation of it), which surpasses the snowball.

I would recommend anything from Audio Technica if you are not looking at Blue Microphones. AT2020 or anything above that should be good. Or alternatively you could look at an MXL 990, which is another great microphone.

Yeti mics are a work of God. No really. They are amazing. You can probably find one on Amazon for $100.

the blue snowball is pretty decent, rode have a couple of cheap ones that are defiantly worth every penny!

Thoughts on atr2500 from AT?
