well u get what u pay for basicly......
but dont go out n by some...Head Set Mic..or a Mic With a Clip for like 5 dollars...u gotta be willing to spend some money....
try this go to a Music Store...and Ask For a Audio Tecnicha Dynamic mic...they run from 49 to like 200...but they dont need power...all they need is a 1-8 inch addaptar..to go into ur computer...thats prolly ur best bet...cuz Condensor mics are the best u can get..but then u gotta run into a power source...n those mics alone cost like 200 at the cheapest

no...at least get a condenser and a pre-amp...

its not worth wasting money on dynamics...unless its a pimp one like the Shure SM58 - but that needs a preamp too.

any audio head with one shred of credibility is going to tell u to get a condensor mic and a preamp. It's more important to get a good preamp rather than spend money on an expensive condensor with a shitty preamp.

hhahahah postman do you "read the mail" you supposed to be deliverin.

if you a broke ass kid who doesnt know the beauties of pushin drop $10 on a labtec computer mic. plugs right into any soundcard slip a sock over that joint and you done. i use that and listen to my quality its actually decent.

for decent dynamic get a shure sm58 prolly run you $150

if you can drop like $400-500 get a shure ksm27 and a decent preamp.

im prolly gettin like a akg c4000 iono yet my re ups goin into clothes for now.

ha i use the sock trick too...but if you got a good music program.
all you need to do is compress the voice and add effects to it and you can make it sound like you was in a booth...

um its called a hobby. and a cheap dynamic mic would be way better than a freakin headset for the same price. and u dont have to have a $300 mic to have decent quality. You can get a condensor for as low as $50. Nobody's spoiled. I work for everything I get. and we're not gonna tell someone to get a headset microphone and say itll be str8 cus we think he might not be able to save a few bucks for a real mic. We're givin audio HELP, not ways to be cheap.
