Heya!

Recently got $100 for my Birthday, only thing missing from my build is a good microphone to pair with my Sennheiser 558's.

I'm also a digital Artist and have gotten requests to do some streaming/videos of me working so this will come in handy for more than just gaming in the future.

I could and may still buy a Focusrite but at the moment, I want to use this on my PS4 as well so USB is the way to go for now.

I guess I should have been clearer, my question is... is the headphone jack on USB microphones worth the extra expense?

Also what other mics besides the 2020 and Yeti are worth looking into?

none, those are the best options in my opinion. For your other question, it depends for me I like to listen to my voice directly from my microphone so it was worth it for me.

Alright, thanks man, I think I'll get the plus just to be safe.
