Microphone upgrade question!

So I was wondering if it was worth upgrading my Samson Meteor Mic (USB)? I was looking at the Blue Yeti "Black Out" edition, or the Audio-Technica AT2020. I don't do anything special but sit in calls with my buddy's on Skype but I hate headsets. The Samson mic picks up a lot of my background noise, and its alright quality. Thank you for your time!

As long as they can hear you fine I'd say it's fine, spend your money somewhere else (WARNING: may involve going outside :P )

Wouldn't bother personally, just use push to talk

Push-To-Talk is a wonderful thing.

Why not go for a dynamic microphone like the Audio Technica 2100 or the Rode Podcaster? I mean, the only drawback I can think of is that you'd have to be close enough to it, but they don't pick up as much (they barely pick up static/white noise or even background noise) and the 2100 is cheap.

My Grading System on headphones: SS= 98-100, S= 95-97, A+= 91-94, A= 86-90, A-= 81-85, B+= 76-80, B= 71-75, B-= 66-70, C+= 61-65, C= 56-60, C-= 51-55, D+= 46-50, D= 41-45, D-= 36-40, F+= 31-35, F= 26-30, F-= 21-25, Tier 1 crap= 16-20, Tier 2 crap= 11-15, Tier 3 crap= 6-10, Dahell tier= 1-5, No hope= 0                 Nevertheless, "Enjoy what you enjoy without starting some silly culture war" - Lachlanlikesathing. If you Recommend the M50/X in a thead, I would probably send you a dick pic.
