Ordering new Audio gear, need help.

[TheGrim123321]

     So with those cyber Monday deals I can't resist upgrading my current microphone and headphones. My current mic is one of the cheap ones you clip on your shirt, not the best. My headphones are Monoprice Hi Fi Dj Style Acoustic Pro Studio http://www.amazon.com/Monoprice-Acoustic-Detachable-Durable-Headphones/dp/B007SP2CO2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448489011&sr=8-1&keywords=Monoprice+headphones&tag=linustechtips-20

 

So my budget over all is $160 however the lower the better. As for the microphone I want something that will sound good as I plan to start YouTube. I also need something with a stand as I will need to put it behind my monitors as there isn't room in the front.

I also like a pure black, or a black/red color scheme. My setup is Black/Red but pure Black is fine.

 

 

Thank You in advance.

 

 

Current products I'm looking at include but not limited too.

I really like the (Used to be until Fnatic bought out) Func HS 260 headphones with detachable mic and cable, helps with storing.

I'm not a fan of built in mics.

Ahh, it sounds really decent compared to my $1,200 mics that I use in my studio. Just my 2 cents though. Try to get some really good headphones then use a mod mic

Noted, I'm going to wait for more suggestions then compare

Or you could do what I do in my studio to record vocals.. Get a desk clamp mic holder thing (Have no idea what it is called for the desk versions) and get a shure sm58 and a XLR cable then get a cheap USB interface with XLR input and you will be set.

I'm mostly looking at USB.

Yeah that's why I included the interface also xlr will give you the best quality since you said you were looking at doing YouTube.

Fair Enough, I'll add it to my comparison chart. Thank you.
