AT2020USB+ / headphones?

[mister_krister]

Should I invest in an Audio Technica USB+ mic? I always liked the idea of an external mic, mainly gonna be used for communication, skype, ts etc. Maybe streaming in the future.

 

If I was to buy the mic, what headset is recommended? Or should I just go for a gaming headset? I like to have quality sound, but again the headset can't be much more expensive than the mic, around the same price.

I wouldnt go for the USB at2020, go for the XLR version and get a pre amp like this one.

I plug my headphones into that mixer also.

Around same price as the mic, which is $180 for me.

I don't have any intention to spend that much, a usb version should be good enough and the sound is really good.

Open or closed headphones? What sound signature do you want (what do you want to have more focus on bass, treble, mids)

Just overall good sound, i like bassy music but not overkill on the bass.

Would be used for gaming aswell, so I don't really know what is best when it comes to open and closed headphones.

 

I prefer closed cause im not used to hearing stuff while I have a headset on.

Thank you very much for the quick replies, i'll look into those.

 

However, do you recommend the AT2020 usb+, compared to other usb mics? It seems really good, looked into lots of reviews.

It is a very good usb mic for the price.

Take a look at the Auna Mic 900B

The Rode NT-usb is worth a consider action. A bit over budget though.
