Good Microphone for >$50

[Hiimstring3]

Hi, 

 

I'm currently shopping for a new headset. After trying a friends Audio Technica ATH-M40FS, I've decided I'll get that. The only problem with this, is that it doesn't have a microphone. I am currently considering getting either a ModMic or a standalone mic. I know the ModMic can be purchased for around $40, but I just wanted to see what people thought about that compared to a relatively cheap, standalone mic. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

SnowFLAKE is all you need for basic VoIP if you want a desktop unit - Zalman has a Clip-On lapel mic for around $10 if you don't want to dish out for a ModMic.

I barely see modmics in stock. I'll will snatch them once the 4.0 gets in.

Zalman mics are discontinued according to Newegg. You can still snatch one up at amazon in the US for $15 but they're probably going to run out soon.

Discontinued on Newegg means they're no longer sold there, not that the product is out of production.

Really? I saw a reddit post saying the same thing when I googled it. Perhaps they were wrong.

They might indeed be out of production, just letting you know that discontinued on Newegg doesn't mean the item is out of production.
