Best Value Mic, Boom, and pop filter

[TomPot]

Hey y’all,

I’m building a new streaming setup and need a good, yet cheap mic configuration to keep cost low. It needs the mic, a boom arm, and a pop filter. I don’t know much about mics, so any suggestions? Thanks!

edit: you choose the budget, as long as it isn’t too expensive.

What ever is a good budget for a mic, not really sure. Not too expensive tho.

I'll just throw in my default recommendation: Samson C01u pro with whatever foam wind shield is cheapest on the same site (to avoid extra shipping cost)

Bumping this thread up, ignore this.

Couple of things,
1, We can't recc stuff on a budget if we don't know what the budget is
2, Podcastage and a million other Youtubers have done big mic roundups for streamers
3, The link in my sig, read it. If budget under $100 you'll be looking at USB mics, if above, perhaps we can get you something decent.

Really cheap is a NEEWER XLR MIC Combo and then buying an XLR to 3.5mm cable and then a usb sound card

This is what I have so far, anything y’all would change?

The Neewer NW-7000 is honestly an amazing and cheap usb microphone kit! It can run you from 30-40 bucks on amazon

 

This one is gold and seems to be the cheapest!

 

Here's a review if you wonder what the microphone sounds like!
