Best stand-alone Microphone on the market?

What's the Best stand-alone Microphone on the market?

I hear great things about the blue snowball microphone and the blue yeti but are they really the best for the price range?

Best as in quality.

Budget: $0 - $100

Which 'best' are you referring to? The best in terms of audio quality? The best in terms of price-to-performance? Or the best for a specific budget?

 

Starting a post without much context isn't really much help to us for helping you.

If you're talking about on the market then have fun spending thousands of dollars on a microphone, if you actually tell us you're budget that would help.

A blue snowball should be fine then.

Check out the at2020 as well. I assume you don't have an audio interface or mixer, which would allow you to use an xlr mic.

If you're only using this for voip then a snowball is already overkill. I personally like the modmic because it doesn't catch background noise as much and more convenient.

I am looking to do some voice recording for video development. I am currently looking at the Samson Studio C01U.

AT2020 is great and it's just slightly better than the yeti but the yeti has more features. Anything above that, and you should be looking at XLR mics which I really have no idea about so I can't help you any farther.

Gone with the Blue Yeti, thanks for the feedback guys.
