Hey, I'm looking for a desk mic to replace my modmic. It has to be $60 (or $65), USB, and on ebay.

 

I was looking at:

- Samson C01U

- CAD U37

 

any suggestions? ty

 

oh, and it will be used for youtube. I have a loud keyboard so, keep that in mind :P

Does it have to be a clip-on?

 

Blue Snowball Microphone is excellent.

I'd prefer a standalone mic, no clip ons please :)

I've thought about it, but I think it's too fat  :ph34r: I'm going to be putting it on a swivel arm, so it will be too heavy :c

Blue snowball, the cad you mentioned, and Samson meteor are all good.

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
