$200 Upgrade?

I am planning to spend about $200 on new audio equipment. I need headphones that have a 1/4' jack and an adapter (guitar). I already have a mic stand but I need a better mic, a pop filter, and a shock mount. I was thinking AKG K553 for the headphones and need help with the mic. Right now I have a Blue Snowball.

The AKG are solid, I've heard mixed things about the pads; apparently they don't seal so well for some people.

I can confirm that the other two posts are showing database errors, so I think that makes it fine to post three times? Anyway, as far as needing a 1/4" jack, most headphones around that price range (and certainly above) should come with an adapter if they aren't already terminated in 1/4". I assume that you are talking about the K553 pro on massdrop, which leaves about $80 total for the new mic/pop filter/shock mount. Am I correct, or did I miss something?

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)

Yep need a mic for $80 with pop and shock.
