I NEED A MIC!

So, I have no dedicated desktop mic, and my pair of earbuds that had a great built in mic just broke. Any suggestions for a mic ~50 US$ or lower?

Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man who’s gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I’m gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Very funny, but I want to know what other people think, what experiences people have had, and what they recommend.

I already googled that, I am not a fool

What's wrong with asking for recommendations?

And OP, have you tried taking a look for lavalier microphones? Maybe this could help http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ECMCS3-Omnidirectional-Stereo-Microphone/dp/B0058MJX4O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1437741432&sr=8-1&keywords=Sony+ECM-CS3&pebp=1437741432708&perid=0HHX06J3MSB9EBMDRJ54

My Grading System on headphones: SS= 98-100, S= 95-97, A+= 91-94, A= 86-90, A-= 81-85, B+= 76-80, B= 71-75, B-= 66-70, C+= 61-65, C= 56-60, C-= 51-55, D+= 46-50, D= 41-45, D-= 36-40, F+= 31-35, F= 26-30, F-= 21-25, Tier 1 crap= 16-20, Tier 2 crap= 11-15, Tier 3 crap= 6-10, Dahell tier= 1-5, No hope= 0                 Nevertheless, "Enjoy what you enjoy without starting some silly culture war" - Lachlanlikesathing. If you Recommend the M50/X in a thead, I would probably send you a dick pic.

Really don't understand how that's trolling. It's a simple reply for a simple question that's been answered millions of times before. With Google, you can find your answers instantly. Same with the Search function here.

Doesn't matter what you think, it is against the rules, so don't do it.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I would prefer a desktop mic, just for things like skype. I won't be making anything super professional with this

If he didnt want our opinions, he would have used google. He probably wanted our opinions first hand instead of some reviewers guide / other fourms.

A Samson GoMic would be the only recommendation I can think of.
