Right, to start off, I am fairly noobish when it comes to headphone/audio terminology and how it all works, so forgive me i'm not making much sense.

 

Anywhoo, I am currently looking for a new desktop mic to pair with my Audio Technica M30X's, and am having trouble finding a good, quality option that fits my budget of ~£10.

I am only really using is for TeamSpeak and Skype, so the audio quality doesn't have to be amazing, but I would like the best possible quality at my price range.

Any help would be appreciated. :)

I really recommend that you save your money and get a more expensive microphone.

Any recommendation for a slightly higher price range?

 

Blue Snowball? Blue Yeti?

As previously stated Blue Yeti or snowball, I have the snowball and my only gripe with it is it picks up everything and I mean EVERYTHING, so I'd go with the Yeti. Either one will work, but if you plan on doing skype calls the snowball can be a nuisance. I have the cheaper model I think, the one with the plastic stand (which sucks) not sure if the actual mic is any different than the more expensive model.
