While I do love my Razer Kraken the sound quality on the mic is a little bad and very sensitive. (I think i might have just gotten a bad one) The sound quality is amazing so i want to keep them but I really want a standalone mic. Any suggestions? For less then 100$ if possible

Blue snowball or yeti.

How much are those when buying them in Belgium? Any idea?

80 EUR for the snowball iCE (slightly less features than the regular snowball). On amazon.fr. could try UK sources too.

Yeti is 100 EUR.

Shouldn't you be checking personally, you are the one who lives in Belgium. I'm pretty sure everyone who doesn't live there is clueless on what place to get products is the cheapest and most reliable. Though on the approximate price this website: http://www.thomann.de/be/blue_yeti.htm has it for 130 euros or http://www.thomann.de/be/blue_snowball.htm 77 euros.

If you want something cheap you can try a zalman clip on, I personally would prefer a standalone mic like the blue snowball too but I think it's a little too much just for that. I think I'm gonna try one of these Zalmans out.

Thanks, and yes I should look for them myself but I'm in class now (we're learning about the html-tag, very interesting)
