Mic just for skyping while gaming.

[Insirion]

I have seen alot of question's I am aboat to ask but still did not find a good answer.

My steelseries siberia broke and I decided that now is the time to switch from a headset to headphones and a Mic.

 

I found the V-moda boompro wich would be the best solution for me but they dont fit in the Sennheiser HD 598

 

I dont like spending to much on a mic since I only use it for skype while I am gaming. I just need people too hear me loud and clear it doesnt have to be super crisp.

Now I am looking at a really simple Trust mic because I just want the mic sitting on my desk 20inch/ 50cm away from me.

 

Should i go from the trust mic or is a Blue Snowball worth the money?

And can it sit on my desk for a far distance?

get a Modmic, you can hear what it sounds like in my video - all audio was recorded unprocessed directly off the modmic

I would definitely recommend and endorse investing in a Blue Snowball or something similar. The mic quality is fantastic, and they can be had for as little as $30 now. The tri-pod it comes with is also a nice touch, and the multiple audio patterns really helps to configure it best to fit your setup. 

 

If you don't wish to spend $30-50, then I'd recommend you get something like the Zalman Zm-Mic from Amazon. It's an $8 clip-on microphone that sounds fantastic for the price, but the only caveat is that it's a low-sensitivity mic, so you have to boost the gain on it really high, resulting in a lot of background noise.

I agree, rocking one myself with my HD650's, one of my best purchases.

sadly I dont use it much, but its great to pair with my travel overear headphones so I can use it with my laptop

Thanks for your reaction. I dislike the extra cable that's why I want a desktop mic.

I am going too watch some more videos of the snowball mic than. I need to know the distance the mic picks up my voice loud and clear.

 

The same goes with the zalman mic and the modmic and any other clip on mic like the sony one. I dont like the extra cable that is on them.

the cable clips to your existing cable, so its just the same as one cable

 

the snowball is ok but be prepared to annoy people with background noise, typing and clicking noises
