looking for a microphone under $50

[xephoneration]

I have done a fair bit of research and these are what I came across to be a good budget microphone:

 

Tonor TN12326  $12.99

Floureon BM-800 $26.99

Neewer NW-800 $22.99

Snowball ICE $49.00

 

 

I do not do any audio recording or streaming of sorts. I play war thunder a lot with a bunch of my buddies. I do not use any headsets currently do to personal medical issues, but I have a 5.1 surround sound. so I really want a mic that wont pick up my game and the people talking and pretty much a mic that is good for the price. I hear a lot of good things about the snowball ice and that it goes on sale for $30 quite often. Any suggestions?

snowball is probably the best mic you can get for under $50.

Most mics you will get will probably pick up at least some of the noise from the game. A lot of it can be configured in software by setting a noise gate, so that only this louder than a certain level will get picked up. I'd recommend the snowball. The Neewer one looks like it requires Phantom Power which won't be provided by a USB cord, same with the Floureon. You will need an aditional amp for them for power. I can't really vouch for the Tonor, but if you want you can buy it and try it out first. It's only $12 and fulfilled by Amazon, so returning it shouldn't be an issue.

 

I'm not sure what your medical condition is, but would you be able to wear earbuds while playing? That would eliminate the concern for echoing.

would if I could wear buds :L but its gonna be only another month. I have a hd550 so i dont need a headphone or earbuds BUT thanks for the thought on that aspect. Alright i was not for sure about the neewer and the floureon, so that kinda cleared it up.

You'll need headphones if you expect your mic to not pick up the game sound (the snowball is a great mix)
