Good quality microphone?

[Almost Gandalf]

Hey guys,

 

I'm looking to upgrade from a headset to a standalone microphone for streaming, and after doing some research I found that I have no knowledge of audio or microphones and would probably screw things up.

 

Anyway my budget is £100 - £250 (just the microphone), any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

wouldn't call that "budget" range but here are a few good ones.

Alternativly, to not risk having the keyboard being picked up if you are using a mechanical one i would recommend the vmoda boom pro + a pair of new compatible headphones.
