Would like to enlist help finding a Condenser Microphone

[LooneyJuice]

Hello Dudes/Dudettes,

 

Seeing as it's a bit of an emergency, I would love some help decluttering purchasing options for cheapo condenser mics. The problem is, it's not for me, it's for professional video call use and that user needs a pretty cheapo option. The cheapest I can reasonably consider is an AT2020, but even that's a bit out there for this person's budget. I'm not that familiar with the lower-end market to be able to pull a decent suggestion out that I'm confident with.

 

Now, whether it's 3.5mm jack or USB, I don't much care, as long as it's probably decent-sounding and probably cardioid pickup pattern because noise isolation is a very important prerequisite.

 

Thank you very much in advance.

How about the blue snowball ice?  Pretty popular for only $50.

Oh, damn, forgot about that one! Thanks, seems to be the ticket, seeing as it includes some extras.
