Which Mic Is Best Mic?

I need a mic for use in chat calls but I require four things from it.

 

First: It doesn't sound like crap.

Second: I need it to sound *normal* if the mic is above or below, and to the left or right of the audio source.

Third: it needs to have a floor mounted stand so I can move it into the aforementioned places.

Fourth: It needs to cost $60 USD or less

 

Does anything fit these requirements?

Snow ball ICE?

You will need to get your own floor stand, no mics come with that sort of thing.

Is it omnidirectional?

It's a cardioid condenser.

To the google. Sounds (pun intended) good to me. Finding a stand should be easy enough of a task, and if their attachment methods don't agree, I always have duct tape.

The cardioid pattern of the snow ball will makes it really only pick up sound from one direction.  They are not omi-directional.

That being said as long as the front of the mic is pointed at you it will pick up sound.  Condenser mics are really meant to be used right in front of your face.

What is your price range?

$60 USD or less. Even though I already ordered the mic Enderman mentioned, I would still welcome other ideas.
