Need mic recommendations

Hello everyone. I am soon home from my holiday and then I will get my sennheisers 598s and I was planning on getting the zalman mic buy after looking a little more the the snowflake I am not sure anymore. I don't like the size of the snowball but I don't know if I should get the snowflake over the zalman. Or should I get the zalman and get the snowflake later. Thanks in advance.

Of those 2 I would go for the snowflake. I have the yeti and it is a really good mic.

I love the way the Samson Meteor sounds like. It doesn't have any hiss at all and the sound is very natural. I feel like the Blue Snowball makes any voice bassy and it kinda bothers me. If you want to hear someone talking with this mic, check this twitch vod. He has the mic about 80cm away from his face, it sits in front of his monitors.

Hope it helped!

The Snowflake is the better one of them :)

 

What is though your budget? You might be able to get something like a Yeti which would be even better ^^

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't need it for recording or anything but mostly for gaming and talking with friends on Skype.

I think i will go for the snowflake as I found one for a decent price of 495 kr and if anyone else in sweden could find a cheaper one than thank you.

EDIT Dammit double post

EDIT again I think i will first get the zalman and wait with the snowflake for later.

As a side note, if the Zalman doesn't work out, AudioTechnica makes some fairly cheap USB mics like Blue. Both are exceptional brands. I use the Snowball and have a few other similar mics around, and can definitely vouch for both.
