What kind of mic?

Dark · Jun 13th 2012, 10:21pm

So I'm looking around for a decent mic that some of the more well-known Youtubers use. I'm not looking for something top of the line that you'd see in a recording studio - I just want something that doesn't pick up background noise and feedback.

Do you guys have any recommendations? Are there good mics that come in headphones also?

Please help a fellow bro out!

I know of a great mic called Blue Snowball. My bf has one and it is really amazing.

I personally just use a regular headset like my Turtle Beach X12 it is pretty good and only $50 USD

Yea, I've seen that and the Yeti but they're so expensive T___T

Yea! That's what I'm considering buying so far; what do you think about the recording and performance?

it records pretty well you can look at some of my videos if you want to see (Same channel name as here) and it has a mic monitor feature that will basically tell you if your mic is working or not. To some it is an annoyance but to me it feels like i can hear myself much clearer and don't have to yell at the top of my lungs.

I use a Rock band mic that I got with my xbox...

And surprisingly... It's awesome!

I saw a Blue Yeti for 70$ on ebay.
But if you want something cheaper you can get a Logitech Labtec Desktop Microphone 600 for 8$.
Logitech Labtec Desktop Microphone 600 actully works very well.
It might catch up some background noise, but you can easily remove the noise with audacity or solicall.
