Recommended Mic To Buy For Recording

I've always heard that standalone microphones are the best, and microphones found on headsets are usually inferior. I hope that helps somehow

Can't recommend you any mics, but when getting one, take this into consideration too.

I have the Elite Pulse headset from Sony,and it's pretty badass,never tried the mic though because I don't usually like talking. The sound is orgasmic though,so I'm sure the mic is pretty good.

Neumann u47
:D

If your headset has a mic, just use that. You don't need uber good studio quality, most headphones nowadays have surprisingly good microphone quality. Maybe I'm just a poor guy who hasn't heard awesome quality, but my 2 year old, £10 headset records very clearly.

Any noise dampening standalone microphones. Alot of people prefer the blu snowball, I like the blu yeti. Tobuscus uses a turtle beach headset, but he also has a ton of recording software to back it up.

Depends on how much you want to spend and which quality you expect from it.

And if you want a USB mic, or a real condenser microphone which needs a preamp/interface because it needs 48v phantom power.

I'd recommend you a Rode NT1-A+ Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.

I was going to say a blueyeti before reading the second sentence of your thread.

The price is good and the pro's use them for general commentating, even in music.

Behringer C-1U best choice!

I personally use a Blue Snowball, great quality
