I've seen someone mentioned "mod mic" and it looks pretty interesting considering the price and the option to just stick it on headphones.

And I don't use some gamer trash headphones, I use Sennheiser HD-650 so I'd probably like the option to just stick a microphone to them.

What's about the quality though? Does it have any amplification?

>>385160467

>>385160369
Blue yeti is just a snowball in a fancy case, save some money and buy a snowball instead.

That being said, USB mics are pretty shit for the price, but they're easier than setting up a real microphone with an amp and all that nonsense.

>>385160481
Modmic is decent, it's leaps and bounds above anything you'll find in a headset. Nice headphones + a decent modmic are the way to go if you're looking for a "headset" solution.

Don't know if they have any amplification but they're plenty loud based on my experience.

>>385160792
So mod mic then? I don't give a shit about "streaming performance" or anything like that, just need a decent mic that would work well for coop.

>>385160691
I don't get the correlation between headset mics and what you just said, and I don't even use a headset mic.

>>385161073
Yeah, I bought one for I think about ~25 a while ago and everyone compliments it whenever I play.

I have an Audio Technica desk mic, got it during a sale. Still very expensive, though.

I use Yeti, but the Snowball is good for budget when you get it on sale. Then buy the innogear arm or whatever the fuck it's called for 10$ and keep in mind the Snowball doesn't have a mute button.

>>385161426
There's not a bunch of static or background noise everytime I cue it, if that's what you're asking. I would look up some youtube videos of people using it, that should be a good metric for you.

You should really do that for any mic, honestly.

>>385162448
Make a few friends and you'll learn for yourself. No one remembers to mute 100% of the time, and the person with the headset mic is the most annoying person in the channel 100% of the time. There is no argument to be had.

>>385162372
Maybe you have god awful speakers / headphones, the static is LOUDER than you speaking. It's almost like feedback, do you have the mics cable near any power cables or something? That sounds terrible and you would be muted immediately if I had to listen to that static on an open mic.

>>385162570

The mic on my Sennheiser Game One headset.

It's basically HD 558s with a decent mic attached. At the time I purchased is was the same price as the HD 558 and the Modmic 4 had I bought them separately.

Come on man, I know the guy you're responding to is being a bit of a dick but your argument really only applies if you don't have a couple extra bucks to throw around and a couple minutes to do research. I don't understand this culture of discouraging people from buying nice things that work better just because there's a cheap or free alternative.

I bought some cheap ass usb condenser mic from some Chinese ass company called fifine. It was like 20 bucks. Works pretty well honestly albeit a bit quiet.

You sure bout that? Cause I mute people with shitty mics immediately. $100 is a few hours of work to most people, it isn't a lot of money. There is no excuse for buying cheap shit, you just end up having to buy another when it likely breaks as well, cheap shit is cheap shit made in chink land 99% of the time.

Amazon for around $60 or something plus an extra $5 for a pop screen filter thing

I went with black for the classy look.

Sound quality is great.

My only complaint at first was how bright the LED on the front was but after connecting the pop screen it made the LED far less bright.

I don't like leaving my microphone on because I'm from /pol/ and if you've spent some time there, you probably know why.

After unplugging and plugging the miniusb, month after month, I've noticed the port has loosened a bit.

Aside from that, great mic.

So you're poor, there is a difference.

You absolutely don't need a Mic that good for just playing with friends. Just get a ModMic.

...if you've got some kind of external audio device managing your shit like I do, then yeah, a USB mic will come in handy, particularly if you have a PS4.

>>385160691

I mean, shit next to your mouth yeah. That's just being rude though. USB mic are condenser microphone 99% of the time and headset microphones are dynamic. Condensors are FAR more sensitive, meaning the desk mic will pick up fucktons of room noise. I have mine on a boom arm sitting about three feet away from my face and it still picks up my breathing and mouth noises even at a really low gain.

>>385165021
That's exactly it, I'm saying to get a dynamic microphone if you can. Shit like the AT2020 and Yeti which are commonly recommended will pick up room noise even though they have a cardioid pattern. You're pretty much stuck with them if you want to use a USB microphone though, which in certain situations is the only way to go.

>>385165217
None of mics listed in this thread are professional, you fucking 3rd world shitter.

>>385165052

Clearly you have no standards about buying one quality item and would rather buy many shit items over a long period.

If you're not poor now, you're definitely on your way with that line of thinking.

ITT poor people make up excuses for why pro mics are the same as poor people mics / headset mics

I actually got pic related as a Christmas present from my sister. As much as I hate Logitech products, this one's actually pretty good, and my friends have stated it's the clearest they've ever heard me in comparison to the other mics and headsets I've used in the past.

Headsets always seemed to get really hot on my head so I just got a scissor arm on my desk that has a Dynamic Microphone on it plugged into my audio interface.

>>385163618
You don't need one. No one is saying you do, not even the post you responded to. But it's nice to have nice things that sound nice. It's a very simple concept.

I see this thing recommended all the time here.

Fucking thing sucks it's absolute garbage. Only buy this if you're okay with the fact that your mic sounds like assfuck.

>>385165128
Read literally any review about condenser microphones, they're far more sensitive and pick up everything, it's the way they're designed. If you have an imperfect setup (i.e.: your average desk setup), a dynamic is a better choice. It's the reason actual, big time streamers and podcasters use stuff like the Shure SM7B, Heir PR40, and Electrovoice stuff. Just far more forgiving for vocal only stuff.

This sounds like a reason to get a better mic to me? I also often end up muting people who have crappy mics as it can be really distracting. If your mic is an actual bother to people, you should just type.

I've had plenty of people mute me when I was only using my laptops built in mic on some games, and I've done it as well so I can understand.

Jesus christ why are people so upset about fucking headphones

>>385167302
STOP MAKING BAD DECISIONS

>>385167097

>>385167818
Microphones are pretty shit in general. It's a huge thing for people in the audio world to go through dozens of them before finding something that works for them. Cheap ones are even more prone to issues and bullshit.

Modmic is probably some sort of grounding issue, try plugging it into something else and see if it still does it. PC front panel/audio inside your PC is notoriously shit and prone to a lot of interference.

But yeah, microphones basically suck and are a pain in the ass.

>>385166567
You seem to be misunderstanding what I'm typing. I'm not saying a 100€ mic is the same quality as a 20€ mic. I'm saying they'll both last if handled and treated well and that it's pointless for me to spend that much cash on a mic when all I use a mic for is voice chatting. If I was into, I dunno, streaming or some shit? Sure, expensive mic it is. It's not prohibitive to buy when it's justified to spend that sort of money. But it's pointless. You know what pointless means?

For the record, I'm using my laptop's shitty inbuilt mic, it has never given me any problem and sounds just fine, the only background noise ever being the extremely loud fan that I can probably muffle away if I lower the capture volume.

>>385163264
I don't use push to talk but I'm almost exclusively in calls with friends, I almost never use mic in game. If something starts causing background noise, like my dog or another person talking, I just mute my mic since my headset has a switch for it.

>>385168067
XLR+audio interface is indisputably GOAT and gives you the most options, but it's total overkill for most people. Unless you're streaming or making content, don't bother. Interfaces get kind funky to deal with if you have a console in your setup as well.

You can get a pretty cheap interface these days though, might even be able to score a decent mic and one of the Scarlett things for under $100 if you shop used.

the issue usually arises from mobo's though, so you'd end up having to pay more than 15 bucks on one of those.

Also if you ever got into streaming, you'd end up having to change it up.

>Microphones are pretty shit in general. It's a huge thing for people in the audio world to go through dozens of them before finding something that works for them. Cheap ones are even more prone to issues and bullshit.

>$100 is a few hours of work to most people
Your parents have good jobs then, I guess.

Is a $130/£100 microphone the default? No fucking chance. The majority of players are probably using a budget gaming headset or cheap desk microphone they picked up for pennies.

I use a Blue Snowball ICE that I bought pre-owned for £30. It was indistinguishable from being new and it does the job better than some of the other shite I've used.

Here is a crazy question. I have big ears, which headset has big cans that fit over my big ears so they won't hurt after an hour

>>385170997
Introducing a DAC/Amp for just the headphone bit would put the mic and phone jacks on different grounds which introduces unpleasant gremlins to your audio both ways.

Also you're probably not "missing" anything by having a separate DAC/Amp unit.

If your motherboard isn't complete shit it'll have a modern onboard chip with good shielding that is indistinguishable from any dedicated DAC, and you only ever need an amp if for some reason your headphones are too quiet even at max volume.

I use this. It's super quiet even after turning it up in the system and chat client. I have talk pretty loud sometimes even though I'm just 10 inches away.

I have a basic cheap audio interface already so I went the NW 800 way (Used to have one of those 5 PC mics that you plug on the back of the mobo and sounds like ass). Its fine but because it's condenser it pick up noise from the fans of my case so I have to be careful with gain, but it's ok.

You get significant diminishing returns, though. And you could better spend mic money on games or a better pc/console.

not true, some usb mics are just as good as standard xlr mics, the chord that the signal travels doesnt really matter. BUT, you will be better off and more futre-proof if you buy an audio interface and an AKG c214 or something.

I think they just get annoyed because it brings in people who don't know enough about of what they are talking about giving false advice or false claims due to ignorance. It's like a console gamer saying more than 30fps is dumb because the human eye can't see more than 30fps, so a console is the more affordable smart gaming option.

if you're looking to make an investment in a mic you might wanna go for a more expensive, high quality one. as for as affordable condenser mics go, though, i did a lot of research and it's pretty good. if you want good quality you gotta a) not boost the decibels and b) have it right in front of your mouth, like real close. thus why i decided to boost the fuck out of it so i can recline in my chair, have it off to the side on a stand and talk fine.

What the fuck, you sound like tinfoil hat people.

Visit /csg/ for once, this is pathetic.

On the other hand, you know what? Don't. Let your wallet continue getting raped by jews every time you buy something that was literally made in China 10x its price.

>not just using text chat

TF2 is the only game I play where voice chat is a thing, and I find the text chat in that works especially since I don't have a mic

>>385190073
>$300 mic
>$120 interface
You do realize more facotes go into account that affects sound quality? Stuff like bad micing and distance? Or bad mixing and shitty compression? And don't get me started on where he's positioned in the room

Might provide good vibration dampening.

Shure SM57.
Anything else is literally retarded.
Super high rejection and practically indestructible. I dropped one of mine into a thunder mug of fucking beer once and it worked perfectly the next morning.

I wanted to buy one of these but didnt feel like dropping 300 more on the rest of the equipment.

>>385182143
I own this mic, it was great back when it was sub $20 but now that they're trying to get almost $40 for it, it's not so great anymore.

>>385160369
I have a shitty plastic microphone. Can't remember when I bought it, but it was like 10 years ago. It relays audio to the computer, and I don't need to hear the extra noise it produces randomly.

>>385179695
Stole the content word for word. Anything he added was factually wrong. He thinks no one should use it when people have used them for years without sounding shit.

Basically the yeti isn't bad. People shouldn't invest in expensive equipment without needing it. Weegee saw a video stole it and repurposed the "VAs shouldn't use a sub Mic like the yeti" to "the yeti isn't good full stop."

Also he isn't funny at all.

>>385160691
I use voice activation with speakers and a 15€ logitech headset and the people I play with barely ever hear background noise since I set it up properly
Of course I mute myself when I'm coughing or something

Buy an audio adapter but don't go too cheap they'll wear out to fast & the buzzing will haunt your nightmares

>>385180097
It needs more power your port is too weak find an amp or adapater

I use CAD u37, pretty alright.

>>385193275
Dude theres a baby amp/mixer thats for 3.5 headhopnes & xlr for 25 on Amazon

I have a DAC and I connect it to a cheap condenser I bought from aliexpress, the BM-800. Great quality for 20 bucks. You can get a really cheap phantom power DAC and the BM-800 and you're set, far better quality than the Yeti I would say.

>>385175834
>1k mics
it goes higher than that lad
not to mention the expensive equipment the mic is connected to

>>385188086
>so I use an audio technica
Audio Technica is a company not a model

HyperX cloud 2. At least its better than razer's whatever.

>Spend €1 on dealextreme ages ago
>Get cheap as shit mic
>Clip it on via velcro also bought from China
Mostly fine. Next level is almost €20, with longer and better neck for the microphone, and better quality for the fabric wrapping.

>>385162102
>Savvy Audio Engineers

Sure, buddy.

>>385203376
You don't need an audio interface, and even with one, its $150 for a good one
You have some phantom adaptaters that are like $20 if you plan on only using it with a mic

This one. Or sometimes cheap sennheiser pc8 usb headset.

>>385164442
If there are people looking at this, consider taking a look at the Sennheiser PC37X on Massdrop instead. Don't know the spec differences, but most of them look roughly the same, just way cheaper on Massdrop.

BM-800 through a Scarlett Solo audio interface.

According to everybody I talk with, I sound better than Snowball, better than Yeti, but not quite as crisp as $500 mics. But hey, the mic itself cost me $15, so I think it's fair enough...

>>385187087
Oh.

See >>385212357, the answer is yes. Then again I don't know how well any mic sounds without a decent AI, I've had this one for a while.

By the way, one thing I recommend for anyone who wants to make their cheap mic sound more expensive, is to use VoiceMeeter. Takes like a minute to set up with a friend just listening and you asking "does this sound better?" until it's better.

>>385181592
Smug, condescending prick.

>>385160467
Snowball is fucking garbage.

>>385169750

>>385171592
Snowball is a crappy quality trash mic

>>385161807
Fuck you stupid faggots. you are the type of people that speaks in pubg and it annoys the shit out of me.

>>385213836
It's actually totally alright. The problem is that people use their microphones through the PC just because it's advertised that way.
I'd advise for anyone and EVERYONE to get a decent audio interface. It'll last for years and improve all audio, in and out. How this hasn't become common fact and even more common buy when building a PC is beyond me.

>>385160369
Get dynamic microphone, e.g. shure pg-58 (+ any desk stand you like) with proper mixer, e.g. mmx2 usb and you will have literally radio quality, which is way better compared to Blue Yeti for much more cheap.

>>385160481
The vmoda boompro is better. Better sound quality, less wires, and $20 cheaper.

>>385162283
That's a rare Todd

>>385215585
Modmic in omni configuration sounds leaps and bounds better than the Boompro.

Modmic in noise cancellation mode, they're equally mediocre.

>>385162102
>The Blue Yeti has been used by savvy audio engineers
lmao

Fuck I'm really fucked.
I want to get a really good mic/headset, but either the headset is too fucking expensive or all the required stuff for the mic makes it too fucking expensive. Fuck Phantom Power.
All my other mics/headsets fucked me with their shitty quality.
I'm looking for a streaming QUALITY(fuck wanting for attention, I just want to play with friends) mic and things aren't looking great.

Should I upgrade my HD-650 (nothing I dislike about them) to HD-800?

Is the more expensive model better?

A Logitech C270.
It takes pictures, has a microphone and isn't on headphones so it won't break in 3 months.
Never happier.

>>385160691
Not only do you also get those with a desk mic, but you get keyboard and mouse sounds as well, making headset mics superior.

I use the SHURE SM58 but I'm usually podcasting or recording lines for videos.

>>385212873
That's not what that's used for, it won't make a shitty mic sound good.

>>385187783
>>there are people who don't use push to talk
Why the fuck would I press additional fucking key to talk when I play high paced games like Quake?

Only retards with bad mics should use that because otherwise they'd making buzzing noise all the time.

>>385217632
That sounds good.

I was thinking to order mod mic 5 from their web site.

>>385214043
>Fuck you stupid faggots. you are the type of people that speaks in pubg and it annoys the shit out of me.

Anon I've seen on stream how people "talk" in PUBG and it's the peak of degeneracy so you probably should kill yourself anyway if you play that pile of shit.

>>385216992
From what I read the improvements don't seem to be worth the price. See if you can find a place to try them.

Wew lad, how will ANYONE end up poor by not being a dork and spending a bill on something so useless? In fact, they'll end up having more money than you.

>>385201398
I used the Guitar Hero: World Tour mic for 3 years. As far as USB mics go it's pretty good.
