I wanted to buy a good quality PC microphone for few years now and my budget finally allows me to do that. My friend bought this C-1 Behringer U couple of years ago and I must say the quality is very good, but are there any others that are even better in quality?
I don't own any professional tools to record sound, just my computer.
I heard that to get a good quality out of microphone, you have to get a sound card to the PC as well, is that true?
I don't want the mic to have any bonuses like voice changer or whatever, I will use it mainly for talking to people online, recording videos and recording my own voice on a pc.

This, if you don't have any equipment buy a usb mic.

Well, what's your budget?

Well, it depends really. The microphone from the pic is very good (as I tested it) and costs around £40, I am willing to give out much more, even up to a £100, but obviously for better quality as well.
This mic is omnidirectional, which is a big plus for my needs, but I am not willing to spend additional money for features I am never going to use anyway.
TL;DR - around £40-£80

Check out this article (scroll down for the usb ones):

Only tried the Audio-Technica ATR2500 from that list. Still using it to record voice-overs and it sounds pretty sweet. Amazon currently lists it for $83. But you can probably find a refurbished one for cheaper.
If you decide to spend some more, get the Blue Yeti for $130.

Can you share a sample of your voice recorded with that mic?

Oh boy, I just watched some videos showing how Blue Yeti works and I am stunned by the quality. I will probably get that one, if I won't find anything cheaper for the same quality.
Thank you!
