If you're going to do voiceover semi-regularly to very often on even your own projects casually, it's worth doing better than the Blue Yeti or Snowball. You can get a much better sound than that if you can manage a little more cash—I'm sure you can get creative.

AT2020 ($83), Behringer B-1 ($89.95), MXL 770 ($74.99) or 990 ($87.67), or the Samson CO1 ($38 used, $62 new).

All XLR condenser microphones, which means that you also need an interface and an XLR cable. The Focusrite Scarlett is the most popular and most affordable.

I still haven't upgraded much in just a little over a year of streaming, but there are many things that I would love to upgrade.

Actually, just yesterday, I ordered a new mic. The Samson C01 from a cheap Excelvan BM-800 I got over a year ago. Would have gone with an AT2020, BUT I just don't have the budget to get that, especially while still trying to save up for an Xbox One. Only reason I'm upgrading the mic is because there's been an annoying buzzing in the background for the last few months, and it just recently started bypassing the noise gate!

Other upgrades I'd like in order of importance are:

  • Xbox One
  • Elgato HD60 Pro - Because my Avermedia is starting to fail me
  • Upgrade PC - i7-4790k, new MB, new/more RAM, new case, and SSD.
  • New Peripherals - Headset, Keyboard, Monitor.

Uhm Behringer Xenyx Q802USB together with the Neewer NW-700 (Go with the kit). Would be a total of $90 +$27. Its a great starter combo, you could even get 2 mics on that mixer, but they require a treated room to get their full potential (Otherwise they are still good but more tinkering with the EQ settings on the mixer).

Another mic option would be the Samson C01. I have the USB version of this one, and regret not buying the XLR version. I LOVE my usb one and have had it for 7 years or so. The quality of the mic is great even in an untreated room like mine. The downside of both microphones is that they are condensers so they pick up a lot of everything that happens, unfortunately generally dynamic microphones are more expensive.

The Shure SM58 is a dynamic mic that would just fit your budget together with the mixer at around $100. Don't really have experience with this one myself, but its very very popular.


Before making any decisions go on youtube and listen to samples of these mics for example on podcastage or other channels reviewing them to hear the sound for yourself. Also look at some reviews for the mixer. Never make an uninformed decision, in the end, sound is a bit of preference as well (and it differs for everyone).

I'm probably gonna invest in the Samson co1, I heard it's p good for what it is.

You can get away with a much better quality/sounding mic for much cheaper. I use a Samson CO1 with a Focusrite 2i2 I found at a pawn shop that wasn't even used for less than $50. And I just got done having my virtual d*** sucked by every team member in the overwatch match I was just in. Which happens every match. And one of the most common reactions is everyone saying how perfect my microphone sounds.........Also, the free program "Voicemeeter Banana" is an extremely useful tool for some on the fly basic EQ....Also, the behringer interface I started out with sucked. And it had a terrible hum/hiss, which I guess is common with them.
