Bad Microphone! Mic Test. Suggest me cheap good mic :)

If you really want something and be serious with what you do than never buy cheap alternatives when looking for microphones, you'll regret it most times...
I mean sure when you are too young to work then you'll have to, but when you are the age that you can work by the law then you should just invest in something more expensive and therefore get much better quality. 200-300$ is a great range with some very high quality mics, you won't get that for the cheaper price. It also highly depends on what content you make, is it just commentaries or are there music recordings or singing involved, those are all things to consider when buying a microphone that suits your needs. Still I would much rather listen to commentary on a 250$ mic than a 75$ one.

Most of those mics go to waste with YouTube's compression.[DOUBLEPOST=1396306247,1396306094][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah, but aren't all music producers audiophiles? :P

Sure after the Youtube compression the audio quality is less, but a cheap microphone will go through that same compression and therefore it'll lose even more quality.
In the end a better mic sounds better than a cheap mic when both are run through the same line of effects, the Youtube compression is the effect in this case.
See what I mean why better mics are always better, even for something like Youtube?

Hello people,

And this is the voice test (remove space and -) voca roo.-com/i/s1cFEfg8Amru
This is a pretty bad mic and not worth the money so can you suggest me some cheap mic as I am yet to become a Youtube Partner and cant afford high price products with the little allowance I have..
Thank You :)

I just got a Blue Yeti for a hundred dollars and I think it's a great mic. I wouldn't recommend anything much cheaper if you want decent quality. I actually just made a video with it and you can check it out on my channel.
 
@ARTFXSTUDIOS you can't convince kids of the error of their ways. The "bad first mic" is kinda like a rite of passage. ;) May as well tell them to stop eating junkfood while young because losing weight is damn difficult when you're older.

I don't agree on the point about YouTube compression causing expensive mics issues. Audio is a garbage in garbage out scenario. The quality level between the SM7B and the Yeti is absolutely night and day despite YouTube getting pissy in the middle of it all.

As to the question from the OP. Until you can get a base AudioTechnica mic, the best budget option by far for the price is a Rockband mic. You can usually find one for $10 and as long as you're using it properly, it will sound passable and most times leaps and bounds better than many headsets.
 
My budget is less than 60$
I will look into the Rockband mic :) Thank You @Tarmack
@Mithril Are you a girl? You audio quality is so awesome :) I might consider the Blue yeti :)[DOUBLEPOST=1396334493,1396334285][/DOUBLEPOST]So, you guys are saying that my first mic should be the best mic? so that I dont have to invest again? an quality is good?
 
Using a local Php 100 ($2) microphone here. After lots of editing on Audacity (which takes 2-3 minutes tops), it sounds great. I can be heard clearly and no buzzing noise. I say that any mic is good as long as you know how to use it.

But if you have the money, it is advisable to get the best one you can. It's less hassle.

You use noise removal or any other effect?

Thanks! And yeah I'm a girl. I've also heard good things about the blue snowball mic and it's only around $50. I know it's the one that Pat Flynn started out on.
