Best mic to stream with?

[mfkaoz]

So I'm looking to start streaming in the next couple of weeks and I'm not sure which mic to go with as far as streaming goes, so I'm hoping I can get some help from you guys.
I'm planning to get a mic strictly for PC because I plan to listen to music as I play and commentate. I've been looking around and I'm leaning toward the Tritton Kunai headset but I want a second opinion from people that are more experienced than me.
Any and all help is appreciated! I'm kinda on a budget too so preferably anything under $100.
Thanks again, guys!

Mics for podcast/live streaming/commentating aren't very expensive, I bought mine for 40 bucks and it works great for that stuff.

Blu Yeti desktop mic. Always go desktop mics.

I was actually looking at the Blu Yeti too but I'd prefer a headset so I can have music coming through it.

Desktop mics suck ass... I always go mixer + professional mics.

I got a Blue Snowball for $60 and for the price it's excellent. @GGA HAN and Medina can attest to their quality. They might not be the best mics out there, the yeti and other more professional mics are better, but it's really hard to beat for the price, especially if you're just streaming from your house and not a venue.

I use my $80 turtle beach headset and it works perfectly fine. Dont go the mixer was unless you have the money but not needed unless you're gonna stream events of any kind

You guys can go ahead and close the thread, this is what I'm going with.
I think I'll just go with some Turtle Beaches because I'm only gonna be streaming from my house.
Any suggestions on which ones I should get?

Ones with wires to make it connect to PC easier, maybe Turtle Beach x12 idk.

Really good headset/mic combos are going to be very expensive, otherwise the voices come out staticky but it's very useful to have. Regular mics in the $40 range should be fine with Pop filters on them, except most people don't know how to talk into a mic. I rarely talk on stream so my levels are almost never set, so I come in very loud. On my podcast my levels are very different from everyone else to keep me from overmodulating, and my mic is also on a stand. At tournaments hand movement with mics also causes audio muffling so it's not solely about the mic and also how it's being used.
