I only use a microphone for Discord while gaming. At the moment I use a cheapo desk mike. But it's a bit flimsy, tries to fall over, doesn't give good sound quality and is prone to getting interference if a phone goes anywhere near it.
Having proved the concept of having a desk mike to allow me to multiplayer game without always having to have a headset on, I'd like to invest inwaste some money on something better.
I had intended to go 3.5mm so could still use it through my GSX1000. But finding a decent 3.5mm jack mike with a mute control is impossible, so I'm accepting going with USB.
Price point is around £100 maximum. If I can convince myself to spend so much.
I was initially looking at the Samson Meteor at about £70. But concerned whether that Chrome finish looks a bit plastic.
The two more expensive possibilities (both around £100) are the Blue Yeti for understated good looks, or the HyperX Quadcast for very much not understated good looks, along with both being well reviewed for their quality.
Does any one have any of these or alternatives, and can offer suggestions? I'm planning to wait for the 13th to buy anything, in case there are any sales for Prime Day or elsewhere.
