Suggest a microphone?

For a quality headset type I like the ones made by Plantronics International, they have an extensive range to suit all pockets.

depends on what your seeking to spend all i can say is don't skimp on the mic!!! the cables you use and the soundcard or dac if your here to just sing and dont care how you sound then a 20$ mic from the shack will be fine but if your serious about your sound its time to look go to guitar center sam ash thare gear is for the pros.

I don't agree with this at all! I have a USB mic and I LOVE IT! I have the M-Audio Session mic...but it came with music editing software I bought....I don't think you can buy it alone.
Anyway, I'd never own a different mic! So, I'd say go with a USB!

I have a Logitech Quickcam Communicate MP Plus that came with headphones WITH a microphone.

I cant get the sound bar to move AT ALL to setup to even BEGIN a recording...

What can I do?
do I HAVE TO buy a different microphone?

Any tricks to get this site to recognize my mic??

HELP, please!
I'm brand new here....

the cam is USB but not the headphones, singen. Mine came the same way but I don't use the headphones/mic, so would not know where to begin. It;s been years since I have used that set-up and back then I had a cheap sound card, and did not have to deal with SS LOL.

The price went up, but this one is still a great microphone for around 40 dollars:

Needs a battery to power it, and it has a built-in double pop filter to get rid of those nasty "P's" and "Esses".

You'll just need a mono adapter to convert the 1/4" end to a 1/8" plug. Those are cheap and can be found online or at Radio Shack.
