Desktop microphone for video games w/ friends and streaming

[Ebrithil]

The last microphone that I had was a blue snowball, but it broke. I'm looking a replacement, but I had some problems with the snowball. It picked up all of my typing and other ambient noises pretty badly. I want to try to spend around $100 on something that will record my voice well for talking with my friends and the occasional streaming. Does anyone have any good suggestions?

If you use a headphone setup instead of speakers, you might as well get something like the modmic unidirectional, it's not the best, but it should work better in noisy environments than a desktop mic.

I use AudioTechnica earbuds, so that's not really an option...

In that case something like http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/118002-REG/Azden_HS_9_HS_9_Headset_with_Boom.html might work

I was hoping to find something that I wouldn't have to wear

If you're complaining about noise, you need to have something like that, since your goal is to drown out the noise with your own voice

All right, thanks for the help!
