Good XLR Microphone?

[TheKolapo00]

Im currently leaning towards either the MXL 990 or the AT2020 (Both XLR)

I'm looking for a microphone to record voice overs, while playing games like minecraft and rust, and for just talking on Skype. I have been watching videos on both these mics and I don't know which to get. If there are any mics in the same price range that are better please tell me.

Budget is $125
Type: XLR

I like the AT 2035 over the 2020, however audio technica makes some quality mics.
Just make sure you have some way to get phantom power through the XLR.

So you would say the at202 is better than the mxl 990, and 2035 is better than both.

I would say the two would be fairly even, and you would be satisfied with either as you arent doing studio quality work.

Do you know which would pick up my keyboard less, if both have a shock mount, around 10 inches from keyboard, and with foam windscreens.

The 2020 is sightly less sensitive compared to the MXl, so in theory it shouldnt pick it up as much.

Do you know any XLR mics in the $125 that aren't as sensitive.

Not to my knowledge.
