Hi everyone!
I am currently looking for a very cheap microphone to start off my recording but I am confused as to which one to buy. I would be using this with a Desktop PC.
I currently own a Fiio USB decoder D5, it serves as an external sound card and is a 3.5mm audio to USB adapter.
From what I can tell, I have three different types of microphones to choose from.
USB, for example this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Neewer-Microphone-Suspension-Broadcasting-Recording/dp/B07DK89QZS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1548772565&sr=8-3&
XLR, for example this one:

Or 3.5mm, for example this one:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tonor-Condenser-Microphone-Podcasting-Recording/dp/B01KHMUQ2M/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1548772738&sr=8-1-spons&
I am not looking for the best quality. I am looking for a microphone which allows me to record my voice without it being too quiet.
I know that the XLR one needs an external power source, which will most likely allow playback to be louder. However, I do not want to have an extra piece of hardware on my desk, plus I have no more available power plugs around my PC.
I would also like to use my existing 3.5mm audio to USB adapter. If I can get better quality and volume using the last option, USB, then I'd rather go with that.
Thank you all for reading.
