I'd like to do my own amateur dub of an anime (I'm a jerk) and I need suggestions for a microphone. It wouldn't be anything serious, just something to amuse friends, etc. but I'd still like it to be good quality. Any inexpensive microphones with good playback?
I don't know if it'll matter that I'm using a PC and not a Mac.
@eccentrix: Whoops, I meant I have the Blue Yeti and it's about 70 to 100. The blue Snowball is about 60, if you search around you might be able to find it on sale :)

@eccentrix: I really like my Blue Snowball but it's like 70 to 100 bucks iirc
$70-100 sounds around about the limits of what I was expecting to spend; I'll look into it.

@WolfOfOne: It looks pretty good, plus I can save £15 by getting a version with no omni-directional polar pattern, which I don't really need.
@eccentrix: Yup, the blue snowball should work well for you :)
As @WolfOfOne mentioned, the Blue microphones are pretty good. I've heard nothing but good things about them.

Seconded! Got one, very nice for voice. The only thing that would make it perfect would be a stand.
If you're looking for a really cheap microphone I use a Zalman clip-on microphone and it sounds great!

@MAGZine: nice, sounds good.
