Heyo, I searched through the forums but really didn't find what I wanted or a clear consensus on what would be a good idea.
I'm coming here because, as my peripherals that I bought a few years ago break down - I'm trying to avoid making the same purchasing mistakes that I made last time :D
Anyhow, I use a razer carcharias, but no matter how much cutting and splicing I do the microphone just refuses to work now. The audio is fine so I'm in the market for a clip on or stand microphone (I'd like to keep it under 40$ - but ebay or buying used can solve that problem on bigger ticket items).
I may just pick up a refurbished Carcharias since they only run like 20$ - because I do rather like the ear pieces, but the fact that all the wires aren't separated makes it really hard to repair it.
I'm currently using something that makes me sound like an answering machine and that is not satisfactory as I like to make youtube videos where my voice is prominently featured.

It's only $33 and I heard its mic quality is pretty beast.

If you like earpieces then get the Modmic, although it always seems to be running out of stock, and lots of features won't be introduced until sometime later this year.
So in that case, I'd just go with the Zalman clip-on mic for now. It's about $5 and a lot of people use it.
Edit: I do have a Modmic and the quality is pretty great.

You can velcro this to your headphones.

Blue Yeti snowball mic. The cost is worth it mainly because of the quality of your voice and it's own usb drivers which by default pick up enough sound to not have mic boost on(static and poop).

Blue Yeti and Blue Snowball are two different microphones. The Yeti is far superior to the Snowball, but the Snowball is excellent.
