Hello Head-Fi forum. I am definatly not an expert on microfones or other recording devices.
 
I need a microfone for Skype and Gaming with the following features:
 
 
1- Have decent, clear, consistent (compressed lol) quality. Bass doens't really matter much.
2- Be rather small so it won't take my line of sight in the screen while gaming.
3- Should be decent to use in front of the monitor while the speakers are playing gaming sounds and not completly kill my voice.
4- Will last some years (well, at least one that's not broken in a month)

I was thinking of the Samson Go Mic USB. However, i worries me in the reviews that it seemed (at least to me) to catch a lot of elements from behind, even in one direction mode.
 
Also, i have a M-Audio Fast Track Pro soundcard with phantom power, should i get a normal XLR type condenser mic? Or will it be a big thing between me and the screen? (i use a desktop computer).

Thank you for your help.

Hello. No one can help me?

Thanks,

I have a samson go and it works pretty well. My friends say that it sounds pretty clear when I talk, even with a little background noise from my speakers.

Thanks for the reply

Where do you place it usually? Because i have no other place to place it then in the middle of both my speakers, below my screen.

That's the exact place where I put my mic.

Nice. In that case, the only question i have atm is whether it is better to use a XLR Condenser one like... some of these here around the same price? http://www.thomann.de/pt/cat.html?gf=microfones_condensadores&oa=pra
