What are you using it for?

It will be for tutorials on youtube and just skype calling

VOIP is massively limited so it doesn't really matter which mic you have, it'll be limited for quality anyway.

Youtube may benefit, but I doubt you could buy anything with noticeable difference for £20.

You'd probably be best just saving a bit of money and getting a directional mic from Maplin or somewhere.

I use a speedlink-capo. I've had some shit luck with mics in the past but this is fine.

The logitech Desktop mic is about as good as it gets over VOIP, and it's only £17

If you'd prefer a clip-on mic, either go speedlink spes, or Zalman ZM-MIC1

And It's worth mentioning that if you ever start to make it on YouTube, it's worth researching a ''proper'' mic setup, with a interface/mixer and something like a shure SM58 since it does sound WAY better than anything USB...

Get a usb condensor mic! Those things are great. AT, Blue and Samson mics are great but a tad more expensive I think the cheapest one is like 50 quid but they're deffinately worth it imo
