The best Mic/Headset to use?

I have been wanting to re-record my utaus for a few months now, but I REALLY have no idea what mic or headset to get to give them the smoother sounds and whatnot.

My old headset was decent but it broke a year ago and I got a new headset..... but it gives me the scratchiest and most robotic sounds I have ever heard...

I don't want to continue to waste money on picking and choosing so I need to know... What mic or headset has good quality for a decent price?... and which is better... the mic or the headset?

Thank kyu

The Snowball is a pretty decent mic.

I'm actually looking into buying a new microphone myself.

If you check out the voice acting alliance forums, there are some pretty decent reviews on microphones.

I think a lot of the users there use Blue Snowball Microphones for voice acting. ( The price tag isn't bad, too~ )

I also saw good things about the Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser Microphone and the Shure SM57 USB microphone. But they're a little more expensive than Snowball--but if it's just for UTAU, I'm leaning towards Snowball.

Headsets are conveniently hands-free, but in terms of sound quality, go for a normal mic+stand or handheld mic.

I'd suggest taking a look at the Snowball or Snowflake, they're pretty nice mics. Both from Blue microphones c:
Overall they seem reliable and they have good quality sound.

They also have the Yeti which is crazy pro... but also around $150 xD;

Pricing lowest to highest:
Snowflake -> Snowball -> Yeti
