    I'd go for a Blue Yeti, a lot of streamers and YouTubers have this microphone :)

    I use a Audio Technica AT2020 USB , never had problems with it, all you really need to do is configure your settings right, so it wont be too loud, too quiet, a middle ground so everyone can hear you.

    It depends on your budget.
    Snowball is a good starter mic.

    Blue Snowball or Blue Yeti are the most popular options

    Blue Snowball works great for a budget option. Then the Blue yeti is most popular but a bit more expensive.

    Me and George use the Blue Yeti across the MGN and Freedom! Channels!

    Definitely invest as much as you can in the microphone. Audio is most important in videos and keeps a person interested :)

    I would go for a blue yeti, its an amazing microphone. But you need to know how to set it up.

    Just like Wift mentioned, Blue yeti. That one is the perfect one for you or can I say anyone!
    Most studios and stream broadcast offices in India have the blue yeti, and from my experience of using one, I can conclude that it feels as if I were talking in real life, not listening to my audio. The bass is great! ;)
    The only spaghetti you'll find is the configuration though!

    I don't use Blue Yeti, why? It looks big and where are you really gonna put it when you wanna take it with you during travels? My AT2020 is smaller and compact, so it is easier for me to take it with me.

    And, when it comes to an audio, then it doesn't sound as bad if configured into perfect options. I have configured mine to the point that it sounds bloody sexy in my upcoming videos, better than it sounds now, count on me.

    There is a load of feedback on the Blue microphones, and honestly...YES! They are astounding.
    I have owned my Blue Yeti for 3 years now, and I LOVE it! Better than most, or not even...better than several headset microphones!
