Hello great people of Reddit

Quick version: What is a great microphone that you would recommend for YouTube game recordings and live streaming?

Please do not suggest Yeti’s. Read the long story to find out why.

Preferably something mid to low price range. I am not a millionaire and this is currently a hobby. But I would still like something better than my old gaming headset which is my last resort if I can’t get the issue fixed/refunded.

Also something that is not supper sensitive to background noises is a bonus. Also why I no longer like yeti’s.

Long Story if interested:

So I do some game recordings for YouTube for fun, nothing major or big.

Currently I am using the blue yeti caster set. So I have a Yeti Microphone, with an arm and shock mount.

But lately the mic has started to play up and disconnect at the slightest bump even with the shock mount. Even if I breathe. Or tap my desk lightly. Which makes game recording and playing with others frustrating as I have to restart the game to get the mic to work in game again.

Research here and on YouTube suggested the problem is a very common problem with yeti’s where the port that the USB cable goes into the mic is broken/loose. Hence why it disconnects at the slightest bump.

Hopefully mine should still be under warranty so while I chat with Logitech and Amazon. To either get a replacement or refund. I wanted to start researching other microphones. Or back up plan.

I was never really a fan of my Yeti at the start due to the fact that it is super sensitive. It picks up my keyboard and mouse even though it is far away with the gain all the way down. So I mic that is trust worthy and not super sensitive would be great.

In the case of a refund I would love and appreciate your opinion on what is a good replacement mic to get.

Thank you

And have a lovely day :)
