For the past few years I have been using my Sennheiser 363D for my gaming headset.
Unfortunately the mic got caught onto something and I snapped it.
Now, I dont want to purchase a new headset if I dont have to, so I was considering getting a desktop mic.
Some quick google search results show that Floureon BM-800 seems like a good budget choice.
Considering the price point, I was about to purchase it when I realized that apparently my PC might not be able to power the mic. Some recommend a $20 "48V phantom power supply" to go with the mic.
Now my question is.. do I need the power supply or is my desktop gonna be able to power it? I am using onboard sound from Asus Maximus VII Ranger.
Are there any other better "budget" options out there for someone like me who is only gonna use it to talk to people over voip and gaming sessions?
While I dont want to spend too much, I definately dont want a mic that will result in weak sounding voice.
