What kind of mic should I buy?

[erik8ant]

I want to buy a mic mainly for streaming and online gaming, and maybe for making videos and online meeting. Logitech H250 or Blue Snowball? Just choose between these two only. If I choose Blue Snowball, can it eliminate gaming sound from speaker, typing sound from keyboard, background sound from fan, and breathing sound from me? Besides, will the sound be clear if I place it at the left bottom side on top of my table when I in front of my computer?

Looks like you cut and pasted the exact same question here and got a detailed response.

I would simply echo what has been already advised - these are headsets, not plain mics, and my vote would be for the Logitech for the same reasons, plus they are a much more established business with good technical support.

As far as your last question goes, since the H250 is a headset, your ears should hear the same quality sound no matter where you place the speaker.
