I am looking for a new mic for gameplay recordings with voice overs & live stream on YT. for now i am using Maono au 902 but it gives distorted sound & getting lots of comments to change the mic.
I am on PC system.

Try RTX Voice before buying new hardware. I dont have recommendations but people here might.

My HyperX Stinger's mic used to have relatively low volume & pick up background noise easily. Former was fixed by increasing its gain somewhere in windows, latter was fixed using Nvidia Broadcast. Try this if you own an RTX GPU.

Do you know any alternative for non-RTX owners?

OP - Your current mic costs 4k on amazon usually.

Something like this is 3k:

RTX Voice works on 16 series GPU as well

I used it with FIFINE microphone (bought around 2k) + 1660 super

4k is too much, last time spend that much and it works for 2 & half year. So this time i have budget around 2k. BTW Jbl one looks good.
Also there is one with maono brand *www.amazon.in/MSI-Esports-Monitor-1920x1080-FreeSync/dp/B0BNGP36KY/ but not sure is it worth spending 1000 more on jbl then this.

Since my usage is meetings & discord calls while gaming, Nvidia Broadcast does a great job of noise suppression. Maybe get the JBL one, it was apparently 2k a few days back, but since main sale is almost over, prices have gone back to normal for most products.

I'm not an expert on mics & I think streamers use mics like Blue Yeti which are much more expensive. Maybe try hifivision forum.
