Good usb Mic that wont pick up back ground noise?

[NeoHippy]

I would strongly recommend to save up some more money and buy a usb interface and a usual xlr mic. Cause if you have some more money the future you also can buy better mics and use them with your interface. With the usb mic you will be unsatisfied sooner or later!

Maybe a dynamic mic would suit you better. They usually require a pretty good preamp since they need lots of gain. However, I did find a USB one (see below). Don't know how much it costs, but check it out.
