Recommendation for a stand-alone microphone?

[Berteh]

Alright, so of late on the computer forums there have been an absolute shit tonne of threads asking about when headset is the best, and many people who have given advice have suggested having a pair of headphones and a stand alone microphone.

Eventually I want to delve into making YouTube videos of various genres, and the idea of having a crystal clear microphone like many of the people who do commentary on their videos sounds like a brilliant idea to me, instead of one that doesn't specialise in sound quality just clipped onto the side of my headphones. (I'm thinking radio-presenter style microphone)

I'm willing to spend up to $100 AUD and if I'm not going to get anything remotely decent around that price range I am willing to go a fair bit higher.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Far from crystal clear sound that is used for commentaries though. That is what the OP was looking for.

P.S It's a nice basic mic though, I think I got exactly the same one back home.
