I use bluesnowball, people say it sounds pretty good
Samson Q2U.
Blue Yetis are not really that great for what you want in the end. I had one and I was lead by multiple people claiming condensers were really good in any environment; but they failed to be actually informative and tell you that your environment is just as important as your microphone. I also suggest against a Blue Yeti because mine broke in less than a year.
Condensers are super sensitive; therefore if you're in a room with wooden surfaces such as flooring or walls then the sound is going to effectively bounce off from each other creating a long reverb / echo effect. Dynamics will be much more reliant in these types of environments because of how they are made and you'd need to use it close to your face to make it decently effective, unlike condensers (Blue Yeti, Snowballs) that pick up anything you throw at it.
So yeah. I suggest condensers if what you're wanting is a lot of background noise, but don't get mislead.
The microphone I recommended is both USB and XLR input, USB does not require any interfaces or mixers whereas XLR does, however the bandwidth is much better. So your upgrade path is pretty much straight forward.
Using interface/XLR = much better sound.
USB/Decent sound = Can directly input into your computer.
Dynamic = Used in less-friendly environments for audio.
Condensers = used for friendly environments for audio, super sensitive.
