While not under $50, I always recommend this mic if anyone wants a budget mic with good quality: https://www.audio-technica.com/en-us/at2005usb

It's $63 on Audio Technica's website, and $59 on Amazon.

You can use USB, or XLR if you have an interface. It also has a direct audio jack so you can hear yourself without a delay. During my podcast / radio production / streaming days, I used a friend's, and it sounds great.

It's not bulky like the Blue Yetis / Snowballs, and it's a low profile, so if you decide to stream or whatever, it's out of the way.
