If you are going to use it for vocal recording and your on a tight budget, you can use a dynamic vocal mic like the Sennheiser e835. The e835 is a good vocal microphone that gives an "as is" vocal output. It does not give any bassy nor a low mid sound unlike most other brands. For recording purposes, the ideal sound should sound "natural". Imagine someone speaking infront of you inside a recording studio without any microphone - that is exactly what you should hear in your recording once you listen on good quality headphones. If you have more budget, you can use the Sennheiser e914. Its a condenser mic mostly used for choirs, but also gives a very good vocal output. It adds more clarity and presence compared to the e835.
