New Wireless/Cordless Alloy Microphone + Mini Receiver

good for recording my voice? is it as good as a studio mic?

Answer 1

I just looked at the e-bay ad and I would not recommend this microphone.  In the US it would cost $8.  It is most probably junk.  If you want a good microphone that will really sound pretty good, you will need to spend 25 pounds or more (at least $50) and even that is a very cheap mic.

Here is a good one for the computer:

These must be available in the UK too.
