I'll chime in...

I use an CAD Equitek E-100...paid 300$ (new) as a 1996 Xmas present to myself from a music store I'd traded with since 1975....20 years old this Xmas.

(Gold and black)

I tested it with three other mics (Sennheiser and one 2 other popular brands I can't recall) and picked this one easily.

Personally, I'd recommend testing some mics prior to purchase and not let price be main criteria. (Ideally, tested on your playback system)
You'll want it to sound good on your voice.
Cheap mics can sound grainy and have a sense of less presence....so listen carefully during test.
My Equitek is flat but with a 2db bump at 4k which works well for my voice.
Frequency rolls off to -10db to 20K....irrelevant to me.
(It's the one I used on all my soundclick tracks)
I love this mic but you'll you'll have a plethora of choices to choose from during your research.

Dynamics...I have a 1/2 dozen SM57's and an old Shure Unisphere I from 1973.
Can't beat them as well proven tools.

Hope that helps....back to it.....
