I use the Blue Snowball USB microphone bought from the Apple  online store.
It's kind of overkill for what I need and my iMac's built-in mic is fine.

I use a high end sony microphone which is normally used with MD recorders. I said high end because it's the best microphone of this type that Sony makes, but it's not actually a professional one or anything. It's powered with batteries and it records reasonably well. Simpler microphones which don't have any power source don't work, at least they didn't work for me.

Hi!

This is a question I was asked by a friend who uses a Mac and its a damn good one in my view as I've never seen an answer to it, he wants to know what sort of microphone one would use for the input 3.5MM jack of an Intel Mac? As far as I'm aware, these sockets don't work with your standard type of powered microphone you'd use as a standard accessary with say a creative Sound Blaster or something like that, anyone got any thoughts on this?

As for me? Well I'll stick with my Logitech USB Desktop microphone, they're about $40.00 each and for general use they're more than acceptable, easy to set up and son on.
