What kind of Microphone do you use?

I've been looking around for a microphone to use for the TokBox. I've found and brought a webcam that although the recording is fine, the inbuilt microphone is rubbish. I've tried using a pin on mic but TokBox barely picks up the sound and my headseat's microphone doesn't seem to be recognised by TokBox despite that both work fine on Steam games like Team Fortress 2. So, what microphones do you guys and gals use to talk to your fellow gamers on Roll20? Edit: Here's the Headset: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digitus-DA-12200-Multimedia-Headset-Microphone/dp/B004OXQJQ8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1347007615&sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Digitus-DA-12200-Multimedia-Headset-Microphone/dp/B004OXQJQ8/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1347007615&sr=8-3</a> Here's the Clip-On Mic: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004YEWC22/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004YEWC22/ref=oh_details_o04_s01_i00</a> Here's the Camera: <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004J452RO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004J452RO/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00</a> None of their mic functions seem brilliant with TokBox. :/
I usually use a no-brand 3-dollar microphone from China. It's worked great, from Mumble to hangouts to Skype.
You sure you don't have any links from where you brought it?
I use a Turtle Beach Head Set with a Wrap Around Mike, as far as I can tell it seems to work fine.
