As requested, we had Patrick review the wireless USB microphone used in our past couple videos. The Samson XPD1 is a wireless USB microphone you would not expect to be such high quality! As you can hear from our footage the microphone sounds great and works especially well for making videos and doing live broadcasts. 
A couple things to notice about this micorphone: 
1. It only costs $99 which includes the microphone/headset and wireless receiver with USB transmitter
2. It can be ordered as a headset, lapel or hand held microphone
3. The wireless range works up to 100'
4. The only audio output option is USB 2.0. So it's perfect for live streaming with a PC, Mac or any computer based software
5. It requires (2) AA batteries which will last up to 8 hours. 
6. Finally, we noticed that you must turn the gain almost all the way up to achieve best quality. (atleast with our testing)
