So I stream League of Legends on twitch and I'd like to reinvest donation money into making my stream better. For this I decided an upgrade to the microphone on my Astro A40s would be needed.

For this I would need a mic hovering around 80$ and that would be able to provide good sound quality while not picking up on background noises (as I stream in an open room with my family conversing and making noise. My A40s slightly pic up on this, but it is not much of a problem since the sensitivity is lower as the mic is barely 5 cm from my face.

My main concern is that I see mics like Blue's Snowball Microphone who are omnidirectional and this concerns me. do they pick up every sounds, can I filter some of my background noise. I usually stream in the corner of a basement, with my family being anywhere from 1 to 5 meters away from me.
