I have a Shure WH30 that works quite well and is inexpensive. Be sure to get the right (XLR) connector.
I don't use it much, but when I have, it sounded really good.

Hmmmm ... $3000 keyboard with the best harmonizer in the biz - don't use a cheap mic! You can get lots of good gear for very modest prices. Don't skimp on the mic - it's the same premise as in many computer actions:
Garbage IN - Garbage OUT.

Get a good mic

While i do agree with your logic... i am not going to spend a whole lot of money for something that i plan to use just a few times.. and yes there is cheep, as in not costing a fortune, as there is cheep as allmost a free give away...

Bachus, I will make you a great deal, one that I believe you will never regret, but it will cost you $150 US plus shipping. I have three Crown CM311-A headset mics, and I have retired. I have one that has never been used, other than to make sure it works. This, IMO, is one of the best headset mics ever produced and provides the highest quality vocals with incredible feedback rejection. The mic sells online for $419 and it is rare to see it priced lower.

Crown CM311A

Let me know if you are interested,

Gary cool

Now that's a deal. If I didn't have two Sennheisers, I would grab it.
