For the best audio experience it is recommended to get a Mixer, XLR Microphone, and Headphones. The mixer that I personally recommend is the Focusrite Scarlett Solo (3rd Gen). This is a USB audio interface that has everything that you will need for all of your audio devices to connect to and has a compact design that will not take too much space on your desk. The Mixer comes
in at $99.99 and seems pricey but when you see mixers similar
to this, it can be two times the price so it's worth it in my opinion.
The Audio-Technica AT2020 currently comes in at the price of $100 and has anything that a microphone nearly 4x times the price has. From being a cardioid condenser microphone at this price at very high build quality it's just not possible to find a microphone from a brand as good as Audio-Technica for the same price with all the features and specifications that the AT2020 comes with.
The HyperX Cloud II are a pair of headphones that come in at the price of $100 and come with basically everything you will need. The difference between lets say some random $40 dollar headphones is that first of all, HyperX is a very well know brand in the gaming industry so you know you're getting a product that has very nice build quality as well as different features that you won't get. Some of these features include built in 7.1 Surround Sound, Memory Foam Ear Pads, A Durable Aluminum Frame, and a Detachable Microphone. For the price of these headphones while you could get something somewhat similar for half the price, I would instead with reliable and one that will last longer in the long run.
