Mic recommendation

I previously owned a pair of cloud II’s, but unfortunately they broke, so i decided to make an upgrade, i picked up a pair of sennheiser hd 599 for 80€ during black friday and now i’m torn on what microphone to pick. I don’t have an audio interface and i don’t plan on buying one, at least in the next months. I saw a couple deals on some used microphones, such as a samson g2u for 40€ (with a table stand, almost brand new, used just a couple times) a samson meteor for 15€, a seiren mini for about 20€, hyperx solocast for about 20€, all in the same conditions as the g2u. For new ones i saw a fifine ampligame a6v (without boom arm) for 20-25€, a fifine ampligame a6t (with boom arm) for around 35€, a maono dgm20s for 35€. I’d rather a microphone with a boom arm than one with a table stand, not having that much space on my desk, i’m also okay with buying a boom arm for a microphone with only a table stand (as long as i don’t spend more than 40€ for both) but i’m okay with spending less for a great bang for the buck, but with only a table stand or spending a bit more for a way better quality microphone with only a table stand. I’ll use the mic for some discord calls, gaming, definitely light use, so, i know some of the mics i listed may be a bit overkill, but i’m okay with spending 30-35€ now for a mic that’ll last, than spending 15€ for a shitty mic. As i said, my maximum budget is around 40€. Mind that i live in Italy (sorry if there are some errors, i tried my best to be clear and make as less errors as possible)
