A good mic

[kat-24]

Hey guys, this might be the wrong forum (sorry) but does any one know a good mic or headset i could get for a reasonable price? I've tried several before as well.

Could you post the link to a good mic or headset or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

how much are you willing to pay

30-70 if at all possible

I use this Creative headset. They also have a USB version if that's your thing.

I highly recommend the standard dual plug one as it has good sound and a good mic for a good price.

I use an OLD (like 7 years old) KOSS mini-phone jack desk mic.
Is that old school or what?
It's like $15 I bet.

I also use a Sure SM58 ($100) into a Lexicon Omega USB interface ($200 now), but that is not so hot for gaming.

Here's the one I use: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...adset&lp=4&type=product&cp=1&id=1099395744084

I am on my second one, but my first one lasted one and a half years, and that is with countless drops due to my sister playing with them. However, I'm wondering if they're being discontinued because I can't find them on NewEgg any more.

Thanks for all the suggestions, but before I buy one, is there some sort of software i need to make a mic work, I plug it into the right port, and everything, do certain mics require said software?

I think by definition of what they are, headphones cannot be anything more than 2.

I highly recommend this USB desktop mic from Logitech:

With this setup, you can wear headphones of your choice, or no headphones at all if you have external desktop speakers.

I have the best mic you can get. It's a $1 clip on from a warehouse. You people and your expensive headsets, I laugh at you! Oh and I also got 10 bucks logitech speakers that work pretty good.

I use my web cam, the mic is good enough and usually 1.5 feet away from my face.

It is USB.

Ummm i would recommend the saitek headset

That is what i use, it's cheap, but it works extremely well imo. I am easily understood over mic, I can tell which direction peeps are coming from.
