Gaming Microphone Or Headset Microphone?

[Stiria21 14]

I am soon to be the owner of an entirely new and up to date computer suite and have come up with a slight problem on what to purchase as a peripheral. Continue on as I have always done and have the headset microphone or purchase a full standalone microphone rig. And if so on the standalone. What brand and what extra equipment will be needed. If anyone happens to know about this, I would love recommendations for equipment.

Just buy a Logitech mic stand from your local electronic store. Costs a grand total of $20 and works fine.

I've simply used a surround sound speaker setup with a rock-band video game USB microphone for the past 5 years. Worked well for me so far. I still prefer headsets for communicating though. Browse newegg for a good, relatively cheap one. Here is one of the best headsets to of ever been marketed, it's been around for a very long time and will suit your needs.

I don't care about your whole not clicking links thing, you know I don't do that ****.

Never not headsets

I've been using the Gioteck (Giotech?) EX-05 for nearly a year now, it hasn't broken, and it has great quality. It can connect to computers, and consoles if need be. It's also so comfortable :P

 

That's my shameless plug and recommendation.

Get the Sony wireless headset that is normally used for the PlayStation. It's damn good, and wireless.

I use speakers because my pc's headphone port got ****** up and I need to replace it or something. Whenever I got headphones, I just got some cheap-ass 20 dollar thing. Lasts me a few months then I buy another one. Repeat cycle.

For a while I had an Astro A40 Headset, had no complaints but dogs mixing with headsets dont work well, currently using a turtle beach. Meh, its okay I suppose, fairly cheap as well.

Convienience is key. Pick up a $20-$40 Logitech headset from Best Buy and you're set for a while.
