Buying a Mic

[Chobber]

I've got the USB Creative Fatal1ty Gamimg Headset and it is absolutley AMAZING. Very comfortable, high quality, and a long cord to boot. I would definitley reccomend it.

 

PICS!

 

 

As Mystique, Eversmen and Loganator; I got the Creative Fatal1ty USB Headset as well.. It really is the best headset I've ever had, as well as the setup and use is VERY easy and quality good!

 

From my experience you should go with an USB headset, nonetheless!!

I thought USB mics used onboard sound, not your soundcard.

Go with the fatal1ty's if you want to save money but get a great set, I have a pair which has been just great, the mic is clear and beautiful. Plantronics also makes more generic sets that are even cheaper, but not geared straight for gaming. IF you can break the bank, Razer makes a pretty ridiculous headset with in-headphone surround, it is very good for gaming because of this, but around 120 and you need a surround-sound capable sound card.

I've heard it is actually not so good (especially for the money) and that it has no bass at all, or very little. I don't have it though, so I don't know for sure.

This is real cheap mic only and is what I use. I have a good pair of head phone and just clip this thing onto the headphone's wire. It picks up my voice pretty well, but it always picks up a fair amount of background sound, so if your computer is in a room with a TV or other people, you might want to look elsewhere.
