mic suggestions?

[stanley]

ive needed a mic for some time now, and im finally going to get one. Unfortunately i know nothing about good mics, or how much money ill actually have to spend to get a good one. Anyway, if anyone who knows more about mics than me and wants to give me advice on what to get, i would appreciate it

The only mics I'd suggest would be headsets. I wouldn't go with what a lot of people seem to have, which is just a mic. I hate having to hear people talk and hear what's going on in their game. I use Turtle Beach headsets, so take a pick from those I suppose. See what other people have to say first however.

me, mike, tony and mitch all use this mic, it is cheap to buy, high in quality! get it! logitech!

[Nikki Wolf]

Yes, headsets are more convenient. Mics work, but are better suited for Skype conversations and the like, unless you have that good of a mic. (ones that cancel out background noise)

[Patrid]

Or you can pull a patrid and buy the cheapest mic...place it across the room and yell. You won't pick up any background noise!

Do you have a sound card? Are you using headphones? Do you not like headphones?

Whats your budget then?

A few I can think of off the top of my head are these

Anything from these guys http://steelseries.com/products/audio

HD555s with a cheap logitech desk mic (this is what I use) http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD555- ... 668&sr=1-1 and http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-981-0002 ... 688&sr=1-1

PC151s (I have these and love them) http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-151 ... 655&sr=1-1

Fatal1ty Gaming Headset http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DS4HTM

PC360 Headset http://www.amazon.com/PC-360-Headset-Pr ... 746&sr=1-5



I also can suggest to stay away from anything Razer or Logitech when it comes to headphones. They simply don't sound as good as the Sennhisers, C Labs, or Steels, and generally cost more. You're paying for lights with those guys.

This is what I rock: http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/ps3-gaming-headsets/ear-force-dpx21.aspx
A little on the pricy side (150 USD), but totally worth it. Sound quality is amazing. Pretty much any Turtle Beach would do really.

As Volty said (and I already mentioned), Turtle Beach is totally worth paying for. I use these babies at the moment. B-e-aaaa-uuuuuuutiful.

(On a sidenote, I wouldn't suggest big-cup headphones if you have giant holes in your ears like I do. Real uncomfy sometimes. Although this probably doesn't apply to you or anyone.)

Or you could be like Rustic and buy a computer with a built in Mic/Webcam.

I can only imagine that you're playing on a laptop.

Don't hate on my laptop gaming skillz!

Are you one of our awesome Macbook players? I've tried playing on my Macbook but I always just come away sad.

[Rustic Apple]

Nope.avi. Got me a brand spankin' new Asus that I use for all my gaming needs, since I don't have the room for a Desktop. If space weren't a concern, I'd have my friend build me one.

[Techercizer]

Do you guys know any Sennheiser models you like in particular? My current one is too quiet for people to hear me explaining why it might be a good thing my mic is too quiet.
