You could get a nice pair of headphones with replaceable cables and plug this in.

Its no longer a separate thing.

>>323261635
the mic is one of the best you can find for a gaming headset

compared to a separate mic like blue yeti its still shit

Yes, Qpad and some other vendor used them too. Its just a rebranded chinese headphone which actually sounds good.

>Headset

Stop.

I use g930 for like 3 years and it's working like a charm. Except that some parts of this design are easy to break, but duct tape fixes everything.

>inb4 this thread gets detailed by cucks spamming ">headset"

intimidated cos some ppl have better mics than your defective piece of plastic dangling from your ear?

oh theres just this autistic kid who get a boner from typing that word

Headset threads are always full of pseudoaudiophiles using low end headphones connected to their motherboard and pretending that having a desk mic / mod mic with extra cables everywhere is better.
All they're trying to do it emulate their favourite youtubers / streamers like impressionable cancer
Just get a gaming headset

>>323262430
This quite desu senpai

>>323262430
youtube is filled with 12 year olds doing minecraft lets plays, who gives a f anymore?
most streamers use headsets.
desk mic is better tehcnically but i think headset is better for OP

>>323262430
i have high end shit with the relevant passthroughs
then again i dont post in these threads just laugh at the people thinking they know what they're talking about

>>323262186
they suck ass

Im kinda interested in one for the short-term for my bf so he can use it more for gaming and for skype stuff since he tends to walk around his house or whatever and he could have his hands free.

Once we move in together, going to use my mxl v67i.

>>323262430
except....youre completely wrong?
>having a pc and not able to handle cables
Most people who are youtubers record seperate audio feeds and link them up in post.
The only reason to have a headset, would be to remain mobile.

kinda off topic, but any recommendations for xbox one headset for livestreams? my friends tell me to just use the chat headset that comes with the xbox

>>323262684
Desk mics are made for people recording audio professionally
Instead all you're doing is introducing more problems for zero benefit
Mic needs to be positioned correctly, if you move you get different sound levels, typing or hitting desk when moving mouse causes thuds, you need extra equipment just to get a avoid this shit
Even after all this, the codecs on teamspeak / game servers are garbage and cut off the extra quality.
If you have a desk mic and you don't produce content, kill yourself.

>>323263126
'tis an awesome thing to see. who bottoms?

>>323263126
I know they suck ass. i was trying to tell some fgt about how g930 is still a headset and not a desk mic.

>>323263249
haha. it seems that you think the only things a mic can be used for are game servers and teamspeak.
blow me

I picked up the Hyper X Cloud II for 50 or 60 bucks this past African-American Friday.

Mic is nice, the headset is LOUD AS FUCK, cancels noise well. Mic is removable, cups interchangeable. Only downside is the volume buttons for sound+mic make a fucking annoying blutooth noise every time you change sound, so I use my keyboard's sound scroller instead.

Usually never pay more than 20-35 bucks for a headset, but wanted to try this since it looked neat.

>>323263681
You got scammed.

>>323262276
$15 gets you almost any microphone. It's just about your desktop setup and sensitivity settings for each of your devices.

Headset mics are better because they don't pick up a mouse moving across the room at the neighbors house

I'm not a fan of push to talk so desktop mics are a no go, they pick up everything.

I can speak for the vmoda boom mic, sounds great and cancels noise fine. I had the zalman but didn't like the quality that much, it's kinda shit.

Currently I bought some a50s for 140 and love them, but obviously not for everyone since they're expensive as hell. But having a wireless headset is very nice.
Even though their sound isn't as clean as my crossfade wireless its worth it because they have a mic that sounds good and cancels noise.

tldr buy a nice pair of cans with detachable cables, get a vmoda boom mic, and be happy knowing you have a good quality mic that doesn't sound like shit like the zalmans do. Spending some extra money on audio equipment is worth it.

>>323263621
Not the poster you're replying to, but name something other than game servers, teamspeak, or producing content that a mic can be used for?

And if you pull some bullshit like "conference calls", kill yourself because you don't need anything even remotely better than what's used for the other things.

>>323263303
Im the submissive one I guess. More of a power bottom but I can switch. I'm the woman if that helps.

>>323263865
>what are settings
Push to talk has NOTHING to do with picking up extra noise. Those are your microphone and windows microphone settings.

Here's my protip: don't spend as much as this tard.

>>323263759
Sure did. I can still hear the scamming now

>>323264052
Argue all you want, desktop mics pick up way more things, and that's why a lot of people avoid them.

>>323264172
No they don't. Only your shitty models have. Welcome to testimonials 101. Different people have and experience different things.

>>323263969
not poster, but
spending extra money 2 look cool

>>323264018
You sound like a lot of fun.

>>323264052
>Set settings up so that my voice is heard nicely
>"I can hear your keyboard clicking"
>Set settings up so that you can't hear the keyboard
>"I can barely hear you"

Versus with push to talk, you're not picking up random noises, just exactly what you want to say since you control when you're transmitting.

But he is indeed, an idiot for blowing that much money.

>>323264306
>extra money

Headsets are overpriced, sound like crap and break all the time.

>>323264236
I work at best buy, I've given plenty of different desktop mics a chance because I get tech very cheap and I know how to mess with settings, none work with the environment I live in, alongside my mechanical keyboard.

Realize that some people have different circumstances kid.

Fuck you i hate faggots like you.
I hope you get cancer and die.
You ruin everything.
Every time i meet one of you faggots i hold my PTT button down and shove my mic up to like +60db and blow your shit.
You cancerous fucks.

>>323263249
bullshit. i dont know about teamspeak, but game servers, skype and even steam voice chat still has the quality.

>>323264427
>none work with the environment I live in, alongside my mechanical keyboard.
Do you live in a ghetto? What the fuck is your microphone going to pick up? Gunshots?

>>323264396
>break all the time.

Every time I owned a headset that broke, it was because of the cable getting all twisted up. I can't see how the same wouldn't happen to headphones.

>>323264526
I was going to post this. Even Dota has nice voice chat if you have quality mic of course.

Maybe hes a console player and turtle beach fan?

>>323264584
nobodys talkin about headphones rn

>>323264658
yup. and also csgo. before i got my mic everyone was complaining about how shit my sound quality was and how i echo rly loudly. i get my mic and the complaints stop.

>>323264745

All I've heard about Logitech headsets is that the headband breaks.

You could just replace the cable on a headphone.

>>323264915
we're talking about mics, autistic fuck.
OP doesnt want anything separate but still needs a mic, therefore ruling out anything that doesnt have a mic. like headphones and "EARBUDS".

>>323264938
Logitech is shit, that was how my 30 dollar G whatever broke and it's hilarious to see 100+ dollar versions of that same shit break the same way.

You've gotta assume that your headphones have detachable cables in order for that solution to work though.

The mic is fucking perfect and doesn't get in the way at all. Good quality too. If this headset breaks, I'll probably replace it with the same one.
Can't go back to a long mic anymore.

>>323265296
>good enough quality

Good enough for what? I'm not going to record music through dota or cs voice chat, but for communication is more than enough and certainly not garbage with $15 to $30 mics like sony or v moda.

I am considering getting a Playstation Gold Wireless Headset since it's a 7.1, is it any good?

Why the fuck did you buy a carcharias? Thing is shit. Return it if you still have the receipt ASAP

>>323268107
You don't need a 7.1 headset to get surround sound through headphones.

you can also configure steam mic options
