What about headsets (with an integrated microphone)?
Do many hackers (in startups or elsewhere) not need a mic? My use case is usually gaming but use cases like remote collaboration, calling people with a VOIP solution, recording voice for use as sound assets all seem like they would be common enough use cases.
Do most of us prefer separate solutions like a webcam integrated or desktop mic?
If not, what headsets are good? I've been getting by on relatively cheap headsets but the cords almost always fray and need replaced inside of year. I'm reluctant to spend more than $100 on a 'high quality' set like the 'Sennheiser PC 360' without experiencing them directly, but the reviews help. What are the good options out there?
- TomatoTomato 15y agoTripleFi 10vi has a replaceable headset cable. Also works with most customs -- using the cable on my JH16's right now.
- falcolas 15y agoBased off what I've seen, the best solution seems to be to pick up the headphones you want, then get one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029MTMQ/ http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00029MTMQ/
- rdl 15y agoI prefer the Blue USB mics. They're still pretty cheap (I paid $40 or so each for a couple Snowballs on sale), and you get a lot better audio quality (mic positioning, if nothing else). Andrew Warner uses one for his podcast, which is why I originally got mine. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/413696-REG/Blue_SNOWBALL_TW_Snowball_USB_Condenser_Microphone.html http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/413696-REG/Blue_SNOWBA... is one.
