Mike / headset

po0k

I essentially want a mike with a long lead that I can either affix to my sennheisers (chunky HD500As) or wear around my neck.
Must have a long lead.


Alternatively recommend a decent cheap headset with a good mike that I can put around my neck.

Ideally mike would have an inbuilt wind woofle thing (foam around the mike).

Get a USB mic they dont cause any **** and just do what they meant to, doint interfere with any setups inlike normal ones which the wire is always too fcukin short.

I got something similar to this: Microphone
in Maplin over the weekend. Good long lead on it, quality seems to be ok....

actually I have the exact same problem as paek.
same make/model headphones and all.

I hate having to use crappy headsets, yet no good headphones come with built in mic

great sound quality and great mic quality, been using them about 6 months.

Might just get the 150s.
The 500As aren't actually mine, I robbed them from home so I suppose I may aswell send them back. Pity though, they're the only pair of headphones I've found that fit my head and ears perfectly.

Just ordered a Medusa from overclockers.co.uk.
It should arrive in a few days, gonna test it out and see.

Anyone else own a pair (non-USB, rev 1/2)?
Gonna be hooking them up to NF4 onboard first, and then SB Audigy2ZS, with Creative Inspire T7900s on the pass through.

SyxPak the Medusas are great. I have a set of them for a year now and cant fault them.

Lidl do great ones from time to timf for like 15 yoyo and mine is great. I also have skarkoon one that cost 25 but I think the lidl one is far better sounds great and the lead is a good lenght. It also vibrates though I dont use that. You should hear the vibration when ya take off in a euro fighter and the engine kicks in.. But it gets anoying after a while so I turn it of

i still stand solidly by my sennheiser pc150's
ive had them about 15 months now and they still work perfectly even with my ear shattering volume levels.

my next headset will either be 150's or the next version of them.

I've a pair of HD500As at the moment. The speakers are still in their box....


....6 months after buying them :v:

I have a set of Microsoft Sidewinder Game voice headsets, personally I love them, earphones + with a mike at the end.

Built by plantronics, they also come with a handy set of buttons which you can adjust for speaking to differnet groups of people or all. You can also connect your speakers to them so you only get the voice in the earphones, regular sound out of the speakers.

Not sure if you can still get them mine are maybe 3-4 years old but still work perfect.

Think be good till have voice only on earphones & rest of sound on speakers. Annoyin tryin to adjust if wanna use em.
