    Hi i had two headsets over the past year and each of the microphones stopped during 3 months of use. The first one was a venom vibration headset XT+ and the second is a corsair raptor hs30. They both have adjustable microphones and the microphone is the problem everything else works fine. I was thinking of getting a Creative Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless. Did any one else have the same problems or want to suggest a headset? Thank you in advance for any replies.

    I just velcro'd a cheap microphone onto a set of KRK Systems KNS-6400. If the mic ever dies I can just buy another one for less than a tenner. You can get a roll of velcro tape for about €3 in any pound shop or similar. I use a mic that's about 8 years old I found it in storage and it seems to work fine I just cut it off from the rest of the garbage it was attached to.

    99% of headphone mic combos suffer in quality some way, usually sound quality. There's some more eloquent solutions to the way I worked around it but you pay the price for it. http://www.modmic.com/ There might be some headphone mic combos that are actually decent and within price range these days but I haven't seen em'.
