I'm looking for a good microphone
« on: December 14, 2012, 09:41:22 pm »
I started out with a 15 dollar one then upgraded to a nice 30$ one. I'd like to put my Christmas funds toward getting a new headset, any ideas?
I'm looking for:
-I typically wear it around my neck, dont use headphone part.
-Something that has nice audio levels and no wind sound (My wind part broke or never was part of it)
-Durable and lasts a long time for a nice price

Here's a tip. Put your mic somewhere your cat can't reach it.
For example: In a closet. In a shelve. On your head. In your pants. In your mothers pants. In my pants. In the national banks vault.

Thanks for showing me around, however I have to make a decision soon. Any good headsets that are designed to be worn on the neck, that's all I do with mine.
