 Joining the world of headsets
After hearing that I'm basically the only n00bfester to use speakers and a desktop mic, not a headset with a mic attached, I decided to get a headset (well, that and that it was an impulse buy from newegg, seeing as this is a sale item right now). I figure I can always plug it into my PS3 and use it for MW3, too...so, I figured why not? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... -_-text-_-It's shipping from CA today to WA, so I should have it soon. Hopefully it's not complete garbage!

 Re: Joining the world of headsets
^^ I also personally like to use a good headset and a separate mic, because a real set of cans > than gaming headsets. At least for sound quality and stuff

 Re: Joining the world of headsets
I can't ever see myself playing without headsets because I always need to blare it out so I can hear.

 Re: Joining the world of headsets
Any good suggestions for separate microphones? I like my comfy headphones and my headsets tend to fail me frequently.

Well now these days I actully run a pair of these: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Stereo-H ... 129&sr=8-1I hope within the next month or two to be running these: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-PC-360 ... B003DA4D2UI think I found with the PC 360's that I found the best combination of Sennheiser sound quality and PC practicality. I am also excited to try out "open ended" headphones as I've always have had closed ones. I do find the price tag F*CKING horrid though but I think I'll suck it up and try it out.

 Re: Joining the world of headsets
I have a desktop mic but i cant play with speakers anymore. I can't hear the footsteps as well because i have 5.1 speakers and i cant set them up so they are surrounding me.

 Re: Joining the world of headsets
I prefer separate setup but right now I'm using Turtle Beach Earforce X12's and they're fine. Not the best but okay, and the mic isn't as bad as some other setups. The mic is probably better than the headphones but the headphones are very loud which is good.
@Tazzaler, those PC 360's are boss as hell, I'd like them better if they came in a wireless configuration.

 Re: Joining the world of headsets
meh, honestly i prefer separate headgear and mic, cuz those headphones would never stand up to a legit pair of headphones, and any mic would do. paying extra for a mic attached to a meh pair of cans is overrated, i like a pair of jvc rx700, although if i cared enough about audio quality i would go for something much better
