Lib3l Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 So I recently build a new pc and on my old laptop I used my built in mic (which was surprisingly good for built in) but now of course I have no mic. I do have a pair of old sennheiser headphones but the wire connection is kinda funky. I looked a headsets on amazon but they just seems too good for the price: https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Headsets/Headphones-Mixcder-Vibration-Cancelling-Lightweight-Comfortable-Computers/B01EXZ6WAO/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/PC-Headsets/Headset-Microphone-Over-ear-Headphones-Computer/B01JOYDRIE/ Things like this are a good price but what makes them that price? My guesses is the build quality is pretty shit but idk. Are there any good budget headsets for around £25 or less with a fairly good microphone? Any help, much thanks.

umer Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Bro, don't get shitty gaming headsets. Shit audio quality. I've got a pair on Xiaomi Piston earphones that cost me £10, that has fucking good audio for the price. I wear them all the time instead of my £150 headphones cuz the difference isn't too much. Just look for a standalone mic. I googled budget mics once and there was a clip-on mic for £10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budi Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I bought these after Logitech G430s my Logitech G35's lasted 5+ years. I was going to get a $150 dollar pair, but settled on these because they were $40 and I didn't feel like shelling out that much for a headset. The audio is actually excellent on them, it has a mute button/volume adjuster on the cord, and the sound is actually true surround sound in game, I can hear players audio behind me, on the sides, etc. Very comfortable cloth as well. It can be plugged in with audio cords or the usb connector, but the only catch was to get the surround sound 7.1 audio you had to connect it to your computer via the usb. Still, a very nice budget headset. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQ35C1Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Wokath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lib3l Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 I googled budget mics once and there was a clip-on mic for £10. May have to, I'm happy with my current headphones I guess and it's mostly for in-game/discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaim Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 https://youtu.be/nqWb_72UXN4?t=1m15s https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001R76D42/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s01?tag=mt005-20&ie=UTF8&psc=1 MS Tech (very good setup/tech youtuber) recommended this mic in one of his videos. He said he was using it during the recording for the video, and his voice quality in that vid is super good. maybe look into it kind of expensive, but just thought id suggest it if you were willing to spend a bit more, or if anyone else is interested in a decent dedicated mic.

You're better off just saving up some more cash to get a headset that is solid and will last you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Penguins Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Thanks for the recommendation but unfortunately they are almost £50 in the UK which is crazy compared to the US and kinda out of my budget. :/ Try the this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BFOEY4I) it's almost the same, but with a few less features.
