Hey, since I do not currently have a microphone/headset, I would like to know what you guys (or girls if applicable) would recommend. Budget wise, I'm planning to spend less that $40 (American dollars). But I would prefer to spend around $25. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, let me know of any good places to buy (In the USA). Thanks!
Recommendations for buying a microphone/headset

Well, I bought a cheapo headset but I now regret it. They're uncomfortable, and do not surround me with sound as my 5.1 surround speakers do.
If you want just a microphone with no headphones, that'd be the cheapest route.

MISTAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hmmm well u have two choices, buy a 10 dollar boom mic that sounds like shit.......
or...
i use newegg.com for all my purchases, u save alot, but i know many people do not have credit cards
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc…N82E16826158082i personally like the fatality headset, which is cheap but quality, nice sound, its 50$ at stores like best buy and frys, but 42 at Newegg.com
just look for a descent looking over the ear headset from any of ur local tech shops like best buy, frys, circuit city, or any others.
Also dont feel pressured by DMC_RULEZ to buy a fancy 300$ headset, and dont listen what he has to say about the fatal1ty headset, it is a good headset regardless of what he says

Here you find the cheapest Logitech headset:

But if I had $50 I´d rather go for that fatality one

ripley i had that headset it was cheap but it goes around your neck not your head so its uncomfortable to wear and mine broke fairly soon.
heres my headset the audio is not the best but the mic is good and its comfortable.

Thanks for the tips guys. Well, the logitech ones have really bad reviews so I guess I'll end up buying the fatal1ty one. Bad thing is that I going to have to wait a while (about 2 weeks because right now I am saving up for a trip) to buy it. If anyone finds a good place to buy it from (be it internet or local store) that is less that newegg's $42 let me know. Once again, thanks.
