killzone Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 What kind of mic do i need??? would this one do?? http://www.ebgames.com.au/pc-147150-Microsoft-Lifechat-LX2000-Headset-PC or do i need a specific mic? Quote
Saizou Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 I think any kind of mic should do as long as it works, though headsets are easier to use than mic that stands on table. IMO that one on link should be good. Quote
IntenT- Posted February 1, 2010 Posted February 1, 2010 Any headset or microphone that is for the PC will be fine. I looked on that specific site for you, since i'm in the USA and your in australia. I would recommend one of these 2 choice over the one you mentioned for the same amount of money or less. http://www.ebgames.com.au/pc-146021-Plantronics-Audio-325-Headset-PC http://www.ebgames.com.au/pc-148745-Plantronics-Audio-326-Headset-PC I'm pretty sure the only major difference is the 326 model has an in line volume adjustor and mic switch. If you wanted to shop around you could do better though. Heres a few links, I dont know about shipping and all that but i'm sure you can find these in stores and online where you live also. Also some have onboard sound built in, and use usb over jacks. Unless your have an aftermarket audio card, I would suggest one of these for the best bang for your buck when it comes to gaming sound quality and microphone quality. A good website to find a good price on a headset you want, or to browse headsets. (i put the search field pantronics in this page for you, replace it with logitech or whatever else you might find) http://www.pricespy.com.au/pno_8746.html'>http://www.pricespy.com.au/pno_8746.html http://www.pricespy.com.au American Sites USB headsets Logitech 45 bucks USB http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3296232&CatId=2382 Edimensional gaming headset 60 bucks USB http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3261744&CatId=2382 Razor rz04 Gaming headset 70 dollars USB http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4424374&CatId=2382 Regular headsets jacked Logitech 15-20 bucks http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3119074&CatId=2382 Logitech Gaming headset 40 bucks http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3235570&CatId=2382 Some australian links Fatality creative lab headset Jacked non usb http://www.expresspcparts.com.au/Items/snd-109-alt-cfgh?&caSKU=snd-109-alt-cfgh&caTitle=Creative%20Fatal1ty%20Gaming%20Headset%20with%20Microphone%20NEW Logitech jacked headset $17.00 http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II02650&catpath=0_15 Logitech premium jacked non usb $29.00 http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II02990&catpath=0_15'>http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II02990&catpath=0_15 USB headets Logitech clearchat headset USB $49.00 http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II00759&catpath=0_15 Plantronics Gaming headset USB $42.90 http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II04916&catpath=0_15'>http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II04916&catpath=0_15 Plantronics Ultimate gaming headset $90.20 http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II05306&catpath=0_15 If you want jacked headsets I would recommend for a good price http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II02990&catpath=0_15 If you want USB headsets I would suggest these for a good price (overall I would recommend these) http://www.gocomp.com.au/index.php?cpath=productinfo&pid=II04916&catpath=0_15 Hopefully this will answer your questions and help you start your search.

Matty_c Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Speaking of vent I can't get mine to work... I know the mic works becasue I can record with sound recorder and when I play it back I hear it. I'm not sure what settings I need to change in vent though. Any ideas anybody ??
