Desktop mics

[Pitbull]

Anyone use Desktop mics?

I use one and then Skullcandy headphones. I have a 7.1 surround sound system just standing there I only use it when I watch movies not for gaming.

This caught my attention based on the other headset thread. I prefer the standing mic as it's place on the table out of sight and picks up sound awesomely. Actually I would say my mic is about 1000 times better than some of the people I play CS:GO with. And I assume they have headsets with mics. When my mic dies or gives issues I just replace it. If my headset dies or gives me issues I replace it. I don't have to replace both when one goes tits up

What's your flavour?

I use one of those Genius standing mics. It's a cheap POS, tbh, but does the job well enough.

Don't really use mics enough to warrant anything more expensive.

I use the mic on my SteelSeries and it seems to be doing the job well.

I use a logitech usb desktop mic and 5.1 surround speakers. Don't like using headsets.

Don't you get feedback though when using TS and the likes?

This is the reason I use a headset, coupled with the benefits of hearing faint sounds in FPS games which are critical.

I comp CS:GO with these, the omni directional mic is good enough in my opinion picking up little to no noise. Then again, not many people like earphones.

I also have a cheap SoundMAX Superbeam mic as a desktop alternative, but it catches background noise. Currently budgeting to buy a proper open air headphone… Gaming headsets suck, expensive lesson learned.

Where can i find these Logitech USB Desktop mics. I have searching all over but no-one seems to have any. If there anyone that might have any, I am looking for about 20 of these mics.

Like the USMC guys use?

Those look awesome, but it seems like you have to push it against your vocal cords when talking

Ok I am thinking of getting a desktop mic now as well.

I want to set it up for Cortana, Skype, Hangout and whatnot.
Can anyone recommend a good one that uses an audio jack as well instead of USB. I want to see if this Supreme FX ii sound card is worth its salt.
