Hi

Im looking for a quality mic that can work for gaming using push-to-talk. Im using a set of b&w 685 speakers placed on the desk. So far i've been using the mic from low end crappy headset, it is working somewhat "okay", but i keep breaking them and people do complain over static noise and low volume..

Im aware that having speakers and a mic is not optimal for gaming as the mic will pick up sounds from the speakers. Thing is i am deaf on my right ear so using a headset foris sound is a no go as i would only be able to hear sound from the left side.

Im looking for a good mic that possibly can prevent picking up to much sound from my speakers. If thats not possible then i just need whatever kind of quality mic i can get, not sure what to look for.

Maybe a table mic of somekind ?

Im willing to spend 100-150 euro if needed.

Thanks in advance
 
Blue Yeti with the correct setting so it should only pick sound up from the front and not 'all around'
 
You can get a Blue Microphones Snowball iCE from the rainforest website for £40 at the moment, probably hard to beat unless you spend double that or more. I'd recommend checking reviews and seeing if it'd be functional for your desk-space though.

Heya, just for future reference mate, you can change sound from stereo to mono in the ease of access > audio settings in windows 10.
 
Thanks guys, awesome forum :cool:
Im looking into the blue yeti, nano and ice, the gain control on the yeti looks handy instead of having to use software i can adjust it on the fly while in game. I think i would need to get a "boom arm" for it aswell. Also looking at the audio technica 2020 usb+. There is a lot of mics out there, a bit overwhelming right now :eek:.
>>Threepwood, the mono setting would deny me the stereo aspect i think, ty anyway!

i'll get back soon when i get closer to buying the mic.
 
Marantz Pod Pack 1.
USB microphone which is pretty decent and a decent boom arm to get it close to your face. Bonus is it's less than £60 for the full pack.
