Hi chaps and chapess's

my girlfriend is after a boom mic to clip/attach to her headphones for use whilst gaming.

i've had a little google around and can't find anything more recent that 2010 posts of various forums, so am looking for some more up-to-date info.

any help appreciated

ta!

yeah saw that one, but it's 45 dollars/euros to get it + shipping. seems a bit much for such a piddling thing

Buy clip-on mic like the Zalman/Speedlink (which I can't find on OcUK anymore) or a Takstar TCM-370 or similar and just run it up the headphone cable and clip it on.

that's the thing, she wants a boom mic, not a clip on. we looked at the zalman one yesterday (and she used to have a similar one and didn't like it) and instantly turned her nose up at it.

The only other I have seen was someone on Head-Fi who drilled their headphone cup and soldered in a mic jack to it.

Buy cheap headset, snap mic off, velcro on earcup, velcro on mic. done.
