I use speakers for gaming pops and bangs, but wear a headset for vent/TS so the kids don't hear the swearing. I had an old Microsoft headset with a mic, but the mic has now broken and the ear coverings have long since been condemned to the land fill.
I need a headset that is comfortable for extended use, which I can use for chat, but doesn't seal around the ear, so that I can still hear the game and the kids trying to kill each other in the room next door.
I tried a USB headset, but didn't like it as I kept plugging it into different USB sockets and had to reconfigure the chat software each time. I also have 2 sound cards and I use the Soundblaster for the game's sounds on the speakers and the chat mic input, whereas the onboard sound is chat headphone output.
Can anyone recommend a suitable headset, as I just get overwhelmed by the amount of choice. The one thing it needs is a decent mic, as bad ones are terrible.
Cheers,
K
