Just my two cents or rather 99 cents I have a teamspeak server so i use that a lot and before I used a headset to talk with people in game. What bugged me was that expensive headsets would always wind up breaking the wires with no way to fix it. So I got tired of buying new ones. I wound up buying a cellphone mic in a 99 cent store and bought an adapter at radio shack that let me plug it into my sound card. It worked sounded great so i bought five more, when the wire broke I threw it out and used the next one. I found an old desktop mic and gutted it out and inserted the mic I was using. I haven't had to replace it yet. Still have 4 replacements if something does happen. I've seen others buy expensive mics and sound bad and I have been using my same mic since 2010
If anyone wants to connect to my teamspeak and hear how it sounds let me know So find whatever works for you and don't think that it has to be an expensive solution.
