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.

moin moin,

With everyone else suddenly going online I need to finally improve some of
my versatility.

Any recommendations for microphones?


Needs:

* something that does well with voice, e.g. podcasts, presentations, meetings

* something that will work for an acoustic instrument

* works with laptops and desktops

* can eliminate background noises

* works with debian/Ubuntu


Wants:

* one mic to rule them all rather than needing multiple mics

* works with cellphones

* wired connection option

* inexpensive

* can be used in an open room with someone else joining the same chat room
in a different room in the house without flashback sound effects

* can be used in an open room with someone else joining the same chat room
in a different room in the house with flashback sound effects because
kidling thinks it's hilarious :)


We already have that last feature with the current setup.

For the most part, mic use can be in isolated parts of house. I might end
up needing multiple mics. If so, preferably they'd all be the same, but
that's not strictly a requirement. Most likely, I'll be buying one mic and
multiple headsets with mics.

Preferably, I'll be buying from Newegg.

ciao,
