Headphone w/ Mic reccomendations

celticfan11 · August 1st, 2005

I am going to be buying a new set of headphones with a mic for my PC. Does anyone have any suggestions. Preferably under 50$

Thanks in advance.

i use a plantronics audio-60 headset and so far im impressed

but my needs are minimal... only use it for Skype.

Plantronics DSP setups are good, have nice ear-pieces, plug into USB ports and have really good mics

Plus the software is pretty kewl if you install it.

how does the sound work thru usb? do you need to install their software for this to work?

Its plug and play. It worked automatically for me. The sound quality is really good and the noise cancelling setup works great

Agree with the Plantronics.

Good stuff. I step on mine regularly and she sounds great... mic doesn't mess around either, all parties read 5 on 5.
