Good microphones for gaming

by Hukk • 20 Oct 2011, 17:26 • Journals
Hi!

As my old Koss SB49 died about week ago, I am looking for table or clip-on mic with price ~50€ max.

I am getting AKG headphones so I don't want to wear headset on my neck for mic use only.

Which microphones do you guys & girls use and any pros and cons on them?

OfficerCohen 20 Oct 2011, 21:13
i see but do you understand that for that if you want some bad ass quality you will need more than 50euro?

Logitech table mics are like 15€ max and accurately record pitch etc. Should be more than good.

OfficerCohen 20 Oct 2011, 18:48

Do you use push-to-talk, or does it pick up only your voice and not the keyboard bashing sounds you make?
Parent

perforator 20 Oct 2011, 21:12
Push to talk, it will pick up keyboard mashing if you don't :D

Would need wallhack for all the other fps games play also so would be cheaper to get a mic.

you can get cheap clip on ones from the likes of speedlink, trust, zalman and such that will be fine for vent

alternatively you've got stuff like beyer, audio-technica, sony, akg etc... for good quality audio recording you really do have to pay for it

if you use voice activation don't get a table mic, look for a unidirectional clip on

I can't seem to be able to use push-to-talk at fast paced games like ET. So I guess it should be unidirectional clip on then.

I had my eyes on Audio-Technica ATR3350 but it seems be omnidirectional so I guess it would pick up all the noise from my keyboard.

Will need to look into beyer, sony & akg.

Thanks for the reply.

depends really, I have the zalman and although it is omnidirectional i still use voice activation fine, louder stuff like a door closing etc will be picked up but never my typing, unless i'm talking at the same time

Does seem to be omnidirectional, do you use push-to-talk or voice activation with it?
