steelseries siberia microphone

hai,

yesterday the mic of my Medusa 5.1 mobile was suddenly broken, so I went to the shop and now got the image: SIBERIA-FULL-WHT (isn't it beautiful? :D) for free because of warranty. Sound quality seems quite nice but the microphone is one piece of crap... I guess there are other people using that headset here, does the mic suck so hard for you too? Or can I improve quality with some windows settings or whatever? Basically my voice is too quiet because I can't always have the mic directly in front of my mouth AND there is some annoying noise in the background all the time.

edit: also thought about just buying a different mic since this one isn't attached to the headset, maybe one of those that stand on your desk. anyone knows a decent one for <10€? :D

Shit mic ... you cant change the quality of your mic or something its just a shit HeadSet.
unfortunate
Looks heavy , laughing out loud.
you can improve quality with using ventrilo
and get rid of your brothers and sisters, it's them causing the noise!

on a serious note: activate mic boost xD
got the same headset.my mates always claim it seems like im in an empty stockroom but i changed some microphone and windows settings (dont remember which actually) and now it seems to work.
used that headset, its fuckin shit.
Im using it for 2,5 years, everything works fine ;)
headphones are working so fucking good, better sound performance than 5hv2. And microphone... maybe i was just lucky in that but everybody says that i sound much better with Siberias microphones that with the one on 5hv2, so i have no reason to complain about the microphone (except the fact that its rly sensitive)
how do you use it? clipping it on your t-shirt?
