Hi guys (first post, don't eat me :s)
I've tried this on various hardware and gaming sites, and I assume they were the wrong place. I got no help at all.
I currently use a 5.1 speaker system for my game audio. All my friends want me to use Skype to talk while we play, and I have no microphone. They all say "get a gaming headset" but I like my speakers, and I've bought them - I want to use them.
What I'm looking for is a headset like the one that comes with the Xbox 360 (see here) to use in conjunction with my speakers (does this mean using USB?). I don't want them for game audio - I don't care if the sound isn't audiophile level. I want to hear my friends clearly and let them hear me and not my game sound.
I was looking at something like this but as you can see the reviews are *******ed awful.
One helpful person said about just using a clip on mic and using my speakers as voice output. Would you reccomend something like this
? It wouldn't pick up game audio right?
Otherwise, I may have to get an actual surround headset and use that for chat+audio when my friends want me...
Thanks very much, and I hope you're of more help :P
