There are a couple people on these forums who are gamers so I figure at least one of them has come up against my problem: I love my headphones for gaming but the build-in microphone on my computer sucks. It picks up echo like there's no tomorrow.
So what I'd like is few recommendations as to what would be a good microphone. I'd prefer a clip-on/lapel-style microphone as that would be simpler, I feel.
I tried a Zaleman mic but it seems to be DOA and the advice their tech support gave after three days of waiting was, "Have you tried plugging it into a headphone port? They are usually pink." This being after I informed them I had Macs (before you ask, I tried it while dual-booted in to Windows, on OS X and on my Mac laptop running OS X). So I'm not going Zaleman. Though, I doubt I'll bother returning it as the return shipping is almost as much as I paid for the entire thing.
So does anyone have a recommendation? I'd like to stay under $50 as a maximum but less is better.
