Could you recommend me a Headset with a Mic for commentary recording [20-40£]
6 replies, posted
Hey guys, could you recommend me a headset with a studio quality mic so I could record a perfect quality audio without any static background sound. I want headset because it's comfortable that you don't have to bend to the mic all the time.
But if headset is an awful choice I will consider stand alone mics too. My budget is 20-40£. Prefer [URL="http://amazon.co.uk"]UK Amazon[/URL] products.
Thanks in advance,

If you're using a headset for commentary, you're not going to go anywhere.
If you already have a headset/headphones then just get a microphone, a Samson go/Snowball ICE do well and are easy to use.
The Beyerdynamic MMX2 has an amazing quality for a headset.

It's 49,90£ and it's not really comfortable for large ears.
Or go with a Samson Go Mic. I have both and the quality on the Go Mic is a bit better, it sounds a bit better than the MMX2 but because of it's size it might be a bit
more complicated to set it up correctly.

Works fine for me.
Any good standalone microphone will outdo any headset you can ever find. Bonus points is that you can buy headphones that are worth something rather than have two pieces of shit on one attachment.
Simply find the right microphone. If you have to bend over, you're doing it wrong. Either your volume is too low, your microphone doesn't pick up right or you're too far from it.
(I use a SM58 but only because it's cheap and I had one available locally)
Thank you for the recommendations guys. I will order this [URL="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001R76D42/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00"]Samson Go Mic[/URL] then and will see how it'll do.
