PC Headset

[DuncanSWardle]

I have no microphone or headphone socket on my PC

Can I still get a headset (something to use with ut2004) that works off usb and if so where from

[werewolf]

try the Plantronics DSP300 or higher (I think they have a DSP400, DSP500 and possibly DSP600).

They are pretty good quality stereo headset mic's with built in USB sound circuitry - you can plug them into pretty much any windows PC with a USB port and it will give you a reasonable/good sound :)


Are you sure you don't have a headphone/mic sockect on your PC anywhere?
i ask as most (if not all) modern PC's have a soundcard of some sort even if it only has the ports at the back

there are several usb headsets around, try ebuyer.com, komplett, dabs etc.

sennheiser do some very nice ones with a built in soundcard.

Buy the Speedlink Medusa 5.1 headphones with built-in microphone £40 from Play. Supurb sound quality and just made for your Audigy2.

They have a built in amp so they connect straight to your sound card. An audigy 2 has all the correct outputs.

There's a thread about them on the bargain forums.

An audigy will definately have a microphone input - you're not looking hard enough! They're usually pink, whilst the headphone socket is green.

I have a pair of Logitech USB 30's they work as a mike/headset combo from any USB port so are ideal for the laptop and MSN etc. The audio and pickup quality is excellent.
