Re: microphones for computer

[Robert Stokes]

Plantronics supply a range of USB Headsets incorporating a microphone. I'm 
currently using their DSP 300 model and am very pleased with it. I 
previously tried about four headsets of the type that plug into the 
soundcard, made by different manufacturers and found faults with all of 
them. Using a SoundBlaster Live card, I wasn't able to produce sufficient 
volume from the microphones when recording no matter what I tried. Another 
thing to bear in mind with these types of microphone is: if the sound on the 
computer is built in to the motherboard, avoiding the need for a soundcard, 
noise from fans etc may be picked up by the microphone. This does not seem 
to happen with USB types.

I would suggest you purchase a USB headset. I must have spent sixty or 
seventy pounds on the other type. Money I could have used towards obtaining 
a top of the range USB headset.

Good luck.
Robert.
