rbrtzh can you use just a headset with a mic on it can you use that on pc or do you need a headset and a separate mic

[@fattelly7480]

What i have almao

[@linkzellda]

The audio quality would be depend, I mean, a Turtle Beach sound good as a Blue Yeti, so it will depend which one you buy, but the good about headset is that, no need to worry about a pop-filter and the distance between you and the mic so do not need to spend extra money for a arm mic stand or a pop filter.

[@Skellyy]

True but the thing I love about the yeti is mic monitoring

[@PCSheepy]

Man 0'war was the best sounding headset mic. Blue yeti was best sounding of them all. I have the blue snowball which is great but do keep toying with upgrading to a yeti. Keep um coming Marcus.

[@CoffeeFresh_]

PCTechHub don't upgrade to a yeti. A usb microphone has a limit on how good the quality can get. And therefore the gains you should get from a yeti will not be noticeable. So stick with the snowball. Save your money for a chair or an L-shape desk.

[@JustinCrediblename]

man 0'war sounded like buttcrack. the a40 sounded significantly better, even though it still sounded like a steaming butthole

[@JustinCrediblename]

+coffee fresh Or a Focusrite interface with an AT2035 mic or better

[@koala-tytime6189]

When I read Man 0'war I thought of the gun from Black Ops 3

[@francislee5544]

dont upgrade to a yeti. Not worth it at all. They sound almost identical. If you're gonna upgrade upgrade to either a more expensive USB mic or XLR, but I suggest XLR

[@saihiko9967]

Thanks for making this video, I just really needed to know how I would sound when using those headsets, or if I ever use a real microphone. great job, on the vid, it really helped.

[@scalpingsnake]

My headsets were constantly breaking after a few months and I got annoyed so I bought a mic (blue snowball) and headphones (beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Studio Headphones - 80 Ohm) this was about a year ago and i'm still happy using them at the moment.

[@thecoolestdude90]

Yes

Yeah that quality from the ROG to the Blue mic was really noticable

[@NezzConstantine]

The cons of dedicated USB microphones of background noise can easily be resolved with decent noise cancelling software and properly calibrating it.

[@GlitchedWalker1]

I used a very bad PS4 headset, 1 year later I went up to a Turtle Beach Recon 50, now I have a VERY good headset, I recently ordered a USB microphone (the Auna 900G) it’s being shipped from Belgium as I’m writing and getting it on the 8th or 9th of January 2019!!! I’m really excited, the only thing it did not come with though was a pop filter I don’t think, but they are really cheap, just not gonna get one yet lol

[@ari-em1kt]

ngl this is my opinion, but im 100% sure headphones with microphone are better. Because you don't need a splitter to attach your earphone and then a microphone. You can enable the mic when u just want to use your headset. It sounds better because its extra near to your mouth.

[@derekwallace1955]

Hardware Canucks put a video out comparing several headset (a couple videos over the years really). And one headset that stood out in mic quality was the Razor Blackshark Pro V2 (V1/original just has less battery life as far as i can tell). That being said, i think you should check them out. I got a set, and for the price, i don't think there's to you too much you can complain about. Especially if you catch them on sail. Currently, I just saw them on Amazon for $130.

[@axeldeeker5644]

A headphone and a desk mic is a mutch better option indeed. It is like 40 euro's more but it is totaly worth it. The khz and the quality of the drivers is MUTCH better on the headphones and they sound mutch better as well. The comfort of headphones is better than headsets. The khz is better on desk mics and the overall audio quality is better as well. So basicly, everything is better for about 20-50 euro's more.

I want something to record my voice for a KZbin video: what should I choose? I got a really small desktop so if I choose a mic it will pickup all the background noise and will make video very distracting On the other hand a headset might be a little too casual and not good enough sound for a video, any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip. I definitely wont be buying anything that doesnt pick up/transmit good bass tones. A lot of cheap mics leave out those octaves.
