So ya, this mainly just a request, figured blogs have been successfull for other people so i'd ask for help here.

Main thing im looking for is a good MIC but not a desk stand on, mostly like head phones with mic attached, but im up for suggestions.

im only willing to spend 40$ (maybe a little more if you highly recommend it)

Basically im a high ranked plat player having gone 209-64 before the reset. i play zerg, and havnt seen many people who "play while talking" like orb for zerg. Although im not particularly lookin to get as popular as him, i'd like to give back to the community. and i may not be the best in the usa for zerg, but i'm very consistent and play creatively and keep up with all the current events in sc, so ill be able to talk plenty and answer questions.

*edit* on another note, if youc an find one like on walmart (i know nothing about mic's so they all just say "sound canceling mic" which doesnt differentiate them at all then awesome, ill start today

I use these Logitech's for my work (I do over the phone support). They have good sound quality and stay pretty comfy for hours at a time.

Looks like they sell them at Wal-Mart too.

aw too bad you missed the $15 + $5 shipping Steelseries Headphone on woot that someone posted earlier...

But honestly if you don't care for sound quality or w/e, just get any $25-$30 logitech headset. They should work fine

And if you do commentate while livestreaming, I will definitely tune in

i would be careful with these

depending on your computer, you may hear a constant buzzing noise in the background when using clearchat's
it's annoying as hell.
i bought a pair and returned it the next day cause it was just so bad.

edit: just to clarify this isn't because i got a defective pair, i would've had the same issue with every single logitech clearchat usb headset. it's a grounding issue that logitech hasn't resolved

Go for a circumaural Sennhesier or a Plantronics headset on newegg. Cyber Acoustics aint bad either.

Ive been using this Plantronics one since my Sennhesier died after 2 years of my constant abuse.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826265063&cm_re=headset-_-26-265-063-_-Product

This was what I used or a similar model, dont know why its $90 now, it was only $50 back then. Must be the high demand and its still out of stock. Not in your price range but if you are willing to spend that much...

I'm interested for replies because i need one as well, however i am able to spend 10-20, maybe 30 dollars more if any really good ones get around that price
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

i was looking at plantronics headphones before as well and thought for sure that was what i'd get with all there good reviews, but it seems they dont say anything dfiferent about there mic's, and since sound quality isnt my big thing, im curious what the difference is? cuase walmart or bestbuy have a few plantronics headphones to choose from.

any other input disregard? would enjoy it. also thanks for the logitech advice, and the recomendation. since i woudlnt really mind the buzzing just while casting (i use speakers when not casting) i may get that if just for the "cheapness" aspect, but i'd really like the platonics if someone could tell me what the differences in mic quality are lol

For a mic, I use the Zalman clip-on mic.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00029MTMQ

Then I just use headphones I already have.

umm
just to elaborate, the buzzing is the background when you speak
you'll hear it on your recordings etc
the headphones are actually quite decent on the clearchats
the mic's just a piece of shit (well if the grounding is an issue for your pc. it might be quite good otherwise, not sure)
