VOIP. Im missing out...

[wazza_ni]

More and more I begin to realise that Im missing out by having no VOIP. I like being in squads that use voice as they generally are more "team orientated". Although it gets tiring havin to type stuff out and sometimes gettin capped while in the process of doing it.

Can anyone recommend a decent mic / headset to use? Its about time i got into the year 2007...

I got mine headset mic at Circuit City I think for $15. Try to find one with no headphones or only 1 headphone piece. That way you still rely on your good computer speakers.

Perfect mic, i've had it for the better of 4 months now; not a single problem (also ordered from newegg).
Sounds great and I don't notice any distortion of sound for such a cheapy mic, it's also a very sensative mic as far as I'm concerner which can be good or bad depending.. Late nights it's good for when talking in low tones or quietly.

Depends how much money you wanting to spend. Panasonic and Creative have just released some really good surround sound headsets. They are pricey though, and some of them are awful.

Just bye the PS2 logitech mic. It works, has one headphone and its comfy. Oh and it only is 20 bucks and uses a USB so you can use it for w/e.

I got a 1$ mic and it work perfectly fine, but I hate using it because it feel weird to talk to something away from your face, so I use that

For the mic you can get away with a real cheapie, i've always used the cheapest available with no problems... i also use it for skype etc. From my experience you dont need a fancy mic.

and you can just use your existing sound.

Go to town. Walk into Poundland, buy mic. Go home. Plug mic in, play.

My BF2 VOIP is MESSED, it works for the first 30 secs after joining the server and then after that it just says I don't have a mic.
