So finally my pair of $9 gaming headphones have kicked the bucket (they lasted 3 or 4 months, suprisingly, and even worked really well), and this time around I have decided that since I always seem to break every expensive set of gaming headphones I get, which I have no idea how... that I would get a standalone microphone and use this pair of general headphones I have laying around. I really need something that won't break, and the headphones always seem to do so (something about me taking them on and off improperly, or maybe its because my head is so big..).
Currently deciding between the Modmic (a headset that attaches onto the side of a pair of headphones), and a Blue Snowball iCE. My budget is max $50 but I may be able to extent another 5 or 10 depending on circumstance.
I'm totally open to suggestions other than the modmic or snowball, but those are my main picks for now.
