Ah, thanks.

 

 

Microphones are overpriced here. I'll see what I can do.

grab random driver

solder wires to it, 3.5mm male header on the end

plug it into microphone jack

profit

 

/s, that would be a fucking terrible mic with SHIT SHIT sensitivity

G430 is just a G230 with an extra adapter you shouldn't use anyways. The G230/430/930 isn't the worst thing I've ever heard, but that's not really praise. The Philips SHP9500 is the same price and much better in virtually all respects.

I made do for a while by plugging my VE Monks into the microphone port and taping them to my face. Surprisingly not bad-sounding; just need to turn the sensitivity up.

No microphone though

I've used the G430's before, and for the price its pretty good imo. for like 40-50 you get yourself a decent mic and headset, The 7.1 surround fixes the cancerous Stereo sound. The padding is generally comfortable, but the material is itchy sometimes. 

 

I honestly wouuldn't bother tyring to get a external microphone and headphones at this price point. Its low enough to where it really does not matter much.

 

If you can I would up your budget to grab any Hyper X clouds, Extremely comfortable headsets. Would recommend

there good if u only got around that much money

I have the G430 and actually am looking right as I type for a replacement. After about an hour of wearing them they start feeling really heavy on my skull. Pretty uncomfortable. They have a good mic and decent sound but I wouldnt recommend it.
