I recently bought the Sennheiser PC150 headset for gaming off newegg when my cheap headset died. Ever since switching to the Senns everyone in my clan complains that my mic is too quiet. I have messed around with mic gains, dB boost, etc, but it either is too quiet, or it distorts so bad that they cannot tell what I am saying.
I am looking to get a separate mic that I can use with my AKG K81DJ headphones that will provide the best background noise cancellation as possible. Because of this, Desktop mics are generally out, and headsets are also out of the picture. I have the cans, I just need a separate mic that I can wear at the same time.
While browsing ebay, I found these things called "throat mics" which wrap around your neck, and have two pieces on either side that lay against your throat and pick up the vibrations. A quick bit of googling revealed that these types of mics are apparently excellent at eliminating background noise. The question is though; how do they sound? I only want one if they will give me similar or better audio quality than an average headset mic.
Anyone heard of these before?
[EDIT:] wtf?? i meant to say pc150 not pc60
