JB, why are you thinking of a headset? Why not invest in a real recording mic and good headphones? Admittedly, they’re not great for online gaming, but if you care about your production quality they’re way better.

Investment cost can be very high though; I’m running a Rode NT1000 and a saffire LE interface and it set me back about 600$. For me, who’s fascinated by recording, it’s a worthwhile investment.

I don’t think it’d be worthwhile for my purposes. I’m not using it for gaming, it’s just for voice chat and recording notes with speech-to-text. I don’t want to have to speak into a proper mic, either. I like to get my lean on.

I might use it to record some Tubsonics, but I actually like the gritty sound that comes from a cheap pair.
