Looking for gaming mic without headset.

[Kraven]

I never use headphones on my machine, so I've been using a busted up old headset of mine that I wear around my neck with the mic tilted up so it's in the normalish position.. but it's dying slowly.

Anyone use/know of anything good I can use for gaming voice stuff that doesn't involve a full headset?

Blue snowball hands down, I have 4 friends who use it for youtube/streaming and none of them have complained, its pretty cheap for the quality too.http://www.bluemic.com/snowball/

You'd have to ask anyone who's heard me how it sounds.

You can hear 99.999% of the rage

You can spend a lot or a little and not change your quality that much IMO

I don't... like desk mics, I'd prefer it was wearable

[WiseGuy]

hm, you want a wearable non-headset mic?

I actually just bought something to that end:

Since I don't actually use headphones (and I find wearing them to be uncomfortable, generally) but do want a mic, this seemed to fit the bill. It only arrived yesterday so I can't speak to long-term quality, but I tested the mic with a friend over steam last night and the sound quality was about the same as his headset mic. It's light enough to be comfortable, but since it's not on my ears I'd automatically rate the comfort above any headset anyways.

Note that it is bluetooth, so a) you'll need a dongle for it to work on your PC, assuming your mobo doesn't support it and b) you won't be able to use output and input at the same time while hooked up to your machine.
