no I like this kind better, I do use a combo one but it didnt sound good, lots of background noise in episode 7 with jays and me. I use the headphones only on the combo and for the mic I use the stand alone USB one, it has a flexible design to it and its a usb so its easy to use, plug it in and you're good. Plus it has a noise reducer.
back in the day when I played counterstrike for tens of hours a day, I used to use a shitty mic that came with my (then) Packard Bell PC and I used the speakers to hear what others said. Since then I haven't really bothered with phones/mics for online gaming (other than for the xbox), but a lot of clans that host Enemy Territory skirmishes are almost forcing people to use them, and with some of these ridiculously intricate maps it becomes cumbersome to type out location checks and/or orders.
Basically, I'd like to get a nice set and I've got a $50 BB gift card sitting in my wallet so I thought I'd use it on them, but I don't wanna buy a shitty pair. Plus I'd be able to call into a podcast (since we all know everyone is dying to hear me).
Jays, what set do you use?
