    I need headset recommendations.

      @doorwithwings I literally just found a headset in the electronics section at Target. It was like 20 bucks, and now it's my primary microphone for all my cartoons, my secondary being the Blue Snowball that my friend always keeps plugged into his iMac.

          @doorwithwings I only accept near-studio quality with my microphones. Believe me, this one is pretty good.

            @zeldatra It has some background noise, but with gaming that usually doesn't matter and with cartoons I can just remove the noise in Audacity.

                  @doorwithwings Well if you want a PC headset just go get a $20 one from Target. Trust me, they work fine.

                          @scoot Oh yeah, I'm well aware of the issue with Apple computers not having 5 mm inputs. I've already got that covered.

                    @zeldatra I'm just gonna have to do something like that /when/, not /if/ my Turtle Beach headphones break. I love these but got $128 they sure deteriorate quickly.
