Microphone problem (need help to choose)

by Balázs Kádár <SeeMyAddressAtTheSig@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 22, 2006 at 01:01 PM

Hello,

I want to buy a new microphone for my computer, but I have some special
needs, and I don't know whether they can be met. I want to use the mic
to talk on Skype and during gaming. 

My most important problem is that I don't like all these wires attached
to me. At the moment I only have a medium quality headset (with a poor
quality mic), and I want to upgrade that too (either to wireless
headphones/headset, or speakers). 

The following types of mics have I considered so far:
 - wired headset. Pro: good quality. Contra: wires. (always too short,
and in the way. Also I don't want to attach two extender cables, because
that would mean even more problems and lower quality.)
 - wireless headset. Pro: no wires. Contra: mostly designed to use with
mobile phones, very low quality, not suitable to use as a primary sound
output. Battery problems (built-in vs. replaceable, etc.) -- though I am
satisfied with my Logitech G7 mouse: two easily swappable and
rechargeable batteries.
 - table microphone. Pro: no wire on me, no battery problems, good
quality. Contra: sensitivity: sometimes I lean forward to my desk, and
sometimes I comfortably lean back in my chair. I want to be heard in
both cases.

Are there high quality wireless headset (suitable for gaming, watching
films, listening to music, and long term wearing)? Or independent
wireless microphone and headphones? Or table mics with good
directionality, useable from multiple distances?

Can you recommend me which type, brand and model to choose? I'm not
afraid to pay a bit more for better quality, but I don't think I have
enough money for very expensive professional equipment.

Thanks for your help,
	Balázs

P.S. Is it possible to use a mic with speakers instead of headphones and
avoid echoes and feedback?
