No help, but I do recommend a turtle beach or something of the sort. It may look like a high price...but they work, are good, and last.

I wouldn't spend much on any microphone. I just keep getting $1-2 POS microphones and when they break I get another one (because they always break). The bonus to this method is that you always have spare parts/ wires if you know how to repair them yourself so some of them spring back to life every now and then!

and if you feel fancy, buy the flippen skull candy cellphone earphones. they work great for phones and they are the same damn thing as box mics. cellphone mic = 10 bucks (nice) xbox ones (for idiots who dont think) = 20+ bucks (lower)


and im not calling you an idiot, i just know stupid people.


like for instance "What earphones should a get for my ipod? does skullcandy make ipod earphones?" <-- what like they are different than everything else?

no, go find ones with a triangle port. fail

iPhone 1g (first iPhone) doesnt use the same earphones as others. Xbox mics have a better mic setup than Earphones. Its closer to the mouth. People sound very distant when not using xbox mics (as opposed to headphone mics)
