By Robert D Paul


PC mics are available in a broad variety of designs and may be used for several reasons. This enables you to have the freedom to choose the right microphone for your needs. Whether you work in a company office, run a company from home, are a hardcore gamer, or are just looking for something to use for online chatting there is a mic that will suit your needs. This guide will outline which mics work well for each of these purposes.

Headset Microphones

Microphone headsets are very versatile and can be used for nearly any purpose. Whether you're chatting, speaking with business contacts, dictating to voice recognition software, recording a video or audio clip, or playing games online there is a headset for you. Most microphone headsets have stereo headphones included, so everybody else does not have to hear your conversation or your game. Even though it is almost standard nowadays, be sure to check for noise cancellation on your headset.

Gamers prefer to use headsets with earphones that fully enclose the ears so as to drown out other sounds in the room, for example music, TV, or conversations. High end headsets are available for avid gamers that help them to be fully immersed in the game thanks to the high sound quality.

Standalone Microphones

Desktop microphones work best in situations where many people in the room will be taking part in the conversation or the recording. There are no headphones so the audio can clearly be heard by all, and anyone can speak into the microphone to be heard. This works well for meetings or chatting when the entire family is present.

Wireless Microphones

There are different kinds of wireless mics, including lapel mics, ear piece mics like Bluetooth headsets, wireless variations of standard headsets. These are perfect for multitasking since you can stay on the move while speaking with contacts, dictating, recording audio and video, or chatting with friends. Even gamers love wireless microphones because they do not have to worry about getting twisted up in cords.
