Microphone for voice chat?

ac
- in Dell
15

I have now decided to hire a headset to buy headphones + a microphone.

Headphones should be you beyerdynamic dt770 / 990 pro. But I'm still considering whether open or closed for gambling. Can someone help me there? I have the Dell G3 laptop so probably not a really good sound card. Will it be enough to achieve a good sound with the mentioned KH?

Now I have arrived at the point where I have to devote myself to the microphone search. I only want to use it for voice chat, discord, etc. I first looked at the Antlion modmic, but with a bit of research I often heard that it should not be good for the price.

I've been thinking about buying a 'real' microphone, like a studio microphone, but I do not know exactly what it's going to be. The Auna cm600 looked pretty good. Together with a base that would be priced at 58 euro what actually my top price limit would be. Would one still recommend a good microphone that is extremely cheap? Just suggest!

So summarized again:

Open (dt 990) or closed (dt770) headphones for gambling?
Can I get a good sound with the KH even without a really good sound card?
Is the Auna cm600 good and cheap?
Does anyone have a good headset (only for Discord / Skype / Voice Chat purposes), which does not cost too much and is good even without a good sound card?

Granted, I'm not very familiar with the subject matter, so I can only report that from my experiences.

Open (dt 990) or closed (dt770) headphones for gambling?

Here are some differences to headphones explained (whether open, half-open or closed):

Can I get a good sound with the KH even without a really good sound card?

This is a really difficult question for me, because each person perceives the different sounds differently.
Since it would be good if you had the opportunity to test a few headphones.
Headphones that sound good to me do not have to sound good either to you or to someone else, and vice versa.

Is the Auna cm600 good and cheap?

It's the same thing as the headphones.
The microphone, if you want to do it professionally, must fit the speaker to get everything out of the voice.
Really bad I did not hear about this microphone (yet?).

Does anyone have a good headset (only for Discord / Skype / Voice Chat purposes), which does not cost too much and is good even without a good sound card?

For some time I recommend people who just want to chat a bit in a voice chat (Discord, Teamspeak, Skype, during a game, etc.), cheap headphones and a cheap microphone.

As a headphone, I have been using the Superlux HD-681 for ~ 20 euro for quite some time now, exceeding expectations by far.
If you consider the price, then they are, in my opinion, unbeatable.

And as a micro, I just recommended some people a cheap "clip on micro" for ~ 10 euro.
However, some needed an "external sound card" (not a device for several hundred euro, but a cheap device for ~ 8 euro).

That was enough for simple conversations.

Otherwise, I use even a Røde NT-USB for ~ 140 euro.
But I'm often too lazy to connect the device, so the Ansteckmikro ago.

Some, however, are not satisfied with the clip-on microphones, others are.
What applies to just about every device…

For me it was just an attempt, as I wanted something quick and cheap ~ 20 euro for headphones, and ~ 18 euro for micro + "sound card", compared to various headsets, was really cheap.

The purchase is now two years ago and the products are still working perfectly, which I can't say of my former headsets… Since a year was incredibly long, just as long as the discussion with the support.

And as mentioned before, through the different sensations of the people, there will also be many different opinions…

To achieve a decent sound, you need an USB audio interface. The easiest is the behringer UMC22 for 35 euro. Neat but not great. Good would be the Steinberg UR12 or the Scarlet Solo if your USB is strong enough, both at 90 euro.

From Auna Mikros please leave your fingers, even from everything up to 120 euro Studio Microphone. "Worst China scrap you need it to gamble. There you can hear the smallest noise in large diaphragm, mouse, keyboard, fan. Quite apart from the noise.

You need a dynamic microphone for the interface. In your price range look for AKG05, SamsonQ7, or quite good the Rode M1 or the Shure Sm57. A pop killer does not hurt.

Tripod and fun

Thanks for the Comprehensive Explanation. I already had my difficulties with headsets. So far 2 pieces had one from Razer, the other from Logitech. For the price (both at just 100-150 euro) I expected better sound and a better micro. I already tested both headsets on a high-end gaming PC with an extremely good soundcard and there was no real difference to my laptop. In addition, the one headset broke after about 1 year, the other has held only 3 months. I handled both of them carefully!

Small update: I've decided by now pretty sure for the Beyerdynamic dt 770 pro as headphones. As a micro it should be the Auna cm600 with a stand. I hope that will be both for my senses Cheap and, above all, good. Well, if necessary, I can still send it back after a short test listening / test talk.

I've never seen what you say. So far it has always been said that without an interface I can't get everything out, but I can't get a bad sound. I also did not hear much bad about the Auna microphones. Especially for gambling these were recommended to me often.

I do not want to portray you as a liar or anything like that, please do not be angry with me. However, I'm very surprised, because so far I have not heard anything like that.

If I'm honest I try to avoid an interface as much as possible.

Ph

Then just do it. It's just a suggestion. 'M Only here in Girlfriend one of the experts and do the job with microphones, etc for many years.

Take the little trouble and enter auna or Tonor here at Good question at the top of the search. Read the questions of desperate users.

In fact, if you have a top sound card in your computer, then it does not require an interface. The Apple devices are a bit better equipped from home. But if you have the grottly built-in PC sound chip then there can be no question of good sound. If I have a Kiddi with a 15 euro Logotech Headset which is glad that the sound is somehow transferred… Of course, with his China headphones does not hear that a lot is missing… So fresh ran and then holes us with questions why your Tonor or Auna is not suitable for your purpose. Keep the original packaging so you can exchange it. Just as a tip.

Here is the question of a user last days. These micros no matter what they are called come from the same forge.
Microphone (Aukey GD-G1) with mixer is rustling heavily? What to do?
Hello everybody!

I used to buy the microphone Aukey GD-G1 to do something with YT, or talk to friends in general, etc. Then later I thought about recording my played things on the drums and then making them a drum cover, I got the mixing console Behringer Xenyx 1002fx, nice and good, but the point is: it's pretty noisy!

After editing brings nothing, sun sounds like the voice of a sponge

Hope I can help jmd

I think you take this completely wrong. As I said, I really do not mean it! I was astonished because I did not hear much of that.

I see that you're a community expert and I can't compete with your expertise in terms of microphone.

Since I have often been suggested the Auna microphones, I was convinced that it should be one of them.

If it helps you, this is the soundcard: Intel Cannon Lake-H / S - cAVS

Is there really no way around an interface?

Btw. I was recently recommended this microphone. It looks like a dynamic vocal microphone and looks pretty good in my eyes at first glance. Is also quite cheap and would be in principle good for me.

The good thing about this microphone is that it can use both usb and XLR. You start with USB, you're disappointed because the sound is so bad, buy an interface and have passable equipment. So you do not do anything wrong.

The sound chip of your board is in the reviews on medium-class, suitable for speech. Try with the mb 88th Since you do not do anything wrong if you have no money for something better. Always better than the whole auna / Tonor / Loom miserable

Okay, now I know.

I'll try it out for now. I still have to upgrade with the time anyway and possibly get an interface. If it does not work, I will refer to your recommendations.

Thank you very much for the quite good advice.

If I still have problems with my purchases, I'll probably come back to you, if it should be okay.

Definitely. Have fun and buy a tripod. The microphone transmits hand or keyboard sounds when using a table tripod

As soon as a microphone is nearby, the headset should be closed.

Listen in direct comparison to the AKG K52, K72, K92! I have been working for years with the predecessor models K44 and K77, so I have neutral, closed, extremely robust headphones at an unbeatable price. The Bayer models feel different, softer, less sturdy; sound comparable, not in the price.

I hear music over older AKG 240, which were not as bass-heavy as the current ones, and K701, 702, 712.

As a microphone you take the AKG P5, a good, cheap vocal micro.

Co

The problem with many counselors is that they do not know any alternatives other than the stuff they have been recommended by such lay people. The less you know, the easier it is to be impressed by big, sometimes lit microphones.

Ph

I also like to recommend the P5. Uncomplicated. But also needs an interface or a preamplifier. Like all microphones that a professional recommends:-) and that's where you belong. Have you ever heard in the Superlux headphones? I think that's great, but a bit tired in the basses. Nothing for techno listeners:-) I'll take a look at the AKG. Are really cheap. Listen to musicstore which is nice for my ears.

Co

Looks like a color-coded 240 copy.

I do not sell, so I do not have to try everything, use headphones privately and at work; Do not know anybody who uses Superlux KH's to listen to it.

In the job I do not like experiments. I often have to assess quality and level blindly.

Ph

Sell only myself as an entertainer. Do you professionally sound or something?
