Lookin for a mic/headset

Post by Defender »

I'm lookin for a mic that's not a set of headphones.
I basically want a mic that sits on my ear.

My XBox mic is exactly what I want, but it doesn't work in my computer (the jack is too small for the mic jack in my sound card).

Any ideas? Even an adapter for my XBox mic would be awesome.

Thanks.

The X-box jack uses a 2.5mm connector, right? You can get an in-line adapter at Radio Shack for dirt cheap.

No idea on the actual size of the jacks, so I wouldn't know what adapter to ask for.

From the picture on the link you provided, it could very well be a 2.5mm connector. Phone headsets use this connector as well. If you're not sure, take the sucker to Radio Shack and see if it actually is.

Ok, I can try that, but the people at my local radio shack seem to be cookie cutter employees that don't know jack (no pun intended :P )
