1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,440
copy that gold leader this is red five I

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:11,320
got him great kid now don't get cocky I

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:11,320
feel the force it came from

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,080
behind but seriously guys this episode's about microphones for your computers so

5
00:00:17,359 --> 00:00:22,640
number one is the mics that are included with headsets first we've got inline

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,960
mics these sit pretty far away from your mouth and can't be easily repositioned

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:31,359
so you only really use them in a pinch next up we've got removable microphones

8
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:36,200
so these SE are headsets where the mic can be attached to it or simply by

9
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:42,000
popping it off you don't have to have a microphone if you don't want to next up

10
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,800
we've got boom mics and it's all about

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,280
lowering the boom when you want to be heard they're often adjustable in terms

12
00:00:45,879 --> 00:00:53,079
of where they sit but length can't usually be adjusted on Boom microphones

13
00:00:51,199 --> 00:00:57,960
and last but not least what I feel is the best compromise is the retractable

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,480
mic this is great because the optimal position for a mic is right at the

15
00:00:59,399 --> 00:01:06,240
corner of your your mouth and not everyone's head is shaped the same so with a retractable mic you can pull it

16
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:09,320
out further pull it out less or tuck it away completely if you don't want to use

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,200
it now bear in mind guys when you're shopping for a headset with a mic find

18
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,759
one that's noise cancelling and find the one that is high quality generally

19
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,400
speaking gaming headsets will come with better microphones than General

20
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:25,119
communication headsets unless they're very high-end ones desktop microphones

21
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:29,079
are another great option cheap desktop microphones eh not so much they don't

22
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:33,600
tend to have noise cancellation and because they have to be positioned

23
00:01:30,759 --> 00:01:36,920
further away from the gamer often they have trouble picking up your voice very

24
00:01:35,159 --> 00:01:41,640
clearly with that said high quality options like the Blue Snowball or even

25
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,799
premium recording grade microphones hooked up through sophisticated

26
00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:49,360
equipment into your computer can offer some of the best available voice quality

27
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:52,920
without the inconvenience of having to buy a headset or having to have

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,640
something mounted that you have to move around and fuss with all the time

29
00:01:54,479 --> 00:01:59,960
attached microphones are another option these offer the flexibility of being

30
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:04,000
able to use whatever headphones you you want not having to worry about whether

31
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,319
it has an integrated mic and not having to have yet another thing on your desks

32
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,640
so many people use that Zalman clip on mic however that has the same

33
00:02:09,679 --> 00:02:16,120
disadvantages as an inline mic but there's a new game in town the mod mic

34
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,879
uses a magnet to mount directly to the side of whatever headphones you have

35
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:22,720
there's a little mounting piece that sticks on with double-sided tape and

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,480
it's a highquality microphone option with noise cancellation for folks who

37
00:02:25,239 --> 00:02:32,200
want to use a highquality headphone as opposed to a gaming headset for their

38
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:35,800
music movies and want to get the best of both worlds thank you for checking out
