00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.440
copy that gold leader this is red five I

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:11.320
got him great kid now don't get cocky I

00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.320
feel the force it came from

00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:19.080
behind but seriously guys this episode's about microphones for your computers so

00:00:17.359 --> 00:00:22.640
number one is the mics that are included with headsets first we've got inline

00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:26.960
mics these sit pretty far away from your mouth and can't be easily repositioned

00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:31.359
so you only really use them in a pinch next up we've got removable microphones

00:00:29.599 --> 00:00:36.200
so these SE are headsets where the mic can be attached to it or simply by

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

00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:43.800
we've got boom mics and it's all about

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.280
lowering the boom when you want to be heard they're often adjustable in terms

00:00:45.879 --> 00:00:53.079
of where they sit but length can't usually be adjusted on Boom microphones

00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:57.960
and last but not least what I feel is the best compromise is the retractable

00:00:55.760 --> 00:01:00.480
mic this is great because the optimal position for a mic is right at the

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

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

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

00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.759
one that's noise cancelling and find the one that is high quality generally

00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.400
speaking gaming headsets will come with better microphones than General

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:25.119
communication headsets unless they're very high-end ones desktop microphones

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:29.079
are another great option cheap desktop microphones eh not so much they don't

00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:33.600
tend to have noise cancellation and because they have to be positioned

00:01:30.759 --> 00:01:36.920
further away from the gamer often they have trouble picking up your voice very

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:41.640
clearly with that said high quality options like the Blue Snowball or even

00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:44.799
premium recording grade microphones hooked up through sophisticated

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:49.360
equipment into your computer can offer some of the best available voice quality

00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:52.920
without the inconvenience of having to buy a headset or having to have

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.640
something mounted that you have to move around and fuss with all the time

00:01:54.479 --> 00:01:59.960
attached microphones are another option these offer the flexibility of being

00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:04.000
able to use whatever headphones you you want not having to worry about whether

00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:08.319
it has an integrated mic and not having to have yet another thing on your desks

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:11.640
so many people use that Zalman clip on mic however that has the same

00:02:09.679 --> 00:02:16.120
disadvantages as an inline mic but there's a new game in town the mod mic

00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:18.879
uses a magnet to mount directly to the side of whatever headphones you have

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.720
there's a little mounting piece that sticks on with double-sided tape and

00:02:21.040 --> 00:02:27.480
it's a highquality microphone option with noise cancellation for folks who

00:02:25.239 --> 00:02:32.200
want to use a highquality headphone as opposed to a gaming headset for their

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:35.800
music movies and want to get the best of both worlds thank you for checking out
