copy that gold leader this is red five I
0:03
got him great kid now don't get cocky I
0:06
feel the force it came from
0:12
behind but seriously guys this episode's about microphones for your computers so
0:17
number one is the mics that are included with headsets first we've got inline
0:21
mics these sit pretty far away from your mouth and can't be easily repositioned
0:24
so you only really use them in a pinch next up we've got removable microphones
0:29
so these SE are headsets where the mic can be attached to it or simply by
0:34
popping it off you don't have to have a microphone if you don't want to next up
0:38
we've got boom mics and it's all about
0:42
lowering the boom when you want to be heard they're often adjustable in terms
0:45
of where they sit but length can't usually be adjusted on Boom microphones
0:51
and last but not least what I feel is the best compromise is the retractable
0:55
mic this is great because the optimal position for a mic is right at the
0:59
corner of your your mouth and not everyone's head is shaped the same so with a retractable mic you can pull it
1:03
out further pull it out less or tuck it away completely if you don't want to use
1:07
it now bear in mind guys when you're shopping for a headset with a mic find
1:11
one that's noise cancelling and find the one that is high quality generally
1:14
speaking gaming headsets will come with better microphones than General
1:18
communication headsets unless they're very high-end ones desktop microphones
1:22
are another great option cheap desktop microphones eh not so much they don't
1:27
tend to have noise cancellation and because they have to be positioned
1:30
further away from the gamer often they have trouble picking up your voice very
1:35
clearly with that said high quality options like the Blue Snowball or even
1:39
premium recording grade microphones hooked up through sophisticated
1:42
equipment into your computer can offer some of the best available voice quality
1:47
without the inconvenience of having to buy a headset or having to have
1:51
something mounted that you have to move around and fuss with all the time
1:54
attached microphones are another option these offer the flexibility of being
1:58
able to use whatever headphones you you want not having to worry about whether
2:01
it has an integrated mic and not having to have yet another thing on your desks
2:06
so many people use that Zalman clip on mic however that has the same
2:09
disadvantages as an inline mic but there's a new game in town the mod mic
2:14
uses a magnet to mount directly to the side of whatever headphones you have
2:17
there's a little mounting piece that sticks on with double-sided tape and
2:21
it's a highquality microphone option with noise cancellation for folks who
2:25
want to use a highquality headphone as opposed to a gaming headset for their
2:29
music movies and want to get the best of both worlds thank you for checking out
