    Does anyone make a headset with just a mic? Its been pretty hard finding one although I may just buy a cheap headset and rip the earpiece off like my last one...

    How would it stay on your head without bracing itself on your ear? If it's just a mic you want, you may want to look at lapel mics used for live performances/speeches.

    If you ever watched TED - these people use a mic that doesn't actually have an earphone - so they do exist.

    Maybe somewhere around presentation equipment...

    Your in the same positon as me, I was using a cheap earpiece mic and having to wear it under my headphones, this is the solution. Not only is it what you need its cheap and a good quality mic too :p
