    Thanks for the answer guys! I think I'm liking the Logitech one. Any other suggestions?

    Do you want a certian kind of microphone?

    Me personally I would prefer one like this: http://www.crazypc.com/products/4560.html

    Closer to your voice so naturally it can have less background noise and more of what your saying picked up and its a natural mate with a pair of high end headphones on like my AT A-700's that do not have a microphone boom on them.

    Basically its the best way to turn your favorite high end headphones into a headset, but you can clip it to your shirt or something too if your not using headphones.

    My search found Xoxide has the best price + shipping is cheap. Less than $10 all together - http://www.xoxide.com/zmmic1.html?productid=zmmic1&channelid=FROOG

    I need to get one actually soon as I get paid to replace my wally world microphone.

    I actually need to get one to replace my cheap wallmat mic I use right now, sad thing is the wallmart mic was about the same price :(

    here is over 100 user reviews - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836501002
    Many people say much better than all the $30+ mics.
