I'm just saying. If you would spend those $80 you spent on your gaming headset on a pair of headphones instead you'd actually get quality worth $80 instead of $20.
Can't really see what's wrong with clip on mics. if you're REALLY annoyed by clip-ons, just clip it on to the headphone cable, it'll be pretty much the same as a headset. Then if you're annoyed by having two cables hanging, fasten the clip on cable to the headphone cable as well. And quite a few, the siberias included, come with a clip on instead of a fastened microphone.
But I can respect that you're not an "audio snob" (even though that's probably not the correct term.) Not everyone cares about high quality sound, and I'd say "good for you" since you can save a lot of money not buying high-end stuff. Though you choose to spend it anyway, on a sticker that says "Gaming".
But in that situation I'd recommend saving $60 and buy a $20 pair with a clip on or a similar microphone solution. But if the clip-on solution i mentioned earlier is still bad, please tell me how and why, since I can't really see how it's any different from using a mic fastened directly on the headset. On most headphones you could probably even fasten the clip on microphone where a built-in microphone would be on a headset.
After reading this through I feel like I type a bit like a dick, but that's not my intention. It's probably because I'm quite tired. I just want to give good advice, since both audio and gaming have been quite big for me for a long long time now.
