Best Headset for Skype?

[airjuggernaut]

Hey eveyone,

I'm looking for a good headset to use for skype.

I find that the quality on the built-in mic on Macs are kinda bad and static filled.

I HAD a USB Logitech ClearChat Pro, but it just recently broke on me.

Are there any other really good USB headsets out there?

or should I just buy a Griffin iMic and buy a cheap Line-in Headset?

and for you audiophiles...Would there be a quality difference between a USB Headset and a iMic + Line-in Headset combo?

Thanks!

I actually use the Microsoft LX-3000 USB - the best sounding cans for the price and works great on the Mac out of the box no drivers needed:

You can really tell its a digital signal being sent straight into it.

I know, I know... its Microsoft... but even I'll swear by their hardware (as opposed to swearing at their software)

Plantronics has several phones with mic that will work with Skype. I have DSP headset and they work great!

I picked up an old Playstation 2 Socom headset at Wal-Mart. It works fine on my Mac for Skype when I'm not gaming.

Hey guys, is Logitech 350 Premium USB Headset a good choice?

...I have a few options I'm happy with:

1. a USR skype phone I got from www.tigerdirect.com for $15

2. a Logitech USB premium headset $35 from the on-base PX

3. an anycom Paros-10 BT headset $20 (this was $50 at the PX but they had the Milos-9 in an ad for $20 and didn't receive any so they gave the model up for the sale price)!

4. Altec Lansing 3.5 pin headset - pretty old but still works

...all of the above work fine with Skype...

Audiophile & Skype don't go together

Though I just wear a headphone and use a desktop microphone.
