Mini with Microphones

[Moria]

I'm wanting to get Skype, but Mac Mini's don't have a microphone jack. Is there a USB thing I can buy to give me one? USB headsets are really expensive and don't want to buy an expensive headset which I wont use all that often. You can get standard headsets (3.5mm) for about £3 on www.ebuyer.co.uk

Hello Moria,

I myself use a griffin iMic with my mini to use skype. Works fine, but it costs... I prefer this over a usb headset as i can connect anything i want to the iMic.

The iMic will prob be your best option.

Jeez, i still cant believe that a mini does not have a line in! 😕 I actually had to look up the specs on the mini because i could not believe it didn't have a line in.
I know its an economy-line mac, but jeez.

For Skype, there's some USB Skype Phones available for Mac, I think. They're pretty nice!

I use my bluetooth headset for it, but I do get a lot of complaints from my friends that they here a noise whenever I enter a conversation. And for some reason, I don't always get a connection, they just don't hear me.

Just bite the bullet and get the Logitech USB 350 headset - beats just a mic that will pick up the sound from your speakers. Excellent quality (both voice and headphones).

Although I didn't buy it from here (I prefer product pictures), I think this could be a steal if someone wants to try it...
