I don’t use a headset. I have proper headphones and a cheap clip-on mic for the rare occasion.
I just use a webcam as a mic. Not great for background noise, but I can stand all the way on the other side of the room and just talk loudly if someone needed to hear me.
@fuckwit_mcbumcrumble @exu I'm using my phone as a mic in combination with easy effects to filter background noise. You might want to take a look at Easy Effects
