After watching too many videos of us on vent, I’ve come to realize how terrible I sound. I’m using a plantronics bottom of the line whatever from walmart. Any good suggestions in the sub-$50 range? Win/Luci’s mics seem to have very little distortion, what are you guys using?

I use a Plantronics Gamecom headset.  It’s reallyyyy big, but extremely comfortable and performs excellent.  Been using it for 9+ months without any performance reduction at all and seems to be durable - which is one of my main qualifiers for headsets.  Can’t recall how much it set me back, though - probably a bit more than $50.

Logitech G330. Their new gamer headset, not bad for 50$.
