Kelha Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 So I am not a fan of circumaural headphones, and I’ve been looking for a solution for a long time and would like the community opinion on this. I have been looking at the following microphone/earbuds: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826455020 For those of you not wanting to follow the link, those are house of marley earbuds with an inline mic. They’re neither top nor bottom end, and should suit my purposes well enough. My questions are in set-up. Between Vent and Teamspeak I like to use push-to-talk, and am wondering whether that will jibe with these- is the mic always on? Will my mouse button PTT turn these on, or will it always be on? Is the mic strong enough to pick up my voice? Does anybody else use this setup and/or have recommendations for a similar product? I’m not a sound junkie, I just want to hear ingame music and more importantly, have functional vent/ts. Any and all advice is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JugglerofGeese Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 I am not sure about team speak or Vent, but in mumble I have the mic set to PTT, even if the switch is set to on, the software controls the input/output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j-cart Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 (edited) Buy a pair of your favorite earbuds (mine are JVC Marshmellows) and buy one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836111601 Just plug in your favorite earbuds into the audio jack and the desk mic into the mic jack. Once in mumble, run the wizard and you can set Push to Talk to any button that you want. PTT is software based, so it will only transmit if you push the button. However the mic is "technically" on, so if you happen to be on Skype and Mumble at the same time then Skype will pick up everything while Mumble will only transmit if you use your PTT. Hopefully this is what you are asking for! Edited September 21, 2012 by j-cart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelha Posted September 21, 2012 Author Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks everyone- J-Cart, yes, that is what I was wondering, thanks! I was trying to avoid the dektop mic but it looks like that's what I'll need to do. The advice is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
