I am currently using a Logitech base mounted microphone that cost me $30. back in 09. Intermittently having issues of not being heard when playing COD WAW.

You will be surprised. You can test your system making sure it’s the mic and then you can keep it as a spare after you upgrade.

It comes with a one sided ear piece which I don't use (I use my pc speaker system).. I only use it for the mic.

It could also just be a volume issue, does your mic have a volume control? If so make sure it is on. Do you have a sound card? If so check to see if the boost is enabled. Also check the speaker icon on your desktop next to the date and see if it is turned up. Edited June 5, 2020 by Angelz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made in China as with everything these days. The exact same mics were in the dollar store $1 just a different package. The mic I used for several years the sound was great. That's what tics me off about corporations. Sell the jobs to China NEVER LOWER THE PRICES REAP IN MEGA PROFIT.

I wasn't aware the Dollar Store sell Mic's. That's a new one for me. I have a headset with a boom mic but I can't stand the headphones over my ears for a long period of time. Plus I prefer my speakers, I can tell better which direction sounds are coming from. I though of using a singe ear piece as E-raser suggested. E-raser did you remove the ear piece, or do you just wear it behind your ear? AthenA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

E-raser did you remove the ear piece, or do you just wear it behind your ear? I still put the one ear piece over my ear, but it is so soft and light fitting that I can still hear outside sounds (my pc speaker system) through the one earpiece side. There is no ear piece on the other side(one sided). Because the boom mic is right next to my mouth it does a good job of picking up my voice without the game sounds from my pc speaker system.
